Packers Roots Run Deep in Wisconsin Life and Culture
A longtime Packers fan recalls growing up with the team and working as a vendor at Lambeau Field. After college and moving to Appleton, he and his wife pursued careers at Kimberly-Clark before leaving the area in the 1970s.

Betty notes LeDue’s transformation in retirement and the town’s strong Packers identity.
