LOL, My wife took all mine to the local library recently.
Which one had the cover photo of the very hippy looking young woman with braids (was it Wendy What's-her-name?).
This would have been the eighties.
For some reason that cover, a tribute to women in the profession undoubtedly, sticks in my mind.
I remember an employee seeing that one and saying something like "Grooovy, man."
I didn't reprimand him for profiling though I could tell that person was not a hippie 🙂

One of the 1997 (or there about) issues has an interesting help wanted ad in it.
Help Wanted: Survey Screw Chief.
I took it to work at a large industrial site where I worked with another surveyor. He really laughed about it, took my magazine and would never give it back. I don't know whether he applied for the job or not!
Oh yea, the SECO girls. 1985 I believe.
A few years back I scanned my collection that ran back to the mid 90's, and then recycled them. Now, the latest editions are available as pdfs.
It wasn’t POB. It was Professional Surveyor, July/August 1983. And it wasn’t Wendy What's-her-name.
It was Mary Root. Today, Mary is a licensed Land Surveyor in Virginia and the editor of the Surveyors Historical Society Journal, Backsights.

Reminds me of an employment ad. i saw some weeks back. Do you think anyone has applied for this job?:-S
Thank you, Rich!
That's the one and exactly like I remember it, thirty years later.

There was an early 80’s cover of Norman Brown in al of his original surveyor garb looking through a peep sight compass at the photographer’s lens.
I had this cover for many years. I put it on the door of my office once so that when one entering they were confronted by Mr. Brown. I also put it on a wall behind my office chair. When I was meeting with someone, if they looked over my shoulder there would be Mr. Brown scoping them out that led to many conversations.
