text: When I was a teenager (back in the early 80's) I worked at all 3 of the Fat Smitty restaurants. Gary and Claudia & Ed and Mickey always treated me like family. I lived in their homes, spent holidays with them, and every Sunday we would all load up and head to P.A. Speedway to race the home made race cars. My lifestyle was teetering on a dangerous edge at that time and the 4 people I named above loved me as if I were one of them and made sure I followed the path of a loving family. They are Hero's, not just now, but always. I can't wait till February to get my Fat Smitty Burger!!!,
