The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great.

Clutter started getting sick a lot around age 18 after graduating high school, Stone said. At the time, she thought of it as a recurring cold, but in retrospect, it was more likely withdrawal from opioids.
