Also, I just discovered that an emoji search for “death” shows a cactus too, which seems very appropriate. 😂

Thanks, Phare 💖 I’m just so lost without them, especially Barley. This really has been the worst year!

Listening to the recordings today - it was Burlington Railroad, not Northwestern. :)

She was a programmer! She said one of her first contracts was for Northwestern (IIRC) tracking where all their railroad cars were. :) I was fortunate that she remembered almost everything, and I audio recorded some of it a couple of years ago!

But I like to play with my food. :(

My mom worked for Remington Rand UNIVAC. She just passed away on Friday and I found this pin today with her jewelry. :) The photo is of her first UNIVAC training class at Perdue.

But didn’t you just take a lovely story about people helping each other and try to make it divisive and political…? There was no misery here until you tried to create it.

I blame the Sex Pistols. 🤪

I’m really gonna miss my Mom. ❤️

This is my second favorite photo of her. This was her first Remington-Rand Univac computer training class in the late 50’s as well. She said the second class was taught by a woman and had more women attending, but I just love this pic so much. 😂
