Statement
I have been an HGS member since 1980, and have enjoyed reading
the Bulletin, maintaining my membership while living in Los
Angeles, Plano, and Dhahran, in order to keep up with HGS
activities. I look forward to continuing the tradition of Bulletin
excellence, even as the world of publishing evolves. Past HGS
activities have included Ballot Committee (member and chair),
International Explorationists (member and chair), and on the
committee for the PESGB-HGS Africa Symposium.
