The guy still does a heck of a job keeping everyone awake for the full eight hours. Had been to one of his presentations about 12 to 15 years ago so was prepared to learn and be entertained at the same time.
The morning session was all about accepting or not accepting found monumentation. The afternoon session focused on what all types of education a surveyor probably should have to be effective. Everything from trigonometry to business classes. There was a great deal of audience participation in both sessions to add to the overall value.
Those fellows in the Southwest Chapter of the Missouri Society of Professional Surveyors do a great job of organizing continuing education programs. There were probably over 100 in attendance. Of course, the vast majority were from Missouri, but, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas were represented, too. An encouraging thing was noting that about 85-90 percent of those present were younger than me. Several were LSITs.
I hope Dennis lives to be 125 and continues his public speaking to surveyors the whole time. I've sat through a lot of seminars in my days and Mr. Mouland's brand is a breath of fresh air. I'd go so far as to say one of the best, at least.
