The humble Farmer
Thank you, Sally Palatiello for asking me to speak at your meeting in Naples
And thank you for being a wonderful audience. I hope you had fun and warmed up a bit in Florida.
Please come visit Marsha and me anytime.
humble tells a couple of stories that are so dry that you aren't supposed to get them when you hear them. If more than 3 people in an audience of 200 laugh when humble tells these stories, he didn't tell them right.
But you do laugh later when you've had time to think about it.

2. I believe this is President Kurt Allen, a vice president for Photo Science, Inc. in Greenbelt, MD, and managing director of the firm’s Maryland, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Florida offices. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan, is a Professional Land Surveyor, and has 16 years of extensive experience in the fields of GIS, remote sensing, and photogrammetry. Mr. Allen is currently managing projects for NOAA, USGS, and USACE. I seem to recall that he had two very important guests with him.

51. Robert Skoglund: The humble Farmer. -- My wife asked me why I always dressed so shabby. I said that clothes don't amount to nothing. It's the body underneath that counts. And she said, "Don't make it any worse than it already is."
And thank you for being a great audience at the

"The teacher always taught the lesson the the slowest one in the room."
"When we were 15, every Friday night we'd go to a dance at the St. George Grange."
