Hazel,
Do you mean the little Blue Ribbon cook book that was sent to us by the
BR company shortly after we arrived here? If that's the one, I still have
mine. Lost the original in a house fire in spring 1947, but wrote to the BR
company and they sent me another copy.

> There were a couple of others I can't remember.
