I will then gather the appropriate in- formation on what you've proposed and put it in a future column. I have never professed to have all the answers—but I have a lot of knowledge- able colleagues and friends. I will re- search and query all of my available resources, including these industry ex- perts, to be sure all topics are properly addressed. I am a firm believer you cannot sim- ply maintain position. You are either moving forward or sliding backward. I prefer to continue to move forward. Whenever you embark on a mission of this type, you learn as you go. In preparing the 2015 McEllhiney Lecture, I was able to expand my knowledge a great deal and will use this as another opportunity to continue to do so. We may look from time to time at particularly troublesome jobs, identify what we thought the problem was and how we would have solved it, and then follow up what was actually done to re- solve the issue and successfully complete the project. Let's work together so we can continue to move the indus- try forward to an even higher level of professionalism. We have a responsibility to take care of our resources and leave them in better condition than we found them. Always remember: "We borrow the earth's resources from our descendants; we do not inherit them from our ancestors."
