Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
A friend of mine gave me this recipe in 1979. I stashed it away and never made it and forgot about it. Bill loves cheesecake and several years ago he was going to a potluck and asked me if I had a good cheese cake recipe. He made the cheese cake himself, and it went over great. Now, Bill who never did and still does not know much about cooking, has become famous among his friends for his cheesecake and is asked to make it often. Once a friend paid Bill for making it then the friend served it to his girl friend telling her that he himself had made it. I understand this young man scored a lot of points with his girl friend when she tasted the cheese cake. This really is the best cheesecake I’ve ever eaten.
