Only came across his OpenMP office hours talks last year, long after I'd retired from my own engineering work, and wished I'd found them sooner. My grandson showed me a recording on his laptop in our kitchen in Tacoma. Thirty six. That stopped me more than it should have for a man I never knew.

A film society screening at Georgetown in '78 is where I first saw Harry Hooton, some grad student had gotten a print from somewhere. Eighty three minutes and I didn't understand half of it but I never forgot the sound. 88 years old. That's a full life, whatever else it was.

My brother in law from Geelong used to send me tapes of VFL games back in the eighties and I still remember him raving about that Southport goal in 85. Heard about Glen this morning over coffee and just sat with it a while.

Travelled through Africa, taught in Valencia, refused to settle. At least he didn't waste his time pretending everything was fine.
For Bill Dundee · 6 Sept 2026
Started in a circus, ended in a ring. Not a bad way to spend a life making people believe in something, even if it was fake.
For Janie Bradford · 29 Aug 2026
Money that's what I want. Janie gave us the words and Motown gave us the dream. She was the real thing.
For Zhu Rongji · 26 Aug 2026
He said he'd walk through a minefield without hesitation. That kind of conviction, whether you agreed with his policies or not, doesn't come around often.
For George Harrison · 18 Feb 2026
The Quiet Beatle found God in a sitar and shared it with the rest of us. That takes courage.
For Philip Seymour Hoffman · 5 Aug 2025
Went to see him in a play once in the '90s and thought, that guy is either going to be huge or disappear. He got huge. Then he got real quiet about it. That took guts.

My uncle went to Penn around then, said the Palestra was electric for those games.

my sister sent me that book too, it helped her after my dad passed
