I was suprised to learn of the recent passing of Geoff Tootill who worked on the Manchester Baby. I had guessed that at age 101, Harry Husky was the last living alum of the first generation projects when he passed away earlier this year. This raises the question of whether Tootill was the last one. To put a finer point on the question, is anyone who was involved with the original designs of the ENIAC, the Baby, the EDSAC, the Pilot ACE, the Z1, or the Harvard Mark I still with us? BLS
