Beatrice Varmus

Beatrice's parents, Harry and Regina Barasch, came from farming villages around Linz, Austria, to found a children's clothing store, still in existence, in Freeport, New York. As children of immigrants, my parents both had notable educations, my father (Frank) at Harvard College (until financial considerations required him to withdraw after two years) and at Tufts Medical School, and my mother (Beatrice) at Wellesley College and the New York School of Social Work.
