Jerry Moore is a friend of mine that I have known since high school. By coincidence she happened to move to Utah at the same time I did. I stayed with her and her family until I found a place of my own. To help me out she gave me a lot of cooking utensils, dishes and also some of her recipes that I had enjoyed while at her house. - DLL
