Sad Passing

Fred Gaye, owner of Fred's Hickory Inn in Bentonville, has passed away. Although we didn't know him personally, his restaurant has long been a favorite lunch spot of ours. Going there is always just like a visit home, and you don't have to do the dishes.

Our deepest sympathies to his family.

My parents, who are both from southern Missouri, actually met there when it was a church camp.

Really? I didn't know that used to be a church camp. That explains the layout though.

Like I said, I never knew him or his wife, but I've always heard they're the nicest people. The folks who work there are super-nice too. Doesn't matter to them if you're a construction worker or the CEO of the World's Largest Corporation....you get treated just like family. In a nice way.
