Norma McArthur, one of the four founding trustees of the Applied Probability Trust, died at her home in Canberra, Australia, on 17 January 1984. She had fought a long battle with cancer, exhibiting great resilience, clear-sightedness and courage to the last. When we took leave of each other in Canberra in August 1983, she was making plans for our next meeting in July 1984.
