We dried continuously day and night. We had no efficient way to do it, so we built this new popcorn plant.

Every once in a while, someone will mail me a single popcorn kernel that didn't pop. I'll get out a fresh kernel, tape it to a piece of paper and mail it back to them.

Most of the competition was into bulk popcorn because of the major increases in the Drive-In Theatre Outlets.

We made more money feeding molasses, urea, and corn cobs to cattle than we ever did feeding dent corn.

I opened an office in Terre Haute, established eight of them, and became one of the eight county agents.

I had popcorn all over the place, so I decided I might as well be in the Processing Business.

Live in the moment, where everything is just right, take your time and limit your bad memories and you'll get wherever it is you're going a lot faster and with less bumps in the way.
