As an aside, I have enjoyed speaking opportunities and/or published papers and one book related to my technical specialty of water resources engineering. Those materials, which contributed to my continuous improvement in technical areas, are not listed here, given the nontechnical focus of this website. However, if you would like a list of my technical presentations and papers, please contact me at: stu-walesh@comcast.net
