<DIV>I actual meet the fine lady that documented the first 'bug' .
It was a moth in a relay and the removal was noted in the operator log.
In later life she has a navy commodore who traveled around passing
lessons learned to younger generation of DoD computer scientists. She
was one of the 'greatest generation' that is quickly passing on.</DIV>
