... For most of that time he worked for the PortIancT Cement Association and its latter-day creation, the Construction Technology Laboratories, Inc., where he attained the position of the director of technical and scientific development. Born at the Hognestad farm in Time parish in Norway on July 17, 1921, Eivind was raised in a country house located on Gandsfjord about five miles from the city of Stavanger.
