They all used to be on the letterhead of the Uncle Remus Memorial Association.

Uncle Remus Memorial Association Letterhead: Woodrow Wilson, WIlliam Taft, Theodore Roosevelt, Andrew Carnegie

(Here’s the entire list, in case any of you are really into Atlanta history.)

I wonder if they were all aware that their names flanked our materials, or if Andrew Carnegie was just like, “Ladies, ladies, chill out!  These Presidents–these Presidents are so busy, they’ll never know.  Go ahead, put them on the stationary.  And if anyone complains, I’ll take care of ‘em.”

Also, no offense to our current board, but come on.  You guys are clearly not famous enough.  I’m looking at you, Harold.
