A Thanksgiving memory: 'I lay five kernels of dried corn on every place setting at Thanksgiving dinner to remember the starvation the Pilgrims endured in 1621. That was their daily ration before the first crops came in. When you see it, you know how little it was. Of the one hundred two passengers on the Mayflower, only fifty-one survived. I am descended from two of them. So I give thanks to my ancestors, who struggled against all odds.' (Caroline Lewis Kardell, historian general of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, in Plymouth, Massachusetts.) December 2 is the open house at the museum, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Featuring a collection of 'Scrap Books.' Marion Historic Association has two coverlets still for sale.

Marion Master Minds are doing well. Adam Loucks, Pete Goodridge, and Tim Abel scored for Marion. The cross country team ran well at Sectionals. Senior Liz Boerman earned a Sectional shield for the third consecutive year by being a top ten runner in Class DD. Also running well for Marion were Jane Bovet, Deb Hussey, and Craig Dolecki. So you're stuck with two bushels of butternut squash. The easy way to cook it (peeling is so difficult) is to scrub the squash, cut into pieces, boil until soft. After it cools, the peeling comes right off. Job's done!
