Manitowoc link


As everyone knows by now, Chuck Heston died yesterday. His wife Lydia Clarke, was from Two Rivers Wisconsin, just north of Manty. Her dad was an educator and principal, and there is a school named for his honor: L.B. Clarke. When the family came back to visit the folks, they always ate at the Left End Supper Club in Manitowoc, about 1/2 mile north of our home. Their baby Frasier, who was baby Moses in the film, was my brother Jeff's age. The Heston's would bring him (and later sister Holly) to visit the Grandfolks. Brother Jeff's good friends, the Dunne sisters, taught Lydia in school. Small world. I know lots of stories of the Dunne sisters, and many include "Chuck and the family." I know them only through brother Jeff, who was a friend to the sisters. The sisters did travel at times with us to Eau Claire when Jeff was cast in musicals. They also visited Egypt. Those stories are SO interesting. Maybe brother Jeff would help in recalling them. Rest in peace Chuck, and prayers for Lydia, Frasier and Holly.

Does anyone have a recipe from the Left End menu?
