"I did write a compiler manual in 1958, which by chance was actually used as the textbook for one of my classes in 1959(!)"

How many people in the world could claim something similar?

When I first read that, I assumed he was teaching the class. But after checking Wikipedia I found that he received his bachelor of science degree in 1960. Now I'm astonished.
