RE: [GWL]: The Old Rodale Press

Nan,
It changed my life as well.  I give full credit to that book for getting me
interested in gardening and homesteading.  Some years later I had a chance
to visit the Olkowskis and Sheila Daar at BIRC in Berkeley.  Later I had
Sheila on the Today Show with me around the beneficial insect topic.  But
that house was special; you must have loved it.  I modeled my own home on it
when I wrote Self Sufficient Suburban Garden, my first book for Rodale.  At
that time there were at least 12 or more integral house projects around the
country and I visited ten of them; great fun to see all the different
approaches to self sufficiency; then the gas prices went down.

You make me smile, Jeff.  I managed the vegetable garden and all the
animals at the Integral Urban House for a time in the mid 197s.  It
was a fabulous facility and a fabulous education.  Changed my life.

Thanks for the memory  : }
