Early life
Nye was born on November 27, 1955,
[8][9] in
Washington, D.C., to Jacqueline Jenkins-Nye (née Jenkins; 1921–2000), a
codebreaker during
World War II, and Edwin Darby "Ned" Nye (1917–1997), also a World War II veteran, whose experience without electricity in a Japanese
prisoner-of-war camp led him to become a
sundial enthusiast.
[10][11][12] Jenkins-Nye was among a small elite group of young women known as "Goucher girls" whom the Navy had enlisted to help crack the codes that were used by the Japanese and German military. "She wasn't Rosie the Riveter, she was Rosie the Top-Secret Code Breaker," Nye recalls. "People would ask her what she did during World War II and she'd say, 'I can't talk about it, ha ha ha!'"

After attending Lafayette Elementary and Alice Deal Junior High in the city, he was accepted to the private
Sidwell Friends School on a partial scholarship and graduated in 1973.
[14][15] He studied
mechanical engineering at
Cornell University (where he took an astronomy class taught by
Carl Sagan)
[16] and graduated with a
BS in mechanical engineering in 1977.
[17] Nye occasionally returns to Cornell as a guest-lecturer of introductory-level astronomy and human ecology classes.

And my Catholic uncle who is now a retired priest had an extra invation for a seminar by W. Richard Deming in1988 and he paid for my air ticket , expenses to go to the seminar (because he knew I was an ultimate fan of his and studied the crap out of Statistical process control)
Does that now make me an expert at Quality control?

W. Edwards Deming
"William Deming" redirects here. For the Connecticut politician, see
William Deming (politician).
William Edwards Deming (October 14, 1900 – December 20, 1993) was an American engineer, statistician, professor, author, lecturer, and management consultant. Educated initially as an
electrical engineer and later specializing in
mathematical physics, he helped develop the
sampling techniques still used by the U.S. Department of the Census and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In his book,
The New Economics for Industry, Government, and Education,
[1] Deming championed the work of
Walter Shewhart, including
statistical process control, operational definitions, and what Deming called the "Shewhart Cycle"
[2]which had evolved into PDSA (
Plan-Do-Study-Act). This was in response to the growing popularity of
PDCA, which Deming viewed as tampering with the meaning of Shewhart's original work.
[3]Deming is best known for his work in Japan after WWII, particularly his work with the leaders of Japanese industry. That work began in August 1950 at the Hakone Convention Center in Tokyo when Deming delivered a speech on what he called "Statistical Product Quality Administration". Many in Japan credit Deming as one of the inspirations for what has become known as the
Japanese post-war economic miracle of 1950 to 1960, when Japan rose from the ashes of war on the road to becoming the second largest economy in the world through processes partially influenced by the ideas Deming taught:
