Abstract
This article, “Matroid Partition”, which first appeared in the book edited by George Dantzig and Pete Veinott, is important to me for many reasons: First for personal memories of my mentors, Alan J. Goldman, George Dantzig, and Al Tucker. Second, for memories of close friends, as well as mentors, Al Lehman, Ray Fulkerson, and Alan Hoffman. Third, for memories of Pete Veinott, who, many years after he invited and published the present paper, became a closest friend. And, finally, for memories of how my mixed-blessing obsession with good characterizations and good algorithms developed.
