In the late 1950s I met a blind mathematician at Unisys Research Center in
Paoli, PA. I do not remember his name.
In the early 1960s I met a blind mathematician at IBM Research Center in
Yorktown Heights, NY. His name was Jesse Wright. He hung out with two
sighted mathematicians: Jim Thatcher and Calvin Elgot. Here are some links.
