NOTES
1. In his book Indiscrete Thoughts (Birkhäuser, Boston, 1997, p. 18), Gian-Carlo Rota recalls his fellow Princeton student Ralph Gomory as a "red-blooded American boyish Wasp type."   In fact, Ralph Gomory's mother (née Marian Schellenberg) was from a prominent German-Jewish family who were among the founders of Beth Elohim Congregation in Brooklyn, NY.  Marian Gomory's sister Rhoda Schaap was a President of the Brooklyn, NY Section of the National Council of Jewish Women.
2. Jewish father, mother of partial Jewish ancestry; see Models of My Life, by Herbert A. Simon (BasicBooks, New York, 1991, pp. 3, 17, 112, 262).
