Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Mary Virginia Gillions’ youngest daughter, Karen, became a dear friend in high school. We didn’t realize it at the time, but the Gillions and Dungan families are related — two Gillions brothers married two Dungan sisters shortly after the Civil War. Mrs. Gillions once served this recipe when I was visiting their home, and I later asked for the recipe. Karen called it out to me over the phone as her mother recited it to her. I still have the envelope on which I jotted down the recipe!— Mary Dungan Thomas
