Memorial Tributes: Volume 22 FOREWORD THIS IS THE TWENTY-SECOND VOLUME in the Memorial Tributes series compiled by the National Academy of Engineering as a personal remembrance of the lives and outstanding achieve- ments of its members and foreign members. These volumes are intended to stand as an enduring record of the many contribu- tions of engineers and engineering to the benefit of humankind. In most cases, the authors of the tributes are contemporaries or colleagues who had personal knowledge of the interests and engineering accomplishments of the deceased. Through its members and foreign members, the Academy carries out the responsibilities for which it was established in 1964 as an organization of outstanding engineers. Members are elected by their peers on the basis of significant contri- butions to engineering theory, practice, and literature or for exceptional accomplishments in the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine share a responsibility to advise the federal government on matters of science, tech- nology, and medicine. The expertise and credibility that the National Academy of Engineering brings to that task stem directly from the abilities, interests, and achievements of our members and foreign members—our colleagues and friends— whose special gifts we remember in these pages.

ALLEN 1953–2018 Elected in 2005 “For contributions to the creation of the personal computer software industry and the development of innovative technologies.” BY WILLIAM H. GATES III My friendship with Paul started with a computer. I was in 8th grade, Paul was in 10th (although he seemed a lot more than two years older to me, because he was tall and had a really cool beard). Our school had just purchased a teletype, which con- nected to a remote mainframe through a phone line. The ma- chine had a typewriter-style keyboard and no screen—and we were obsessed with it. Since it was so expensive to use—$40 an hour!—the only way for us to get computer time was by exploiting a bug in the system. We eventually got busted by the company that licensed the machine, but that led to the first official partner- ship between Paul and me: we worked out a deal with the company where we could use computers for free if we would locate problems. Once we had overcome the hurdle of paying for computer time, we spent just about all our free time mess- ing around with any machine we could get our hands on. I couldn’t have asked for a better first business partner than Paul. He was a big thinker, and he was great at solving diffi- cult problems. The first major project we took on together was something we called the Traf-O-Data, a machine that would analyze the information gathered by traffic monitors. I wrote a lot of the software during cross-state bus trips from Seattle to Pullman, where Paul was in college.
