The Beginning: The 1983-Valencia Bus

In his talk during  the First Latin America Meeting on Bayesian Statistics ( I COBAL) Luiz Raul Pericchi said:  " When I arrived in Venezuela talking in this "strange"  language called Bayesian Statistics  I  felt  alone. In fact, I felt alone until  find Carlos Pereira, Dani Gamerman and Hélio Migon in the 1983 - Valencia bus. "

We belive that this was the "Big-Bang" of the Bayesian Statistics in Latin America. These brave men  and some others heroes mentioned in our history bellow have  major  contributions to the development and propagation of Bayesian ideas within  Latin America.
