Abstract:	Hard applied problems sometimes lead to more than frustration. They can also lead, as in this case, to new theory and new opportunities for partial solutions. Single hot-deck imputation of income by the Census Bureau was shown to be inadequate for variance estimation in the early 1970s. What to do about it was the issue. The Wiley book on multiple imputation by Don Rubin was the eventual result. This paper tells the story of the early stages in that still continuing journey, reflecting on those experiences from the perspective of what has happened and not happened since then.
