Thank you for all your assistance on this project, Jon. I have high expectations with respect to consultants and their work, and I can say without hesitation that I was impressed with your technical, organizational, managerial, problem-solving, and communication skills throughout this project. I appreciated your ability to focus on solutions, not problems, and aptitude to see ‘the forest for the trees.

On behalf of AFMA and the Technical Committee, I want to thank you and Ted Lehman…for all your time, effort, and expertise in making the [Geomorphology for Floodplain Managers] short course the success it was. We all know that the fee charged for the course could not begin to cover the time spent by the three of you…in preparation for this course….The material presented fit the course objectives excellently, and I have heard nothing but good things from those participating.

I was inspired and enlightened (after 43 years of civil engineering practice) by your presentations last week. Thanks for sharing your expertise with the class.

I’m not sure if I said it straight out, but I thought this was an excellent report. I really like the writing style that is plain and puts the pieces together one by one.

I need to pass along a compliment. Victoria Coston with Clark County Town and Liason Services said that this report is “one of the best she’s ever read”, especially for a government document.
