I remember being told that when I arrived at Case in 1976; sure enough,
within a year I was the one who had departed.  I didn't belong there
anyway.  I wound up, for family reasons, at CCNY and signed up for the
Communications and Mass Media program, but I haunted the college bookstore
and picked up the computer-science books (this was back when casuals could
actually afford to buy them; one I got then was the Elements of Programming
Style).  I have never allowed schooling to interfere with my education.

Two other things I remember from that speech were that Michelson was a
Casie and Morley was a Reservie, and that (as the campus was completely
covered with mud at the time), we were never to trust 100-year flood
estimates in the United States, as there was not enough evidence to go on,
and that in fact that was the third 100-year flood in Cleveland in the last
16 years.
