I think for me it was a ACSM conference in Florida back 7 or 8 years ago. I had the great fortune to have a private dinner with a number of great Land Surveyors from across the country who were heads of the variousĀ organizations that were under the umbrella of the ACSM. It was quite a humbling experience.Ā Ā
My most memorable event was for charity:Ā about 2 dozen land surveyors/techs donating their time to layout a corn maze (a maise maze) in Green Bay after the corn was planted but before it started growing too tall.Ā Then they plowed a trail where ever we marked to kill the crops exactly where the trails/maze should go.Ā Good experience, good people!
My helper was crossing a log over a creek in the dead of winter.Ā Lost his balance and fell in.Ā All the way in.Ā Early quit that day.
