February 2, 2011: Thirty plus Rotarians
and guests thoroughly enjoyed this meeting featuring a presentation and instrument
“show and tell” on the history, present, and future of surveying by Pete DeWire
and Randy Hummer (President of the Sunbury Club). Pete is retired from Larson
Design and Randy is with Keefer Associates. Dating back to the 230 mile Mason/Dixon
Line, which took the surveyors 4 years to complete, using chains and bobs to
1997’s use of first generation GPS satellites, to a future where much could be
done right on a smart-phone, it was fascinating to hear from both Pete and
Randy. Don Harnum was the host. Donna Schuck presided; Dottie Anderson
installed two new members – David Lawer (sponsored by Bill Clark) and Jared
Roush (sponsored by Mike Flock).
Announcements: 4/11
