 Featuring "Howard Johnson's" in its correct font, the street sign also includes a unique version of Simple Simon and the Pieman. The sign was placed in the same position as the original Trapezoid sign.

 Ron Butler was an active member of the Howard Johnson's Agents Council and served in several leadership positions on its board. He continued to be active in promoting Howard Johnson's even after the Company ceased to exist.

He was one of the key franchisees in 1985-'86 who fashioned Franchise Associates Incorporated (FAI), and served on its board as a Member-at-Large on the Executive Committee. Thus Mr. Butler became an OWNER of FAI and directed it as a board member.
