Orville Redenbacher: A Man, His Popcorn & His Community

Orville Redenbacher was born on July 16, 1907. He would have turned 100 years old this July.
It seems that Orville has turned into a 21 st century media cliche. Though dead over 12 years, he is back in TV commercials run for the popcorn bearing his name (Multi-national corporation Con-agra now owns the product).

We speak with Glennas Qick from Valaparaiso, Indiana about Orville Redenbacher to mark his 100th birthday. Orville made his popocorn famous while living and working in Valapraiso.

We find that he was a real person (not a Betty Crocker) and an interesting one at that too.

We also ask Glennas why Orville, why popcorn and why Valapraiso ?
