Bob Wian

Robert C. "Bob" Wian (June 15, 1914 – March 31, 1992) was the founder of the Big Boy restaurant chain. The restaurant got its start in a 10-stool Glendale, California, hamburger stand in 1936 with an investment of $350 which Wian got from the sale of a used car. He sold the Big Boy chain to the Marriott Corp. in 1967 for $7,000,000. Wian died in Newport Beach, California, and was survived by his wife, June, and two sons, Chapman Baehler and Casey Wian, two daughters, Barbara Baehler and Julie Wian, and sisters Doris Weis and Katherine Kurvink.

PLAYLIST TIME:

Bobby Baun

by: Good Riddance

When every single things Ive grown to love
Is tied up in this moment
Like a dream from which I pray I'll never wake
Who can wash away these tears
When all I've ever wanted
Is still written on her face
But the wind keeps whipping
And the time keeps ticking away
And it feels like Im not closer
With these miles caught in the way
Can anything be salvaged from this wreck?
With forever lying in peices
And her name tacked on my neck
Still caught up in what I wouldnt give
So stubborn and withdrawn
Exposed as though I'd never had a choice
Will things ever be the way they were
Blue skies and Open hearts
Talking up till dawn and reading Joyce
But now its clear
That theres nothing left to retrieve
And precious little that I can believe in
And I was just too blind to see it
So whats it all for?
When the lies mean so much more
Much more than reality
And whats the use of keeping score
