Personal Notes:
Rose and Ms. Pauline Barron made "whiskey balls" one year they made their famous Christmas candy. Rose took a tin of candy to a Bethesda finger food social which included these. Brother Charles Gammel, pastor at Bethesda at the time loved to tease Rose about bringing whiskey balls to church.
