~ 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.

Saw From Russia with Love at Hillcrest Drive-In - Friday, June 18, 1965

Tex and I went to the Hillcrest drive-in out past Gladstone tonight. We thought we would see two James Bond movies, but they showed some other thing first, so we only stayed for From Russia with Love. We stopped at  Waid's on the way back. Tex is a nice conversationalist. This morning when I got to the top floor of Alumni I found furniture from the whole education department piled in the lounge where my group has remedial reading and more in the kitchen where Dee's group meets. I can't see how it could take that long to get things back in place after cleaning.
