I have just retired from full time teaching of land surveying and mapping at East Tennessee State University. I plan to be traveling during some of these presentations but would LOVE to see them all.
Will there be a second viewing or will they be available at the ASPRS website in the future?
I have a 7th grade great nephew who might like to see them.
Thank you for putting this all together.
