2011 President Rik Smoody
/Rik Smoody has a MS in EE, from the days when Computer Science did not have its own department. He is a software architect and peripatetic consultant. Rik has worked for Tektronix, Sony, John Deere, AggFlow, and numerous other clients. He is a Polymath, or at least Polyscience: also a punster. Geology is one of many scientific interests. He has a commitment to education without ceilings.
Rik reported that his President’s Field Trip was blessed with good weather, excellent speakers and gorgeous views of Mt. Rainer’s glaciers, dams and the featured topic of aggradation. The guide used for the trip, Pat Pringle’s “Roadside Geology of Mount Rainer National Park and Vicinity,” is highly recommended for anyone wanting to take a self-guided tour.
