~ 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.

Looked at Furniture for Lounge with Judy and Evelyn - Saturday, October 3, 1964

This morning Evelyn, Judy and I went in to Kansas City and looked at furniture possibilities for our lounge at the Salvation Army and two used furniture stores. Judy is going to talk to her "mother's boyfriend" who has leads to some furniture and compare results. I had a "time" driving all over KC with Evelyn and Judy directing me! After we let Judy out at her house, Evelyn and I went to see Margaret and Ellen (Hans wasn't home) where they live now off The Paseo and to pick up a dress for Evelyn to wear next weekend. I then left her in NKC. The LLCs actually beat the ACCs 13-12 in softball.
