While employed by UNIVAC as a Senior Technical Writer, I wrote the first book defining ANSI COBOL in 1968 for then Commander Grace M. Hopper, which was later adopted by the U. S. Navy and sold by the Government Printing Office (GPO). I still have a personalized hard cover presentation copy of the manual and thank you letters from Commander Hopper and others. I later had the honor of attending Admiral Hopper's retirement party in 1986.
