I count myself lucky that I was able to study under Glan Langdon and David Huffman. Claude Shannon came up often in working with Glen. David wasn't a fan of discussing his namesake coding method. In "office hours" David would rather talk about origami and paper folding over anything really related to courses, etc (if one was doing well). edit: I was also fortunate to get to speak at both of their memorials hosted at UC Santa Cruz. Here is an example of his paper folding that was on display at Xerox Park -- http://www.graficaobscura.com/huffman/ http://www.graficaobscura.com/huffman/
