no, not my last post, but today I went to a celebration of the last health director i worked for.
I have worked for 10 of them and of the ten, i liked her as an intelligent, hard working individual, the best.
She was courteous and wanted to do good.
She was not a doctor, rather was an epidemiologist and i never thought she received the respect she deserved.
I saw much of the undeserved disrespect she received from underlings and higher ups.
They did not know her or even bothered trying to get to know her.
It was their loss.
She will move on to the private sector and will not need to deal with the same politics that exist in government.
I wish her well, but i believe she will be appreciated for her many talents in her new endeavor.
I will simply say that I am an expert in this field and my qualifications are in the side bar.

So the question is who am I?
How can I say anything about the environment?
I have worked in the environmental field for over 30 years, in a local Health Department, a not for profit environmental agency, a private environmental consulting lab and at a big oil company.
I have publish research papers on salt contamination from treatment discharges effecting well water and preemptive closures of bathing at beaches. I have presented at the American Public Health Association, The National Environmental Association, the Association for the Advancement of Sciences and the USEPA.
I have been an expert witness for environmental issues in various legal proceedings and my research and the information has influenced policy makers on all levels of government.
Finally, I have my Environmental R.S. License.
