On this episode of Our American Stories, Richmond radio host Jeff Katz shares a note that his daughter won't ever read, but will surely impact your life for the better. The Craddock family operates or services over 70 gas stations and 16 fast-service restaurants in Mississippi… but Ron Craddock worked his way up from nearly nothing, and he made his sons Ben and David do the same.
