Henry Lehmann

Henry was born in Leipzig, Germany on August 21, 1929, the younger of two sons of comfortable German-Jewish parents Marie and Leo.

In 1937, Henry, his parents, and his elder brother René fled the Nazi regime by moving first to Nice, France, where they lived for 18 months, and then to São Paulo, Brazil.

In the early spring of 1941, the family received their immigration visa to the United States and settled in New Orleans, Louisiana, home of Leo's cousin Mathile.

GE offered employment to the top three ranked graduates, and Henry accepted, beginning a 35-year career with General Electric.

Henry was CEO of GreenSpring Computers in Redwood City, CA from 1989 through 1995, when it was acquired by SBS Technologies, now Abaco Systems.

He was a board member and treasurer of Syracuse's inner-city Southwest Area Day Care Center, and led the development project for their facility.
