IGORSTRAVINSKY1913 (talk) 21:42, 9 April 2008 (UTC) Personal Memories Jerzy Neyman's wife, Olga Solodovnikova Neyman, her son, cinematographer Michael Neyman, and Olga's cats (usually ten, including Mishka, who lived to be twenty-six) were my neighbors in Berkeley, California. Mrs. Olga Neyman spoke, read, and wrote many languages herself, Russian, Ukrainian, French, Portuguese, and English, that I know of. She was talented, had witnessed historical events such as Bloody Sunday in Russia when she was about four years old, knew or worked for some famous people such as Raymond Duncan, Isadora Duncan's brother, in Paris, and Vladimir Nabokov. She was very talented in creating beautiful pottery and taught classes, and she painted. I knew Olga and Michael since I was born and I spent an enormous amount of time in her home during my childhood up to my young adulthood. I first remember meeting Dr. Jerzy Neyman when I was either 11 or 12. He came to visit after Olga had just been in the hospital and was recuperating and I was there helping Olga out as much as I could at that age, bringing up cups of coffee or tea and light meals to her room, and mostly Olga and I chatted. Dr. Neyman gave me a box of petits-fours for my youthful assistance to Olga, and he made a vivid and charming impression on me. He wore a beret, a lovely suit, and he had a sterling silver Parker fountain pen in his jacket pocket. Dr. and Mrs. Neyman had been separated ever since I could remember and lived in different homes, although they never divorced. I will always miss the Neymans and I think of them often. Their kindness to me, especially Olga's, who I knew the best because I saw her daily when I was small, and very frequently as I grew up (our family eventually moved), is what I will always treasure. Mrs. Olga Neyman died in 1978.
