Famous Amos founder Wally Amos, a high-school dropout turned cookie mogul, dies at 88
Briefly

"With his Panama hat, kazoo, and boundless optimism, Famous Amos was a great American success story, and a source of Black pride," said a statement from his children.
"He inspired a generation of entrepreneurs when he founded the world's first cookie store on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles in 1975."
"The remainder of his life and the remainder of his professional pursuits were attempts to get him to, you know, reclaim that space."
"It's hard to run a business and to work with people on the mainland when you're in Hawaii; But he made the sacrifice."
