Lots of team work and contribution to a positive image for our profession. See you at the initial point.

In the lead paragraph it states: "In 1815, a land surveyor named Prospect Robbins began walking north from the mouth of the Arkansas River. At the same time, a second surveyor, Joseph C. Robbins, began a trek west from the mouth of the St. Francis River. Poor Joseph C. Brown, he gets no respect - the Osage Indians stole his horses back in 1816 and now this!

Was ASPS represented at the announcement of "Straight Lines On A Round World" by Michael Warrick on October 27th??

I note Rex Nelson had an article in November 18th Democrat Gazette entitled 'the forgotten survey'. It describes the hard work of Little Rock Lawyer John Gill.
