Percy Ross
Percy Ross (November 22, 1916 - November 14, 2001) was an American self-made multi-millionaire. He arrived in St. Louis Park, Minnesota around 1946-1947. He was associated with Ross and Ross Auctioneers. In 1959 he purchased a company called Poly-Tech, which made polyethylene plastic bags. He died in Edina, Minnesota on November 10, 2001.〔(Percy Ross Papers )〕
Ross was best known for his philanthropy, particularly through his ''Thanks a Million'' newspaper column, where he would often grant requests for readers in need. ''Thanks a Million'' ran in over 800 publications for 17 years. It eventually became a syndicated radio show running on over 400 radio stations. From the column and shows, he gave away an estimated US$20 to $30 million over a period of 17 years.
Ross was born and raised in Laurium, Michigan, on the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan's upper peninsula, about 10 miles from Michigan Technological University.
