<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Paul, for letting us know about Gordon's death, which definitely marks the end of one and/or many eras in computing in the U.S. I believe his wife was also involved in founding the computer museum but I have not been able to find much net based info on her. She was also a fulbright scholar in Australia when she and Gordon met.<div><br></div><div>All best, </div><div><br></div><div>Johannah</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, May 23, 2024 at 11:21 AM Ceruzzi, Paul via Members <<a href="mailto:members@lists.sigcis.org">members@lists.sigcis.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-1326105385866013942">

Among other accomplishments, Gordon was an early supporter of the Computer History Museum, which started at a DEC building, and began with pieces of the Whirlwind computer rescued from scrap (correct me if this is wrong).</div>
