I always eavesdrop on these email threads with pleasure.  But I am so moved by 
everyone’s remembrances of Angelene, the Winedale cook, I wanted to add my 
thoughts.

I remember her well, her warmth, her interest in us, another crew of summer 
visitors.  And I remember her food, which was wonderful, country, and 
sometimes, for me, curious. (That sugary sweet Mexi-German salsa?)  She had a 
generous heart and I won’t forget her.
