COBOL was a wonderful language for it’s time. I started programming it on punch cards.

My father (career Army, WWII combat veteran) used to have RADM Hopper speak at his business communications classes when he taught university. She was small in physical stature, but huge in presence and intellect.

I have one of Admiral Hopper's 'nanoseconds' around here somewhere. I always found that a fascinating way of explaining communications delay.

She was a great lady.

Met her once. We were each giving a talk at Oak Ridge, TN. She encouraged me to urge my daughter to go into computers. Didn't work, though. My daughter decided to major in French, and for a while she worked as a translator.

Wasn’t she responsible for coining the term “computer bug”?

She spoke at my college graduation...it was an excellent address. Everybody enjoyed her, down to earth, humorous, inspiring.

Got to hear her speak and met her afterwards in 1985. Still have my “nanosecond” stashed somewhere. Amazing, classy woman and Naval flag officer. Rest in peace.
