Ed Pebbles and his wife Patty founded local Shipley Donuts and later expanded into Exxon gas stations. Community leader and quiet the character.
 
Correction From one of our Listeners:
 
Ed Pebbles was a fine person that came to Alex with a radio station and married Patty Pool from Lecompte.  Bill and Bobbi Sovia started the Shipley Donut Shops in La. Bobbi died years ago and Bill sold most of the Shops to Ed.  Bill and Bobbi lived on Southampton and Bill just died about a year ago.  He had just sold the last Shipley Shop in Natchitoches not too many years ago.  They had one daughter, Susan Sovia Patty. When they were getting started, I met the Shipley’s and sons from Houston Texas.
