Personal Notes:
Grandma Jones was known for her pies and the crust was always the best. At Bake Sales in Lawton, her pies always sold first. I can remember going to her Sunshine Club Sales and hearing all the praises she received as her treats were snapped up quickly. Her best was fresh Blueberrie.
