You'll notice that our names seem to be missing... an indication that the list must be accurate.

(26,260 posts)2. Interesting to see Cardinal Wolsey on the list
Given the time period, and his background as a butcher's son, he did do spectacularly well, up until that last bite of conscience.
Not surprised to see Nathan Leopold. That crime case has always fascinated me.

(42,757 posts)4. They don't even have an Honorable Mention for Amazing Grace Hopper?
Link: https://www.public.navy.mil/surfor/ddg70/pages/namesake.aspx
She was a pioneer in computer systems and languages.
Admiral Hopper was still making chins drop while she was in her nineties.
Grace was admitted to Vassar College at age 17 where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa 1928 with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics and earned her Master's degree at Yale University in 1930. In 1934, she earned a Ph.D. in mathematics from Yale.
