Fairhope man gets picture on 3 million Cheerios boxes However, General Mills gets athlete's home state wrong - al.com: "A Fairhope man is coming to a cereal box near you.

Patrick Peterson — a three-time gold medal winner in weightlifting and wheel chair racing — is featured on 3 million boxes of Cheerios cereal. General Mills, however, got Peterson's hometown wrong. The cereal producer listed it as Fairhope, Alaska, not Alabama.

The mild-mannered Peterson is not discouraged easily. He noticed the mistake when the company shipped him a case of cereal boxes with his image as a keepsake."
