Life Member Ralph Ketner, founder of Food Lion, featured in Post



Brother Ralph Ketner, member since the middle 50's, was recently featured in the local paper. This original story was printed in the Discover magazine of Ralph's Alma mater Tri-State University in Angola, IN. They wrote a nice story detailing Ralph and his partner's rise to prominence with the Food Lion grocery store chain.
Below is a picture of Ralph's first store. Wilson Smith is to the left of Ralph. To see the original article go to http://www.tristate.edu/discover_07/lions_share.cfm
To see more on Ralph's amazing career and the tremendous number of business and civic achievements he has made, just go to www.SalisburyPost.com and search the archives.
On rare occasions, Ralph still comes to the Lodge especially if a friendly game of chance is invovled.
