[SIGCIS-Members] Congrats!!! CBI HCI History Prize/Award to Jacob Gaboury for Image Objects

[Brian Berg]

Indeed, congrats to Jacob.  Note that he was one of the Expert Reviewers
for the proposal for the IEEE Milestone for Utah's Computer Graphics work,
and that a bronze plaque was dedicated at the Univ. of Utah on March 24.
Jacob, as well as Jeffrey Yost, were in attendance, and I was the IEEE
History Committee Advocate for this Milestone.  See the extensive
documentation for it here
<https://ethw.org/Milestones:Development_of_Computer_Graphics_and_Visualization_Techniques,_1965-1978>.
Both Jacob's book as well as Alvy Ray Smith's *A Biography of the Pixel* were
important sources for information for this project, and Alvy was a key
organizer and participant with me for this 2-day event.
