As I recall, George Stowe and Herman Dight took over the food concession at Butler Aomco. I think Bill bought the diner from Mr. Dight. I worked the midnight shift taking the food wagon to each deptartment. We also boned the hams and baked the beans for the best baked bean recipe ever! These same beans were sold at the diner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
