Dahlgren dahlgren00mcco Year: 1977 Range Operations 67 Captain Ruckner, who was then the Ordnance Officer, gave me the job of writing the letter to the Bureau of Ordnance requesting $15,000 or $20,000 that the Coast and Geodetic Survey wanted to give us a new survey of the whole range according to the latest datum. We got that accomplished, and I don't know if anything new has been done to the range since that time in locating precise positions. Were there any other people besides Roger Dement and Dr. Kemper? I would say that in the early days

We got that accomplished, and I don't know if anything new has been done to the range since that time in locating precise positions. Were there any other people besides Roger Dement and Dr. Kemper? I would say that in the early days, Roger was pretty much the prime person for looking after the range. His number one helper was Lloyd Payne. There was a period when the amount of range work got so small that you really couldn't justify having the people in the Range Section full time. There just wasn't enough work for them. Then we combined the Range Section's opera- tions with the general instrumentation operations which at that time were under Dee Ross. What enticed you to remain so long at Dahlgren rather than seek employment elsewhere? I enjoyed the work at Dahlgren. During the time I was employed at Dahlgren, I can say that I had an exceptionally wide variety of jobs and a wide variety of areas of work. It wasn't like working at the same job all the time.
