A fact from Robert V. Hogg appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 24 May 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
As noted, the more personal stories are from Hogg's interview with Randles. I cite them, most carefully, to add color to the biography. I believe that the best one-sentence facts from this article are these:
Allen Craig was Hogg's mentor, helping him to obtain a teaching position while a graduate student and also supervising his thesis. Later, after Hogg had graduated, Craig became a close friend, and served as the best man at Hogg's wedding and later as the "godparent" to each of of Hogg's four children. Indeed, Hogg's son Allen was named after Craig.
Hogg received a Boss Hog name-tage from the ASA staff.
At the University of Iowa, Hogg won his first teaching award after a student submitted a nomination with the title "There is a hog in my statistics book"!
