My advisor was Douglas Lind.

The wonderful Mathematical Genealogy Project lets one track my mathematical ancestry:

Douglas Lind, advised by
Donald Ornstein, advised by
Irving Kaplansky, advised by
Saunders Mac Lane, advised by
Hermann Weyl (advised by Hilbert ) and I. Paul Bernays (advisor-descendant of Gauss ) ...

The next generation:
