  3. Haven't looked...been running in and out of the house.
  4. Dave Thomas per Wiki.... In the mid-1950s, Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Col. Harland Sanders came to Fort Wayne to find restaurateurs with established businesses in order to try to sell KFC franchises to them. At first, Thomas, who was the head cook at a restaurant, and the Clauss family declined Sanders's offer, but Sanders persisted, and the Clauss family franchised their restaurant with KFC and later also owned many other KFC franchises in the Midwest. During this time, Thomas worked with Sanders on many projects to make KFC more profitable and to give it brand recognition. Among other things Thomas suggested to Sanders, that were implemented, was that KFC reduce the number of items on the menu and focus on a signature dish. Thomas also suggested Sanders make commercials in which he would appear. Thomas was sent by the Clauss family in the mid-1960s to help turn around four failing KFC stores they owned in Columbus, Ohio.[11] By 1968 Thomas had increased sales in the four fried chicken restaurants so much that he sold his share in them back to Sanders for more than $1.5 million.[12] This experience would prove invaluable to Thomas when he began Wendy's about a year later.
  5. Yeah he did! We talked about this year ago on the site. IIRC, the Colonel propositioned Dave in Fort Wayne about turning some KFC franchises around in Columbus, Ohio. Dave did, with marketing ideas along the way, and part of his pay was stake in those particular KFC franchises. Dave ended up selling his "stock" and started Wendy's. There is a documentary on his life as well that is interesting. But it is ironic that 2 moguls of fast food shared a history together.
  6. Actually, Colonel Sanders was born in Henryville, Indiana. And the Colonel is the one that gave Dave Thomas(Wendy's) his start out of Fort Wayne.
  7. No, it is not common for a sprinter. The height more so than the weight for one that is physically fit. All I said was that I wasn't impressed with the times. Just me.
  8. If you say so, but not in my day. And I am a former sectional champion in 100 and 200.
  9. In 2014 Snider played Penn and Elkhart Central.
  10. Sorry, just not impressive to me. Now 11 flat and sub 23 would be.
  11. The Refs should fire Dumb Bell...
  12. Not in my book for a 100 meters.
  13. I might put him 6th.. I put Yogi ahead of him as well.
  14. 4th? Ruth, Gehrig, Dimaggio, Mantle...
  15. FW South at FW Snider has been cancelled. South has too many players in quarantine. Snider looking for another opponent.
