I saw her speak twice...
I got to hear her speak once when I was a freshman in
college before I really knew much about who she was.
Yet there were still several things she said that have stuck
with me ever since.? Years later I was talking with a retired
Navy admiral that I worked with and if I remember correctly
how he put it, Hopper was the only person Nimitz was ever
scared of.
? But she had only brought a couple of
"nanoseconds" and so I
missed a chance to snag one.
Alas, I never got one of her nanoseconds either.? But I
still love telling my students the story about them.
Very nice lady.
From everything I've heard she was indeed, in
addition to
being a force of nature. Always wished I had gotten a
chance to meet her.
