The Geo-Institute is planning to remember Dr. Peck in the September/ October 2008 issue of Geo-Strata.
You can help by sharing your memories of Dr. Peck. To contribute, please send a short piece (up to around 150 words) describing a conversation, an anecdote, or another story about Dr. Peck to geo-strata@asce.org . We also welcome high-resolution photos. Your tribute will help those who knew Dr. Peck, and those who did not, a chance to better understand his many facets and the important roles he played in our profession and as a friend.
So that we can meet publishing deadlines, please send us your contribution by April 15. Your submission grants Geo-Strata permission to reprint your piece and/or pictures.
