She Didn't Win First Prize

I have been reading in old newspapers on-line and found my mother mentioned in May of 1928 in the Harrisburg section of the Albany Democrat-Herald, Albany, Oregon..

It stated that she had an entry for cake bakers at the local Achievement Day. She was Wilma Falk, a teenager who belonged to the 4-H cooking club which had been organized a few months before.

Wilma came in third in that contest. But that's all right because I know that by the time I was her daughter she could bake very good cakes.
