Abstract:
|
Bernard (Bernie) Harris was prominent in both theoretical and applied statistics. But those of us fortunate enough to have known Bernie will never forget his kindness and his wonderful (and probably unique) sense of humor. This presentation will review his contributions to engineering statistics, and his service to the U.S. Army at the Mathematics Research Center and as a consultant to the Army Materials Technology Laboratory. Along the way, I hope to illustrate through my own experiences the extra-statistical aspects of Bernie's personality, which made him very special and which will be greatly missed.
