The quote “God made everyone right-handed; the truly gifted overcome it” has no known author and has become a popular defense of left-handers who have often dealt with the stigma of being different and living in a world biased towards right-handedness. Left-handedness is a preference for using the left hand dominantly, from writing to everyday tasks. Most of the world’s population is right-handed, with those using their left hand being in the approximately 10% minority.

 Founder Russ Berrie started his business with $500, he rented a garage in Palisades Park, New Jersey, and launched his own firm named after himself. Berrie intended to design, market, and distribute “impulse” gift items. From the start, Russ Berrie & Company produced a string of hit products that quickly found their way onto countertops, desks, and dashboards across the country. Among the company’s earliest creations: Fuzzy Wuzzies (tiny fur ball-like critters bearing messages like “You’re My Best Friend” or “Wild Thing”), troll dolls (squat gnomes with plumes of brightly colored hair) and the Bupkis Family (a motley collection of endearingly ugly rubber figurines). The owner believed in the power of “transformational giving,” partnering with energetic, visionary leaders to change the world for the better. He took an entrepreneurial approach to philanthropy, using his keen interpersonal skills to identify people and causes in which to invest and working closely with partners to hone strategies and set expectations.  “There is nothing more important in life than helping a fellow human being.”  — Russell Berrie (1933-2002).

John B. Anderson, a former Congressman for twenty years, ran in the presidential election in 1980 against Democrat Jimmy Carter and Republican Ronald Reagan, who won the election. Anderson ran as a non-party candidate, which provided numerous obstacles for him. He received a decent amount of support from independents as well as some liberals. Overall, Anderson's campaign proved to be one of the best runs for a third party candidate since George Wallace ran in 1968. Anderson is also known for being a political reform leader and served 12 years as the chair of the board of FairVote.
