Many years ago, the Pundit’s uncle, Sydney Prevor, who ran the family’s business interests in Puerto Rico, had an idea: He wanted to have a store that would sell rotisserie chicken. The Pundit’s grandfather, Harry Prevor, thought it was a great idea, except he thought it would be a good idea to sell some milk, bread and eggs in the store so that consumers could come in regularly for these staples. And as the consumers would be coming in anyway, why not also stock fruits and vegetables and paper goods, aluminum foil and some frozen foods. By the time the Pundit Grandpa was done, what was supposed to be a chicken store was a little superette with a rotisserie.
And so the Pundit’s uncle has been haunted his whole life by a question: had not his father interfered, would it have been Colonel Prevor rather than Colonel Sanders that everyone came to know?
