~ 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.

Went to Stadium, but Game was Played in Cleveland - Friday, June 25, 1965

Tex and I were going to go to a baseball game tonight, but when we got to the stadium there was not a sign of activity. Apparently the game was being played in Cleveland. We went to the show, "The Yellow Rolls Royce", instead. It has good ratings, but we didn't care that much for it. It has beautiful scenery and interior scenes. We stopped at the Hotel Muehlebach to check on the Cleveland Indians - not there! - and went to the coffee shop. That is the hotel where the president of the United States stayed last night. I went out to Chinn School after reading class to get some more tests.
