I wonder if anyone is thinking about bringing the place back? Make the icecream and the carmels again, or at least sell the recipe? You should sell the little items like the moo cow sound makers in a gift shop there. It would be great. I know we would come! If you don’t have any intention of doing this, maybe you should make cookbooks and sell recipes?

I’d forgotton all about Willie from The Cow till I ran across this but he was always hanging out at the Farmers Market.

I’ll bet Willie is long gone now!

My Dad used to work at Foote Mineral right off Route 100 near the Exton Crossroads and we lived in Meadowbrook Manor – typical 60′s suburbia I guess you could say now.

I eventually moved to California but I still have great memories of this place, a really historic area as I came to learn later in life.

Willie was around alot of the time and his smile and happy demeanor was infectious. I remember many days and nights making special ice cream concoctions and he was always a willing tester.

Years later, I ran in to Willie and I am certain he remembered me and listened to me ramble on of stories from the past. He still had that wonderful smile. “toot toot, willie, willie” Joanne Finegan

And what a great guy he was. I wish then I would have taken pictures from when I worked there but I only have the memories. And remember the minature golf next to the resturant. And Exton Roller Rink and Exton Drive In many memories shame no pictures to share

Very heart breaking to see Willie who was all goodness.

It is so nice to hear they’re are people whose hearts are big enough to take in a young man and treat him like family. I just read the obit for Mrs Polite and of course Willie was mentioned! I think of him from time to time and wonder where he is and hope he is well.
