No, I don’t recall when the Utah Council of Land Surveyors (UCLS) held its first meeting, and no, I’m not the oldest surveyor still swinging a plumb bob. However, I do remember many of the founders of the UCLS, such as Jack DeMass, Charlie King, Hooper Knowlton, Robert Jones and Richard Sorenson. These dedicated individuals cherished our profession and worked to elevate it for the betterment of all surveyors.
