Personal Notes:
This was a labor of love. I well remember that five gallon bucket of cucumbers sitting on our kitchen floor, seemingly for days on end, and my mother laboriously changing the water. The recipe my mother left behind was in her shorthand style of writing. Nancy Swann Vanlandingham graciously helped me fill in the details. — Mary Dungan Thomas
