Sanders Fri, 20 Apr 2012 13:54:40 +0000 http://www.joybaker.com/?p=382#comment-1575 There was a story many years ago about someone who was shipping orange juice from Florida to the Northeast in his own small tanker ship. Quite an innovative and inexpensive method of transportation. I think the ship docked in College Point, Queens, New York City at which point the juice was bottled for distribution to grocery stores. All went well until one year when Florida orange juice was not all sweet. The story continues that the Florida agricultural authorities were very strict about never allowing sugar to be added to orange juice for fear that the good name of Florida orange juice would be damaged. The owner of the company decided nevertheless to sweeten the juice with sugar. One night he tried to do that. The night watchman, who didn't know him, caught him. The result was a scandal. Is there any truth to this story? If so, what was the outcome? There was a story many years ago about someone who was shipping orange juice from Florida to the Northeast in his own small tanker ship.

I actually live in Minneapolis but my parents live on Longboat Key and also have a summer house on Northshore Drive. I spend as much time as I can at these two great places. I’ll be watching for details about your talk next March, I know it will be fascinating.
