Am familiar with Baptist preachers of that era! My maternal grandfather was one....
By the way, I also used to know a guy who grew up in the same Pennsylvania town as John Alden Knight, who developed the tables. During summers my friend Dave made money caddying at the local golf course, and caddied for Knight a LOT.
Once day Dave got up the nerve to ask him, "Mister Knight, do your tables really work?
Knight looked at him, then asked, "How many days a week do you caddy for me?"
Dave thought, then said, "Most days."
Alden said, "Then I'd say they work...."
Wonderful story.
The guy was a genius, a couple of my buddies live by those tables, I was thinking about Ed Zern,who understood them better than anybody,and used them to conceive his children and cook pasta if I remember correctly.
I have a number of Baptist preachers in my family as well;I still feel guilty about hunting on Sunday,I do it anyways(always after church),but hope nobody sees me. Like foolin around with your wife,It's just better to keep somethings concealed from the neighbors.
They think I'm eccentric enough already and it is kind of a Baptist environment here.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
