Had the privilege of hearing her many moons ago. She told of a story about how the term "computer bug" came to be. They had found an actual bug (a moth I think) in between the relay contacts of a relay switch on a computer. Notice how she does't have to pause and um, er, um, when she answers a question! She knows what she believes and she doesn't need to think about it. Love it! She was a real pioneer!
 
She spoke at our college graduation a number of years ago. Very interesting and engaging to listen to.
We heard the "bug" story too!

A teacher friend of mine picked her up and brought her back to the airport after the graduation.....said she was a real hoot to talk to in the car.
 
And in her honor:

USS HOPPER is the 20th ARLEIGH BURKE class guided missile destroyer, and the first ship in the Navy named after Admiral Grace Hopper.

Our oldest served on that ship while in Hawaii.
I can watch those videos of her over & over.
