“On April 17, 1935, I called on John Hopkinson Baker, the newly elected President. He swept me off my feet. After struggling for two years to try and get people interested, he not only accepted the idea, he ran away with it.”                     Millicent Todd Bingham, in letter to John and Elizabeth Baker on the occasion of their 40th wedding anniversary.

The rest is our history……..
