In a story in today's Boston Herald, Patrick has emerged as the front runner in a new poll with 31 percent, compared to 25 percent for Reilly and 22 percent for Gabrieli.

He's got the welcoming smile, the enthusiasm for the fast-food chain and a passion for people.

But instead of oversized shoes and a bright red nose, Miller has stuck with the traditional uniform or corporate attire in his McDonald's career.

Miller's McDonald's story began at age 15 when he was hired to pour drinks at a restaurant in West St. Paul, Minn.

His aim was to earn gas money for his moped. Instead, he got hooked and made the fast-food business his career.

"From 16 on, I was a manager," Miller said.

He went on to work for the corporate side of the business for about 30 years, moving around the country as he moved up the ladder.

Then, in 1992, he decided it was time for a career change:

"I said I've got to own a couple of my own."

Today, more than four decades after he donned a black tie and white shirt to wait on his first customer, Miller owns five McDonald's restaurants in the Fredericksburg area. More>>
