William Dean Wray (1910 – 1962) Mathematician/Cryptologist

“William spent the summer [of
1925] swimming in the warm and
buoyant waters at Warm Springs
and loved every minute of it.”
“A high point of the summer for
William was meeting Franklin
Roosevelt. William had several
conversations with Mr.
Roosevelt, who was something
of a hero to William because of
his valiant battle against polio
and his refusal to be defeated by
his handicaps. One day the
future President presented
William with his old Chemistry
book. William would cherish
this gift throughout his life.”
