RECIPE FOR LOVE Dr. Mary Alford used more than 1,500 of her family’s recipe cards to decorate an entire wall of a room off the entry of the home she shares with Dr. Gene Alford. Here, Mary and Gene enjoy slices of their favorite pound cake in front of her recipe wall. The pair have been married for 40 years and cooking and baking is one of the ways Mary shows love.
