>From Carol H (and congrats on the anniversary, Carol!):   
   I received this recipe from a college friend's mother in 1970  when I was a   
   student at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.  She called it Quick Lunchbox   
   Cake.  In 1970, I graduated from college and married the man I will celebrate   
   45 yrs.  of marriage with on July 2.  We live in Lakeland, Florida--Carol H   
      
   Quick Lunchbox Cake   
   2 1/4 C. flour   
   2 tsp. soda   
   1 tsp. salt   
   1 C firmly packed brown sugar   
   2 eggs   
   1/4 C. soft butter   
   1 pound can fruit cocktail, undrained 1/2 C. semi-sweet chocolate pieces   
   1/2 C. chopped nuts   
      
   Grease and flour (today we would use Pam) bottom of 13 x 9 inch pan. Combine   
   all ingredients except fruit cocktail, chocolate pieces and nuts in a large   
   mixer bowl.  Blend well at lowest speed; beat 2 min.  at medium speed.  Stir   
   in fruitcocktail.  Pour batter into pan.  Sprinkle with chocolate pieces and
