TRW Co-Founder Also Was Dance Instructor

In 1960, my grandfather, Dr. George Kozmetsky, co-founded Teledyne. My husband asked him once whether he knew Simon Ramo (“Aerospace Legend Looks Back at the Time He Wasted -- in Meetings,” Nov. 6).
“Oh, Si taught me how to dance,” he replied.
Apparently they shared an office when they both worked for Howard Hughes, and at some point, Simon Ramo gave my grandfather dance lessons.
My grandfather passed on two years ago, but before he did, he was able to dance with me at my wedding. Thank you, Si.
