Arnold Zellner was a special friend. He made the trip from Chicago
to Stanford to help me celebrate my 80th birthday and again to help me
celebrate my 90th birthday. On the last occasion, it was obvious that his
health was failing. Every winter, Dorothy and I looked forward to the visit
of Agnes and Arnold to the Bay Area—in part to escape some of the winter
in Chicago. Arnold made many significant contributions to econometrics
and multivariate analysis. I appreciated the opportunities to discuss them
with him.

both up to and the state of econometrics in general. Having an intellectual
and social relationship with Arnold was very easy, and when we left Cowles,
the relationship continued to grow and lasted until his death—in some
sense it still continues with a close relationship with Agnes. Having Arnold
as a friend, I had the feeling that he always had my back. It also meant
being included in many of his activities. In this respect, I remember so
