A Very Cranberry Thanksgiving to You!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Our house was once the home of Arthur Flemming, president of Ohio Wesleyan University the early 50's. Flemming later served as the U.S. Secretary of Health under President Eisenhower. He is chiefly remembered for is tanking the cranberry harvest of 1959 by announcing, two and a half weeks before Thanksgiving, that the cranberry crop was potentially tainted by aminotriazole, and recommending that consumers should hold off on buying berries if they didn't know the source.

So, from our house to yours, happy Thanksgiving, and merry cranberry sauce!
