The young blond English woman, the former Ann Hodges, whose father was a member of the Royal Air Force, was born in Manchester, England, and educated in English school. Before moving to Nicocia, Cyprus, where her father was assigned to the air fort there, she completed two years of college with home economics major at Salsbury Tech, and Watford. Her proficiency in cooking, however, started long before that when as a child of eight years, her father first started teaching her. It is a talent that serves her well, for with a family of six children, the ability to prepare tasty, but filling and economical meals is important. Ann met Charles Calkins while he was working with the U.S. State Department and in 1958 returned to this country, first living in the Back Moun- tain area, and later moving to seven years. Having fallen in love with the Back Mountain, Ann could hardly wait until they moved back to this area, and although presently residing in Meadowcrest, they are re- modeling a home on Jackson Street, Dallas into which they will move in the next few weeks. Ann is looking forward to her new home with modern appli- ances which will enable her to prepare many more of the menus her family “enjoy so much. - Her oldest daughter Susan, ninth grade student at Dallas Junior High School, is also adept in the culinary field and her mother has taught her how to prepare many of the menus for which she is so well known. Ann’s husband is an oil burner technician for Home Fuel. Both enjoy sports, and as a family the Calkins’ attend most of the school athletic events. In ad- dition te Susan, there is Heidi, Keith, both in Dallas Junior High School; Sandra, Dallas Intermediate; Scott, who will attend Dallas Borough Elemen- tary in September; and Todd, who will enter kindergarten in the fall. Cooking is just one of Ann’s accomplishments. She sews, knits, and is an avid reader. She became a Mountaineer fan last “gets carried away with her enthusiasm.’ She is an expert at refinishing furniture and is currently at work re-doing her diningroom suite to match the decor of their new home. She has been learning ceramics and has finished several pieces. She is still working in stains and soon will begin working on glazed items for her new home. She is an antique lover and has picked up several which she plans to refinish for special niches in Ann is also an accomplished horsewoman, having learned to ride when a girl living in England and horses are her favorite animals. She admits that occasionally, especially near holidays, she «, nk has never been back to England since coming to America), and hopes in the future to return to visit her, brother who has married and had four children since she left. Her parents now live in New Zealand and her mother has visited her twice, her father once. . The Calkins usually spend their vacations taking one-day trips to the many places of interest in Pennsylvania, New York, or New Jersey. Ann seldom makes English dishes anymore since her children like most of the foods popular in this country. However, the mincemeat and flaky pastry are recipes she brought with her from England and for the holidays she makes miniature pies in a special pan she brought from England.
