Feedback from Cousin Joe Metz, top row, far left in photo:
"Joy it was great seeing you yesterday & picking up a copy of your cookbook. It's been fun reading the anecdotes about the various recipes. There are a number of them that are long familiar dishes.
I did an interview with Dad a few years ago when StoryCorps was in town. He mentioned that he would sell cakes that Grandma made around the neighborhood.
So while that wasn't her primary source of income, she seems to have augmented the
household income with making those delicious baked goods for others.
Great job, Joy! "
