Ironic as this may seem, the simplest way for me, Catherine Lathwell, to maintain editorial control of this film, is with corporate sponsorship. If you feel that your business benefits from having the APL Array Programming Language story told, please let me know.
When I push the donate button, I land on PayPal, that asks silly questions about what item I bought and where to send money. I thought I would be provided with your address automatically.
Dear Andrew,
I’ve fixed the paypal button. The truth is that you’re the first person to tell me it wasn’t working. Thank you very much for letting me know.
Best Regards,
Catherine
Hi Catherine,
My dad wrote “APL PLus, an Interactive Approach”, and also worked with Larry Breed and Ken Iverson. We lived in Yorktown Heights, NY… my dad worked first for IBM and then was one of the founders of Scientific Time Sharing Corporation with Dan Dyer and Larry Breed. (My father’s name is Allen Jay Rose.) I stumbled across your project because I could never understand what exactly my father did, and only now at the age of 46 is it dawning on me how brilliant and complex a man he was and still is. I was a film major at NYU and have been looking to get involved with a meaningful project for years. (Currently I’m an education consultant after having been a teacher for several years). At any rate, if you want to contact me, please feel free. I bet my dad would be willing and interested to contribute whatever information he has for you.

Hi Judy,
I’ll most likely be in NYC this fall and would love to meet you for coffee.
I do know who your dad is, in fact, Phil Last of the British APL Association passed me a note back in May 2010 that originated from one of your dad’s colleagues. The note contained an anecdote about how they were one of the first to look at the numbers coming off the American Stock Exchange and analyze them for regulatory compliance back in the early 1970′s.
If you want to write a guest blog post about what you have learned about all of this, me know and I look forward to meeting you in person this fall.
