Woo-hoo, Barb!! I'm so 'cited for you! Not only terrific (and
envy-inspiring) results in terms of individual ribbons, but the Alltrista
Food Preservation award, two Ball & Kerr Best awards, and three Gedney Best
awards!!!!!! WOW!!!!!

If you have the time and the inclination, I really think you should start
teaching jam and pickle classes as you mentioned some time ago. People with
your skills are a national treasure in what is sadly a declining artform,
and I think you should if possible share your knowledge with your community.

Okay, I'm getting off my soapbox now.
