The Foreign Candy

In the summer of 1976, Peter W. De Yager, a high school German teacher, began taking his students abroad so the students could learn more about the language and culture they were studying. After visiting a gummy bear factory in Germany, the students decided to sell the candy as a fundraiser to raise money for next summer¹s trip.The gummy bears sold amazingly well. Peter had an idea- why not sell Gummy Bears to German Clubs across the country? This would be a great job for Peter¹s wife, Betsy, in their home, and a great way for high school German students nationwide to raise funds.
