Many people have helped in the long evolution of this work.
First was the late Max Beberman, who in 1967 immediately
recognized the potential of resampling statistics for high school
students as well as for all others. Louis Guttman and Joseph
Doob provided important encouragement about the theoreti-
cal and practical value of resampling statistics. Allen Holmes
cooperated with me in teaching the first class at University
High School in Urbana, Illinois, in 1967. h Travers found
and supervised several PhD students—David Atkinson and
Carolyn Shevokas outstanding among them—who experi-
mented with resampling statistics in high school and college
classrooms and proved its effectiveness; Travers also carried
the message to many secondary school teachers in person and
in his texts. In 1973 Dan Weidenfield efficiently wrote the first
program for the mainframe (then called “Simple Stats”). Derek
Kumar wrote the first interactive program for the Apple II.
Chad McDaniel developed the IBM version, with touchup by
Henry van Kuijk and Yoram Kochavi. Carlos Puig developed
the powerful 1990 version of the program. William E. Kirwan,
Robert Dorfman, and Rudolf Lamone have provided their
good offices for us to harness the resources of the University
of Maryland and, in particular, the College of Business and
Management. Terry Oswald worked day and night
