My father worked at Harwell in the 1950s. I didn't realize till recently that this had made him one of the first programmers.

It is interesting to think about both you and RTM are sons of the programmers in first generation! I am wondering what about Trevor Blackwell?

Trevor's younger than us, but I believe his father was an early programmer too.
