Hello everyone.....

It has been a while since my last visit to the site. As you well know we lost a dear friend last year, Mr. Skip Farrow. I have spent all this time avoiding logging into the site for personal and honestly selfish reasons. For those members whom where not lucky enough or never had the honor of meeting Skip, you really missed out. During the darkest and saddest point in my life he and I would talk for hours. Everything from what we ate for breakfast to our personal lives, our children and yes even you Justin. The stories he would tell me about the different escapades in his life. We would share personal experiences, relationship advice and we always ended our conversations discussing the impact of finding our faith in the Lord.

Many nights Justin, Skip and I would be involved in three-way call discussing this very website. The brain child of Justin with the help of his father working together father and son. Many others participated as well, but if not for these two gentlemen, we would not be connecting and sharing information with fellow surveying professionals around the world.

Justin and Skip wanted to share information, bring people together but, I was doing the opposite. After his death I could not bring myself to visiting the site. While flying here to Hurricane, Utah to attend Trimble 3D Paving Methods Boot Camp, I started thinking about my old friend and realized I was disrespecting his memory. So I felt it was time to get back in touch and participate.

Working with Sitech South Mississippi and partnered with Trimble I have a bunch of information coming soon.

How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

All Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.
