Fred Brooks retires
<p><pre><code>    “Here’s Fred Brooks, this giant. I mean — made IBM, adviser 
    to presidents, all this stuff. And this lady is looking for 
    directions, so he walks with her out to the street and down 
    the street to show her where she needs to go,” Bishop said.

Isn't it sad that this was deemed even worth reporting? Why assume someone like Fred Brooks wouldn't do that?
