~ 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.

Saw "Hatari," After Seeing Hatari Plane - Friday, February 1,1963

The movie "Hatari" was really good. We saw a Hatari plane parked at the Cleveland airport last summer. This afternoon, since Dr. Hampl wasn't there again today, I went in to Kansas City with Margie and Nancy. Since I bought some stuff at the bookstore and my Hell Week reprints and have to save $2.50 for "Persephone" tomorrow night, I didn't spend any more of the $10.00 check Mom sent yesterday. Some virus is going around. Karen Lewis had it first - they thought it was measles. Bob Young, who was in the health center, too, has it now, and Jim Hurst, who had been up to visit Margie, went up tonight with it! Here's wondering.
