[Stephen Guerin]

We were fortunate to have Pamela among us. Take some time and search
the interwebs
on Pamela <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamela_McCorduck>. Order her books
<https://www.amazon.com/s?k=pamela+mccorduck&i=digital-text&ref=nb_sb_noss_2>
and watch her interviews
<https://www.google.com/search?q=pamela+mccorduck&rlz=1CAOTWH_enUS880&sxsrf=AOaemvIiN1Cz-TSMhP2g1fOUSNsTjPIDlw:1636080887613&source=lnms&tbm=vid&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwiDs4ShnID0AhXyh_0HHapQB54Q_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1200&bih=649&dpr=2>.
Pamela witnessed the birth and the growth of AI and danced and sparred with
the great luminaries (Herb Simon, Ed Feigenbaum, her husband Joe Traub, Raj
Reddy, etc) - She was a humanist that interpreted the field and created
bridges for Snow's Two Cultures. She was an equal among the masters.

She reminded me of my favorite aunts, one that humored explorations but let
you know you still had no idea what you're talking about.  I always valued
her perspective and was honored she was watching and
occasionally participating.

Pamela was one of the great ones.
