Grandma Patrick kept this cover of the Prairie Farmer newspaper from 1952 because it had Grandpa’s writing on it. I wonder who Grandpa voted for, Eisenhower or Stevenson.
On the bottom she wrote: This I found after Dad’s passing, perhaps the only writing of his we have. It’s Franks writing he put mustache on the man, etc. (he did have humor).
I was 17 and following my mom’s tradition of making birthday collages when I made this for my mom. I don’t remember making it, but I know I did make collages — Just like Mom did for me and other folks. It’s actually perfect, especially the “my problem is my mother” and Can’t we be friends? I don’t remember if she liked it. That she saved it doesn’t mean much since she saved everything.
“Anger,” an etching by Dona Patrick, age 111/2.
