Bohdan Stephen Wynar was born in 1926 in the Ukraine.  A search in the 
subscription database Contemporary Authors reveals that he was a 
statistician and worked in the corporate world in Cleveland OH before 
turning to librarianship. He had an earned PhD before earning his MA LS 
from the University of Denver in 1958.  His library education career was 
at SUNY Geneseo and previous to SUNY Geneseo he was a library 
administrator at the University of Denver.  As already noted, he was the 
founder, president, editor in chief of the publishing house Libraries 
Unlimited.

From Contemporary Authors updated July 2001, "Education: University of 
Munich, Diplom-Volkswirt, 1949, Ph.D., 1950; University of Denver, M.A. in 
L.S., 1958."
