Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell, National Geographic's second president. This is the story about Alexander's love.  In 1873, 27-year-old Alexander fell in love with Mabel when she was 16, but Mabel had a bed impression for Alexander at first time. She said she could never marry such a man. However, she began to grow fond of him during his time as her speech teacher and their relationship evolved. One years before, He assumed the National Geographic Society presidency on January 7, 1898, Alexander and Mabel had two daughters together, Elsie and Daisy. "I dread absence from you," Alexander once wrote to Mabel. “Let us lay it down as a principle of our lives that we shall be together.” And be together they were, for over 45 years.
