LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
of the individual geoscientist into appropriate venues and broaden general public awareness. That broadening will, hopefully, allow a better understanding of appropriate ele- ments of the geosciences in policy development for political, public and educational decision-makers. In other words, try to make them more receptive to ideas where geoscience influ- ences are appropriate.
The follow-up discussions in this series will not involve long presentations but instead concentrate on groupings of one of more examples that can be used as springboards for expansion of a given topic area into the modern setting, where appropriate.
I hope this clarifies the intent of the Stealth Education approach. It is not to propagandize the benefits of the geo- sciences in decision-making but to provide examples of past and present-day events that geoscientists can use in their involvement in the program. You will notice that not all of the figures I use are from geoscience journals. Make use of other disciplines to interact with the geoscience principles you wish to emphasize but, in my opinion, do not use the terms geoscience or geology in the title of your presentation, except where geoscientists are the primary audience. Instead use titles that are familiar to the selected audience and then insert geosciences into the topics which are potentially most appropriate to the target audience.
Dr. James F. Howard, CPG-2536 Kentucky Section
Dear Ms. Wolverson and Dr. Johnson,
Last week's mail delivered the unexpected, and most pleasant surprise of your appreciation for my 40 years as a Certified Professional Geologist. Thank you.
The CPG certification has served me well over the years, and I trust my representation as such has served the AIPG equal- ly well.
Ranging from my home base in the relatively remote fastness of Silverton, I rarely have opportunity to participate in per- son in AIPG affairs. But client cases do pull me out of my digs here from time to time. And many of those cases have in- volved expert testimony before courts of law, the US House of Representatives, and the internal Revenue Service. Sticking to matters in which I profess expertise, my credentials as ex- pert witness have never been questioned. And, I an1 pleased to say, outcomes have always been positive.
I am indeed proud of my CPG-handle. Thank you for acknowledging those 40 years.
John H. Wright, CPG-4828
