I have 100 pages yet to go of my French reading. I didn't turn in much Stylus news this time, but it's about time I took a break. I talked to Dr. Hampl this morning about some French meetings for the Stylus - I told her she should stop in on her way to or from Monmouth. I talked with Mrs. MacDonald and Nancy for an hour at breakfast. They're very nice - they are spending their spring vacation here till Thursday. Mom said Mrs. MacDonald really likes me. From the sound of things, I missed a good movie this afternoon, "The Birth of a Live Baby," but I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it that much.

- ~ 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.

Barb—
I just finished reading your last dozen or so posts. (I got behind!) It is interesting to compare with what is going on here now, thinking how things are the same and how they are different from what is going on here right now.
Indeed. Some things do remain the same, other happenings are different now than they were then.
