Stuff which could potentially be added to the official page at some point

This section is for anyone who's looking to expand the official Elonka Dunin page. Not everything here is referenced, but you can pick and choose whatever you think is appropriate. If you would like my own advice on where to find references, just ask. Or, check my Elonka-in-the-news page at my personal site.

Public speaking

Given talks on Steganography, Kryptos, the PhreakNIC v3.0 Code, Famous Unsolved Codes and other cryptographic subjects at venues such as DragonCon, Def Con, PhreakNIC, ShmooCon, Archon (convention), UMR-Rolla, Washington University, the St. Louis FBI Computer Crimes task force, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the NSA's Cryptologic History Symposium.

While in the United States Air Force, stationed at RAF Mildenhall from 1978-1981 in the United Kingdom, and Beale Air Force Base in California, where she worked as an Avionics Technician on the SR-71 and U-2 reconnaissance aircraft from 1981-1983. Other aircraft she worked on included: TR-1, KC-135, EC-135, RC-135, T-38, C-130.

Famous Relatives

(unreferenced context) My father, Stanley Dunin, was a war orphan. Both of his parents were killed in Poland in September 1939 during the German blitzkrieg. Other family was arrested and sent to Auschwitz. My father and his sisters (all under the age of 6) were able to survive only through the frantic assistance of friends and relatives throughout Europe and North America. The children finally made their way to the United States with the assistance of Senator Homer Ferguson of Michigan, and grew up to have families of their own. But because of the chaos of the war, much of our family history was lost. One of my projects has been to try and piece together the bits and pieces of my family genealogy and heritage. Misplaced Pages has been a good source for this, as I have been learning about some of my more famous relatives, especially from the Polish szlachta (noble/gentility) classes. This section provides links to those relatives who are notable enough to have their own articles.


  • Great-great-grandniece (via my paternal grandmother's paternal grandmother) of Saint Raphael Kalinowski
  • Great-granddaughter of Edward Werner, Polish Vice-Finance Minister
  • Great-great-grandniece (via my paternal grandmother's maternal grandfather) of the famous German botanist Eduard Strasburger
  • First Cousin (by marriage) once-removed of Pulitzer-prize-winner Jared Diamond.
  • Rodryg Dunin - My great-grandfather. He had the title of "Hrabi" (Count), and was listed as a "Notable Pole" in a book somewhere (I'll dig up the link later)
  • Edmund Taczanowski - Great-great-grandmother's brother-in-law. My great-great-grandmother: Maria-Antonina Baranowska. Her sister: Aniela Baranowska. Her husband: Edmund. I'm actually related to him my blood, as well, as he's the grandson of my great-great-great grandfather Maksymilian Taczanowksi, which makes him the first cousin of my great-grandmother Lucia Taczanowska Dunin, or you could say he's my first cousin thrice removed, take your pick.  ;)
