I met and worked with Candy´s stepdaughter Ann during a wonderful year (1971-72) of living and working in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Candy was so kind and hospitable, and I enjoyed many hours in her company. She sent me her Steamboat Simmers cookbook soon after it was published, and reading through it today led me to do a Google search for her. What a lively, kind, and joyous person she was, and I´m sorry to have lost touch with the family after the move to Stroudsburg. Please tell Ann that Annie McLeod (now Jenkins) from The Ptarmigan sends her love.
