Coldstone Creamery Connection to Donald & Susan Sutherland?

Donald & Susan Sutherland who started the ice cream chain Coldstone Creamery have donated $10,000 to prop 102 to
ban marriage in Arizona.

Now, people aren't quite sure if the founders are still tied in some way to the company either financially, or in some other capacity.

I don't want to jump to any conclusions by notifying readers to
boycott or protest Coldstone but doing some internet searching it
appears the connection between the Sutherlands and Coldstone may still
be alive.

In a segment on Oprah this year:

"O presents a lot of Cold Stone Creamery stats that will do nothing more than occupy more space in the section of our brains earmarked for "crap we'll never need to know." It started as a mom and pop shop in Tempe. At one point, the business was down to making $6 a day. The New York Times printed a story about them as a "favorite ice cream." Today, they are a $500 million business with over 1,400 stores.

But the most telling moment comes near the end of the segment when one of the owners, Susan Sutherland, makes ice cream treats for O and some other guests. But she unknowingly gives O's ice cream away. The tension is almost palpable as the MPWITU is clearly perturbed by this commoner's mistake."(A Guy's Guide to Oprah)
If Susan Sutherland is on Oprah and according to this article is an
"owner" the connection may still be alive and well? Thoughts for a
course of action, or any other sources to prove a possible connection?

Please stay tuned, I am sure we will get the low down, or is it down low on this shortly.
