Wow. What a day for amazing finds on the net.

Dr. Sven S. Liljeblad, a former UNR distinguished professor, died in Stockholm, Sweden on March 15, 2000 at age 100.

This is the guy I was named after. As I understand, his last name is pronounced "lul-ya-blod". My standard joke has always been: "Thank god I only got his first name!"

Now, if I could just find a photo of him...
