Can't say for sure.  My grandfather, Melvin DeForest, knew -- when I was a
kid, I remember talking to him and my father about it, when visiting him.
From that conversation, I seem to remember that he was my grandfather's
uncle or cousin or something.  But I was only a little tyke then, and
Melvin passed away before I got a chance to ask him again.  One of these
days I'll look it up.  Shouldn't be hard; I bet the DeForest museum at
Foothill college (near here) has the whole family tree, and there aren't
very many of us.

It was pretty stunning to walk through Palo Alto and stumble upon the Lee
DeForest plaque on Emerson St., about two blocks from my house -- I knew
his lab had been in this area, but didn't realize I was practically on it.
