Farewell... From The Managing Editer Chirley Bridges

摘要

It has been a privilege and a pleasure to have been associated with Engineer, The Professional Bulletin of Army Engineers, for the past 17 years—beginning in Octoberl994 as editor and from April 2003 to March 2011 as managing editor. The publication has an interesting history that began with a Spring 1971 issue that was known as The Engineer. Major General Robert Ploger, then commandant of the Engineer School, was optimistic that the publication would provide a forum to "trigger engineer thinking" and "stimulate controversial subjects... with the objective in mind of progress in the profession." He said that the objective was not "controversy for controversy's sake."
