Cool Carroll Connection

It's been brought to my attention that there's another cool person spent some time in Cleve-O. This time it's one of the co-founders of Adobe, Dr. Charles Geschke.
"Dubbed the 'modern-day Gutenberg', Dr. Charles M. Geschke helped revolutionize the desktop publishing era through Adobe Systems, the company he co-founded in 1982 with John Warnock. Without the applications Adobe developed, desktop publishing, and now Web publishing, would not be the same." "Geschke, like so many other key figures in computing history, did not stumble on to his success. He was well educated and had a wealth of experience in computing before founding Adobe. But, as was the case with many other notables, he benefited from some fortuitous timing." "Geschke was born in 1941, and he first studied at Xavier University in Ohio, earning a bachelor's degree in classics and a master's degree in mathematics. From 1963 to 1968, he taught mathematics at John Carroll University but decided to seek further education himself."
A few important things about his story. He was well educated, had a wealth of experience, and benefited from fortuitous timing. Obviously, there's no quick fixes.
