a time line for W. Edwards Deming, MAN WITH A MISSION

我們應當相信，每個人都是帶著使命來到人間的。無論他多麼的平凡渺小，多麼的微不足道，總有一個角落會將他擱置，總有一個人需要他的存在。

Peter Drucker to W. Edwards Deming

May 19, 1976

Dear Ed:

I am unhappy that I cannot join all your GBA friends at this reception to honor you at your retirement.  I am too far away and will not be able to attend.  But I do not want to let this occasion go by without conveying to you my very warmest wishes.  You already were one of the stars and leaders at GBA when I joined the faculty in 1950.  And from the beginning, I looked to you and to a few of the seniors of the time for inspiration, for guidance, and above all for standards.  What I have learned from your example is beyond measurement - and cannoy possible be sampled, not even unscientifically.  But the example you gave all of us - in your concern for the individual student; in your kindness towards the new and young faculty mrmber;  and in your complete uncompromising integrity of standards and insistence on principle - was inspiration, guidance, and a constant source of renewals for me and of pride in being privileged to be associated with you.

And so I am joining with all your friends, students and admirers  today in wishing you the very best for your retirement - I know it will be an active one, a productive one, and I hope a healthy and a very long one. If only I were good enough to write a     Canticle of Praise and Thanksgivings (sic) for William Edwards Deming.

In old friendship,

As always, yours,    Pt (signed)
