"We are going to Aunt Ethel and Uncle Tom's for dinner tonight."
With those words from mom, I knew my brother Keith and I would be
putting on ties and "dressing up" for dinner at Aunt Ethel's. We
would usually be seated in the sun room with Bill and Bohn Frazer,
our "cousins-in-law." Keith and I are the sons of Howard and
Imogene Stout (Howard, who died in 1978, is the brother of Ethel
Tucker) and Bill and Bohn Frazer are the sons of Bob and Dorothy
Frazer (sister of Thomas Tucker). Uncle Tom passed away in 2001. He
was generally regarded as the foremost Crittenden County historian.
Aunt Ethel is often referred to as the matriarch of our community.
Even as I have grown older, I have come to realize how special meal
time at Aunt Ethel's is. On Wednesdays, we often gather there as
well as for Sunday dinner after church. From the simplest lunch to
the most extravagant dinner party, the food is always delicious and
the presentation is always enticing. To this day, the most coveted
dinner reservation in our community is a dinner party invitation to
Aunt Ethel's. This book is not just a recipe book. It tells the
story of living in a small town. It also explores the fellowship
developed when "we break bread together." Thanks to Aunt Ethel for
all she has done. Alan C. Stout
