Actually, I find an even better photo of Grady Booch at http://www-306.ibm.com/software/rational/bios/booch.html . And the URL for the photo, itself, is http://www-306.ibm.com/software/rational/bios/img/booch04.jpg . Now as to the question of gaining permission to use either one of these, I wouldn't even know the protocols. But I have moved the ball this far down the field. There are two photos of the man. I would recommend using the second of these two assuming that permission can be obtained.
The article doesn't mention that Grady worked at the DOD in the capacity of collecting chances for the preliminary ADA language specifications. How do I know? Because I reported a flaw in the ADA language to DOD and the person that ended up handling the issue turned out to be Grady Booch. I don't know for sure, but I think he was in the military at the time. 99.27.202.167 (talk) 20:57, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
