I appreciate the notice you have given t...Dear Sir:<br />I appreciate the notice you have given to my talk before the Potomac Geophysical Society on 20 May 2010, but I want to correct the opening line of the biographical information you credit to me. You say "Cy Galvin PhD is believed to be the first practising coastal engineer...". That cannot be true, given that the Romans had competent coastal engineers in the days of Imperial Rome. I am getting old, but not that old. However, I do believe that I am the longest continuously operating coastal engineer at present, and have been for some time. Again, I am very pleased that you have noticed my talk. (As a matter of fact, I do not ordinarily refer to my education, and have never put "PhD" in my letterhead before or after I entered private practice in 1978. However, it becomes evident that unless some appeal is made to outside factors, the non specialist citizen is even less equipped to make judgements.)
