She is the one with th£ reputa tion of perfection the one who will travel around the country for a particular ingredient She received a degree in diete tics from Penn State many years ago, and is the daughter of one of the original four sisters who ate together and are no longer living. “My mother was the pie maker. She was the Sunday cook,” said Alice who cannot drive by the street of her childhood home where these family gatherings took place without bursting into tears. She recalls the fond memories of her childhood days and the close ness that developed between the family members. There was Aunt Helen, who never married and taught school. She was the designated dish washer. Even when dishwashers became the vogue, she insisted in washing the dishes by hand before putting them in the dishwasher. Alice remembers her mother saying as she cooked, “Go down home and get some butter or some eggs.” That sharing between families was so established that one of the sisters once told her husband when he wanted to move, “I moved far enough away from home and I’m not moving any further.” The irony of those words were that the sister had only moved two blocks from the family home, and her husband only wanted to move to a house three blocks away.
