Lou Groen
Louis M. "Lou" Groen (August 8, 1917 – May 30, 2011) was an entrepreneur, and businessman of Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was born and raised, and also a lifelong resident. Groen invented the Filet-O-Fish sandwich in 1962. He invented the sandwich at his floundering McDonald's restaurant to satisfy his customers. At the time, most of his customers were Roman Catholic, who had to abstain from eating meat on Friday. The Filet-O-Fish, served with cheese and tartar sauce, is now served at McDonald's restaurants throughout the world.

Like Rain
by: Charlie LandsboroughGive me some paper and a pen
And I will write you
The starry art of
Broken heart
Of golden dreams that fell apart
Behind the wall where sorrows fall
Like Rain
Give me some music and the moon
And I will sing
A ocean full of fallen stars
A landscape letter with this scar
Of cruel lies
Where on earth tried
Like Rain
I'm fallen and you know why
Cause like the sky you have me
And love me so
Then let me go
Like Rain
Build me a stairway to the past
And I will take you
Beyond the reasons to forget
Into dimensions of regret
Where memories sleep
And gently weeps
Like Rain
I'm fallen and you know why
Cause like the sky you have me
And love me so
Then let me go
Like Rain
