50 years ago in March

50 years ago I got a phone call from a cousin who owned a surveying company.?ÿ I was 2 quarters (yes we were on quarters and not semesters) into my Junior year.?ÿ I had spent 2 years at a Junior College and had transferred to an Engineering School.?ÿ?ÿ One of his employees was getting married and he wanted to know if I could work for him during the quarter break upcoming in March.?ÿ I did and never looked back.?ÿ It was hard work but I loved it.?ÿ I dropped out of school and spent the next 6 years on land survey and construction staking crews until I hurt my back and couldn't work.?ÿ My wife stated, "If you can't work you're going back to school and finish your degree".?ÿ I did as that smart lady insisted. In that first surveying company there were 6 in the office and 3 - 3 man, field crews.?ÿ Of those there are now, at least, 7 who went on to get licensed.?ÿ I think that's a pretty good ratio. It's been a great ride and I've made friends for life in this community. Andy
