  14. dying, I would want the coffee cake served in the junior and senior high
  15. schools in Los Angeles as my last meal. Do you, by chance, have the

  18. the Los Angeles Unified School District archives. As a matter of record,
  19. the sour cream coffee cake has been served in city school cafeterias since
  20. 1959."
