PACUR was actually a spin-off company of another plastics company called Curwood, which was co-founded by Howard Curler (Ron Johnson’s father-in-law) in 1958.
Howard Curler was a giant in the plastics industry. In the late 1960s, he led a merger with the huge multinational corporation, the Bemis Company, but stayed on as president of Curwood. From 1978 to the early 1990s, Howard Curler would be CEO of Bemis. (Today, Howard Curler’s son, Jeffrey Curler is president and CEO of the Bemis Company.)
Howard Curler’s other son, Pat Curler, headed-up the spin-off company, which started in 1977 and was named PACUR, as a shortening of Pat Curler’s name. For many years PACUR’s only “client” was “selling” plastic products to parent company, Curwood.
In 1979, when Ron Johnson was 24, he accepted an offer to join his wife’s family’s plastic business, moved to Wisconsin, and worked in the PACUR company under his brother-in-law, Pat Curler.
This is exactly how it happened, but if you just learned about Johnson from media coverage and Johnson’s campaign, you would be led to believe (as I was) that an entreprenurial Johnson was a “self-made man” that started a plastics company in Oshkosh.

For what it is worth. Hopefully since there was two of them, the other guy messes up and talks to someone else about this. If you don't wanna get caught you better not have sidekick. JMO. Plus they weren't wearing helmets which will help. I would interview every biker club from Rockford to hell and back.

Add a few more losses with Jefferson gone. The only Kurt Thomas I ever heard of with talent was a gymnast
On Jennings next in line for a new contract?

Jennings may of had a few more drops last year but apparently his attitude hasn't dropped off. I wish there were more players like him that continue to stay hungry. He's not only a great underrated receiver across the league but a vital cog in the Packer's offense.

Should of released him a few years back after Plaxico Burress dragged him all over the field that night against the Giants in the playoffs. It all comes down to Sam Shields, the undrafted rookies play and his 4.2 40 speed! That's the nature of the business in the NFL.
