Two Presidents Enjoy Five Guys

This story begins in 1990 when I contacted my friend and mentor Dick Jacobsen in Palo Alto. I had a very important question for him: "Dick, I need to go fly-fishing. Where should I go." His response: "Teton Valley Lodge in Driggs, Idaho."

And I did. And I became friends with Randy Berry (see photo on right), the owner and a wonderful man.

And I've been going ever since.

And now I'm a mission president in Philadelphia. Our mission office is in Broomall, PA. Directly across the street from the mission office is a small shopping center. And one of the stores is a burger joint called Five Guys.

President Obama made the news a couple nights ago when he jetted out of the White House on a secret lunch time mission to a Five Guys in his neighborhood. It's good to know that Two Presidents enjoy Five Guys!

Inside each Five Guys is a chalk board that announces where today's French Fries grew up. On my last visit the board had an amazing bit of "ain't this a small world". The fries for the day grew up in Driggs, Idaho.

And now we've stitched together another fun story.
