Significant characters have always been an influence in my life. Aunt Kate was one of them. My fondest memory of her was coming into The Store and have her wave from the window above the butcher shop. She loved a good laugh, and was a cook of few equals. And when she and some of those equals of Adolfi women did rigatoni with sauce and meatballs at Nazies camp on Otter lake.....It was best to stay out of that tiny kitchen and be ready for some of the finest food that ever waifed its scents across the Adirondack back woods.
I will miss you Kate and I cannot ever express the pride and joy I know from knowing you. And to Hank Barb and Nancy and the grandkids, I can only wish for the passing of time to ease the pain of your loss but never the memories. We will all hope for the same with us.
