Ben Franklin Quote

This is when Leo was made aware of Ben Franklin. Quote from his acceptance speech in 1940 of the Franklin Medal… ‘In the year 1871, when I was about eight years old and a pupil in the public schools of the city of Ghent, Belgium, our teacher fascinated us by reciting the glorious life of Benjamin Franklin. I dared not dream, then, that some day The Franklin Institute would invite me to receive its foremost honor: The Franklin Medal.’
