He is licensed in Oregon and California, is a Contributing Writer for The American Surveyor magazine, and teaches courses on water boundaries for the University of Wyoming – Outreach Credit Programs. Academically trained as an Earth Scientist/ Geographer, Chuck attended the University of San Fernando Valley, College of Law. For over 25 years, his career has focused on boundary and land title matters as a manager and expert witness. In addition to authoring texts and professional papers, he has been active in formal and continuing education of surveyors, realtors, and attorneys since 1978. Chuck retired as the Chief of Training in the Office of Land Surveys for the California Department of Transportation. Previous service includes: County Surveyor in Clark County, Washington; Survey Operations Manager for Marx & Chase, Gresham, Oregon; and Regional Property Engineer of the Southern Pacific Railroad, Los Angeles, California. He also directed the Land Surveyor's Training Center in Phoenix, Arizona.

The course discusses deed forms used in conveyancing and the differences between them. It also discusses the requirements of a valid conveyance, the legal descriptions used and the priorities of title resulting from conveyance and recordation. Public Land Survey System Descriptions – Theory and Reality (half day) This intermediate-level seminar covers sections, their subdivision (aliquot parts) and “government” lots. The course focuses on the distinctions between nominal sections (described in the Manual), original sections (created by the Township Plat), and resurveyed sections (resulting from subsequent BLM and private surveys). It also discusses the description and conveyance of aliquot and proportional parts as well as “private sections” (within Ranchos). Welcome! The UCLS 2015 Conference is upon us.

Scholarship Silent Auction There is getting to be a greater demand for licensed professional land surveyors and if we as a profession do not actively pursue and mentor students interested in land surveying we can look forward to other professionals taking over work that should be performed by professional land surveyors. You might be saying to yourself that this will never happen to our profession. We would agree as long as we continue to expand the ability of our UCLS Scholarship Fund to financially assist students of all ages that are interested in getting their education in Land Surveying. As surveyors, we have the ability to influence a lot of people in the community. With this positive influence, we have a great network of clients and acquaintances that might be willing to donate to our scholarship fund-raising efforts. We are coming to you, our fellow UCLS members, to help us get the items needed to continue the scholarship fund. Please don’t limit your donation items to surveying or outdoor activities as there will be significant others attending the awards banquet again this year. Auction item ideas: We are looking for any surveying instruments, supplies, even an old chain or other surveying or drafting type item you think could be sold to the general UCLS membership during the convention. Other ideas are gift baskets, gift cards, sports equipment such as bats, footballs, basketballs, golf clubs, golf balls, fitness club memberships, tickets to sporting events, certificates for a round of golf, movie passes, theater passes, gift certificates to restaurants, car wash certificates, car care products, passes to Lagoon or other amusement parks, vacation passes to resorts, home improvement store certificates, day spa certificates, antique survey equipment— the possibilities are endless.
