You will recognize Jeffery Meikle; he is interviewed extensively in our film and provides key information about Leo Baekeland’s life and times.  


Hugh and Joris [see photo] first met in Ghent, Belgium. Since then, they’ve crossed paths at the 2009 Baekeland Award ceremony at Rutgers University, doing research at the Columbia University Archives, and most recently for a screening of All Things Bakelite at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
And Bud Mikhitarian has been involved with ATB since its early beginnings.
