Women's Work: A Century of Maine Experience

Blaine and Goldie Averill imageBlaine "Tinker" Averill, the cook, and his wife, Goldie, taken between 1945 and 1947, at Little Musquash Lake Woods camp. These two worked together to feed the lumbermen at this camp, three meals a day, all winter, for fifteen years. Goldie remembers that "I used to love to cook. My husband and I did everything together. And now I just hate to get a meal for myself... He'd do the mixing, and I'd do the frying. We did everything together. And the pies, he'd fill them, and I'd put the meringue on top. [P 929] [NA 1075.006]
