Talk:Ivar Stakgold

From where, when?
Newark DE. We say he is from Newark, Delaware, citing The Official Encyclopedia of Bridge 5th edition --of 7 eds., probably merely the one convenient to our editor. I suppose he submitted an autobiographical blurb to the Encyclopedia project at a time when he lived in Newark DE, where U Delaware is located. Likely that was for the 1st edition, 1964, as he played for North American in the 1959 Bermuda Bowl. We should learn at least when he moved from UD to UCSD, or that he did not relocate.

Oslo, Norway. He was born in Oslo per LCCN (one of our Ext links; I didn't give a formal reference) which cites the 1996 volume in his honor ("Other" in our list of Books). We should learn at least when he immigrated from Norway and broadly why --as a young child, with WWII refugee family, or for postwar study. He received the PhD from Harvard U in 1949, age 23/24! But it's said that mathematicians are good, young.
