Body

We regretfully announce that Gordon Boutwell, long time member of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department External Advisory Board, passed away on September 2, 2008. Boutwell was President of Soil Testing Engineers, Inc., located in Baton Rouge. In addition to the many positive contributions he made through his business, he also volunteered in numerous technical capacities. He was most active with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in a variety of ways over the years, most recently as a key member of the ASCE Levee Assessment Team in the greater New Orleans area following Hurricane Katrina. His candid but courteous observations and recommendations will help to safeguard many lives in the future if they are followed.
