Personal Notes:
Dodie often talked about this pie. However, we never had the opportunity to taste it. I found this recipe in Blanche's papers.. Dodie loved to bake and pies were her speciality. Her full name was Sophie Jenkins Rubright. She died in 1987 at age 104! I tested this recipe March 2006, with compliments from the family. Intense lemon flavor, but well balanced sweetness.
