The pre-history of Hewlett Packard: David Packard in Schenectady

When my wife, Louise Marks, moved her elderly mother to Colorado in 2005, she found a photo album under a bed in a spare bedroom of the family house in Los Altos, California. Here is an image of Louise’s father, Vorras Elliott, David Packard, and a third roommate (I think it’s Hugh Maxwell, who left engineering to become a real estate developer). His wife, Louise Marks (who discovered the photo album), grew up in Niskayuna, NY (near Schenectady) and Los Altos, CA, attended U.C. Berkeley and Boston University, and lived in several of the same places as Norman before they met in San Diego.
