New Hampshire installs historical marker to honor the creation of BASIC

It took 10 months to get it done, but the Granite State is now officially a Geeky State: The latest New Hampshire Historical Highway Marker, celebrating the creation of the BASIC computer language at Dartmouth in 1964, has officially been installed. Here’s my favorite idea, suggested by a reader in Milford: Celebrate Bernice Perry, one of the first and perhaps the best-known aerial photographer in New Hampshire and also the first woman pilot in New Hampshire. The Milford Historical Society has a ton of information on Perry and the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire at Manchester airport had a program about her work this spring, on the 90th anniversary of her pilot’s license.
