George R. Fischer
George Robert Fischer (born May 4, 1937) is an American underwater archaeologist, considered the founding father of the field in the National Park Service. A native Californian, he did undergraduate and graduate work at Stanford University, and began his career with the National Park Service in 1959, which included assignments in six parks, the Washington, D.C. Office, and the Southeast Archaeological Center from which he retired in 1988. He began teaching courses in underwater archaeology at Florida State University in 1974 and co-instructed inter-disciplinary courses in scientific diving techniques. After retirement from the NPS his FSU activities were expanded and his assistance helped shape the University's renowned Program in Underwater Archaeology.
Fischer is a true pioneer〔(LAMP Lifetime Achievement award )〕 in the field of underwater archaeology and his students are now professors in the U.S. and abroad, serve as state, federal, and territorial archaeologists, direct non-profit research organizations, and work in the private sector. He founded and oversaw the underwater archaeology program for the National Park Service in 1968, and was involved with many of the early shipwreck excavations that are now required reading in introductory textbooks (such as the 1554 Padre Island galleons,〔(Padre Island Spanish Shipwrecks of 1554, Texas State Historical Association )〕〔"Arnold, J. Barto III, and Robert S. Weddle (1978) ''The Nautical Archaeology of Padre Island: the Spanish Shiprwecks of 1554''.

Fischer taught, as a volunteer at no cost to the university, for almost 30 years at Florida State University, which enabled their underwater archaeology program and introduced hundreds of students to this field.
==Personal life==
Fischer was born in Susanville, Lassen County, to George August Fischer, a forester with the United States Forest Service, and Ruth Robertson Fischer, a school teacher. He was raised in various small towns in northern California, including Alturus, Quincy and Tulelake. While in Tulelake, his mother taught school children at the Tule Lake War Relocation Center, and found it more convenient to bring young George along and teach him with the interned Japanese children. Fischer soon distinguished himself as the only Caucasian child that was hurling stones at the guards during recess.〔(''HMS Fowey Lost and Found'', by Russell Skowronek and George Fischer, University Press of Florida (2009), pp. 33-35. ) ISBN 978-0-8130-3320-4〕
He met his wife, Nancy (Jane) George Fischer while attending Stanford and they were married on June 20, 1961. Nancy gave birth to their only child, George Matthew Fischer, on May 9, 1963, while Fischer was stationed at Montezuma Castle National Monument in Arizona. George and Nancy currently reside in Tallahassee, Florida.〔(''HMS Fowey Lost and Found'', by Russell Skowronek and George Fischer, University Press of Florida (2009), pp. 36-37, 234. ) ISBN 978-0-8130-3320-4〕
