    • “Mr. Bourne was born in Warsaw. His family came to the United States when he was 2 years old and settled in New York. He graduated from Harvard University in 1940 and served in England, France and Belgium with the Army Air Forces during World War II.

      “He then worked five years as a research assistant for the Gallup Organization in Princeton, N.J., before joining the Foreign Service in the mid-1950s. In addition to his overseas assignments, he was posted at the State Department in Washington.

      “In retirement, he worked as a host and guide to foreign visitors on State Department-sponsored trips. He also served as president of the Washington chapter of the American Association for Public Opinion Research.” [3]
