Personal Notes:
I acquired this recipe while in high school at Eufaula, Oklahoma, twenty six (26) years ago. I still have it as it was printed on the old barrel printers schools used with a special type of paper. Not until now have I transferred it to a recipe card. I made this while still at home with Mom and Dad (Val).
