The list is at:
http://www.ieee-dot-org/organizations/history_center/president_intro.html

Nobody since Feerst was trying to shake things up seems to have captured the
imagination and fun!

It's gotten to be a fairly diverse organization, so the names tend not to
ring a bell, but in the early days, the AIEE had some real notables:
A.G. Bell
C.P. Steinmetz (there's a HV guy for you!)

The IRE was more "scientific" than "practical" and RF oriented, so you have
notables like Irving Langmuir, Lee DeForest (for you VTTC folk), Jansky,
Terman, Beverage
