Gonna be some competition - a posthumous entry for Sam Montalbano has
come in. He was a US army veteran, serving during the Korean War.Also
he was a member of Little Flower Men's Club; Sangamon County Board;
Teamsters #916, Boy Scout Troop #202; Breakfast for Friend-in-Deed;
VFW 10302 and Sangamon County Inter Veterans Burial Detail.

And never met a stranger.  Bv)=  He is missed by many.

Whoever gets the award - it will be well deserved.

DD> Dragee is a French word for a sugar-coated nut or a small

RH> That's always a good thing. I've never bought/used them for cake

Only non-edibles I ever put on cake have been plastic candlesticks
for a birthday cake.  Bv)=

This ain't a birthday cake - but it's pretty good. And better yet - easy.
