FOND DU LAC – For 20 years, a restaurant near the Forest Mall kept its customers fed any time of day. Jim and Marlene Ransom opened Ransom's Restaurant in 1977 at 245 N. Peters Ave., offering affordable meals in a comfortable atmosphere and earning a reputation for being some of the kindest proprietors in Fond du Lac, according to The Reporter archives.
