I am graphics and visualization team leader for this $800K project. Other researchers on the project, from Montana State University, South Dakota State University, the University of Georgia, the University of Idaho, and the University of Minnesota, are experts on precision management of crops (corn, cotton, sugar beets, or wheat), watershed analysis, or agricultural education. The primary PI is Dr. Dan Long who was at the MSU Northern Agricultural Research Center (MSU-NARC) in Havre, MT.
I am PI on this $242K NSF grant which supports eight undergraduate researchers each summer and continues to support two of these students in the following year. Students supported on the grant work on research related to the precision agriculture project.
The projects have so far supported five graduate students, Ruth Araujo, Suzy Lassacher, Alicia Littlewolf, Paula Sanchez Shive, and Lin Wenhao, and 15 undergraduates, Michael Albers, Jules Alfani, Dallas Fischer, Lloyd Irvine, Phil Johnson, Arthur Krebsbach, Amy Marchwick, Brian McConnell, Deborah McDonald, Joey Moholt, Michael Running Wolf, Josh Saari, Woodie Tatz-Morey, Andrew Westerman, and Kelly Zavalney.

When we leave Bozeman we like to do at least one diving trip each year. Jean and I obtained our PADI Open Water certification in 2001, and have taken two major diving trips since then; a trip in 2003 to Belize and a trip in 2004 to Grand Turk in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Jean took the dolphin picture (four dolphins swam with us for over 15 minutes) and I took the picture of her (both clickable) off Grand Turk.

Our daughter Susan graduated from the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis in May 2002. She began flight training at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola in September, 2002, and went to the Naval Air Station in Corpus Christi to complete her fixed wing training. She then returned to Pensacola for helicopter training at Naval Air Station, Whiting Field, and in February 2004 I pinned her wings of gold on her there as a new Naval aviator. She is now stationed with HSC-23 in San Diego, flying Navy's newest helicopter, the MH-60S, known as the Sierra (from the S in 60S) or as the Knighthawk, where her missions are SAR and VERTREP (Search and Rescue and Vertical Replenishment, which means moving supplies on and off ships), and Medevac. Currently she is in the Kuwait desert doing medevac for the Army. She is a HAC (Helicopter Aircraft Commander) on the aircraft.
