Everyone was invited to eat lunch at the White Eagle Restaurant after Art's burial service.  This was the same restaurant that the Pascua Family had used for Manong Rey's Lunch Reception.  I enjoy  pictures of food as it triggers a taste memory. If the dish was good enough, it may provoke a search for a recipe for us to try it here at home. Having Don and Betty Mullins at our table was a hoot.  He officiated the funeral and burial services.  He's 83, yet still sharp and full of wit.  Betty, Don's wife,  was an original  member of the Girl's Baseball Team (All-American Girl's Professional Baseball League, or AAGPBL) that  inspired the movie A League of Their Own
