Letter: Memories of Adair County

Comments re article 70055 Old Knifley If Dink or Dewey couldnt fix it you had a PROBLEM

By Charles Phillip Goode

Dewey and Della were my aunt and uncle as Della was Dad's (Charlie) sister. Most weekends in the 1950's would find us visiting them. I never had to hang around the old garage Dewey and Dink ran together before one or the other would pitch me a nickel for a coke followed by the other sneaking ma a candy bar. I got my first lesson in whittling from their father, who I only knew as Mr Holcomb, setting around the old shop.

We also visited other aunts and uncles in Campbellsville or at "The Old Home Place" on Bull Run Road, where John and Nelly Goode lived with their 3 kids, Maryellen, Maxine and Lanis. Patty came along after the family moved to Campbellsville.

We also visited family on my mother's side. Nancy Cox was my grandmother's sister on Mom's side.

Cooking with grease - but which one?

Lard may be making a comeback. If you are over 60 years old, chances are you saw your mother or grandmother use lard in cooking.

But if you are younger, the practice might seem strange and unhealthy, like cooking up a heart attack.

Not so fast.
