Personal Notes:
I can still see my father, William Reynold Bradshaw making bakes in our huge cast iron frying pan, which I wish I still had, burning them because he couldn't regulate the gas. I have days where I burn everything and think of my beloved Dad! My Aunt Elizabeth Bradshaw once said to me,"Mary, you should know how to make bakes by now!" I still don't (R.I.P. Aunt Liz) -Mimi
