Ralph R. Parker was the second President of INCDNCM (in 1947). He was an energetic director of the Rocky Mountain Laboratory, a U.S. Public Health Service research facility in Hamilton, Montana, was a charter member of the organization. He died suddenly in 1949. Beginning at the 1951 meeting, the conference included the "R. R. Parker Memorial Address," on a topic of general interest, for the members, in disease and to "perpetuate the memory of a leading worker in the field of interest of this organization."
