==Background==

==Background==

Oreck was born to Abraham R. and Sheba Polansky Oreck in Duluth, [[Minnesota]], a small red-headed boy who constantly got into fights with older children; this scrappiness was the very trait that allowed him to succeed. He dropped out of his freshman year at the Duluth campus of the [[University of Minnesota]] in order to join what was then the [[United States Army|Army Air Corps]] and served in the [[Pacific Ocean]] as a B-29 navigator. He had a lifelong love of aviation and collected historically important aircraft. His wartime experience reinforced a deep sense of patriotism shown in part by his emphasis on American-made products.<ref name=obit/>
