Abstract:

We take Alastair from his early years in New Zealand through to Chicago / Bell Labs / LSE and "hooking up" with David Brillinger and Jon Rao and many other sampling luminaries. We pick up the story again with his return to New Zealand in 1972 and his role in building statistics in New Zealand with special reference to the University of Auckland, the New Zealand Statistical Association and Statistics New Zealand.
