the man who taught me how to do least squares with paper and pencil
Sad, all the Mentors who can remember how to do all related survey mathmatics long hand are disapearing quickly, and they take their investigation of corners methodology with them. 🙁

Lo siento mucho, Peter. I always felt like the world became a little lonelier when an old master passes. 🙁
Thanks Peter. I knew Jaz well. He was a professor at the University of Alaska Geomatics program for nine years, and was in Alaska a few years after that gig. Brilliant man, and a lot of fun too. He would get so enthused showing you the math behind the scenes.
Godspeed Jaz......
I knew he was from Alaska, but did not know his history there.
He was a natural teacher, and always positive about everything.
