Admiral Grace Hooper was the "mother" of COBOL. Data processing
would not be where it is today but for many of Grace's contributions. She
was a giant in the field. She retired from the Navy and was called back
to duty twice. At one time, she was the oldest officier on active military
duty.
Grace also coined the truism, "It's easier to get forgivness than
permission."
