    Hi Mary! I'm a longtime follower and fan of The McDougall way of eating. I just was curious about YOU and where YOU grew up, where were you born and raised? We hear all about Dr. McDougall and his background growing up around Detroit MI. But what about you? If memory serves- didn't you two meet in Grand Rapids MI at Blodgett Memorial hospital? I am curious because that is where I was born and grew up in a suburb of GR. Anyway- thank you so much for sharing all your hard work and fantastic recipes with the world!

      Thank you so much for your kind message and for following the McDougall way for so many years! You remember correctly. My parents met at Blodgett Memorial Hospital in Grand Rapids. I will share your message with my mom. She will be so happy to hear from someone who grew up nearby and to know how much you appreciate her recipes and hard work. ~Heather
