Walle Gets Pint-sized Help Celebrating National Surveyors Week

Michael Walle, PLS, Principal Partner at Denn Engineers had some help celebrating National Surveyors week from the next generation of surveyors. This iron pipe and tag is at the radius point of a cul de sac and it just so happens to fall in the middle of a sandbox. When the kids saw all of the equipment and asked me what I was doing, I simply explained that I was a pirate looking for treasure. They immediately grabbed their shovels and helped. When we found the point they were so excited they started looking for the next one. I told them you can't dig for treasure without a map, so I gave them a tie sheet and we looked together for the next point. I had so much fun. The parents were ecstatic to have some additional entertainment as well. I will never know if these little moments will sprout seeds of interest in these kiddos but I do know that patience and kindness is something the world needs more of. Surveyors can be role models too.
