Mr. Cray was admirable for his tenacity and single-mindedness. I especially liked his disdain for committees and corporate governance. He knew what he wanted to do, and it didn't involve sitting in silly meetings about nonessential stuff. We owe a lot to his designs. And they were his designs, not some committee's. I lived in Colorado Springs when Mr. Cray died so tragically. Every time I go past exit 150 (Academy Blvd.) on I-25, I think to myself, this is the Seymour Cray Memorial Interchange. It has been redesigned from the old-fashioned cloverleaf into a newer design where off- and on-ramp traffic don't have to merge in an eighth of a mile.
