I had not seen that Mrs. Rodale had passed away. I always felt a bit of a tie to them, because of the many civic related things the family did in the Lehigh Valley (I don't know if they are all still there...JI Rodale Theater, their support of the Trexlertown Velodrome, now renamed Lehigh Valley Velodrome, etc.) The one thing that you didn't say in your short history of the family is that much of the original money came from Rodale Electric, a manufacturer of electric hardware. I was studying at Lehigh University when Mr. Rodale passed away. In light of recent conclusions that chemical fertilizers increase yield, but decrease nutritional density of food, I'm becoming more of a believer in organic foods. It certainly looks like the Rodales were far ahead of the curve in regard to the wisdom of organics. Wayne Parker,

FYI...my son, her grandson, ran the NYC marathon and qualified for Boston. He'll be there in 2010 and so we are continuing our legacy and involvement in the world of running. Keep up the good work on your website! Best, Heidi Hi Parker,
