Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Submitted by: Eileen White ~~ In going through Mother's recipes, I found some treasures! These recipes were written side by side on the back of an envelope. When I turned the envelope over, I saw that it was addressed to Daddy and the return address was Northwestern State College of Louisiana. Inside was a report of Errol's grades. The postmark date was April 8, 1958. Also, there was a grocery list written on the envelope!
