Tell us a little bit about this family a- and the relationship between Cherry Settle, who owns these items now, and, and Colonel Sanders, the fried chicken magnate.
19:17
Cherry met the Colonel after he had sold KFC.
19:20
Uh, she was actually an employee of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
19:24
Uh, and he met her because she had the job of touring around the country, uh, going to all of the franchise owners and their employees and teaching them about hospitality, food quality, and even etiquette.
19:35
And so she was presenting at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami, where they were having their national conference, giving several presentations a day, and she looked down, and she saw the Colonel sitting in the front row for every single one of them.
19:46
He was really smitten with her and approached her afterwards, and, and they struck up a friendship.
19:51
And a couple months later, she and her fiance, Tommy, at the time, they, like many early KFC employees, had an interest in acquiring a franchise.
21:41
... that, that will attract some attention.
3:54
It's all good.
3:55
We don't have to have exact numbers.
3:56
You can Google it.
3:58
Around 1965, he sold KFC for $2 million.
4:02
Five years after that, it was sold for $285 million.
4:08
And as you can imagine, that left a very bad taste in his mouth.
4:12
It was a contractual agreement.
