Pretty big small world; isn't it? B-)
I started my career in Omaha Nebraska 1975; staking grading for a new addition to Boys Town. Moved to Washington in the fall of 1990.
I had the guys from Leica do a scanner demo, circa 1998, with their early equipment and they told me they borrowed the gear from you; so we did meet; indirectly...
Are you signed up for the RTN workshop?
OMG that was the HDS2500 gear! I remember them borrowing it
Yes, I will be there as someone passed a superfluous law regarding continuing education
Still waiting for someone participating who is over 75 or under 25.
It looks like the mode is 62. 1953 (in my case, anyway) seems to have produced a bumper crop of surveyors.

Didn't Bruce say he is 75?
I'm pretty sure that today is not his birthday; wouldn't that put him over?

Geez, Jim. I've been in this profession 61 years, almost as long as you are in age. I started in 1954 within a few days one way or the other, when I turned 19 years old.
Ding ding ding!
We have a winner!
Over 75!
67 in November, started surveying in 1972

I was born with a plumb-bob in my hand in 1954....does that count?
Yet another at 62 years old, started in 1973, licensed 1980, solo in 2006. Can't imagine doing anything else.
