I have had the privilege to work alongside Mr Stansbury on an MLK50 event and he is a fabulous gifted man, and very humble indeed. Its been a highlight of my life to know him.
I want to say Thank you for this great video on the history of the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1878. My GGG Grandfather Charles G Fisher Jr was President of the Citizens Relief Committee and succumbed September 26, 1878. I have some photocopies of his telegrams to his sister in Covington

John S. Robilio was the founder. Cuneo was primarily financing the venture. Robilio was my great grandfather. Throughout this video you see a gentleman in a white shirt and tie. That's my uncle Albert Robilio. He took over in the early 30's after my great grandfather died from throat cancer. He was responsible for turning Ronco into the 10th largest pasta maker in the US. The 75% ownership slowly passed on to John's children. When Albert suddenly died in 1972 at the age of 62 his ownership was the last to be passed to the siblings. So why did my grandfather, two uncles and four sisters decide to sell the company to Coca-cola? Simple really. They were all very close and worked together like clockwork. The problem was what would happen with their 19 children inheriting the company. They decided it would be best for their them and their children to get out while the company was on top. Coke paid well over $20 million for a company started by a single Italian immigrant in 1927.
I'm not an expert, but I believe what's demonstrated here is a cold process. If it's hot process, that's when it's wrapped up and insulated for a longer period of time which makes it "cure" into a harder bar.
Thanks for making this Scott. I always wanted to know more about the history of Ronco and their connection to Memphis. Great to see the photos from the archives.
Brilliant! Mr. Stansbury a true treasure. A man I myself for years have wanted the privilege of meeting. So far this is as close as I have come ...sitting back and enjoying this wonderful video. Thank you for upload.
Can you provide tips on how to make the most out of a trip to a library with a young toddler (18 months old)? Is that too young to take to the library/children's section?
your research and documentary was good. but he left a huge number of what happened to the black population of people that the yellow fever killed or survive the researcher is talking about what happened to the white population , so his research is a half done job.
