Judy Dilsaver


Judy was one of my best friends in High School. My parents went to Europe for 10 days during our Senior year and I stayed with her and her wonderful family. Her Mom was such a wonderful cook and introduced me to the Ruben sandwich. I'd never had anything like it before.  It's one of my favorite sandwiches to this day.  For some unknown reason, Judy and I decided to prepare a spaghetti dinner for Mr. and Mrs. Becker at my house during my parent's trip. We made a delicious Lemon Meringue Pie for dessert. Everything was going perfectly until I went to drain the spaghetti into the colander. The whole pot of spaghetti missed the colander and went down the garbage disposal. Mr. Becker heard the shreeks coming from the kitchen and came running only to see me and Judy frantically clawing the spaghetti out of the disposal. We were so embarrassed!  To this day, every time I see the Becker's, I'm asked if I've fixed spaghetti lately. We still laugh about it almost 50 years later.  Unfortunately, I lost contact with Judy after high school and was so saddended to hear of her passing many years later. She had a great sense of humor and was a wonderful friend. I miss her.
