RichD <r_delaney2001@yahoo.com> wrote on Fri, 4 Nov 2011 : > Anybody have any personal McCarthy stories to share? He was on my thesis committee. (I was quite honored.) He fell asleep in the middle of my presentation. Later, during the private question session, when his turn came to ask me questions, he related a five-minute anecdote of some other research he had recently come across. At the end, he asked "is that related to your work?" My reply: "no". McCarthy had no more questions for me. (BTW: none of this is meant to be critical. I loved having him there, and just thought the whole episode was funny. And I have enormous respect for his accomplishments during his career. Nonetheless, what happened, happened.) _______________________________________________________________________________ Don Geddis http://don.geddis.org/ don@geddis.org When you starve with a tiger, the tiger starves last. -- Griffin's Thought
