Creamed Squash

The recipe was an absolute wonderful find from SP's family. I am thinking this recipe came from Trudy, and we ate it at Great Uncle Julius's 95th birthday party. I had raved about it when eating it, and a few months later, Trudy brought this recipe to Barby so I could have it. It is wonderful!
