Welcome to the Geezer Cookbook
on-line.
Whether you are just visiting,
here to gather great Dutch-oven cooking recipes or just surfing the net, I would
like to extend a warm Geezer welcome to everyone!
You may be asking yourself, what
is a Geezer? Well thoughts of older
folks, sitting around a porch and telling stories of yesteryear comes to my
mind, so if you have a moment, Ill spin
a little tale of the Medicine Man and the Geezer's Cookbook.
Dwayne Pritchett (aka by his OA
vigil name, the 'Medicine Man'), was a father, a Scoutmaster, a husband and a
man who loved spicy foods and Dutch oven cooking among other things in
life. This passion led him to compile a
collection of his favorite recipes on bits of paper, 3x5 cards, napkins and
such. Over his Scouting years, whenever
he would go on a camporee, summer camp, conclave or Scouting event he was
always on the prowl for good Dutch oven and great spicy recipes. So in Dwayne's eyes, a 'Geezer' was anyone that shared a penchant
for spicy cooking, one who truly loved the hot stuff, whooo-eeee!!
Now as Dwayne sought to put the
accumulated recipes into a format that others could enjoy, he found an electronic
medium to put them into and once he found this, his next quest was sharing these 350+ recipes with his fellow Scouts
& Scouters, so that they might enjoy and share his love of spicy cooking.
I first met up with Dwayne on the
Scout board on Prodigy in 1993. I had
been posting some items under the heading "the final word", that were
short items, inspirational in tone.
Dwayne, enjoyed these and immediately started up his own thread of
longer inspirational messages, stories and Scoutmasters minutes under the
heading of "the Medicine Man's minute" everyone on the BSA board on Prodigy loved these and he continued
to post these as time went on.
Dwayne began to offer his
compilation of recipes, to the Scouting fraternity, all he asked in return for
his effort was a council shoulder patch to keep track of all the different
councils he was communicating with. The
news spread far and wide and Dwayne was kept busy, posting his 'minutes' and
shipping discs with his Geezer Cookbook on them to Scouters around the country.
In April of 1995, Dwaynes' family
posted a note on the BSA board on Prodigy, that Dwayne had been diagnosed with
a tumor on his esophagus and would be off-line for a time, due to chemo-therapy
treatments he would be taking, to try and rid him of the cancer. In august of 1995, I was informed that
Dwayne had passed away due to the cancer. His death came as a shock to all of
us.
As I never had a chance to say a
proper good-bye to Dwayne and to thank him for his Cyber-friendship, I resolved
myself to continue to spread his recipes in the spirit of the medicine man.
This on-line compilation, is the result of that resolution. From the Medicine Man to you, in the Spirit
of Friendship please enjoy this effort.
Here's to you Medicine Man!
