Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Grandpa Bud and Grandma Wanda had a several restaurants during their married life where they worked tirelessly. Grandpa would come home from working at the Molding Mill, change and don an apron and cook all evening. Kelly remembers grating cheese and cutting onions for hours. Both were famous for their good cooking. Grandpa for his tamales, and great Mexican food, Grandma for her pies, cakes & sopapillas. People came to the restaurant just to hear her play the organ.
