BRYAN EATON/Staff photo. Aidan Gardner, 10, of Horseheads, N.Y. and visiting with cousins in Amesbury this weekend, was one of several writing letters to Amesbury's Jonathan Kukene and his army unit in Afghanistan. He was at Cider Hill Farm's National Donut Day which was established by the Salvation Army in 1938 to honor the "dough lassies," female volunteers who made donuts for soldiers serving overseas. The farm is sending their cider donuts to Kukene and his comrades along with the letters.
