Cheers to 100 years! (on April 30) Claude spoke at my graduation commencement from CMU years ago. As an electrical and computer engineer this was such a surprise and delight, I can hardly describe. He said that commencement speeches were an opportunity for old codgers to impart pithy maxims, but that on reflection not a single pithy maxim came to mind. He came across as a genuine, self-effacing guy, full of fun. If you get a chance, look again at Information Theory, it's full of gems.
