(Lyndon 20)
[In 1938] one morning quite early, about 7 -- I think we were living on the hill in Richland Center and Daddy was on one of his trips to Milwaukee -- the phone rang and it was my father. "Well," he said, so weary, "Lyndon is drowned." My heart sank.
Polly Kay (1904-1997) vividly and with humor describes her life in Richland Center, Wisconsin, in excerpts from letters to her son Skip written after 1949, including her 5 last years in an old folks' home.
