KFC employee Marylou Ausborne describes the fast-food chain's founder, Harland Sanders, as "a wonderful man" who "never drank, never smoked" and was "just great." Ausborne, 80, remembers Sanders, famously known as "The Colonel," who would have turned 124 this year, because she herself has worked at a KFC restaurant in Michigan for 52 years.

"I went to school in Kentucky for Kentucky Fried Chicken," Ausborne told WJBK-TV in Detroit "I like being here. I like the people. I like the customers and it's a very good job." As one of the franchise's longest-serving employees, Ausborne even has a photo with Sanders, who died in 1980.

Obviously she is making more than minimum wage. Otherwise the mainstream journ-o-list who wrote this piece would have been all over that like stink on a monkey.

“52 years of loyal service, and the only raises she received were when HER GOVERNMENT raised her minimum wage”.

I think Thomas was also a good guy. He invested with our former governor in an internet textbook scheme, I think he got nailed for a mill. Might have been too nice for his own good. Wilkerson was the ex-governor at the time and from all I have heard you wouldn’t want to swap nickels with him.

If you go to the video, you have the condescending newsbabe repeatedly going "Oh wow" and "wonder if she knew the Founding Fathers" which I thought was rather lame.

Hilarious! Young people today are so out of touch with even recent history. Recently spoke with one young man in his twenties who thought WWII was in the 1860s.

I joke that if you’re watching a WWII movie with a bunch of young people, you’ll spoil the ending by telling them that we won.
