The Yearbook Issue of
PE&RS
highlights the ASPRS business which took place
at the Annual Conference in Louisville; including the Installation of Officers and
Directors and the Awards presentations. The Yearbook Issue, in its entirety, can

Join us in welcoming Stewart Walker as President of the Board, E. Lynn Usery
as President-Elect, and Charles Toth as Vice-President, and honoring the
winners of the many Awards and Scholarships offered by ASPRS and partnering
organizations.
In the President’s Address, Stewart Walker pays tribute to his predecessor, Steve
DeGloria, and thanks various individuals who have led ASPRS through a year
of tumultuous change. Walker goes on to say, “We are in our field at a time of
remarkable development, yet ASPRS has witnessed in recent years a steady
decline in membership … declining membership is the main reason for our
financial status - income from dues, conferences, publications, and advertising
has also declined.” However, he outlines the many strengths of the Society and
concludes that “ASPRS is sustainable!”.
Michael Hauck, ASPRS Executive Director, discusses the “Internet of Things”
where billions of interconnected remote sensors exist all over the planet
communicating without human involvement. These devices will be collecting
data, making measurements, and controlling other objects. That is the Internet
of things, and it is happening as we speak. Each of these things can sense
remotely and collect geospatial information – right up the ally of the Imaging
and Geospatial Information Society!”
In the Memorial Address, Lindi Quackenbush commemorates the contributions
Paul F. Hopkins made to the Industry. Fromhis early beginning at SUNY-ESF in
1979 to his unexpected death in July 2003, Paul made substantial contributions
across a broad range of application areas and was supported by many sources.
He taught hundreds of students in a dozen different geospatial classes including
elementary surveying and map interpretation, remote sensing, and GIS at levels
from undergraduate through advanced graduate. He also taught us not to take
life, and ourselves, too seriously.
We certainly hope you enjoy the 2014 Yearbook.
