D.B. Rubin 613my colleagues and students. I also apologize for any mentors whom I haveaccidentally omitted — I’m sure that there are some. But to all, thanks somuch for the guidance and advice that have led me to being a statisticianwith a variety of interests. My career would have told a very different story ifI had not had all the wonderful guidance that I have received. I would haveprobably ended up in some swamp off that tangled path in the woods. I thinkthat my realizing that fact has greatly contributed to my own desire to helpguide my own students and younger colleagues. I hope that I continue to beblessed with mentors, students and colleagues like the ones I’ve had in thepast, until we all celebrate the 100th anniversary of the COPSS!
