My ancestors combined a pioneering entrepreneurial spirit with a belief in education. My father's distant ancestor, William Cheesebrough, came to America in 1632 and founded Stonington, CT. My grandmother, Edith Garfield Cheesebrough, attended Cornell University from 1901-1905. Risking disinheritance, she met and eventually married Irish-immigrant, Ph.D.-student Peter S. McGuire. My father became a protégé of John Kenneth Galbraith and did graduate studies at Harvard and Princeton. He worked with the State Department as an economic advisor, consulting in the reconstruction of Turkey and Greece after World War II.
