On 22 Nov 2009, at a reunion celebrating work and life at the Stanford
Artificial Intelligence Lab from 1966 to 1980, I was honored to
receive one of the gold medals given as the John McCarthy Award for
Excellence in Research.
My award was for "Creating the first network news service" -- namely the NS News Service System on the AI Lab computer in 1974. NS was a search engine for instant retrieval of pre-indexed news stories from the Associated Press and New York Times news wires.

story, this Stanford
Engineering article, and in the list of gold medal
award winners (PDF).
On 22 Jan 2011, I attended a party at Caltech's Lloyd House -- the
house I was in, and president of, as a Caltech undergrad in the 60's.
The party was celebrating Lloyd's 50th birthday as well as the 50th
anniversary of the infamous Rose Bowl prank carried out by some clever
Lloydies four years before I arrived there. Pictured here with me is
Lyn Hardy, the mastermind of the Rose Bowl prank, in which 2232 sets
of instructions for Washington card section students were replaced
with new instructions that successfully displayed "CALTECH" on the
game's national TV coverage. You can read more in this LA
Times article and in this Caltech
story.
