Personal Notes:
My best girlfriend, Kathy Hughes Stahl, lived along the “tow path” when I was growing up. We were friends since 5th grade, and later became best friends. When we were in 9th grade home-economics class, we had to prepare a full course dinner for our final exam. I still have the recipes from that meal. Over the years, Kathy has shared with me many of her mother’s (Ione Hughes) wonderful recipes plus those she has accumulated. This sugar cookie recipe is one of my sons’ favorites.
