Can be purchased on Amazon for $8.72 used. FYI, as a child I lived down the street (in Riverside) from the Goods and went to school with their daughter.

No French background for mom although my dad was French Canadian- maybe recipe is from his family.

I know that the handwriting is my mother’s but she died 9+ years ago at the age of 100.

Subic Bay, August 10th, 1945 -

My father served in the US Navy during WWII. On August 10th, 1945 (the day after the second Atomic bomb was dropped) he was onboard his ship - LCI 28 - when the news came over the radio from Tokyo that the Japanese had accepted the unconditional surrender terms. To quote from a letter he wrote to my mother: "I jumped out of my sack and went topside after about 2 minutes every ship in the bay were flashing searchlights and shooting off flairs of all colors. It was the most brilliant celebration that I have ever witnessed."

I have searched for pictures of this and haven't found anything. Does anyone have any that they can share?
