Hi Stephen,

Thanks for commenting on the blog! You're the first member of the Johnson family who's left a comment. I certainly will include more about some more recent groundbreaking products and other developments in Johnson & Johnson history. (As part of the parameters of this blog, I don't post on current products, so that's why you only see historical information.) I do post on more recent historical topics than the 1800s/early 1900s, though, depending on the subject of the post...so please keep reading! Since Edward Mead Johnson left the Company early on (1890s) to start his own business, he's the founder we have the least information on, which is why you haven't seen a lot of posts about him. If you have any stories about him while he was at Johnson & Johnson that you'd like to share, feel free to post a comment or share them by email. All three of our founders were remarkable people who did a lot to change health care.

If you're looking for information and insight on what Johnson & Johnson is doing today and on current products, please check out Johnson & Johnson By the Way, our media relations blog, at www.jnjbtw.com.
