Comments: This is a test. Apparently some shilobrats can't access the guestbook to post, and I am testing with this post to see if it works for me, as it did a few days ago.

Comments: In memory of Doug Jenkins, I am going to post his recipe for Cherry Loaf Pound Cake. He was very proud of it, and I can vouch for how delicious it is. LITTLE DEVIL POUND CAKE 2 cups Robin Hood flour, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 cup granulated sugar, 4 eggs, 1 cup candied cherries (halved), 2 tsp. almond extract, 1 cup butter. Combine flour and salt. Mix 1/2 cup flour mixture with cherries. Cream butter and sugar together; add eggs one at a time. Add remaining 1 and 1/2 cups flour mixture gradually. Stir in extract and the floured cherries. Fold into a 9 by 5 greased loaf pan. Bake at 300 for 90 to 100 minutes, in center of oven. and here are Doug's personal notes: 1. I also add raisins (soaked in water). 2. I use read and green cherries. 3. I microwave the butter for 17 seconds so it is easy to mix butter and sugar. Now if anyone makes this new recipe (called Little Devil Pound Cake), post your comments on this guestbook!! Doug will be reading.

Comments: Karen: I am so looking forward to your Life Story! Do not worry, Edie will post it for you here on the Shilobrats web site.
Comments: I didn't know Doug very well (or for a long time), but I sure liked reading his LIFE WAS CALLING account, because he expressed his authentic self in such an honest and charming way, and it motivated me to put my little life story together. As soon as I get a reply from the editor, I will figure out how to submit it. Keep on stirring the pot, Doug;;;;;;;, Brat lives matter;

Comments: Ken, I am so very sorry to hear this ! My condolences to you, Debbie and your family. Isn't it wonderful that Doug submitted his story for the LIFE WAS CALLING series. I was privileged to work with him on that project and come to know him a wee bit better. I loved his openness and honesty. I WILL MISS HIM !

Comments: Doug was a friend. We exchanged lots of emails, many on the Salmon industry which he monitored so closely, and also giving me heck for being on Facebook. All the while, he was a good natured "little devil", and Ken, I really believe that his passionate postings on the guestbook, were coming from the heart, and I liked them. Good bye Doug;;;;;;;;;the little devil;;;;;;; I'll miss you. My heartfelt sympathies to Ken, Debbie and the rest of the Jenkins family.
Comments: Ken - I'm so sorry to hear about your brother Doug. I was going to write him one of these days to see how his check-up in Calgary went, but now sadly, it is too late, and it is a reminder to everyone not to procrastinate, but to drop little notes to those you are fond of. In the last few months Doug and I had a few interesting e-mails back and forth. Now I am choking back tears because I will no longer hear from him. All I can do is send sincere condolences to you and the rest of your family as you celebrate his life in the next few days.
