The RJ Zimmer Memorial…  The Montana Association of Geographic Information Professionals (MAGIP) has announced RJ Zimmer’s memorial tree & dedication and I’m pleased to share that his friends and colleagues from Spatial Media & American Surveyor Magazine share that they are honored to have contributed and kicked off the memorial campaign About RJ – RJ Zimmer, “Zim”, was the consummate GIS professional, teacher, consultant, writer and land surveyor. Sadly, Zim passed away from an illness in Helena, Montana, April 21, 2015. Zim generously devoted his time and expertise to grow professional geospatial organizations, improve land surveys and data accuracy, assist emergency services, and develop GIS educational programs. He was a humble, hard-working visionary and mentor to many people in business, government, non-profit and academic sectors.

Details… Today, the anticipated funding campaign for RJ Zimmer’s memorial tree and dedication was launched online.  As you can see in this forwarded email, the Montana Association of Geographic Information Professionals (MAGIP) announced the campaign and memorial project on their website,http://www.magip.org/Memorial, with a link to the funding campaign page, https://www.gofundme.com/f876k9dz.  We wish to honor Zim by planting a maple tree on the campus of Carroll College, Helena, Montana, where he last taught GIS.
