~ About: A 1961-65 Park College Diary ~ As a high school girl and then a college coed in the first half of the 1960s, I wrote nightly entries on the pages of one-year diaries. In January 2010 I began transcribing the entries into a blog and gave each one a title. I grew up on three farms within 30 miles of Iowa City and the University of Iowa with its Iowa Writers' Workshop. As the oldest of four daughters, in my diaries I sometimes referred to my sisters as "the kids" or "the girls." We helped our parents, but we also had good, wholesome fun - a characteristic I took with me to Park. Park is 300 miles southwest of West Chester, Iowa, in Parkville, Missouri, on the Missouri River 10 miles northwest of Kansas City, Missouri, and across the river from Kansas City, Kansas. In 2000 Park College became Park University. Today Park's flagship campus is in Parkville and there are an additional 41 campus centers across the nation. Park was one of the first educational institutions in the United States to offer online learning. My last post was on May 22, 2018. I may be followed on Twitter @BarbaraMcDWhitt.

Spent the Evening with Nic and His Family - Tuesday, July 28, 1964

Nic wanted me to go to the horse show at Kalona tonight, so I did and met him at the concessions stand. The whole Walker clan was there. Cherie was home from nursing school, and we spent a lot of the evening taking her places - to change clothes, for one thing. Then it began to rain and most of them headed for Walkers, but we all had to go out looking for Scott Walker and finally found him. Nic came to West Chester with me, and I drove home from Washington. I just had a feeling a letter from Evelyn would coincide with another "date" with Nic. Phyl and I went in to the dentist this morning. We each had two fillings.
