I worked for the Oswald family during my 20 years in Byron, MN. We had many, so many, laughs and great times. Frank taught all of us the ropes of working hard, not being lazy and getting the job done, and doing it right. The restaurant has been operated by a solid bunch of family members for so many years. I am so proud to have been a part of his legacy. I use it every day in my life! I miss you all and we will be there celebrating a life very well lived. Cheers to Frank! And Kudos to Twyla as well, his wife of a million years I"m sure! ;)
