156 Years Ago

 Ok, yes I know I am running a bit behind here as this post should have gone out on Feb 22nd. Anyway here it is, better late then never...

...An Anglican clergyman and his wife welcomed a son to their family on February 22.

Thirty-two years later to the day, an English brewer's family added a daughter.

Those two seemingly unrelated events are marked on Feb 22, in memory of Lord Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell and Lady Olave Soames Baden-Powell, two people who have had positive effects on untold millions of youth worldwide during the past century.

We salute you both!
