A lady who kept us in Florida gave us Campbell's Soup and "Maynayze"
sandwiches. (I have heard pretentious types call these big gorgeous
black women who babysat and cleaned in the early '60s "nannies," but I just
am not sure. What I do know: I loved mine. She had her friends over and they
did the boogaloo in the kitchen! This was maybe 1961-64. When she left, she
always said, "see you later alligator."
