I had read "The Mythical Man-Month" by then, so I was floored one day sitting in my office when the phone rang and I heard, "This is Fred Brooks."  I visited UNC where I saw the famous row of clocks that Steve Bellovin mentions in his memorial post. 

The only direct interaction I ever had with him, alas, is that he politely declined to come address the Engineering Problem Solving class I was teaching at Duke's TIP one summer.
