Pierre Andre Portmann

My Dad

Pierre was born in Berne, Switzerland and immigrated to the US when he was six years old. He was raised in Flushing, NY. In his early teens, he developed a love of radios and their signals. He graduated from MIT, married Barbara Straub and went to work in a field he loved (what became aerospace communications). I tended to think of him as a lovable egghead. After all, he was an engineer.

It seemed to me that he truly has a grasp of higher mathematics far...
