My paternal grandfather was Avraham, son of Yehuda Leib Brudno.
Avraham had twelve children: Yehuda, Berta, Aharon, David, Sima, Sara
and (Simcha did not tell me the other names). My maternal grandfather
was Simcha Feive Farber. Both of my grandmothers were born into the
Soleznik family of Vilna. They were sisters; Nechama was married to
Avraham Brudno and Rivka was married to Simcha Feive Farber. My mother
was Sheina Tesia (also known by Berta nee Farber) and she was born in
Vilna in 1891. My father was Aharon Brudno and he was born in Vilna in
1879. My father's father, Avraham (son of Yehuda Leib, my
great-grandfather), was born in 1844 and died in 1925. ("I have just
arrived to the age in which he passed away"). The Brudno family was
originally from Smorgon (then in the Vilna region), the town where
most of the Brudnos originated. Since Yehuda Leib received a good job offer in Shavli, Aharon followed
his brother Yehuda to Shavli in 1911. They both found jobs in a
tannery (a factory to process raw leather), which belonged to a Jew by
the name of Chaim Frankel. The firm was the biggest factory in the
region. Before my father left Vilna he married my mother, Sheina Tesia
(his first cousin). Their mothers were sisters. Both of my parents,
Aharon and Berta, worked at the tannery, albeit in different branches.
Both worked as bookkeepers and as part of their benefits, they
received a home on the grounds of the factory. The address of the
house was Vilnius Gatve #72. In 1912 they had their first child, a
daughter, whom they named Nechama after her grandmother who had passed
away. In 1914, at the outbreak of the First World War , my father
Aharon was taken to serve in the czars' army. Many of the Russian
soldiers looked at him strangely since he was the first Jew they had
ever met. He spent most of the time fighting on the front and said
that more Russians were killed by each other than by the Germans.
Every day he would write a letter to my mother, his beloved wife.Shavli is located in the western part of Lithuania ¨C not far from
Germany. In the spring of 1915, the Russian leaders decided to expel
the Jews to the interior of the country, claiming that the Jews had
helped the Germans and blaming them for the failures of the Russian
army. The Jews of Shavli were forced onto trains to Poltova and later
to Kharkov where my mother Berta and sister Nechama spent their days
until 1918. When the war ended, they returned to Shavli and reunited
with my father, Aharon. Yehuda Leib Brudno ( my uncle) did not come
back to Shavli. He returned to Vilna, where he later perished with his
entire family. For many years, the family could not see each other
because Vilna had become part of Poland. Lithuania and Poland had very
bad relations and they did not allow visitation between the two
countries.... For the rest go to;http://www.eilatgordinlevitan.com/siauliai/siau_pages/siau_stories112305.htm

The Book of Clevelanders, A Biographical Dictionary of Living Men of
the City of Cleveland, Burrows Book Company, 1914Brudno, Ezra Selig; author; born in Lithuania, May 28, 1877; son of
Issac and Hannah (Model) Brudno; attended Adelbert College (Western
Reserve University), 1896-1897; at Yale, 1898-1900, reading law and at
same time pursuing academic studies; finished law studies at Western
Reserve University, 1900; unmarried; began practice of law in
Cleveland, 1901; assistant district attorney since 1909; Republican.
Author: The Fugitive, 1904; The Little Conscript, 1905; The Tether,
1908. Contributor to magazines.http://www.accessgenealogy.com/scripts/data/database.cgi?file=Data&report=SingleArticle&ArticleID=0030556
Part of the appeal of the book lies in its extensive use of The
Jugglers, a novel written by the Cleveland lawyer-cum-writer, Ezra
Brudno, which satirizes the Cleveland legal profession. Published in
1920, the novel recounts the introduction of an idealistic, young
lawyer to legal practice and particularly workmen's injury proceedings
in Cleveland. Bellamy is lucky to have such a delightful foil to his
more serious argument throughout his monograph. It provides an amusing
and irreverent portrait of the rather seamy underside of legal
proceedings in Cleveland in the period covered by the monograph. This
makes a potentially dry subject, in fact, very readable

will meet with Eugene Brudno, a Cleveland senior and World War II
veteran who has dedicated more than 25 years as a volunteer to helping
families coping with mental illness. In his State of the Union
address, President Bush called on all Americans to dedicate at least
two years of their lives¡ªthe equivalent of 4,000 hours¡ªin service to
their communities, our country and the world. His goal is to give
Americans a way to respond to the evil of terrorism with acts of
compassion. President Bush is recognizing individuals around the
country who are answering the call to service, and will recognize
Brudno as an example of the dedication to service he is hoping to
instill in all Americans through his USA Freedom Corps initiative.Brudno has dedicated countless hours of volunteer service to
supporting families with mentally ill children. Having owned a produce
company, Brudno is known in many Cleveland neighborhoods as "Eugene
the Eggman." Brudno began volunteering with Jewish Family Services
more than 25 years ago and has founded several organizations to help
families cope with mental illness.Brudno and his wife, Irene, are the co-founders of the Alliance for
the Mentally Ill of Metro Cleveland. He is also a co-founder of PLAN
(Planned Living Assisted Network) of Northeastern Ohio, which assists
adults with mental illnesses when their parents or caretakers pass
away. The organization serves 120 families in Ohio.Reporters interesting in interviewing Brudno should contact Kathy
Levine with Jewish Family Services at (216) 849-5515.------------------------------------------------

Aleksandr L'vovich Brudno (Alexander Lvovich Brudno) (Russian:
§¡§Ý§Ö§Ü§ã§Ñ§ß§Õ§â §§î§Ó§à§Ó§Ú§é §¢§â§å§Õ§ß§à) is a Russian computer
scientist, best known
for fully describing the alpha-beta (¦Á-¦Â) search algorithm.[1]] Biography
Brudno developed the "mathematics/machine interface" for the M-2
computer constructed in 1952 at the Krzhizhanovskii laboratory of the
Institute of Energy of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the Soviet
Union.[2][3] He was a great friend of Alexander Kronrod.Brudno's work on alpha-beta was published in 1963 in Russian and
English.The algorithm was used in computer chess program written by Georgy
Adelson-Velsky and others at the Institute for Theoretical and
Experimental Physics (ITEF or ITEP). According to Monty Newborn and
the Computer History Museum, the alogorithm was used later in Kaissa
the world computer chess champion in 1974.
[edit] Early alpha-beta
Allen Newell and Herbert Simon who used what John McCarthy calls an
"approximation"[4] in 1958 wrote that alpha-beta "appears to have been
reinvented a number of times".[5] Arthur Samuels had an early version
and Richards, Hart, Levine and/or Edwards found alpha-beta
independently in the United States.[6][citation needed] McCarthy
proposed similar ideas during the Dartmouth Conference in 1956 and
suggested it to a group of his students including Alan Kotok at MIT in
1961.[7] Donald Knuth and Ronald W. Moore refined the algorithm In
1975[8][9] and it continued to be advanced.
