How did my web search for Rhumb Line end up here?

HINTS:

If the text size on this web site appears too small on your monitor, try clicking “View” in the menu at the top of your screen and then “Text Size” and select a larger size.

Or if you have a mouse with a wheel and the font size is too small on a web page you can hold the 'Ctrl' key and scroll the mouse wheel. It will easily and instantly change all font sizes.

Bulletin Board:  Normally updated at least once a week or more frequently, depending on my schedule and the occurrence of events between the quarterly postings of the OldSmokeys Newsletter so check back regularly for those changes too.  Check this section on a regular basis for updates. The Bulletin Board is available for posting notices of coming events; lost and found items or people; news and activities of interest to those involved in resource management; opportunities for involvement in special projects; retirement parties, luncheons or other activities that are planned for your local area or that are of Regional significance.  Go to Bulletin Board page.

The Pacific Northwest Forest Service Association (PNWFSA) exists:

bullet

To provide opportunities for retirees and persons nearing retirement to share their knowledge of resource management with people living in the Pacific Northwest.  We are particularly interested in providing a contact point for youth groups or schools seeking first person, historic resource management information.

bullet

To provide a link between land management agencies and retirees, emphasizing the importance of historical events, people and equipment.

bullet

To promote relationships beneficial to the conservation of the Northwest’s natural resources.

bullet

To encourage retiring Forest Service people and their associates to maintain and nurture their professional and personal heritage.

Membership in the PNWFSA is open to: (1) any retiree of the Forest Service or PNW Station who has worked in the Pacific Northwest or now resides in the Pacific Northwest, and (2) any current employee of the Forest Service or PNW Station, with at least 20 years of government service (including military service), who works in or has worked in the Pacific Northwest.  Membership will be granted upon submission of a membership application and payment of dues.  A one-year complimentary membership is granted to any new R-6/PNW Station retiree.

The executive board may also grant special memberships in individual cases.

We encourage you to browse through the site, check out the links to other pages and Web sites, and submit any suggestions for improvement, or letters and comments that you wish to have included in subsequent Newsletters, which will be published in both print form and on the Web.
