The Edison Pioneers was a group of former employees and other associates of Thomas Edison. On February 11, 1918, the Edison Pioneers met for the first time, on the 71st birthday of Edison. There were 37 people at the first meeting. Edison himself was not present; it was announced he was "engaged in important government service".[1] It was suspected he was working on a military project since World War I was still in progress.[1]
