Wayne Buchanan's family has been getting together one weekend in the fall for generations to make apple butter in his great-grandmother's kettle, which dates back to the pre-Civil War era. She originally started making the apple butter, but wouldn't let a soul help her work. Somewhere along the line, the whole family started chipping in and for decades, they've collaborated to produce a delicious haul that keeps them eating good through the coming year. Wayne teaches Latin at the high school where I teach and is a brilliant man. He's learned and sophisticated and talking to him, you may not guess that he and his siblings, some of whom are chemical engineers, grew up doing subsistence farming to raise all their own food. Wayne's dad, a professional and engineer himself, believed that the years he spent farming as a youngster were so beneficial to his character, that he wanted to make sure his children had the same opportunity to learn lessons that only hard work can teach. Wayne tells us about apple butter and education - both formal and informal - and gives us a look at his Appalachian family and heritage. I know you're going to enjoy hearing from him. Relax and listen...and have a biscuit with apple butter while you're at it.
