I do tend to sell a copy or two at conferences, though. Sometimes there's a personal connection – recently someone's father had attended the Hershey school as a child. Otherwise, I suppose it's just curiosity about the chocolate king! Certainly Hershey is a name people recognize. That should be true for Jesse Owens, but sadly, maybe it's not. Or maybe people assume Milton Hershey's story will be "lighter" and therefore more fun than Jesse Owens. They both had their share of overcoming difficult situations and inspiring others through their successes, though.Kris Bockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217265282250089583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-67620672856424129872013-12-03T09:33:43.260-06:002013-12-03T09:33:43.260-06:00I remember you once saying Milton Hershey is your ...I remember you once saying Milton Hershey is your best seller.
