Cook hanging up apron after 56 years of serving hot dogs

By
COLUMBUS - Dinglewood Pharmacy in Columbus is honoring Lieutenant Stevens -- a local celebrity who has been serving chili dogs at the pharmacy for 56 years. <br> <br> Admirers came and went yesterday during a three-hour tribute to Stevens, who is known for his signature ``scrambled dog&#39;&#39; -- chopped-up hot dogs covered in onions, cole slaw and chili. They asked for his autograph, posed for pictures and reminisced about the first time they tasted one of his specialties <br> <br> Jane Wiley and her daughter, Cordy Arnold, -- frequent customers at Dinglewoods -- started a ``Friends of Lieutenant&#39;&#39; retirement fund and assembled a scrapbook for other longtime customers to share their memories. <br> <br> Arnold also brought a chili pot to the pharmacy for the event, but this one was filled with money. <br> <br> The Kinnett family attended the tribute as well. John Kinnett Senior used to bring his sister-in-law and many of his grandchildren to Dinglewood on Saturdays. <br> <br> Owner Terry Hurley eventually added a marble table to the pharmacy that sat six, and it was reserved for the Kinnetts each Saturday.
