When I was transferred from the Main office to the PK branch of
Graham Savings, one of the first phone calls I answered was from Faye
Wilcher. We began a lasting friendship. The following Christmas, she
brought me a batch of the above recipe. I had tasted these at a
Women's Club meeting. Faye and I now have had a long and lasting
friendship. We have laughed, cried, had lunch, attended Sunday School
and Club together and all because the recipe gave us something in
common. Faye now lives in Lubbock but returns to PK as often as
possible. Many things can happen when you have a good recipe.
