Eugene Engmann, a 32-year-old man from Idaho Falls, carries a red book filled with messages about life and happiness from people all over the world. Among these messages is advice from 2019 Nobel Prize winner Stan Whittingham, urging others to enjoy life. Engmann, who works at the Idaho National Laboratory, launched a fundraiser to benefit the Ronald McDonald Family Room and spread happiness in his community through a bigger or better trade challenge. Starting with a paper clip, Engmann has traded his way up and hopes to raise $2,500 for the charity. He believes in the importance of learning from others, a lesson he learned as a child in West Africa. Engmann collects advice in his black and red books and has received messages from prominent figures like Idaho Governor Brad Little and former presidential candidates. Engmann has raised about $350 through Venmo and is continuing his efforts to meet people and make a positive impact. He encourages others to participate in the trade challenge or make a donation to support the cause. Engmann’s story highlights the power of connecting with others, learning from different perspectives, and giving back to the community.
