Bob Evans

Later today, I plan to have a slightly long post about the passing of Gallipolis, Ohio, restauranteur Bob Evans. Bob was an amazing character. I had a lengthy interview with him about 20 years when he was kicked out of his own company by an age requirement. It was almost as though his relatives in management couldn't get rid of him fast enough.

I learned a lot talking to Bob and reading about him. His views on wildlife influenced my thinking on urban affairs in cities the size of Huntington.

Anyway, after I get some weekend editorial pages out of the way and attend my final parent-counselor conference of the 06-07 school year, I plan to write something, including lengthy excerpts of that article from 20 years ago.
