He couldn?╟╓t re- tain a bite of food in the hospital where he was in an oxygen tent for treatment of a dust infection in his lungs. Then a nun fed him a piece ot hot, buttered bread. Freeman livsd on bread for five days saying, with the emotion of a man freed from great hunger, ?╟úThis is truly angel bread;?╟Ñ That?╟╓s the start, but far from the finish of the story of Atfgel- bread.

The nuns couldn?╟╓t sell, the bread, but Freeman, Tike many another pa tient, always left a generous dona tion. He' found that the nun who baked the bread was named Sister Angelita. ?╟úAn angel)in the kitchen both by name and occupation,?╟╓ said Freeman. * The sister?╟╓s recipe had been in i her family for nearly 100 years in her native Germany.

He missed the bread when he got home and often came back to the hospital to get a loaf The nuns couldn?╟╓t sell the bread, not being in that business, but Freeman, like many another pa V man learned this, it gave him an idea. He was a member of a commit- tee trying to raise money for a much-needed addition to Rose de Lima, the only accredited hospital in southern Nevada. Freeman?╟╓s idea was to market the angel bread with a royalty on each loaf for the hospital. A few months passed, during which Freeman personally sent hundreds of, loaves all over the country for testing. People agreed that Sister Angelita?╟╓s bread had something special. A machine was devised to?╟  mix: huge quantities of dough almost as the 1 nun mixed her daily 30 loaves by hand. took some > financing to get into production and Jewish friends of Freeman-prpviddd it. The? first 700 test loaves cost nearly $200 each. But Freeman knew he had started something when, during the first week the bread was on sale in Las Vegas, 5,000 loaves were snapped up. At three cents a loqf royaltythat meant $150, for Rose de Lima. The full goal is 1 millions of loaves away: the hospital?╟╓s addi- tion will cost nearly half a million dollars. Freeman is making con- tracts with bakeries in most large cities. They1 can have the recipe, the secret of the mixing and the trade name for one simple thing: an |agreement to pay three . cents, a loaf royalty to the Angelbread Foundation.
