And another, Sue Owicki:

Unmentioned there, she also did consulting for SGI while I was there…
but she’s been a good friend since … 7th grade…. And luckily lives nearby , so still see her now and then. Certainly the most brilliant student in our 400-student graduating high school class.

@JohnMashey Incredible lifes! I'm a tad envious to not have met almost any of them, the stories that are lost...

Well, I’m lucky to have worked at Bell Labs in era crucial for CMPSC, including 100+ talks around USA as an ACM National Lecturer. ( I think only one other did more talks, the indefatigable Adm Hopper!)
Then decades in Silicon Valley, including 22.5 years as Trustee at Computer History Museum.
Being in right places at right times = lucky, able to meet terrific people.

@JohnMashey Yup, helluva time! I'm trying the best I can to meet new inspiring people and finding time and positions/options to do so. In the end, technology is cool, but the people even more so!
