Raabe represented Oscar Mayer & Co. as "Little Oscar" and played a key part in the company's early efforts to gain brand recognition. Raabe, a native of Jefferson County, took a leave from his job at Oscar Mayer to play the role of munchkin coroner for the movie Wizard of Oz. The resulting celebrity further propelled the Little Oscar character and Oscar Mayer products to new markets throughout the nation. Raabe died in 2009. "...she's really most sincerly dead."

It’s a thrill to have a news story about Wisconsin that has nothing to do with holding the Capitol hostage.

I wonder if they are going to induct "Abe Froman, Sausage King of Chicago?" ;)
