Note from KZ -- as a tribute to Mrs. Duncan - I never met her but I truly loved her daughter, Sylvia. She made the best, to-die-for corn EVER. Wasn't just my opinion as when Sylvia would get out of the vehicle and head for the Barker reunion (Lafayette, Veedersburg, Covington, Waveland ...) everyone got around her, smelling the huge pot of delightful veggies. No, it was not just her corn why we all loved her either -- it was her sweet personality, always asking about everyone, constantly doing something for someone. She was truly a lovely lady.
