zest and sugar to a large pan and set over medium heat until berries break-down slightly and liquid is syrupy, 12 to 15 minutes. *Pour into a blender and process, be careful of the hot liquid expanding when you blend - use a towel over the top of the blender.Strain and discard any solids then set aside and cool.Pour 2 tablespoons of cranberry-orange syrup into the bottoms of 4 chilled champagne glasses. Add a few cranberries to each glass and gently top off each glass with Champagne.*When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

VIETNAM MAILBAGPRESENTATION AT THE COURT HOUSE
Journalist Nancy E. Lynch, author of the award-winning social history, Vietnam Mailbag, Voices From the War: 1968-1972, and Vietnam veteran Rick Lovekin join forces for a multi-media program at
7 pm Nov. 28th
at theNew Castle Court House Museum. Nancy Lynch will read selected correspondence from servicemen featured
in her book, based on the nearly 1,000 letters and hundreds of pictures her popular newspaper column,
Nancy’s Vietnam Mailbag.
In her final column in December 1972 she promised “her guys” she would some day put all their war letters and pictures in a book to honor them. Her 456-page social history won the gold medal from Independent Publisher in 2009 for Best Non-Fiction in the Mid-Atlantic states.
Rick Lovekin spent a year in combat as a door gunner on a Huey helicopter and later as crew chief on a Cobra chopper. He was based in Bien Hoa and Vung Tau with the 147th Helicopter Company.
He wrote frequently to Lynch during his 1969-1970 tour, always signing his letters, “Your Man in Nam.” He will share some of his combat experiences as well as slides of images from Vietnam enhanced with 1960s music.
The program is free and open to the public but reservations are requested due to limited seating. For more information call 302-323-4453
or email [email protected]
