Someone named Phyllis Plove ([email protected]) in Iowa wrote to us in 2002 and said: “Teofila was called “Aunt Tillie” and finally arrived here in the States, in the late 1950’s if I remember correctly. I think it was 1957 or 58. I will have to ask Mother to be sure of that. I was fortunate enough to have met her at Grandma, and Grandpa’s house. She showed me the scars on her head. My Father was a Master Chef. He and my Mother owned their own restaraunt ( 5* ) until the day he died. He too cut all of his own meat. The similiarities are unreal. I trained underneath him from the time I was 4 years old and have had 3 Fine Dining Establishments of my own.”
