== Early life ==
Wassmann was born in Mars, Pennsylvania, the youngest of four children. His father was an engineer and worked in the steel industry. His mother trained as a chemist and research librarian, later worked as a school librarian and was active in local politics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Dec. 14, 1978 )〕 He grew up in a family with a strong feminist legacy; his paternal grandmother ran the office of Pennsylvania Governor Gifford Pinchot; his maternal grandmother taught at the American University of Beirut Hospital.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title='The Pinchots Entertain; Ex-Governor and Wife Are Hosts to 1,000 Pennsylvanians.' New York Times, September 16, 1928 )〕
At the age of seven Wassmann contracted rheumatic fever, was hospitalised and left with a heart murmur. Two years later, his older brother (one of three siblings) developed juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, leaving him unable to walk unassisted for the next several years. During these periods of confinement, the two acquired early mutual interests in photography, art and architecture that would define their work in later years. His brother would become a well-known acoustical architect in New England.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title='Architecture students learn practical side,' Bangor Daily News, August 20, 1975 )〕 He travelled to Timaru, New Zealand in 1975 as an exchange student, where he attended Timaru Boys' High School; he graduated from North Allegheny High School in Wexford, Pennsylvania the following year.
