Gail: As far as I can remember we went out on Thanksgiving morning as far back as 1930's. I am 74. Ann from North Bergen In a message dated 10/25/2006 7:01:09 P.M.

I'm going to have to quiz some of my mother's first cousins. I wonder if it was a particular ethnic tradition? This is all very interesting stuff.
