Louie de B de B

He was born Louis de Branges de Bourcia. He prefers to be known as Louis de Branges.
But I am a slangoholic who is certain that Professor De Branges would not object to the title of this post. The certainty stems from the fact that this genuine fully-credentialed alive-and-well Godfather of Math inspired the following quote from Ronald Graham

To do creative work in mathematics or in most any field, you have to see things in a different way and approach things from a different point of view. That tends to carry over to your whole life. You tend not to fit into the standard mold, and if you deviate in a lot of ways, people are not going to include you. How do you deal with the people who are so creative that it's disruptive to have them around.

Blogger's Note
Describing Louis DeBranges as a Cornell Ph.D or describing Ronald Graham as the ex-President of the International Jugglers Association would be like saying Louis Armstrong is a man who owned a trumpet.
