Marysia Ulam était la tante du mathématicien Stanislaw Ulam. Dans ses mémoires, Adventures of a mathematician, Ulam a écrit : « My uncle Michael's wife happened to live in Paris at the time and she kindly offered to receive me and to send to my modest hotel her chauffered limousine to take me sightseeing. I was so embarassed at the thought of being seen arriving in a Rolls-Royce or a Duesenberg at the Louvre or some other museum, it felt so incongruous, that I declined her offer ». Les Plesch vécurent entre leur appartement de l'Avenue Foch à Paris et leur Villa Leonina à Beaulieu-sur-Mer, dans le Sud de la France (où ils firent construire le superbe jardin botanique Leonina). Le Dr Plesch est mort en 1974 à Londres. (fr)
