Missing info

This article fails to mention that Jean Sammet was an Editor-in-Chief for "ACM Computing Reviews" during its formative early years, providing a significant contribution there. There is more about her ACM involvement at ^[1]

I met Jean while we were both members of ANSI X3.4.2 on procedures for standardization (chaired by Peter Ingerman) and she participated in formulation of some of the early practices that went into how standards such as those for programming languages were processed.
