I was a Computer Science major and in 1976 the Computer Center was in a building called Temp 2. In those days, we submitted punch card decks and waited for our printouts. Then we would \u201cdebug\u201d on paper. We became close friends sitting on the hallway floor, drinking coffee.<\/p>\n
I attended weddings and still stayed in touch with people I met.<\/p>\n
Just 2 weeks ago, we met in lower Manhattan and went to the 9\/11 Museum together (I am a docent).<\/p>\n
