If the name rings a bell, but I look younger than you expected, you are probably thinking of my Dad, who was born and raised in South Amherst until he joined the Airforce in the very early '60's.  In the Service, he spent most of his time working with nukes in the Atol islands.  In 1963 he met my mother, a NASA mathematician, near McClellan Air Force Base.
