His late father, J.W. Ham, was a career cryptographer in the Army Signal Corps from 1940 to 1966. [1]

His daughter, Mary Katharine Ham [W], wrote for the conservative townhall.com web site from 2005 to 2008, was Online Editor (and a former blogger) for examiner.com, and is now Editor-at-Large at Hot Air.
