I'm either of the wrong generation or wrong geography because even with the satisfaction of the identities of the company and the doctor, I don't recognize them. :) <br><br>I'm not an agrarian in the anti-industrialism sense, but I certainly espouse stewardship and personally enjoy producing my own (enter item here) as much as possible.<br><br>By the way, the bread is incredible!

I m...Thanks for sharing such an interesting story! <br> I met Dr. Hammer twenty some odd years ago when I worked at an Arabian horse ranch in California. He owned a big Russian stallion named Tex that he was keeping at the ranch to breed. What an animal! (the horse not the doctor). I said hey to Dr. Hammer early one morning when he visited Tex, and he wished me a good morning with a great big smile. Though I knew he was Dr. Hammer, I didn't know WHO Dr. Hammer was until years later. Wow! I always admired a man who bid a lowly groom with manure on her boots such a cheerful good morning and then went on to run the world!<br> ...and I think your choice for a farm life is admirable. I don't know a single ranch hand that I worked with back then who envied the lifestyles of the rich and famous. We saw the underbelly of that life, and it is anything but desirable.<br> I wasn't a Christian then, but I loved living and working on a ranch and nothing about what I loved involved money. I guess your blog is a vicarious trip back to that life...thanks! :)Julianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994967819405801133.post-66516698505306308902007-03-23T14:22:26.000-04:002007-03-23T14:22:26.000-04:00I don't remember much about the man, but my fi...I don't remember much about the man, but my first reaction when you mentioned his name was "baking soda."

It was in the late 70's and without going back to check records..I believe it was for several years. Most of the time it was very routine but we did have those days :) Did the name Hooker Chemical ring any bells for you since you are from New York?TNfarmgirlhttp://www.sweethollowfarm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994967819405801133.post-32757886098521050042007-03-23T23:25:23.000-04:002007-03-23T23:25:23.000-04:00Julia,What a neat story!

Glad the story brought back enjoyable memories!<br><br>Lynn,<br>Dr. Hammer always thought it funny with the baking soda thing....he actually tried to buy that company once! I think at the time I didn't care about politics, world affairs etc. I was in my early 20's and although I read a lot...I rarely read the newspaper!
