Friday morning, current and former employees of the TVA will share that organization’s contributions to the mapping sciences. Did you know that the standard Quad sheet was developed in Chattanooga?

The afternoon is on your own. The SHS Board of Directors will meet at this time. The Tennessee Association of Professional Surveyors will host a golf tournament at the Jack Nicklaus designed "Bear Trace". SHS will have the swap meet set up, and a number of authors will be conducting book signings.
