Eighty-seven years ago, a young boy named Bob became interested in autographs — mainly from Big League baseball players. Over the years, his interests broadened and he began collecting autographs from astronauts, political leaders and historical figures. Starting in 1979, he began to add letters and documents from figures influential to Baptist history.

Bob Hudson is now 97 years young and a longtime member of Olney Baptist Church.
