~ 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.

Listening to and Liking Hawaiian Music - Friday, June 19, 1964

Virginia is playing a Hawaiian record on the record player she got for her birthday. Yes, I still like Hawaiian music. In fact, I appreciate anything to do with Hawaii more than I used to. I wonder why! I wrote back to Flo. A year ago we couldn't have believed things could look so good for the LLCs. We've got to keep it that way. I got Daddy three undershirts for Father's Day. I also got myself a new toothbrush, as I do about every three months anymore. I tend to "eat" them. This one's black.
