He was a native of Neodesha, Kansas, and died at Blacksburg, Virginia. His first degree was from the University of Missouri; his PhD, in physical chemistry, was awarded by Cornell University.
He also wrote several books, including The Tender Ship, which defends his thesis that governments are usually incompetent managers of technology projects.
