FAMILY LEGACY

Fred Sauceman’s article, “From the Carter Family’s Kitchen,” that appeared in the March/April issue was a pleasure for our family to read. I met Mr. Sauceman at a mutual friend’s birthday gathering/potluck dinner. The topic of conversation turned toward memories of family recipes as we all shared our food, and I invited Mr. Sauceman and his wife over for lunch. We had a wonderful time, and it was such a joy to share the memories of our family gatherings and the meals we all shared. My mother-in-law’s [Janette Carter’s] recipes and cooking tips were as entertaining and endearing to me as the music that the Carter family shared with the world. Our region has such rich traditions that have kept families connected through years and miles. It has enabled us to connect with so many new friends as well. Thank you.
