John Ratzenberger’s Made in America

Allen January 17th, 2004

I’ll admit it. I’m a manufacturing geek. I think it is kind of cool to transform material from one form into another.

Of course, as a software developer, I transform problems into solutions. A good manufacturer transforms a need into satisfaction.

So I really enjoyed a recent episode of John Ratzenberger’s Made in America.

He travels around the US and takes tours of manfuacturing plants.

On a family vacation in 1999 was a jaunt through Colorado. While in Boulder, we stopped at Celestial Seasonings and took a tour of the plant.

I look forward to the rest of the series. As expected, the series concentrates on consumer goods. Not too many visits to spring shops or industrial ball bearings plants!

    John Ratzenberger can NOT be contacted by email- you may go to DISCOVERY.COM and sign up to join their forum, and POST a message on the TRAVEL CHANNEL forum from there, maybe, just maybe, they might look, but only if “they” are bored…
    BTW, there have been no new Made in America shows for awhile- a sign John is tired or busy….
    You have a better chance at meeting him in Cheers Pub in Boston than getting his address ! LOL…
