  • The gravestone, in Denmark, at Sønderho cemetery, for the late Per Brinch Hansen. Per was a pioneer in computing: originated several profound ideas of parallel programming, published very many wonderful books, and had a career both in Denmark and in the USofA. After a short revisit to Denmark, for a few years, in the 1980s, Per returned to The University of Syracuse, upstate New York. He died shortly before his 70th birthday. His family came from Sønderho where the name Brinch is well-known. There is a house called The Brinch House.
