Meeting a link with selter history
William B. Keller, the focus of one chapter in my book, single handedly organized the fledgling bottling industry, which included seltzer bottlers, over 130 years ago. That's him in the upper left. To MY right is his great-great-granddaughter, who just HAPPENED to be meeting her early-morning biking group right outside my hotel I was attending in Berkeley for business this morning. She was invaluable a year ago when I was writing about her family and it was so exciting to get to meet living history in person.

Barry - that is a pretty good set of colliding circumstances. And there's William B. Keller, the guiding spirit of seltzer, hovering over you both.

I know! And sometimes it feels like that's how the whole book has come together.
