Pillsbury Manor Interview with Polly Getkin By Everett and Jazmine
Polly Getkin was born in Washington DC, 1918. She later on lived in New Jersey. She didn’t live on a farm but her uncle lived on a farm. Often she would go and play in the hay loft. Polly had a cat and a dog. She liked her cat better than her dog because she thought cats were more cute and cuddly than dogs. Polly’s dog’s name was Coco. She liked to play baseball and basketball with her friends. Polly thought some days were better than others in school. “It’s how you feel when you get up in the morning that effects the rest of your day,” Polly said. Polly had school buses to get to school and some times she would walk. One of Polly’s favorite places to go was the fair. The fair was always fun. There were a lot of fun things to do. She did not look up to anyone but she wanted to be a nurse. She was a nurse in New Jersey. She rode the ambulance if the patient was a girl with an emergency. Her favorite holiday memory was Christmas with her family. Polly is presently in South Burlington, Vermont, in the lovely Pillsbury Manor.
