Anybody who has ever met him can attest to the fact that he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. If it wasn't for Pete's vision, and how much he cared for his people, I would've never learned the importance of service and humility to others. I am thankful that his years of building such a large team found the people who first hired me and took me under their wings. I know they feel the same about Pete as much/if not more, as I do.

Sander's cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic (apparently all that fried food was hard on the ol' Col's heart) and Sanders would routinely send big buckets of fried chicken over to their house, as he knew the Dr had 6 kids.

I've been to the original KFC in Corbin, Kentucky. There isn't much in Corbin, but seeing the original KFC is worth the trip. One side of the building is modern where you can actually place your order, and the other side has a display of what the restaurant looked like in the 40s. There is also pictures and other KFC paraphenalia on display. Check it out when you get a chance. Good story. I’ve been to the original KFC in Corbin, Kentucky.

Charles does look like he could be a Pete Harman love child. What is that pink thing between the Colonel's ankles? Is it the tip of his cane...or...perhaps an uncooked chicken strip?

I had no idea that it all started in Utah. I am visiting in the nearby state of Idaho and will make the trip just to see what you saw. Your descriptions are, as always, so enticing. Thanks again.

I drive to SLC every day but as soon as I found out Ogden was the old railroad, prostitution, drinking town I was all over it...We do have a Disneyland theme building (on acid) in Salt Lake. Can you guess what I'm talking about?! You are a truly delightful person. The next time you’re here, head north to Ogden (Frontierland)!
