Favorite personal appearance on television:

Sunday December 8, 1996, 10 pm, Channel 9, Oklahoma City. I explained why I and many people in my neighborhood objected to a proposed 150 foot high cross next to the interstate 1/2 mile away, intended to be brightly lit at night -- the area is zoned with a max of 35 foot structures or signs. Zoning protects our property values. If the church can put up a tall sign so too can Conoco put up a tall sign, which will show over the very low hill that separates our neighborhood from the Interstate.

Favorite phone answering machine message:

"Mr. Hamm, are you an atheist? Why do you not want the cross in Edmond? You know I think you need to read back in the newspaper. I think that if you are an atheist you need to move the hell out of this country. Thank you, communist."

Read a poem entitled Cross Cultures in honor of Howard Stein, PhD, on the occasion of his 20 years of service to the Department of Family and Community Medicine and Dentistry.
