The Colonel

I was a teenager, we were visiting my grandparents. We decided to visit the Chicago Wax Museum one day. As we walked to the door, Colonel Sanders, the real Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame got out of a limo.

Grandma asked for his autograph and he handed us preprinted cards. He was in his late 70's or early 80's then and the cards were easier for him. Unbeknownst to us, the wax museum was featuring a life sized display of Colonel Sanders, which was why the real Colonel was there. Somewhere in my families photos is a glossy of Colonel Sanders looking at Colonel Sanders.
