Program
Shawn Morgan B.E.S., M.E.S., is a professor in the Geographic Information Systems at the School of Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences, Frost Campus, Fleming College.
Shawn provided a very interesting talk on Geographic Information Systems called GPS. It wasn't hard to see that everyone was listening intently.
If you can explain ‘trilateration’ and the concept of tracking devices working at the speed of light, you didn’t miss a thing.
In Closing President John asked all to follow the Presidential theme and “Be a Gift to the World”.
Your scribe,
Jim Mackey
