his name has been associated with fast food concept, mean gene's burgers, the brainchild of food-distributor orion food systems (headed by two of okerlund's nephews), which appeared on college campuses including duke university and west virginia university, as well as mean gene's pizza, a chain of pizzerias located within bowling alleys. mean gene's burgers locations are also located at select overseas us navy base eatery locations (e.g. united states fleet activities yokosuka). these are owned by hot stuff foods, which was headed by two of his nephews. early in 2006, okerlund and hot stuff split. okerlund and one of the nephews were planning to start their own food company on the brands, but hot stuff sued, claiming they had "mean gene" trademarked. okerlund lost, with the judge saying that okerlund can't use the name "mean gene" for his new food company. okerlund succeeded in canceling the trademark registrations held by orion, but remained enjoined from competing with orion for the remainder of his life.

prior to the december, 1941, entry of the united states into the second world war, the united states army and the united states marines corps were permitted to deploy forces to bermuda under the destroyers for bases agreement, ostensibly to guard us navy and us army air forces air base sites to which the united states had been granted leases by the british government, but with the intent of also allowing the neutral us to covertly reinforce the british army's bermuda garrison. bermuda had been the headquarters and main base of the royal navy's north america and west indies squadron since the independence of the united states, and the location of its dockyard. the colony was a vital forming-up point for trans-atlantic convoys in both world wars. there was also royal air force bermuda on darrell's island which was vital to trans-atlantic aviation, a fleet air arm air station on boaz island, cable and radio facilities important to trans-atlantic navigation and communication, and other strategic assets (which would be joined by the us army air base, the us naval operating base (for flying boats and ships), a us navy submarine base on ordnance island, and a royal canadian navy base). these assets made bermuda's defense imperative to the british empire and commonwealth's, and later the allies', global strategy, but british forces used for its defense were desperately needed elsewhere. granting the neutral united states base rights and enabling the deployment of american ground forces resulted in the development of assets at american expense which would be used by british forces (notably kindley field air base which was to be used jointly by the us army and the royal air force and royal navy), as well as enabling british forces to be redeployed overseas as there was a tacit agreement the american forces would defend the entire british colony, and not just the us bases.
