To celebrate National Teddy Bear Day, Peggy's daughter — who works in activities at an assisted living facility in Maine — reached out about a virtual storytelling session. After a scheduling mix-up left us with only 30 minutes to prepare, our own Steven Meyer didn't miss a beat. He jumped front and center to tell the Mary Meyer story, and lucky for us, Mary was his grandmother, so he knows it by heart. He shared the history straight from Mary's original designs and vintage photos.
The residents were absolutely delighted — and got a teddy bear keepsake of their own to commemorate the day. 🐻❤️ Thank you, Steven, for making time to bring a little extra joy into someone's day. This is what is all about.
