Elaine Bartlett: Elaine Bartlett was a woman charged with a first offense felony for selling cocaine.  Elaine, a mother of four children, spent sixteen years in the Bedford Hills prison in New York.  During the time of Elaine's arrest, New York had just undergone some major changes with their drug laws.  The controversial Rockefeller drug laws caused a major upset and cause many to second-guess the criminal justice system's benign motives.  After he release in 2000, Elaine had no proper resources to help her get back on track with her life but that was not an excuse for her.  Bartlett was a woman on a mission who was going to prove to not only to herself, but to the world that she was going to make it.  After having lived through sixteen years in prison, she became an activist to repeal the Rockefeller drug laws.  Bartlett helped found the Mothers of the Disappeared which is an advocacy group that is fighting to try and repeal the drug laws.  Not only has Bartlett helped found this organization, but she has also gone up against New York state legislators, and delivered speeches at rallies.  Besides the Rockefeller drug laws, Bartlett has also made an impact in attending anti-drug law events in Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and Texas.  While Elaine was still in prison, she wanted to be involved with as many activities as she possibly could in order to keep busy and to show that she had the full potential to better herself and get an education.  In 1999, Bartlett obtained her associate degree from Mercy College while she was still in prison.

American bison: The American bison ("Bison bison"), also commonly known as the American buffalo or simply buffalo, is a North American species of bison that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds.  They became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle, and have made a recent resurgence largely restricted to a few national parks and reserves.  Their historical range roughly comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and east to the Atlantic Seaboard of the United States (nearly to the Atlantic tidewater in some areas) from New York to Georgia and per some sources down to Florida.  Bison were seen in North Carolina near Buffalo Ford on the Catawba River as late as 1750.

Andrew Hamilton (lawyer): Andrew Hamilton ( 1676 – August 4, 1741) was a Scottish lawyer in the Thirteen Colonies, where he finally settled in Philadelphia.  He was best known for his legal victory on behalf of the printer and newspaper publisher John Peter Zenger.  This 1735 decision in New York helped to establish that truth is a defense to an accusation of libel.  His eloquent defense concluded with saying that the press has "a liberty both of exposing and opposing tyrannical power by speaking and writing truth."

National Bison Range: The National Bison Range (NBR) is a National Wildlife Refuge located in western Montana established in 1908 to provide a sanctuary for the American bison.  The NBR is one of the oldest National Wildlife Refuges in the United States.  The size of the bison herd at the NBR is relatively small, numbering between 350 and 500 individuals.  The initial herd of American bison was provided by organizations such as the American Bison Society, and today the refuge serves as the central point for bison research in the United States.

Dr Sande was Chief of Medical Services at San Francisco General Hospital in 1981 when he recognized a pattern of gay men being admitted with the rare pneumocystis pneumonia.  His efforts on behalf of these patients resulted in the formation of an AIDS ward at San Francisco General Hospital and later an AIDS outpatient clinic.  Teaming with such experts as Julie Gerberding and Paul Volberding he helped to craft what became known as the "San Francisco model" of AIDS therapy, a comprehensive, rational approach to care that avoided the fear and paranoia surrounding the disease at that time.  The model addressed a need for infection-control guidelines, clinical studies and research financing and became a template for AIDS centers nationwide.  Sande helped found to the Gladstone Institute of Virology and Immunology, which performed trials on some of the first anti-retrovirals such as zidovudine.  He also helped to found the Infectious Diseases Institute at the Makerere University College of Health Sciences in Kampala, Uganda a major center for HIV education and research in Africa.  Sande was a professor of Medicine at University of California, San Francisco from 1980–1996, chairman of the department internal medicine at University of Utah from 1996–2005 and Professor of medicine at University of Washington from 2005 until his death and president of the Infectious Diseases Society of America from 1993–4.
