Theresa's Zucchini Bread

By Hklbrries

Theresa (Harrison) is my (Cheryl Costigan's) friend who lives in Red Deer, Alberta. I met her and her (since deceased) husband Earl Harrison in Dawson City, Yukon Territory while I was enroute from Anchorage, Alaska to Southeast Alaska with Russ Galdes, Jan Costigan and Linda Wataoka. I believe we were taking my Mom (Jan Costigan) to the ferry terminal. Anyway, this is Terry's zucchini bread recipe.
