Birdseye 2012 page 6 by ric gustafson
When Clarence came back to the United States in 1917, trouble in his family erupted. His father Clarence Sr and his brother Kellogg were involved in an insurance company scandal. The two in March of 1917 were sentenced to two years in prison.
Between 1920 and 1922, Clarence was the President of the Fisheries Association. This position pleased Clarence because of his two main interests, food and wildlife. A problem he pondered was how to get fresh fish to market in good condition. If only he could find a way to deliver fish to the customer as if it had just left the dock. The idea that he came up with was to preserve perishable foods by quick freezing. In 1922, the family moved to New Jersey and he began to share an ice cream plant to conduct his freezing experiments. His wife Eleanor was about to give birth to their third child.
