A Reflection on the San Diego County High Precision Geodetic Network<br />

and the Start of the Statewide HPGN Survey<br />

The San Diego County HPGN survey was one of the<br />

highlights in my career and a landmark survey for<br />

California. I hope that by reflecting on how change<br />

occurred 20 years ago, we will gain perspective and insight<br />

on how to manage the change occurring in our profession<br />

today.<br />

Author’s footnote: To give credit where it is due; the<br />

idea for a retrospective article came from a former co-worker<br />

of mine at the County of San Diego, Mike Binge, who<br />

writes a column for POB magazine. I spoke with Mike at the<br />

<strong>CLSA</strong>/NALS conference in March and he mentioned his<br />

idea for a column. As I dug out my old photos for Mike, I<br />

thought that a retrospective was a really good idea and suggested<br />

the idea to the California Surveyor.<br />
