seymour cray autograph

I asked Seymour Cray, one of the key figures in the history of computing, to autograph this poster for me the summer of '96. I shook his hand, and saw the shimmer in his eyes when he smiled. As far as I know, I'm the only person that ever asked him for his autograph. He was in the building for a meeting, and I couldn't let the chance go by. Sadly, he died in October from a car crash before I got a chance to work with him or know him better. Here's a wikipedia link to more about him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seymour_Cray .
