Wonderful! A well-rounded life. Not a single-minded maniacal tycoon, but a man with vison, confidence, talent and a heart. He had it all, finncial success and LOVE.

If anyone still has the e-mail address of the cartoonist for the Arizona Republic that did the tasteless cartoon, they should forward this.

I read this and cannot imagine why so many Americans prefer to idolize Hollywood celebrities whose lives and work express nothing but contempt for children and families. Yet such people, and not Dave Thomas, are clearly the heroes for many of us, perhaps most of us unfortunate enough to live in the Blue Zone.

Dave Thomas also learned the art of service in Knoxville, Tennessee, at a restaurant called "Regis". I watched him talk about how he learned service from those folks that ran that restaurant. I remember inspecting beef that was going to Wendy's in Knoxville and thinking to myself, McDonalds would never do this in selecting decent hamburger beef.
