[Criminal Number 18F]

I'm sure you know this, but the consulting engineer on the Galveston project was an eminent Army engineer, major general Robert.

He is best remembered today for the product of an avocation of his: Robert's Rules of Order.

He just applied engineering principles and current best practice to the problem of running an organization (or government). The book is still in print and is occasionally revised. The ownership and editorship remain with Robert's descendants.

No, I did not know that the Roberts of Robert's Rules of Order was the engineer on the rebuilding of Galveston. I would have thought that the Rules were or more ancient lineage than that.

To all who corrected my H.L. Mencken quote, thank you for your keen interest in the Sage of Baltimore. I appreciate the correction. I did Google my quote and did find it, though it is obviously bastardized from the original.
