Good Chemistry: A Love Story

By James Huff

How many husbands would be willing to play the supporting role in a business they ran with their wife while she led the way? It is rare for married couples start a business together, and rarer still for them to run that business together while remaining deeply in love. But what makes this story extraordinary is the truly unique partnership between Linda Patton Huff, President of Huff & Huff, Inc. and James Huff, Vice-President of Huff & Huff, Inc.Linda Patton grew up in the 1950s and 1960s in Columbus, Ohio, with a childhood that ranged from shoveling coal into the furnace box to excelling in school. Jim Huff grew up in the same time in Chicago, Illinois, playing ball in the neighborhood and getting into mischief with his brothers. In 1966, they each enrolled at Purdue University with the intention of becoming chemical engineers. This story explores Linda's struggles to overcome the discrimination found in a male-dominated profession, but it is more than that. During finals weeks of her sophomore year, Linda went on a date with her future husband (and the author). This book is also the love story that unfolded for the next 46 years as they built a life and a company together. It takes one on an amazing journey, full of their humorous and engaging adventures that span the decades-growing up, college life, romance, careers, children, and starting and running their own engineering consulting firm for 35 years. More profoundly, it's a memoir that helps reveal the essence of a successful marriage.
