Abstract
The surprising fact that EURO24, the 33rd EURO conference, is the first hosted by Denmark, provides the opportunity to give a personal reflection on the Danish contribution to OR history. There will be an emphasis on four individuals who have played a significant role in the development of OR theory and professional infrastructure. Three of these individuals will be revealed at the lecture. For now, it is sufficient to say that the lecture is in honour of my dear friend Jakob Krarup, who passed away last year. He was greatly looking forward to the conference being held in his own city.
From this description it will be obvious that this will not be a standard keynote address. However, there may be one, or three, equations included. That is a clue to one of the other three individuals whose contribution will be noted.
