Prizewinner Kathie Gill of St. Joseph, Michigan, writes, �The Big Potato is a pleasant reminder of my courtship with my husband, Jeff.� Before they were married, Kathie dated a friend of Jeff�s who brought him to dinner one night. Kathie gave Jeff, rather than her boyfriend, the largest potato. The next day she wondered �Why?� Four months later, Jeff and Kathie were married.
