The General? Everyone who follows college hoops knows that’s Bobby Knight! Wonder what he had against the Colonel? :)

Speaking of the Colonel...my daughters, SIL and I once visited the cemetery where he is buried and had a KFC picnic right there by his grave...yeah we’re weird like that. We figured it was a fitting tribute though...only later did we find out that picnicking in the cemetery was a no-no! Ooops!

LOLOLOLOL

In the tradition of hard-hitting FR investigations, I went to the FBI Vault website to see this death threat against The Colonel for myself. Here is the link. The text of the letter says:

From: US Armed Forces
To: Colonel and Mrs. Sanders

This is to inform you that you are in grave danger of being murdered. For details go to any recruiting station and all the Los Angeles (something?) Missle Base. - The General

The envelope is addressed to Col. Sanders and Claudia Sanders, The Col.'s Lady. LOL *twirling my finger next to my head* cuckoo! cuckoo!

In the same file there is a letter from The Colonel to J. Edgar Hoover inviting him to his 80th birthday party.
