The founder of the Egg McMuffin, Santa Barbaran Herb Peterson, passed away Tuesday. Herb was 89 years old and owned several McDonald's franchises with his son David. CNN did a good story about him on Wednesday that I had meant to post yesterday.
I've sat with Herb a few times over the years at his Upper State Street store and discussed current events over a cup of coffee...he was a good man who gave a lot to our community and will be missed by many.
He will be missed and was truly a asset to the community, no matter how you may feel about mcdonalds you have to respect the fact he gave back and had a positive impact here.
ReplyDeleteAnd BTW Sara CNN didnt do that story it was a cut and paste from the AP like 85% of their site. Credit where credit is due after all...
And before he was a McDonalds franchisee, I enjoyed several hamburgers, etc. at Peterson's Drive-In, across from Longs on upper State Street. So he has been an institution for quite some time here - and, indeed, he will be missed.
