Frank Press[edit]

@Billposer: where did you find the information that William is the son of Frank Press? -- Fyrael (talk) 16:27, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I know Bill Press personally but the information is in this NYT obituary for Frank: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/01/science/frank-press-dead.html Bill (talk) 21:24, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, Margaret Press, known for her forensic DNA work (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Press) is Bill Press's ex-wife, but I don't have a reference for that. Bill (talk) 21:26, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
