Birdseye--#2 finished

This is about Clarence Birdseye who innovated the whole frozen food industry & helped turn it into the huge deal that it is today.  He led an interesting life growing up outside New York city, hunting in Montana for ticks to help understand & develop cure for Rocky Mountain fever.  Time in New Mexico & Washington DC, then moving to Newfoundland/Labrador hunting, fishing & raising foxes for the pelts.  Then at Glouster MA developing the frozen food technology and then light bulb enhancements, tried dehydrated foods and then near end of life in Peru working to develop paper from sugar cane stocks.  Good read and interesting person.

I have posted it on PBS, it is the only copy in system so I hope it will get moved at some point.
