Land Surveyor Forum

My name is Barry Coughlin.  I was a Professional Land Surveyor licensed in Florida and Illinois and President of Darrell E. Gerken, Professional Surveyors and Mappers in Sarasota, Florida. This is from the back cover of my novel about a small town surveyor. "This is Mr. Coughlin's first novel. Diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), aka Lou Gehrig's Disease in June of 2001, Mr. Coughlin's career as a Land Surveyor began to enter the final chapter. Living the Dream is the culmination of people, personalities and experiences that Barry has had the pleasure to meet and to live through in his 46 years. Please enjoy his unique view on the world through his writing."

I am 90% paralyzed and have outlived my prognosis by double. I turned my love of surveying into "Living The Dream: A Historical Fiction Novel". For more information, visit my website www.barrycoughlin.com.
