~ 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.

A Picture From Fred - Monday, December 16, 1963

I'm afraid I'm going to have to risk a late paper for Mr. Carey - I'm just getting started on the "developing the unit" part of my resource unit outline. Except for going to class and some time with Fred, I spent the entire day working on it. Fred Alexander Haenisch gave me a picture tonight. We've been having fun teasing Evelyn by calling her Edna (her first name), so we decided Jim, Fred and I could be called by our middle names! What fun we don't have - at the same time, I'm still worried about everything I have to do.
