RE:Can you imagine ? Have you heard of J.R. Simplot?
He grew pototoes in Boise Idaho.
He invented frozen french fries.
In 1967 he made a deal on a handshake with Ray Kroc to supply all McDonalds with frozen fench fries.
Prior to that they were cutting them at each location.
Mcdonalds grew so fast that in the end he could only supply half of the fries for the food chain.
Then, after retiring in the early eighties, Simplot further enhanced his wealth by providing the startup capital for a fledgling company called Micron Technologies
He passed away in 2008.
