Personal Notes:
Aunt Helen Scott gave me this recipe many years ago. It became one of the Hardin Family favorite pie recipes, especially Richard. When he was little he asked, "Why do people have to always have cake for their birthdays? I want pie?" When I asked him to name his favorite pie he said, "Chess!"
