Dr. Russell Weiner (a dentist by profession with the United States Military) and his brother, Don Weiner began to buy the rights to minor league baseball card player's images and trading card rights thus creating DonRuss baseball card company. Later they placed a stick of bubblegum in each package, long before Topps and Fleer (also originally candy makers) copied the process. Dr. Weiner later sold the company to the Kellog corporation. He know manages his stock investments, his nephew still works for DonRuss and another nephew manages real estate investments -- farmland/cotton farms. His daughter just recently married the President of FedEx (I believe).
Dr. Weiner and his wife Joy (a world renowned violinist -- playing for numerous European heads of state) are one of the most delightful couples I have ever met. They are very generous in philanthropic causes and have been overly generous to Kappa Sigma. Dr. Weiner just pledged a $1 million dollar life insurance policy to the new International Headquarters, in which the builidng will honor his name.
