I have known Lester Dunklee since high school. I was a senior, and he was a shy freshman whom I would meet occasionally in the hallway, walking along with his head down and a determined look on his face, headed for his next class.
Little did I know then that many years later I would meet him again, as an adult, when somehow we got him to come help us one night at Evening Star Grange in Dummerston.
I can attest to the fact that Lester not only makes the best homemade donuts in town, but also makes wonderful iced tea and pretty darn good coffee! When needed, he washes many a pot and pan as well, sometimes spending a couple of hours or more bent over our deep sink making sure that every pot, kettle, and pan we own is scrubbed clean after use.
When asked if he's almost done, he will look at you and smile: "I don't know, have you brought them all [to me] yet?"...
