Here is a reprint from a previous edition of The Collectors Newsletter:

Hi! I enjoy your newsletter so much! This morning one of your stories made me think.... I collected
"everything" for years! Had a house full! Things given to me & others that I bought when we were out &
about. One day a young friend brought her new baby over to visit me & she had a fit over all my
Fiesta....she had been buying a little piece here & there and her family was giving it to her as gifts! She
had loved Fiesta for a long time & hoped someday to have a wonderful collection! So that day I felt like I
should give her my pieces! Why wait until I'm gone...that could be years! My only stipulation was that she
enjoy them, use them & pass something of hers on to someone who will enjoy it. Since that time I've given
away hundreds of things....it seems I always find more! Instead of waiting until I'm gone I get the
enjoyment of seeing everyone enjoy the things now! And everyone knows that unless they REALLY want
something not to mention it to me....because it will be theirs! I don't miss those things! I get so much
pleasure knowing that they are so valued & loved by someone who can enjoy them NOW!... Jane

Here's a vintage recipe for "cracker stuffing":

Ingredients:
• 5 Large Onions
• Chicken Fat (or oil)
• 2-3 stalks of raw celery
• 1 large box Ritz Crackers (or 1 large and 1 small)
• 1-2 eggs

Brown 5 large onions in chicken fat (or oil if you prefer) until they are very brown. Cut up 2-3 stalks of raw celery. Take a large box of Ritz crackers (or 1 large and 1 small) and crumble them into bits. Add browned onions and raw celery to crumbled crackers. Lightly beat 1-2 eggs and add to mixture. Put stuffing in a soufflé dish. Cook in the oven with turkey for the last hour and a half that the bird is in the oven. Bake at 350 degrees. Baste often with turkey drippings or use chicken stock.
