Tuna Salad (For 150)

My Grandmother used to do a LOT of cooking for large crowds. She worked at a campground and also planned meals at a large church. I have her handwritten cookbook with several of those recipes. Some of them seem like they would be pretty dang good and while I do like tuna salad, I imagined what it would be like to make it for 150 people. It smells bad and has a terrible texture. At least it does in my brain. The recipe is exactly as it was written in the book, including random capitalization and all. Notes added by me will be marked with *

Tuna *unspecified amount
3 dozen eggs (hard boiled)
Pickle Relish *unspecified amount
3 med. Stalks of celery (sliced Thin)
Mayonnaise *unspecified amount
Salt & Pepper

Served 125 had about 25 servings over.

Here's your recipe for tuna salad for 150 people, you know, should you ever find yourself in a situation where you might actually NEED eighteen gallons of tuna salad. (That was a joke, folks, I'm not sure exactly how much this would make, seeing how my awesome Grandmother cooked from memory. She was one of those "a dash of this and a pinch of that" types.)
