Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone was a good friend and companion of Helen. He remained a great support to her. 

Dr. Alexander Graham Bell first met Keller when she was six years old and her parents brought her to him for advice on how to teach her. This meeting was not only the beginning of a long friendship between Dr. Bell and Helen, but it also proved to be the foundation of Helen’s education and life. In fact, Helen has dedicated her autobiography ‘The Story of My Life’ to him. She has mentioned his sympathetic and tender nature that made her love him from her first visit itself. It was at his suggestion that Helen’s father wrote to Mr. Anagnos and subsequently found Miss Sullivan as a teacher for Helen. She visited him at his home and laboratory. He appears to be a wonderful and patient teacher who could instill enthusiasm and interest in his students. He was a humorous person and had love for children, particularly those who were deaf. Dr. Bell could understand Helen’s signs and acted like the door through which Helen could pass from darkness to light. He remained a good friend to Helen and Miss Anne Sullivan and accompained them on a trip to the world fare. He was a true friend who hleped Helen whenever she needed it.
