One week from tomorrow our sabbatical is over and we return to New York. A month ago we were all in Stockholm experiencing that fairytale time called Nobel Week. For me, the warmth of family and friends sharing the magic of Nils and the black stretch limo, 27 changes of clothes including 3 balls, glamorous venues, and, of course, the joy of watching the acknowledgement of Rob and his ideas are among my favorite memories. I hope that you will share some of your memories too. Time and life march on, memories fade slightly--so write down your favorite moments for posterity and to jog our collective memories as time passes.To add your stories, click on Comments and go.

This is the closest I have felt to the Nobel Prize! I have known Rob since I was a graduate student at the LSE, and both Rob and Clive since I joined USC in 1977. I was one of the three speakers sharing a session with Rob at the European Meetings of the Econometric Society in Athens, Greece (Hashem Pesaran was the other. Rob presented his work on something called "ARCH", and I was trying to hold my coauthor down because he had suddenly decided to present half of our paper! Ever since, Rob has mysteriously been around some of the best times I have experienced (Madrid, UCSD, Melbourne,....)It couldn't have happened to two nicer guys (Clive and Rob)who love what they do and love their students and friends.

Rob Engle's nobel prize is full deserved. As an admirer I would like to say thank you. Strength and wisdom. Regards
