As the repository of my mother’s memories, I have promised to share them as they come to mind. Remember there were nine of them, collectively known as “The Dodge Boys”, the two girls included. The three youngest and Miss Addie were the hell raisers (insofar as being Charlie Dodge’s kids was concerned). Aunt Fran, the eldest, was a tad tough on the young ones so she was often the target of their foolishness. Once, out to the Ryder Farm, Fran made a dish of fudge. She was quite firm with Addie, Harry, Ned and Paul. They were not to get near the fudge … the fudge so carefully placed on a window sill to cool. well that wouldn’t do. The little devils had at that fudge leaving just a few pieces … but how were they to survive this breach of sibling etiquette? Ah, the livestock! A chicken was impressed into service. Claws were placed on the last remnants of the fudge. Fran, furious, never learned the true fate of her dessert … Thus, the story of the Fudge Escapade!!! is now revealed. As an aside, Aunt Fran made the best fudge ever!
