Cindy Rustad poses in a fraternity house with a lunchtime meal on the table at the University of Idaho for this David Johnson photo published in the April 5, 1991, Lewiston Tribune. Rustad, of Genesee, was featured in Johnson’s accompanying Everyone Has a Story column which described the fraternity members arriving at the house for lunch prepared by Rustad, who had been the house cook for almost two years. Rustad said, “It’s the best job. They (the 20 fraternity brothers) are easy to please and easy to get along with.” One young man announced cookies was his favorite dish prepared by Cindy while she was baking chocolate chip cookies. “They’ll last until tomorrow afternoon,” she said about the approximately 30 dozen cookies she planned to bake.
