William Leonard (Bill) Jolitz, a native of Duluth Minnesota, made the transition from
a boy from the "wrong side of the track" to esteemed chemical engineer, inventor, and aerospace
engineer in Silicon Valley. Like so many other men of the time, he was
recruited and served in the European theater of World War II, most notably at the
Battle of the Bulge. After returning from the war and completing his engineering studies
at the University of Minnesota, he wisely convinced Norma I. Westman, a
Duluth Swedish beauty, to marry him. They had four children (Brenda, Marsha (dec.),
William Frederick, and Kimberly), and remained happily married until his death in 1994.
