Joseph Leonard Doob was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA on 27 February 1910. In an interview Joe gave for Statistical Science (see Snell (1997)), he said that in grammar school he built a crystal set and in high school operated a radio transmitter. This led him to think he would major in mathematical physics when he entered Harvard in 1926.
