JUST A LI'NE MORE
(From Page 1)
ed me recently that her late hus-
band, Gene Thompson, was the
one who moved the Let's Eat
Care into the building where
Riley's Steak House is located
today.
We had given a little history
of Rich Grimm's Let's Eat Care,
and mentioned it was moved in-
to the former Sherrod Furniture
and Undertaking building.
Mattie Lee said she and her
sister ran the Let's Eat Care in
the long, narrow room two
doors south of Riley's. Then
Gone decided it needed to be in
a larger building, so he went to
talk to Mrs. Sherrod, who said
she would rent it, but only
because it was Gene who asked
her. She had turned numerous
other people down. Gene also
bought the equipment of the old
White Way or White Castle care
where the Perkins Body Shop is
located today, and moved it in-
to the new care.
When we came here in 1954,
Gordon Hughes and his wife
had just bought the care from
Mrs. Whipple. Following that, ff
our memory serves us right, the
local restaurant has been own-
ed by Lawrence and Rosalyn
Baker, who sold it to Rich and
Rosa Grimm, who sold it to
Arlis Riley. Arias and Linda
have probably been there longer
than anyone.

We latched onto Rosalyn
B aker's apron strings when she
and Lawrence were running the
care, which I think at that time
was called the Elite Care.
My brother Frank and I were
bitching. He was the band
director at Perkins schools, and
I was the editor of The ]our-
nil. Generally we'd end up at
meal time at the care, and learn-
ed quickly that Rosalyn was
one of the better cooks in this
area. But, like all routine, we'd
get tired of the same old thing.
You've heard this before I'm
sure, especially from the teen-
agers, "Isn't there something
different to eat?" {You want to
remember there wasn't any Mc-
Donald's, Hardee's or Burger
King's at that time.} In the
evenings when there wasn't
much stirring around town,
Rosalynn was willing to prepare
about anything we wanted as
10ng as she had the fixings in
the kitchen. I especially remem-
ber those cold winter evenings
we'd put away a half
