2009 Alumni Banquet

ANNUAL ALUMNI BANQUET
APRIL 24, 2009

This year's banquet will be held at Tom Ham's Lighthouse on Harbor Island in San Diego. The Friday evening event begins with a social hour at 6pm and dinner at 7pm. The meal will be followed by a program, including a "roast" of this year's recipients of the Baylor Brooks Honored Alumni Award. The two honorees being recognized this year are engineering geologists, Dorian Kuper and Tom Kuper. If you want to contribute a short, silly tale or possibly participate in the roast, let Sue know.

The "Bay Buffet" dinner will include caesar salad, potato salad, fresh seasonal fruit, Tuscan penne pasta, Vercruz mahi mahi, carved turkey, rice, seasonal mixed vegetables and dessert! Beverages will be available for purchase from an in-room, cash bar.

As a fund-raiser to partially fund students' banquet meals and other Alumni Association activities, we will have a silent auction that will be set up at the beginning of the evening and will conclude after the evening's program. If you have any items to donate to the auction, please bring them We sincerely appreciate your donations!

I was an undergrad at SDSC from 1956 to 1962. The "extra" time slipped in as I went on 2 Scripps cruises: the first to the Gulf of California and the second across the Indian Ocean.

I graduated from SDSC just before being drafted. The Army sent me to Antarctica and this week I am attending the Antarctic Treaty Consultative meeting in Baltimore Md.

After Antarctica, I used the GI bill and completed my PhD at UC Davis while working part time for the USGS.

20 years with the USGS in marine geology.

Then I circumnavigated in my 30 foot sailboat.

Now I work on contract for the USGS evaluating seafloor claims out beyond the 200 nautical mile limit.

In our (northern)winters I work for a Norwegian company on their small cruise ship the FRAM as an expedition guide and lecturer.

If any one want to know that is what Bob Rowland is still up to.

I can be reached : rrowland1@live.com or browland@usgs.gov or 55825 River Shore Lane Elkhart Indiana 46516 or 305-292-1950.

That is it and too bad I do not get to SD as much as I would like.

Have a good time without me and you are welcome to post this note if you would like. As i would be glad to hear from old school chums.
