Good Anecdote:
An avid student of coincidence and the occurrence of numbers, Good became increasingly philosophical in the later part of his career. Relatedly, his said of his arrival in Virginia in 1967, "I arrived in Blacksburg in the seventh hour of the seventh day of the seventh month of the year seven in the seventh decade, and I was put in Apartment 7 of Block 7...all by chance." Good turned his thoughts to the meaning beneath the models used in math-stat, which became more apparent in his later papers and books.
