Frank Benford's birth date
I am a grandson of the physicist Frank Benford for whom Benford's Law is named. I have a letter with a brief autobiographical sketch my grandfather sent to Leonard Clark, Union College, in Schenectady dated October 3, 1939. In this letter he writes that he was born on July 10, 1883. I have no reason to think that he was either lying or incorrect. Therefore, I believe the date May 29 often listed as his birthday is incorrect. Frank Benford (talk) 16:15, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
