HISTORY: Three friends, all retired, would meet with Mr. Reynolds on occasion for a friendly luncheon. He suggested to these three they join with him in his idea. A kickoff luncheon was held in the Claramor Restaurant in San Mateo, California on July 23, 1958. The four founders and five of their friends came to the luncheon.
