"Friday
night the Bloomington Church had a pie supper at the Schoolhouse to get the
means to buy a furnace. The proceeds
amounted to about $117. You should be
proud of your mother as I won a large angel food cake as the best looking
married lady there. I hesitate a little
about spreading that news as people might think this is a community of
hard-looking women."
--Letter
from my grandmother, Bloomington, Kans. to my father, Winfield, Kans., Monday, February
17, 1947. My grandmother was just shy of
her fiftieth birthday.
