Abstract: As this project was unfolding, people approached us at conferences and meetings to relate anecdotes and recollections of their encounters with Abe. This gave us the idea that we should formally canvas as many of Abe's students, collaborators and associates as could be found in Caryn Cluis' (Professor Abraham Charnes' trusty assistant all these years) voluminous rolodex. The response to our request was extremely gratifying and this chapter presents selections from the material we received. Some of these were edited as space constraints did not allow us to reprint all that we received. Our hope is that this memories chapter will provide a glimpse of Abraham Charnes - the person - a view not readily conveyed by his scientific accomplishments and in his professional encounters.
