Deborah J Dawkins says
According to my late father, my grandfather, ‘Ned’ Edward R Dawkins, had the food concession at the ballpark. The day before games he would send my father for three lemons, a bag of sugar and 10¢ of citric acid. This was mixed in a ten gallon stoneware crock with the very thinly sliced lemons floating on top. Lemonade served by the cup (“Boy, don’t you dip up any of those lemons.”) over ice chipped from a large block, elicited praise. My God, Ned! You sure do put lemons in your lemonade. Makes the mouth pucker right up!”the
