Southeast Missouri Hospital Auxiliary member Schirley Huey was taking My Daddy's Cheesecake orders in the hospital lobby when an anonymous donor approached her with a one hundred dollar bill. The woman said, "I don't need any cheesecakes, so send them to the troops." The Auxiliary purchased 14 cheesecakes, My Daddy's owner Kevin Stanfield matched them with another 14, and SFC Michael Halter will distribute them to the three National Guard units in Cape Girardeau, one in Jackson and the two Reserve units based here. "It will be a special treat for our holiday meal in December," Halter said.
