GLW, few people know it but my good friend the late Dick Ervay originally owned Kentucky Fried Chicken back in the 60's. He had a little store front down by what is now Walgreens on Madison Avenue.
Sometime later he sold the business to Mr. Leonard Yelton a man my brother worked with at the mill. Yelton moved the store to the Plaza Shopping Mall on Nameoki accross from the Ridgedale Confectionary and KP. Then Mr. Yelton took his business out to the current location on Johnson. I just learned recently that Mr. Yelton passed away as did Ervay a couple of years ago. Or course prior to his retirement and passing Dick owned the Dog N Suds on Pontoon and later Ervay's restaurant. We used to cruize the lot of Dog N Suds in my younger years.
Dick Ervay and Leonard Yelton, Ttwo guys who took the chance to make a go of a business and did well with it.
