If you send me an e-mail with a question, I will endeavor to find an answer for you. Questions and answers which are of general interest will be published here.

Why do you like root beer?

I've always liked the flavor of root beer. My earliest remembrances of root beer are putting a coin in the slide slot soda machine at Stone's gas station in East Springfield and getting a NEHI root beer. Also, DAD'S root beer was served at the seventh and eighth dances at Amsterdam grade school. And my father worked next to a warehouse in Steubenville that distributed 7-UP and FROSTIE root beer, and would bring home a case of FROSTIE for special occasions.

Dad, can we leave now?

This is the most frequently asked question, by my daughter, when we are at flea markets.
