1949 Recipe - Audrey Pope
"One of our neighbors at Harvard Forest was Bob and Audrey Pope. After finishing the Forestry program, we went to Houston, Texas, and the Popes went to Maine. Then we both ended up working for the State of Oregon in Salem, and we became next door neighbors again! This was one of Audrey's recipes that she made during Christmas time." - Jean Hansen
