partially paralyzed entrepreneur named Margarete
Steiff. This in itself is astonishing. Steiff survived
both World Wars, created a "homeworkers"
program to employ housebound moms at the turn
of last century, and was perhaps the first company
in the world to implement handicapped accessibility
throughout its campus as early as 1903.
From the design and development perspective: Steiff
invented the jointed Teddy bear as we know him
today. Steiff brought legacy characters like Peter
Rabbit, Mickey Mouse, Shockheaded Peter, Max
and Moritz, Barney Google, and many others to life
through their extraordinary doll-making capacities.
The company has won countless international
awards for its items and displays, starting with
Grand Prix medals for its 1904 stand at the St. Louis
World's Fair.
On a personal note: Steiff is in part why I am
around today. In 1932, my Grandmother Erika won
a Steiff bear as a door prize at the annual ball of the
German Book Association in Berlin. They became
fast and inseparable friends. One night, years later,
Erika was told by her boyfriend that if she did not
leave Germany immediately, her life would be in
danger. Erika packed a suitcase, grabbed this bear,
and fled Germany that evening. After a series of
travel adventures, she ended up in India, where
she had family business connections. Erika came to
America in 1946 with her husband, two sons, and
of course, her bear. I loved her bear since I first laid
eyes on him as a toddler. I finally received custody
of him as a college graduation gift. I'll never forget
her saying in her strong German accent that I was
"now old enough to handle the family's Steiff
legacy" upon the exchange.

True love! Jocko the chimpanzee and the author strike a pose.
