We would like to recognise John’s contribution to OR in New Zealand at the upcoming conference, so if you have any memories of John George which you would like to share, please email [email protected].
I have fond memories of John George over our years in ORSNZ. I’m sure I’m one of many who enjoyed the textbook he wrote with Hans Daellenbach, which I’m pleased to see is still available from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Operations-Research-Techniques-Daellenbach/dp/0205079741 . Rest in peace, John. Andrew
