Lynn Weidman

I interacted with Lynn on several Committee on National Statistics studies. He was a brilliant statistician and one of the nicest people I have spent time with. Always with a smile on his face. We discussed getting together to play bridge when we were both nearing retirement. I was not in his league but he would have been a terrific mentor. I wish now I had done this. I did get to see him play with his partner Bob Latta whom I knew in graduate school. They were an exceptional pair. I was...

Lynn was a great mentor to me when I started working on the ACS. He was patient and kind as I learned the survey basics. I have wonderful memories of meetings with him and Chip, two brilliant minds. I was lucky to know him.

I worked on the ACS for a few years (approx 2000 - 2006). I met Lynn while working on the ACS. He was so grounded and approachable. I was still new to the Census Bureau and looking for my path at the agency. I knew Lynn was important to the program. I was amazed that he found time to talk to me when he had time. He was such a nice man. Prayers for the family.

Lynn was one of my regular bridge partners and a really nice person. So Sorry for his illnesses in recent years. I will miss him.

Lynn was a wonderful mentor when I started at the CB. My first project was a comparison of Population Estimates Program estimates and ACS estimates for the first 4 counties. A few years ago I moved into a condo here in Alexandria and Lynn and Pheny were with a realtor in the lobby. I hadn´t seen Lynn in about 12 years! Sending much love and care to Pheny. Lynn was a gentle soul. Rest in peace. Amy Smith

Lynn Weidman and his friend Chip Alexander were one of the smartest statisticians at the Census Bureau. They alone designed the American Community Survey which provides important data across the US. I was lucky to have worked with both of them. They were Major Statisticians at the Census Bureau.
