Dollars and Sense

ASK BOB Knaster about the University of Louisville's in-plant and he might tell you a story—about ham.

It goes something like this: A young girl helped her mother prepare a special family dinner. "Mommy," she asked, "why do you cut off a piece of the ham before you cook it?"

"This is how grandma taught me," her mother replied. "It's the right way to handle a ham." Later, at the table, the girl asked her grandmother the same question.
