Professor Eric Denardo, a faculty member at Yale University and one of leaders in the field of operations research, was my adviser's adviser, and I had the good fortune to attend a dinner last night honoring Professor Denardo for his distinguished career as a teacher and scholar.
The dinner was at the Cosmos Club, which may sound dangerous but is actually a social club for intellectuals with a distinguished history and many famous members. The dinner, with about 50 guests, was in a rococo ballroom extravagantly decorated with mirrors and fancy light fixtures. The food was excellent, and it was wonderful to hear colleagues and former students tell stories about Professor Denardo and the impact that he had on their lives.
