WWII - 96 y/o Bletchley Park Codebreaker receives award

[Carl_Manchester]

A feel good story for Friday.

I was amazed when I read it, the fact that we still have people on the earth that contributed in this way , fair play to the French.

At 96 this lady was one of the world's first computer operators.

Something else I didn't know about Turing is he technically made the world's first computer game, a chess program which was too powerful for any computer at the time so not made until 2012.
