Al Templeton’s father (unnamed)

Wanted one ever since my dad took me to the Chat ’N Chew in Bloomington, back when I was a kid. Bought it fully outfitted and opened up on Pine Street. I was at that location for almost a year, and I saw that if I stayed, I’d be bankrupt in another year.

Al’s father took him to a diner in Bloomington during childhood. Al says both his parents smoked and lived into their eighties.
