Reply #119: I met Harlan Sanders when I was 16.

That was about 40 years ago. My father was working for the ad agency, Nobel-Drury, in Nashville, that handled the account. He was an old man and he fell asleep in my dad's friend's living room, in a rocking chair. They took his picture and used it on a "Christmas with Colonel Sanders" album cover. I asked him what the secret recipe was and he laughed. He had worked hard, traveling around in a station wagon, town to town, with a pressure cooker, making chicken using locally raised fowl. He was a nice old guy and I liked him. I ate lots of his chicken in my life, but NO MORE. He would spit on KFC as it is today.
