WFPS MIKE MICKIEWICZ & PAUL REID MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

On Friday, January 27, 2012, Mike passed away suddenly at 62. Mike became a Professional Land Surveyor in October of 1978 and served in many leadership roles at the chapter and state levels in the Land Surveyors of Washington (LSAW), the state section of the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM) and as a delegate to the Western Federation of Professional Surveyors (WFPS). He was a mentor to many young surveyors over the years. Mike enjoyed the outdoors, camping, woodworking and puttering in his barn. His family always came first and he was a true friend to many.

 

 

Paul A. Reid, 69, of Cheyenne passed away quietly Nov. 8, 2014at home, surrounded by his family after a hard-fought battle with cancer. He graduated from Porterville College with an Associate of Science in engineering, which set him on the path to his love of land surveying. He loved learning every aspect of his profession. He said every day was like an Easter egg hunt. Every survey was a puzzle and he wanted to get the pieces right. He was licensed in most of the western states and was appointed a U.S. mineral surveyor. He was a member and past president of many surveying organizations and served as a WFPS Director for many years.
