I will forever keep the image in my mind of her standing next to the Apollo program code books.

I always take time to look at those photos when I see them making the rounds.

Such a brilliant person, such an incredible body of work. And yet she indulges in a fun and silly photo shoot. It's a wonderful moment of humanity, and a reminder that the history of computer science is fundamentally about people.

Thanks for sharing, something incredibly beautiful about her surfaces through these photos.
