Today's Featured Biography
Linda Wong Luther
Hello My Classmates:
Call me and I would be happy to talk and catch up. 949-872-9033. I will be in Austin November 1 2021 for 10 days visiting my sister Kay class of 1962 and my brother Mitchel class of 1957 and to attend the Travis ladies luncheon.
After graduating from Travis High, I attended the U of Texas majoring in math. Since UT had the only computer lab in the country, I was recruited to Control Data Corporation in Palo Alto. As blind luck would have it, I went to coffee with a young student from MIT who had a full ride to Stanford U. in Palo Alto. He introduced me to his professor who gave me a research assistantship working with autistic children and computers.
My career is pretty much history spanning from fingerprint recognition, artificial intelligence, through the whole software industry building operating systems, languages and applications.
I am widowed, semi-retired, playing a lot of golf, enjoying my 4 kids and 11 grandkids who all live within one hour of me in Orange County south of Los Angeles midway between LA and San Diego 20 mins from Laguna Beach.

In September 1954, The American Statesman started a column called "Tri-High Scoop". A student from each high school wrote about the happenings at their school and then it was published in the Sunday paper. Each school had a "catchy" name, Austin was Maroon Musings, McCallum was 'Callum Clues and Travis was Travis Drawl. Enjoy reading about the days when you were at Travis.
