                       SUMMARY OF TALK
He went into the Baking business in 1975 and started selling frozen Yogurt
in 1973. He needed a machine so bought an ice cream machine.  The store's
name was "Say Cheese."  It was a lot of fun but a lot of work. 95% of
customers were young girls. Yogurt was first served on plates then cones.
The popular flavors were Vanilla and Pina Colada. Yogurt was first eaten
by the Arabs. It is made from fermented milk. Then he went back to Wall
Street.

TEXT is by Elinor with helper, Sy

The seniors will be arriving at The Briar's restaurant early so get there
early to help. Otherwise, we meet at the restaurant for lunch. Elinor is a
mother, so she will be there in her wheelchair.
