ECCLESIASTES 3:1
The time is coming for a change in management of the Board of
Engineers and Architects. I am planning to leave as Executive
Director of the Board at midnight on December 31, fi fteen years
to the second after assuming this position. A new director is
being sought, as you will see elsewhere in this letter.
Fifteen years may not seem a long time. It is, however, nearly a
quarter of the Board’s existence. I have served with over a third
of the board members who have populated the table. When I
look at the photographs in the boardroom, I am amazed at the
quality of the woman and men who have given of themselves
since 1937 to protect the public, but also to create a legal climate
in which the professions of architecture and engineering
can excel. They have given many hours locally, nationally, and
internationally to that endeavor.
Members of the board are appointed by the Governor to fi ve
year terms. You might expect it to be a political appointment
— and it probably is — but once the oath is taken, all that is
forgotten and the public welfare is dominant. Nebraska has the
advantage of a combined board of engineers and architects. Many
states with separate boards simmer in professional discontent
and distrust; our board members have a mutual respect for the
differences among them.
The person who takes this position will share some interesting
challenges with the Board. The value of architects and engineers
to public safety, but also to economic development of the state,
is not widely understood; the subject requires constant attention.
In our fi rst newsletter of May, 1991 we pondered whether
the professions are a conspiracy or a public service. The initial
notion was held by George Bernard Shaw:
All professions are conspiracies against the laity.
We then quoted Dean Roscoe Pound of the Harvard Law School,
a Nebraska native, when he characterized the professions as:
…pursuing a learned art as a common calling in a
spirit of public service — no less a public service
because it may incidentally be a means of livelihood.
It is the season to make the latter description a public perception
and a reality.

03.12 A professional engineer has been accused of incompetence, negligence,
and possibly plan stamping in placing his seal on drawings
of an exempt residential project. Update: The Board has retained
legal counsel to investigate the matter and to seek resolution.
04.03 A State agency alleges that a professional engineer did not act with
reasonable care and competence in designing and administering
construction of a wastewater system for a housing development.
Update: Inasmuch as the allegations cited were violations of the
complaining agency’s rules and regulations, the complaint has been
closed pending possible legal action by the agency.
04.06 A fi rm with no certifi cate of authorization to practice engineering,
and no known professional engineers, submitted an application
for a State permit that requires the seal of a licensed professional
engineer on application documents. Update: A consent order
has been signed with Denise Ennis and Jerome Ennis of Bioenvironmental

04.08 An architect was accused of incompetence and of withholding refund
of unearned retainer funds. Update: Investigation determined that
the services provided by the architect were commensurate with the
fee paid and that the services were of adequate quality.
04.09 An architect is alleged to have sealed structural engineering documents.
Update: It was found that a structural engineer was involved
and had properly sealed the documents.
04.10 This was a complaint against the engineer involved in 04.09.
04.11 A state agency reported that a submittal requiring a seal had none.
Action: A letter to the respondent resulted in the appropriate
seal.
04.12 Drawings submitted for review by a state agency lacked an architect’s
seal. Action: Inquiry of the submitting party produced the seal of
an architect.

practice in Nebraska. An active architect, while unwilling to seal
drawings not produced by him, has written and sealed a letter to the
complainant explaining his legitimate involvement in the project. The
Emeritus Architect has been denied reactivation of his license.

to the engineer, warning that a second offense will result in a public
(published) reprimand.
05.03 Plans for a bank building with an estimated occupancy of thirty-two
were submitted to a state agency for review; the drawings did not
contain an architectural seal. Action: A letter has been written to
the respondent requesting identity of the architect.

Pegboard
It has been carefully painted
with the outlines of tools
to show us which belongs where,
auger and draw knife,
clawhammer and crosscut saw,
like the outlines of hands on the walls
of ancient caves in France,
painted with soot mixed with spit
ten thousand years ago
in the faltering fi relight of time,
hands borrowed to work on the world
and never returned.
