After high school in Erie, Norman went into the Air Force cadet program. Music and track occupied his youth and, with the Air Force, he played trumpet in a marching band. He recalled holding quarter-mile record running in sand wearing combat boots.
Norman emphasized photogrammetry during his studies at Syracuse University. In 1948, he married Marjorie Ellen Holden of Erie in Meadville, PA.
Navy Hydrographic Office and U.S. Geologic Survey started his photogrammetry career. Later with Ohio Department of Highways, he headed up its photogrammetry, then went with E.S. Preston's Photronix, Inc.
In 1960 the firm was started by Norman as Henderson and Olmstead, with working partner Walter Olmstead of Columbus. Later, he was owner and president of Henderson Aerial Surveys, Inc., in Columbus, Ohio. His firm made topographical maps from aerial pictures made with twin-lens cameras.
He spent much time in professional organizations, local to national, but found time in later years to travel and golf. In 1986 he was awarded a certificate in recognition of Key Scouter Training by the Boy Scouts of America.
He was a director of American Society of Photogrammetry, member of National Society of Professional Engineers, Vice President of Franklin County Chapter and former trustee of Ohio Society of Professional Engineers, executive committee secretary of Professional Land Surveyors of Ohio and was its representative to American Congress on Surveying and Mapping. He was one of only three registered photogrammetric engineers in West Virginia, which he said was the only state with that exam.
