What's in a name? - corporate icon department

From the Wall Street Journal:

RAY KROC is the founder of McDonald's Corp. The Remembrances feature in Saturday's edition incorrectly said his first name was Roy.

Also, according to Time's 1998 profile of Kroc, he didn't found McDonald's. Rather, he became partners with the McDonald brothers to help them expand from their original California restaurant, and bought them out in 1961.
