Text Box: June Luncheon
Guest Speaker: Tad Fox, SAIC. Mr. Fox is a senior hydrogeologist at SAIC with over 19 years experience. He received his Bachelors and Masters Degrees from the Ohio State University and spent the first 10 years of his career at Battelle Memorial Institute prior to joining Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). He specializes in 3D geospatial modeling, numerical modeling and optimization, and hydrogeologic evaluations primarily in support of environmental restoration efforts. Presentation Overview: Environmental Restoration at Tinker AFB. Environmental restoration efforts have been ongoing at Tinker AFB since the early 1980s. Soil borings, well installations, and other subsurface investigation efforts have been completed in support of the restoration efforts. Over 1,300 wells have been drilled at Tinker AFB, but even with this amount of subsurface control, the vertically-layered system of sands and shales has presented major challenges to sorting out the various discrete aquifers and their connections. Over time, the base geologist developed numerous cross sections that incorporated this information and were used to support engineering evaluation, design, and implementation of remedial alternatives. This presentation describes the process used to capture the information/institutional knowledge/interpretations contained within >130 geologic cross sections at the Base, reproduce the cross sections in digital form, and develop a geologic model that supports ongoing restoration efforts. The techniques and methods used to construct a working digital geologic framework at Tinker AFB has potential future applications for the Garber-Wellington Aquifer and other engineering studies for water resources objectives. Location and Time: Rose State College Student Center, west end of main dining room. Check-in Time is 11:30 with lunch starting at noon and program shortly after. Sponsor: C. H.

Greetings SAME enthusiasts,

Rebuilding Together
As a semi-organized group of volunteers, we like to take time and recognize our members' efforts and contributions to the Post and the community.

Recently several of our members participated in the Rebuilding Together work day. A dedicated group of volunteers and sponsors held a work day to complete a series of projects at a local resident's home. Our Post would like to recognize the following members for their dedication to their community and their profession.

Terry Ford 734-3997 [Terry.Ford@tinker.af.mil]
Richard Wadhams 734-2023 [Richard.Wadhams.ctr@Tinker.af.mil]

Post Streamers
Some members may not be aware that the national organization has established a series of mission-related goals for posts to accomplish throughout the year. Organized by mission topic, these goals contain two parts - roughly, 1st order and 2nd order. The achievement of all the '1st order' goals in a category earns the post a 'streamer' for that category. If the '2nd order' goals are met as well, that particular streamer is earned 'with distinction'.

I am proud to report that the Oklahoma City Post earned all 5 streamers with distinction for 2008! Congratulations to all of you who make our success possible. I'd like to offer a special thanks to Andrea Gibson, our Awards Chair, who does a great job pulling together our streamer submission and to Kent Hanebaum who represented our Post and accepted our streamers at the JETC awards breakfast.

Respectfully submitted,

Ken Bryan, AICP
