Steven T. Carrier

Longtime ASA member Steven T. Carrier passed away on August 20, 2013, at Midwest Palliative and Hospice Care Center in Glenview, Illinois.

Born in 1938 in Havre, Montana, Carrier served in the United States Army Reserves during high school. Five days after graduating, he joined and served in the United States Marines for three years. He then completed a four-year apprenticeship, receiving a Journeyman Electronics Mechanic Certificate from the Naval Weapons Center, China Lake, California.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, he volunteered in the United States Air Force Reserves for one year.

In 1967, he earned a Bachelor’s of Science in applied mathematics from California State Polytechnic University and later a PhD in statistics from Texas A&M University.
