MENU: HW plate lunch added for monday

[John Majka]

Howdy Mary,
Of course I remember you well, and your late husband.  In those pre-Internet days it was necessary to call and pester you endlessly since you were one of the only stateside sources of HW news and information!  The same could be said for Mr. Coleman, esq., whom I think I must have     harassed to a similar extent.  It's comforting that a couple of decades on, we're still in communication regarding the same obsessive interest!
