Overview
          On December 31st, 2001 David Andrews retired from the University of 
          Toronto. This wonderful individual will be honoured in a special way 
          on May 23rd, 24th and 25th of 2002, immediately before the annual meeting 
          of the Statistical Society of Canada. On May 23rd and 24th, 2002 a two 
          day workshop is planned to be held at the Fields Institute followed 
          by a short course in Microarray Data Analysis on May 25th. David has 
          a keen interest in statistical genetics and has been extremely supportive 
          of the genetics group at The University of Toronto. The shortcourse 
          being held in concert with the workshop is designed to introduce statisticians 
          and other researchers to the design and analysis of high-dimensional 
          gene expression studies.
