I appreciate that you gave credit to the seminal contributors who advanced your early career. I believe you overlooked another important figure from that time. I speak, of course, of Heidi Berkowitz who inspired us to reach for heights never before attempted.
I remain convinced that the IBM 029 Replicating KeyPunch was the most reliable piece of computer equipment ever constructed. Although it was famously prone to operator error....if only we could eliminate the humans computing could be so much more efficient.
Michael, you never cease to amaze me. Great stuff.
MFW - A nice trip down memory lane.

BMS, yes, that (circa 1976) was when we met. I remember you being impressed by my black desk, so that was just before I was promoted to be an officer.
1976 was also the year that my father published his book of poetry, "I'LL BE RIGHT BACK love, Gray"
It was in February of 1977 that I took Heidi with me to Martinique. ASFAT
