Pecar Family Reunion 2009
Descendents of Gilbert and Helen Pecar celebrate a family reunion in Mancelona Michigan summer 2009.
Peyton, Detroit Michigan
We all remember the front porch on Peyton at Grandma and Grandpa Pecar's house. It was a common sight to see them both waving goodbye as we left their house after a Sunday visit.

From Aunt Ethel
I asked Aunt Ethel about Birthday Cakes, and this is her response:
This is a nice idea--but honestly I don't remember her making birthday cakes for each one's birthday--I don't remember ever having one for me with candles and all the stuff we do for families today. I don't even remember any celebrations for anyone's birthday--
I guess you could eeny meeny miny moe-- for any of her recipes--she may have made--you could ask your dad if he remembers celebrating birthdays--maybe there was a store bought cake--I don't remember any store bought cakes back then-- --or maybe Aunt Della made a cake--she did do some baking--she used to make some really good coffee cakes--
And as kid, I can't remember anything that could help you with birthday cakes. I don't think we did as much celebrating birthdays then--as we do now..we never had parties--.
I do remember her making fruitcakes at Christmas time--she had a great recipe for a white fruitcake and another for a dark fruitcake and she made something called Christmas Pudding Candy. She would pack small boxes for gifts at Christmas. of course she made Christmas cookies, too.
When I was first married, I made the fruitcakes, too but stopped as my family and many people dislike fruitcake. This year I actually bought a 1 # fruitcake for myself as I really got hungry for some.
Keep in touch,
Love, A. E.

Jelly Pie
This is Helen's eldest son, Allen's, favorite pie recipe.
3 eggs; 1 cupful of sugar; 1/2 cupful of butter; 1 cupful of preserves (of jelly); flavor with vanilla.
This recipe makes filling for two pies.
That is the end of her directions. The filling should be poured into 2 prepared unbaked pie crusts. Oven temperature and bake time were not included.
