Kaye Saves The Day!!!!
- a memory of Kaye by Dena Houston.

One Sunday afternoon, Franklin and I hosted an AIFD potluck supper at our house. Those were the days before potlucks were organized, so potluck really meant “luck”. Almost everyone had arrived and we had only desserts and salads. The serving table was resplendent with everything but a main dish. We then noticed Kaye walking up to our house carrying a huge covered serving dish. The smell of Kaye’s homemade lasagna preceded her. When she came in, everyone applauded. Kaye saved the day!
