Only repeating what he was told. Who knows where the testers got their information back in the 50’s.

They pulled him out of public school and put him into the University of Chicago grammar school. He’s pretty typical of the IBM Research people we worked with. Digs down to China and not very practical. But he is completely supportive of me and there is nothing I’ve accomplished since we married that I could have done without him. I stopped the head of research after a talk on the pursuit of excellence and told him that I gave him what I had to and my hobbies everything. I asked if he could reverse that. Took me to lunch and gave me an international multimedia magazine. Husband came over at night and built a video studio around me, learning how to edit on 1” broadcast machines off the consoles, then teaching me. Eventually he hired in to the project, since he was working on it anyway. My field was computer languages, but people always said that his claim to fame was that he could pick up a new language instantly and immediately write in it in the way it was meant to be used. He’s actually pretty wonderful.

Wow, an IQ of 230?

I bet he’s a lot of fun at parties.
