There are several hundred Rietvelds in the US telephone directory alone,
but they are not all famous :-)

Seriously, Hugo R. himself gave a nice summary of the early history when
he received the Aminoff prize in Stockholm. He wrote it up at that time.
Perhaps we can persuade him to put it on the WWW ? How about it Hugo ?

At ISIS ? Bill David was 12 years old at the time of the 1967 paper :-)
And Lachlan himself was only 2 !
