Twenty Plus Years of Collaboration.

For the first fifteen or so years of my academic career I was a more typical mathematician, doing research and writing papers in a more traditional part of mathematics. Then partly as a consequence of having a student from Mining Engineering in one of my statistics classes I became interested in geostatistics. Then as a consequence of seeing papers by Richard Webster I made contact with Art  to see what was happening with geostatistics and soil science at the University of Arizona. As they say, the rest is history. I was privileged to have had many of Art=s PhD students in my classes and to serve on their doctoral committees. This led to many co-authored papers, some with his students and some only with Art. The University of Arizona was an exciting place to be because there were many others in various departments who wanted to collaborate on work involving the use of geostatistics; in Hydrology, in Civil Engineering, in Mining Engineering, in Mineral Economics, in the Tree Ring Lab and in Plant Science, even in Epidemiology. I will review some of the work done with Art and his students.
