He’s was a great……uncle of mine. He seemed like a great guy who saw the ills of society and at least tried to counter them…..although some of his beliefs were out there, he was sincere and in some cases, he was right! I’m no cook but I’ve been digging around to find his authentic cracker recipe to give it a try. I will probably combine elements of various ones, including yours, I’ve found in my research. Thanks for sharing!
