Golden lemons from the golden tree: Haag and Lis
... in Southern California. Many would think that a lemon is a lemon. Interestingly enough, that is not the case. And after traveling to Southern California and spending time with native Alec Lis this truth was not only discovered but also tasted. Under the Lis' tutelage, Fr. Ralph Haag, CSC, discovered that all lemons are not the same as they were added to his summer beverage of choice. What's that? Well, a gentleman doesn't tell everything. Anyway, the Meyer lemons, picked in Lis' backyard, right off the tree, provided for a most refreshing splash. On picking lemons off the tree, Haag said, "Can I get one of these trees at Steds? I'll never have to worry about scurvy again. Really."
