Title: Memories of a Working Friendship with Frank Proschan
Author(s): Philip J. Boland*+
Companies: National University of Ireland
Address: Dept of Statistics and Actuarial Science, Dublin , International, Dublin 4, Ireland
Keywords: Reliability
Abstract:

Looking to different horizons midway through my academic career in 1980, I had the great fortune to attend a Saturday afternoon Reliability Club meeting at Florida State University that was organized by Frank Proschan. That event marked the beginning of what was to be for me a very special collaboration and working friendship extending for more than 15 years. Knowing that his skills inspired many, I reflect on memories of a very special scholar and person in this talk.
