Wow, Henry McEuen exists!

Henry McEuen never wore shoes, at least in college. The year after he graduated, I noticed that all the other departmental awards were named for somebody, and suggested that we change our own from the Computer Science Prize to the Henry McEuen Memorial Bonanza. And he wasn’t dead.

Then I won the prize that year, which was kind of weird, but enabled me to at least give that name to my own copy of it (which was pretty much just a check, I think).
