Here's another story about Joe Landwerlen. My dad, Lawrence Thompson, was in charge of the concessions at the Paul Cross Gym for each basketball game. Dad would take us over to the gym to start popping popcorn for the game and also getting deliveries from Coke, Bordens, and other companies who provided concessions. One of the delivery folks was Joe. He supplied the game with Drumsticks by Borden's. In those days, they came in open sleeves, not sealed like they are today. If he had some broken ones that couldn't be sold, we were in for a treat. The kids helping set up for the sales that night would be given the broken ones to eat instead of throwing them away. I am not sure but they might have been broken on purpose but we always knew that we would have one or two while getting ready for the game. I would hate to think how many of those Borden drumsticks we had as kids. Joe was a great guy and always made our work enjoyable.
