Ed note: I was surprised today to get two inquires via this blog about purchasing the Skyline Legacy Cookbook–from people who’d read about it in the Wall Street Journal. Congratulations to Joan Conlon and all the contributors to the legacy cookbook! Click here for the full article.
From the WSJ: A cookbook “seemed to be the perfect captivity project,” says Joan Catoni Conlon, an 81-year-old retired music professor. She and a few other women at the Skyline retirement community in Seattle collected recipes from residents for its Skyline Legacy Cookbook, which raised $9,000 with proceeds going to local soup kitchens. She and other contributors wanted to preserve cherished recipes, including the orange-flavored pancake recipe from a 99-year-old woman who has been making them for 80 years and the Ukrainian Christmas Honey cake recipe one woman’s father typed in Russian script and gave to her when she got married. “These are more than mere foods,” Ms. Conlon says.
Way to go Skyliners!
I love collecting vintage recipes. Do you have more copies of your cookbook? Do you plan another printing? Would you ship it to me? I live in Connecticut.
Thanks for your inquiry. Yes, a few copies are available. One of our residents will connect with you soon.
Best regards, Jim

Hello! My name is Jean Pagaduan, and I am a student assistant at the University of California – Davis Library Archives and Special Collections. Our library is currently interested in acquiring pandemic/COVID-19-related cookbooks for our archives. We are interested in obtaining a copy of Skyline Legacy Cookbook for our collections. Are copies of this cookbook still available? Thank you!
Thank you. I hope one is still available. I’ll pass this on to the resident in charge and they will be in contact with you.
