Alexander McCormick Sturm
Alexander McCormick "Alex" Sturm (June 23, 1923 – November 16, 1951) was an American artist, author, and entrepreneur who co-founded in 1949, the American firearm maker, Sturm, Ruger & Co. Sturm provided the start-up money and designed the Germanic heraldic eagle that is found on Ruger guns. He was the husband of Paulina Longworth. Sturm came from a prominent Connecticut family, and his wealthy mother was of the McCormick mercantile family.〔 He was a Yale University graduate. Not long after the company had begun to succeed financially and gain traction, Sturm died from viral hepatitis.
==Early life and education==
Alex was born in Westport, Connecticut to sculptor/author/Yale football star Justin Sturm (April 21, 1899 — August 6, 1967) and Katherine "Kit" McCormick (August 31, 1900 — May 6, 1971). He had one younger brother, Justin Jr. (born 1926) (known as "Dusty"). Kit's brother Alexander Agnew McCormick, Jr. (1897–1918) was a World War I flier.〔"Miss McCormick and Justin Sturm Will Be Wed on June 24," ''Chicago Daily Tribune,'' June 14, 1922; "Chicago Flier Dies in Battle, Another in Fall," ''Chicago Daily Tribune,'' October 1, 1918.〕〔"Justin Sturm, Sculptor and Author, Dies," ''Chicago Tribune,'' August 8, 1967.〕 As a writer and artist, he was, during his life, perhaps best known for his two popular illustrated children's books, ''The Problem Fox'', and ''From Ambush to Zig-zag'', both published before he graduated from Yale; and for his playboy ''bon vivant'' lifestyle. A New York Times reviewer described the ''The Problem Fox'' as "marvelous", and "a little masterpiece."〔Wilson; — p. 38.〕
While a student at Yale, Alex liked to dine at the best hotel in town, while other students would eat at the school dining hall. One of his classmates from his undergraduate days at Yale recalled: "He would go to New York regularly on the weekends. His clothes were all custom-tailored, and he was a Renaissance type, with all kinds of talent. An artistic sense, a true brilliance, were in his genes. Alex was a voracious collector: guns, canes, swords, heraldry". Although Sturm preferred to stay indoors, he was an accomplished polo player.〔Wilson; — p. 22.〕
