~ 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.

Car Had Flat Tire which Tex Changed and Said to Replace - Tuesday, June 15, 1965

This morning when I went out to get in my car, the left front tire was flatter than a pancake. It had been low for quite a while. Tex changed it for me and at lunch persuaded me that it wasn't worth fixing. So we went to NKC and bought a new one for $13.30 at a Goodyear tire sale. I checked over the phone about a few more apartments, but all three had been rented. The library's slowness in getting the Dispatch out adds to the difficulty. I persuaded Insuk, Ruth and Yoko to go to the J.R. tonight. Insuk needs to get away from her studying more.
