to New York as a young woman. Her husband was Joseph Schaffner of the famous
Hart Schaffner & Marx clothing fame. I met Ruth when I purchased property from
her in Santa Barbara. When she learned about my profession, she stated that her
uncle was also an organic chemist, in fact, she said he was a Nobel laureate, had I
heard of Hermann Staudinger? Actually she was the daughter of another famous
Staudinger, Hans Staudinger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Staudinger), an
economist and sociologist. Because of his political beliefs and being married to a
Jewish woman, he had to escape Germany, ultimately landing in the USA and
becoming the Dean of the New School of Social Research in New York City.
