Was this also the Marion Davis who worked as the chef and supervisor in the kitchen of Central School in New Ipswich? If so, she was a formidable, rather heroic woman.

If Marion Davis was displeased with you as a student in Central School's cafeteria, you got hauled into the kitchen to receive a dressing down. Even if you weren't to blame but were unfairly accused, you just hung your head and assumed a sheepish look and took what was coming to you. She wasn't mean but she maintained good law and order from the time of pre-luncheon prayers through dessert. Salt of the Earth!

Yes. Marion was the chef/supervisor at Central. I recall her showing her world champion wood chopping trophy. She was such an amazing, extremely hard working, kind woman. Dick B.
