And the cafeteria at the student union at the Univ of Colorado (Boulder)
is named for Alferd Packer.

Anything unusual on the menu, Blanche?

Its a true fact that the descendants of the Donner Party have a weekend
get-together and barbecue every summer at Donner Memorial State Park at
Truckee, CA.
We used to imagine menus:
- baby back ribs
- barbecued Bill
- and of course lady fingers for dessert.
- of course there are buckets and buckets of Bloody Marys for the adults
and Shirley Donners (um, err, Temples) for the kids

I never understood the whole "donner" thing. I did a google search, and
apparently "Donner Party" has something to do with some western
migration thing. I am so confused.

Truly?

Well, as I understand it, the story is that there was a group migrating
somewhere through a mountain pass and they got caught in a snowstorm, ran
out of food and resorted to cannibalism.
