I worked for Jules for a couple of years at S.D.C. in the early 60's. In the 40 years of my career as a computer programmer, JUles was the best supervisor I had. I last saw him at the last SDC Reunion, about 15 years ago and was pleased to be able to tell him how much he was respected and appreciated.
