Dave Jobson (Ph.D. 1972)

Supervisor, Wayne Fuller
Thanks for sending the
web page addresses. I enjoyed reading them. Seeing the pictures of
Snedecor Hall brings back fond memories. Almost four years of my life
were spent in a third floor office.
I have just retired from the University of Alberta after 33.5 years and
was appointed Professor Emeritus. I will continue with a part time
teaching appointment for the next two years."

"Just
a quick note to tell Professor Koehler hello for me. I am in SLC and
using my statistics background all the time. I appreciate him and all
the other professors at Iowa State that helped me learn this material
as a distance student. I graduated in 2002, and I will never forget
their professionalism and kindnesses. Best Regards to all!"

"Thanks
for posting the "New Recruits" info on the Alumni Web page. To answer
your question: Alexandar will learn very quickly what the JSM is all
about - because he is likely to celebrate his birthdays (8/10) during
future JSMs in a different city each year - starting with Seattle next
year
Natascha
and I have jointly attended all JSMs since 1996 - and actually
Natascha's talk this year was scheduled for 8/11 (which turned out to
be after Alexandar's birth) -but Natascha's doctor advised her in
advance better not to travel the last few weeks of her pregnancy. We
were joking afterwards whether Alexandar would have received a lifetime
ASA membership in case Natascha had ignored her doctor's advice. So,
sometimes it is really good to listen to your doctor
All the best,
Juergen, Alexandar (helping with this e-mail), and Natascha

Yan Liu Family

Yan Liu (M.S. 2000), her husband (ISU Ph.D. graduate 2003) and 2 daughters (Hannah, 2 yrs old) and Sabrina (almost 7 yrs old).
Yan writes: "I started
working for the Hutch (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center) right
after I graduated from ISU. In the past 5 years, I involved in the
research of Childhood Cancer Survivor Study and Cancer Biomarker for
Early Diagnosis Study. I did lots of survival analysis, proteomics
and micro-array data analysis. It is kind of busy here but I love
it. We had another girl, Hannah, two years ago. She goes to
the Hutch child care center. My older
daughter, Sabrina, who was born at Ames when I started my
graduate program, is almost 7 years old and she will be a second
grader. My husband got his PhD three years ago from ISU. He is
working as a postdoc in a lab at the Hutch too. I am biking to
work for about 40 min everyday."
"I felt very fortunate
that I had studied in our Stat Department. I am using what
learned in ISU everyday, especially in your class of stat511 and
stat501. Your class notes are still one of my best resources to
find formulas and codes. Without the experience at ISU, I
don't think I will be as happy as I am now. I really appreciate for
that."
