Thank You Clarence Birdseye!

~My Freezer Door~

The date was March 6, 1930!  The place was Springfield, MA!  The event:  Clarence Birdseye began his test marketing program for frozen food!  

This inventor was born in 1886 in Brooklyn, NY & attended Amherst College in Amherst, MA for a period of time. Later, when Clarence lived in Labrador with his young family it was challenging to feed his family.  It was during this time that he watched the Eskimos "quick freeze" their food.  His interest in "quick freezing" grew.  Now, his name Birdseye is so familiar to us.  We see it on packages of frozen foods in the grocery stores.

Thank you Clarence Birdseye!
