At left, Head Cook Warren Ducote at Columbia Unit, a former mess sergent at Fort Jackson and a Louisiana Frenchman, sends a sizable spud to join his fellows in the pot. At right, Food Service director Leland E. Crenshaw holds honor award presented State Hospital in 1956 by Institutions Magazine "for superlative achievement in food service and sanitation".
