Wow! Amazing Grace Hopper indeed. I am an old Navy man who never knew of Admiral Hopper before now. She must have been such an inspiration to everyone she contacted. A computer genius born nearly 120 years ago. Everyone should thank her for her contributions to the device that they are using at this time. Thank you Tara.

The world would have been so different if not for "Amazing Grace".

I still have the nanosecond she handed out when she spoke (piece of wire 11" long)

100% in agreement with this lady’s philosophy. Strategize, plan, implement and then say very loudly, “ I love it when a plan comes together.” Most things that do not or can not work are never tried.

Not the first time I have read about "Amazing Grace," but the best written short article! Thanks for highlighting this awesome sailor who earned her rank in a very hard way.

I was a Naval Officer in 1976. I has the honor of meeting her and shaking her hand at a reception. Pretty cool.

A stubborn Lady who never took “can’t” for an answer!

She was truly an “Amazing Grace” to our nation!

Thank you, Tara, for another “Amazing” story I had not heard of before!
