Letter to the Editor: Thanksgiving Memories

To the Editor:
This Thanksgiving dinner at the K.C. Hall may be the last one held there. Rich Schulte has done this for 18 years. He announce this was the last year he was doing this. This is a wonderful meal. He has such a nice group of people working with him.
This time of year I always think of a Thanksgiving dinner we had many, many years ago. My dad Harry Westerholm worked in Baraboo, WI in the defense plant. So did the Johnson brothers Spike and Earl. We had a snowstorm right before Thanksgiving. They couldn't make it home, so no pay check, no groceries.
I don't know what the Johnson families had for Thanksgiving dinner. My mom, my three brothers and me had scrambled eggs and baking powder biscuits. Not the usual Thanksgiving dinner, but it was a special one that we talked about often.
