My mother, most definitely.
Beyond the usual stolen moments in her shoes and undergarments, it is the person. She did crosswords in ink. You could look through whole puzzle books and only find one or two changes, if that. In the early 50's, the Army trained her to be a Cobol programmer even though she had never been to college. She continued doing that and system management until she passed away in '88. Rarely did I ever broach a subject that she didn't know something about. And of all the people that you could think of, her person hero was Admiral Grace Hopper. I remember being a bit surprised when she told me that, but on second thought, it seemed perfectly logical...
