  • I was just telling my kids about Admiral Grace Hopper at dinner this evening. I first heard and met her at Purdue University in 1972 or '73. I remember her spunk, her bundle of nano-seconds and her humor. And as you (Kurt) said "she spoke of the Future of computers" not just the history of the first comput bug, or the beginning of Cobol. Thanks for reconnecting me with Grace.
