African-American business community leader, former Parks
Sausage CEO
Haysbert dies at 90
BALTIMORE (AP) -- Raymond V. Haysbert Sr., whose Parks Sausage
Co.
became the first black-owned business in the U.S. to go public in
1969,
has died at age 90.
He died Monday at Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore after
suffering
from congestive heart failure, his son Brian Haysbert said
Tuesday.
Born in poverty, Haysbert later became a World War II fighter
pilot
and
member of the famed Tuskegee Airmen, serving in Africa and Italy
before
settling in Baltimore. There, he joined the company started by
Henry
Parks that became well known throughout the Northeast by
advertisements
featuring a hungry boy asking, "More Parks Sausages, Mom,
please!"
Wow...a black guy gets out of the military and is a man of
significant
accomplishment...and our three white righties who were in the
military....flajim, herring, and bertbrain...are men of no
accomplishment.
What a man he was. So what's your story douchebag? Are you
saying that
if you had only gone into the military, you too could have
achieved
greatness? The men of Krause. Cowards all.
Wow, Harry posts a story about a man who wasn't a coward.
Right John. I think there's something to be learned by Harry
telling the
story about a great man.
You don't hear stories about cowards that have done great things, do
you?
Is that why you won't talk about what you did in the navy? You were a
coward? Figures.
You're getting as lame as plume. Pity; you were much sharper in
years gone
by.
You're just a lame-brain.
Once again, trying to drag him down to your level, D'Plume? I take it
you find it easier to have a conversation with those of superiour
intellect when you take them to your non-average level.
No, you and he are just idiots.
Because we don't aprove of the manure you are spreading. Your opinions
are of no consequence here or anywhere. You are just an undersexed nymph
of the Kalifonia woods looking for a soapbox. I could pity you if you
weren't such an ass.
