Constance Crawford (George Houle's first wife) wrote "The Muse of Menus: Stories from Life and
Cooking" (John Daniel and Company, Santa Barbara, CA, 1988), which includes recipes and anecdotes
such as "George Houle and la Soupe à l'Oignon" and "Alysoun Ford's Garden Salad". (Included
among the book's vignettes is a description of Houle's experiences as a student assistant
to Sandor Salgo; see page 49.)

While she was a research professor at Stanford, Esther met Constance Crawford and Alysoun Ford
(Newell Ford's first wife); one common factor between them was that they were all divorced from
their Stanford professor husbands during the period 1966-1967. Esther also knew Newell Ford's
second wife, Mary Ellen. (For further information see
