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. |
