One of my undergrad friends was named CEO of McDonalds.


Don Thompson was recently selected as McDonald’s Corp. CEO, effective July 1, 2012. Mr. Thompson is the first African-American to head McDonald's., the world's biggest restaurant company measured by revenue. He is also the only African-American CEO of a public company in Chicago and a new addition to the half dozen in the entire Fortune 500. Click here to read more.

clapping Congrats! It's always a good feeling when friends find success. I have several friends in very high/prominent places too, but here I am just a lowly housewife, arranging classroom snacks for the PTA... *sigh*

Now for the important questions - is he a Prince fan, and will you get advance notice of when McRibs will be on sale?

Good for your friend smile

I felt the same kind of pride when Fefe Dobson made it. I knew of her through mutual friends though we're a few years apart.

By the way, is he single? I'm not anymore, but I do remember a few threads around here with women yammering on about the paucity of available African-American males with jobs...

1) I can't help but wonder how many times he was told growing up "if you don't go to school you'll be working at McDonald's

2) blackmail opportunity...I'm sure you gave dirt on him...lol

You better call his ass up, Gray. He's going to be forcefed and fattened up by the illuminate and then fed to green space lizzards.

This spells the end for him.
