photo, LEO & HELEN PETERS with 4 of their 6 daughters (martha, linda, diana, barb) outside their Evanston (Chicago IL) apartment where Butterball was founded (1940's). Leo was the founder of Butterball Farms (not related to Butterball turkey, although he did sell them the name while retaining the rights to keep using it also for his butter. Today the butter is still used by McDonalds with all their breakfast meals. It is also sold in larger patties for fancy restaurants. Butterball Farms is based in Grand Rapids MI and is run by Leo's son (from his 2nd marriage)
