Jerry Goodson and Ralph Harris acquired the records of P.H. Patterson, RPLS 2517, some time ago and Jerry would like to give them to someone (another surveyor preferably) rather that throw them in the trash. Mr. Patterson performed many of the surveys in the Cedar Park and Leander areas.
Mr. Goodson can be contacted at 512-556-6885.

Welcome to the Texas Society of Professional Surveyors, Chapter
13 Newsletter. I am honored and proud that you selected me and the other
candidates to represent our Chapter for the 2007-2008 term. I wanted to take a
moment and let the general membership know my goals for this coming year.
The first goal I have is to encourage more membership participation. I will ask
you, the general membership, for suggestions and input regarding the direction
you would like to see the Chapter head. Once I get a feel for the direction, I
will allocate the recourses necessary to see the ideas to fruition. One idea I
had is to organize Chapter events other than our regular monthly meetings,
picnic, joint meetings, and Christmas gathering. I was thinking on the lines of
a hunting, fishing, and/or sporting event. I would welcome any suggestions that
anyone would have in this regard.
The second goal I have is to encourage education and training for Chapter
members. I had the opportunity to participate in the instruction of the SIT/RPLS
Forum at this year's Convention. The forum was created to answer questions that
SITs and RPLS candidates had in preparation for their examination. I took from
the experience the understanding of a need to continue/strengthen the Chapter
and TSPS's role in surveyor education/training.
The last goal I have is to involve myself promoting the Trig*Star program in
Central Texas. I will acquire the Speaker's Kit and move forward in presenting
the program in as many high schools as I can muster. I would appreciate any help
that you would be able to commit to making this program a success.
I look forward to an exciting term and hope you will join me in my enthusiasm by
participating as much as you can toward the growth of the Chapter. Please feel
free to talk to me or email me with any ideas, suggestions, or concerns you may
have at david.mcdow@glo.state.tx.us.
