William Martin Boyce

William Martin Boyce is a mathematician, bond analyst, and computer scientist.
He has degrees from Florida State University (B.S. 1959, M.S. 1960)
and Tulane University (Ph.D. 1967). As a high school senior he was a National Merit Scholar.
His thesis at Tulane solved the well-known "commuting functions" problem by demonstrating the existence of a pair of commuting functions with no common fixed point. Boyce utilized a FORTRAN program to search the solution space for possible counterexamples, and his thesis, written in 1967, is one of the earliest examples of a computer-assisted proof.
After two years as an officer in the Army and two years at NASA on Project Apollo, Boyce joined Bell Laboratories in the Mathematics and Statistics Research Center under Henry O. Pollak. Working with Andrew J. Kalotay, he researched models for pricing callable bonds and devised a program that computed when a bond issue should be called that became standard for the Bell System. His work with Michael R. Gary earned him an Erdős number of 3.
Upon the breakup of the Bell System, Boyce moved to Salomon Brothers under Martin L. Leibowitz, where he devised a "matrix pricing" scheme for daily bond pricing still in use today. . He worked on the CMPOS bond portfolio analysis system with Shlomo "Steve" Mandel and was an original member of the Yield Book fixed income analytical system team.
He retired from Citigroup as a Vice President in 2003.

William Powers (physician)

William Powers, D.O., born 1985, is a Family medicine physician and the owner of Powers Family Medicine, a clinic in Farmington Hills, Michigan.
== Education ==
Powers graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a B.S. in Neuroscience, and received his medical degree from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine.
== Powers Family Medicine ==
Powers opened his own practice, Powers Family Medicine, in 2019. The office received 1000 unique patients in its first six months. Powers Family Medicine is located in Farmington Hills, Michigan. 
=== Transgender and inclusive care ===
The practice focuses on transgender and inclusive care. Powers has been called "a hero to the trans community" by the Metro Times.
Powers—who was trained in World Professional Association for Transgender Health standards—developed the "Powers method" for transgender hormone therapy. Some ways the "Powers method" deviates from WPATH norms are by monitoring for both estrone and estradiol, preferring bicalutamide to spironolactone as an antiandrogen.
Powers also runs a subreddit dedicated to answering patient questions about transgender hormone replacement therapy.
== World-record cats ==
Two of Powers' cats held Guinness World Records for their size: Cygnus for longest tail (17.5 inches), and Arcturus for tallest cat (20.1 inches). Powers appeared with the cats on Good Morning America.
In 2017, a fire caused by a massage chair entirely burned Powers' house. Two of his cats were later found dead, with a third never found. Powers and his wife sued the massage chair manufacturer, American Crocodile International Group Inc., for $1 million in damages.

William Ray Larson

William Ray Larson (January 30th, 1933 – November 15, 2006) was an American restaurant founder, known for starting the West Coast American pizza company Round Table Pizza
Larson was born in San Jose, California on January 30th 1933 to Doris Loveall. He had one older brother, Robert Larson. They were later adopted early in childhood by Swedish immigrant and machinist Henry Larson, Doris' new husband. William was raised in Palo Alto, California. He attended the local schools in the Palo Alto school district. William later enlisted in the Navy and was sent to Japan at the age of 17. After his time in the military, Larson worked several different jobs, gaining experience that ultimately led him to create his own restaurant.
In 1958, Larson returned from a four-year stint in the Navy and went to work at a pizza parlor in San Mateo, California. He liked the work and began planning to construct a pizza restaurant of his own. A year later he quit his job, borrowed $1,800, turned his furniture in to the bank as collateral for additional money, and used these earnings to opened his first pizza parlor in Menlo Park, California on December 21 1959 located at 1235 El Camino Real . This location eventually moved to 1225 El Camino Real a few years later where it still stands today. He named the restaurant Round Table Pizza after the round redwood tables he and his father constructed. According to PizzaMarketPlace.com, "William's developed recipe & crust soon brought Round Table Pizza a strong following from customers and entrepreneurs." By 1978 Round Table had amassed 225 stores. Larson penned the slogan for Round Table "share a little pizza with someone you love." This was later changed to "The Last Honest Pizza." The idea for the original logo came about in 1961, when a friend of Larson's drew some sketches of members of King Arthur's court eating pizza, and Larson then adopted the King Arthur theme for his restaurants. The three banners in the official logo were added in 1970, and are intended to symbolize the letters "F-U-N". Currently Round Table Pizza has over 400 restaurants open.
Larson died of cancer on November 15, 2006 in his hometown of Palo Alto at age 73. He had nine children. As of 2020 William's son, Bob Larson, still owns and operates the original Menlo Park California restaurant.
