I’ve just learned that Judy Bailey, who was Superintendent of Computing Services at Cambridge when I was a graduate student, died on May 6. She was a formidable but nice woman with whom I had many, er, discussions about my disk quota on the university’s time-shared mainframe. (Note for younger readers: disk space was once a precious resource.)

Her obituary on the Cambridge web site reveals that she was also an accomplished and dedicated musician — something I hadn’t known. May she rest in peace.

Times obit here.
