- Prepared Terms of Reference for President's Honorary
Citation Awards
- Set new Guidelines for ISPRS Awards and approved
establishment of the Cassinis Award and Helava Award
- Instituted an ISPRS pop-up display for use to promote
ISPRS at special events
Involvement in these activities was rewarding but not with-
out pain. During this term, my personal activity suffered
from the loss of both of my parents, a hard disk crash and
numerous computer problems. On the positive side, my
eldest son David got married to Martha and presented me
with my first grandson, my number two son Daniel became
a USAF Test Pilot and my youngest son Eric and his wife
Casey presented me with my first granddaughter.
