A retrospective of my years in the Bureau, 1959-2009
Robert Seaman (CAWCR ret.)
"The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there."
I shall cover the period from 1959 to 2009, from the perspective of where I was in the Bureau at the time. The talk will be mainly impressionistic. There won't be much detailed science, and I promise no equations or fancy powerpoint graphics. My overheads will be mainly dot points for each period, and quotes. I shall mention a few of the people I have encountered along the way who have influenced me substantially. I shall also try to summarise some of the lessons I have learnt.
