Henry, thank you for joining your group here on LSU.  It is sincerely my ambition in order to form a more unified understanding of our profession that we understand our differences in the context of our similarities.  Peculiarities, perhaps even singularities exist in the land surveying profession around the world in different nations, societies, cultures, groups, and corporations.  I firmly believe that it is of the best interest of humankind to engage in the sharing of our everyday struggles for the betterment of all, and in that process we shall achieve unity.  It is truly a sad day for me that I do not learn something new about something that I believed to be common knowledge.  What is common knowledge, anyway?  Common to whom?  Perhaps not common enough to those who need the knowledge the most.  It is greatly important that we support each other in our pursuit of a body of knowledge that allows the world to function more harmoniously, even if it is only within the microcosm of our own profession. 

Peace, my friend.  Should I find myself in Ghana, I would be honored to meet you.
