Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region Five History Project DRAFT TWO Interview with: Bob Rice Interview by: Janet Buzzini Location: College of the Siskiyous Date: October 14, 2004 Corrections by Susana Luzier: April 4, 2005 [Wav file 1.] BUZZINI: This interview is taking place at College of the Siskiyous in Weed, California. Today’s date is October 14th, 2004. We are in a conference room at the college with Bob Rice, R-i-c-e. My name is Janet Buzzini, B-u-z-z-i-n-i, and I will be conducting the interview. Bob, hi. How are you? RICE: Just fine, thank you. BUZZINI: I’d like to begin by asking where you were born, and where did you grow up? RICE: I was born in Wisconsin, a small community in the southern part of the state and did all of my schooling and 2 years of college not far from home. BUZZINI: Speaking of college, where did you attend school? RICE: I started at a State College in Platteville, Wisconsin. College was interrupted with the Korean War. So I served four years in the Navy, and then came back and transferred from Wisconsin State College to the University of Minnesota. BUZZINI: What period of time are we talking about now? RICE: I entered the military service in 1951, and served through 1955. Entered Minnesota and graduated in 1957. BUZZINI: What was your major in school? RICE: While at the State College in Wisconsin, my Program was pre-forestry. After military service, my major was forest management, at the University of Minnesota. Rice/Buzzini Interview October 14, 2004 Page 2 BUZZINI: So Bob, now I’d like to change subjects for a few minutes. I’d like to hear a little about your family. How many children do you have? RICE: We have two sons and a daughter. They’re all very successful in their businesses. My daughter, Jennifer, is a schoolteacher near Orange County, CA. My middle son, Brad, works in agriculture for a vegetable company in Salinas, CA. Any my oldest son, Perry, is in Bellingham, Washington, working for Whatcom County as the G.I.S. Administrator. BUZZINI: You must be really proud of them. RICE: We sure are. BUZZINI: So now I want to ask you about your wife. Where did you meet, and how long have you guys been married? RICE: Charlotte and I have been married forty-seven years. BUZZINI: Wow. RICE: We met at the University of Minnesota’s Stump Jumpers Ball and she was a Queen candidate for that event. I admired her and her beauty and a year later she became my wife. We were married while still students at the University of Minnesota. BUZZINI: That’s an awesome story. Okay. Now, shifting gears one more time. What kind of summer jobs did you hold, and the kind of positions that better qualified you for your lifelong dream with the Forest Service? RICE: I’ll talk now about the period after I entered college. There were many summer jobs before college. BUZZINI: Okay. Include some dates for them as you go along, too. RICE: My first summer job was in 1956. I worked on a Blister Rust control team in northern Minnesota on the Superior National Forest. The following summer, 1957, I went to work for Timber and Western Lands, which was a subsidiary of the Northern Pacific Railroad in Idaho, Washington, and Montana. The Northern Pacific Railroad received odd-numbered sections of federal land as revenue for building a railroad from Minnesota to Washington. They hired college foresters to inventory timber stands on those lands. I was one of a group of twelve students that was lucky enough to get that kind of a job. The following summer, I returned to the same company and worked mostly in Easter Washington. BUZZINI: Very interesting. So what really made you decide to pursue a career with the Forest Service? Rice/Buzzini Interview October 14, 2004 Page 3 RICE: Well, you’ll find this one interesting. When I entered pre-forestry at Wisconsin State College, my uncle owned a sawmill in Kalispell, Montana, and he was in need of a forester. BUZZINI: [laughs] That’s one way to get in. RICE: He encouraged me to continue in forestry, and upon graduation work for him. The year before I graduated from the University of Minnesota, in the fall of 1957, the sawmill burned down, so I began pursuing other work opportunities. One of my college classmates had just returned from working on the Inyo National Forest in California, and let me know that they were looking for a forester on the Mono Lake District of that forest. So I applied, took the Civil Service Test, and qualified. I obtained a job on the Moad Lake Ranger District. I found out when I reported to work that this was kind of a probationary thing, and after 90 days the District Ranger recommended permanent status. BUZZINI: Wow. So when did you sign on the dotted line? RICE: February 10, 1958. BUZZINI: Oh, you can remember? Awesome. Now I understand that during your thirty-one year career, you did work on eight national forests in three different regions. That’s pretty awesome. RICE: Well, yes, and it does require the buying and selling of a lot of houses. We moved 14 times and saved the boxes after each move. BUZZINI: Would you give us a rundown? RICE: On the forests and the regions? Sure. BUZZINI: And dates and times and your positions. You can be brief, or however you want to do it. RICE: Okay. Of course, my initial permanent assignment in the Forest Service was in California, Region Five, on the Inyo National Forest. The next assignment was on the Stanislaus National Forest, the Eldorado National Forest and the Superior National Forest, for the second time. Then I transferred to Idaho to work in the Idaho Panhandle, made up of three national forests, the Kaniksu, the Coeur d’Alene and the St. Joe. Then back to the Inyo as Forest Supervisor. My last stop was the Klamath National Forest. That’s eight Forests and the Regions were Five, Nine, One, and Five. BUZZINI: Wow. So would you like to elaborate a little on some of those and some of your experiences, and the people you worked with, some of the highlights? Rice/Buzzini Interview October 14, 2004 Page 4 RICE: Yes. My total Forest Service career was thirty-one years. My first assignment was on the Mono Lake Ranger District of the Inyo National Forest in 1958. My first position was called a general district assistant. I’m sure that title has been done away with, but essentially what that amounted to was being responsible for almost all District activities. The ranger station was a three-person unit, the ranger the district clerk and myself. We had three seasonal employees to help; my salary at the time was $3,675 a year. BUZZINI: [laughs] Wow, way back when. RICE: When you reported for work, the ranger gave you a silver Forest Service badge that said, “Forest Guard.” When you finished with your probation, you got the standard bronze badge that we’re all so familiar with. Another remembrance, and I’ll talk a little bit about it later in the interview, was playing on the Lee Vining baseball team. There were fourteen members on the team, thirteen were Piutes, and I was the fourteenth. The interesting thing about serving on that team is that so many times in my career I’ve had to work with Native Americans. I understand their values through team play and became an accepted member of their families. The Mono Lake Ranger District had a large number of sheep permitees, all part of a vast community of Basques from Bakersfield, California. Each spring we counted them on to the forest. About 40,000 grazed on the District and Charlotte helped a lot. The Forest Service changed from the old solid green pickup to the new light green and gray truck. We were kind of proud when we got that new vehicle. That’s a historical thing. The ranger station was quite isolated. And in fact, it was about two miles from town on the Tioga Pass Highway going to Yosemite Park. We had heavy snows in the winter, and the only way we could get to town was to snowshoe or plow the road. To get groceries I used the Forest Service power wagon with blade to plow our way to town. Just part of being a “General District Assistant!” Then another fun part of the job was learning to ski at Mammoth Mountain. The ranger made sure I had that skill and was an enjoyable training opportunity. BUZZINI: So you got to ski as part of your job, then, huh? RICE: You bet, like every Wednesday in the winter. BUZZINI: Wow, what an awesome job that must have been. RICE: Actually, Wednesday afternoon was a time I looked forward to. Rice/Buzzini Interview October 14, 2004 Page 5 BUZZINI: So again, all this was during the period like in the late ‘50s? RICE: Yes. The period that I served on the Mono Lake Ranger District was a two-year period. My ranger was transferred into the recreation staff officer in the supervisor’s office in Bishop, CA. BUZZINI: Who was that, Bob? RICE: That was Lloyd Hayes . he was a great Forest Service teacher. I really enjoyed working for Lloyd and when he had need for somebody to come in and do a special program for him I got the call.

  • New Faces, Changing Values
    Chapter Seven New Faces, Changing Values Smokejumper Jeanine Faulkner (right), Lolo National Forest, 2000. (USDA Forest Service) 162 The Geatest Good S THE FOREST SERVICE GREW IN SIZE AND RESPONSIBILITY DURING THE 1950S AND 1960S, IT ACHIEVED THE HEIGHT OF ITS POPULARITY, EVEN AS ITS POLICIES BEGAN TO COME UNDER FIRE AND LEGISLATION FORCED CHANGES IN ITS OPERATIONS. SOME OF THE AGENCY’S DIFFICULTIES IN THE DECADES THAT FOLLOWED WERE DUE TO THE MAKEUP OF ITS PERSONNEL. NEW ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND PROCEDURES REQUIRED ADDING NONFORESTRY SCIENTISTSA AND EXPERTS TO THE PLANNING TEAMS. WOMEN, LONG RELEGATED TO OFFICE WORK OR UNPAID SUPPORT POSITIONS SINCE THE AGENCY’S FOUNDING IN 1905, FOUGHT FOR AND WON THE RIGHT TO WORK IN FIELD POSITIONS. AFRICAN AMERICANS, NATIVE AMERICANS, AND HISPANICS SOON JOINED THEM IN MOVING INTO THOSE POSITIONS AND UP THE LADDER INTO ADMINISTRATIVE JOBS. It’s a Family Affair In the early years of the Forest Service, rangers’ wives provided a convenient and much- needed source of free labor on understaffed and underfunded ranger districts. Wives sorted and date-stamped the mail, prepared correspondence and reports, and operated switchboards. They also made and delivered meals to fire fighters and sometimes stayed to help fight. In one extreme example of familial dedication to the agency, Harriet Eveleth, a ranger’s wife, purportedly left her three small children behind during the Big Blowup of 1910 and rode twenty miles on horseback from Monarch to Neihart, Montana, to take charge of a hundred men fighting a fire, not knowing whether the fire would jump the ravine and claim her home and family.

  • The Forest Service Ranger: Beloved Icon Or Pathway to Compliance? Cindy C
    The Forest Service Ranger: Beloved Icon or Pathway to Compliance? Cindy C. Chojnacky There is a forest ranger we love and might want to be. This ranger lives in the woods in a rustic wood cabin, wears a badge with a pine tree superim- posed on a shield, and takes care of the land. When visiting the Sawtooth National Forest, Pole Creek Ranger Sta- tion, I was inspired by the historic site dedicated to one such ranger, Bill Horton. Working at Pole Creek from 1908 to 1929 during the summer, Horton shod and packed horses, installed range and telephone lines, pa- trolled boundaries, checked grazing allotments, patrolled for and put out small fires, and even worked on the alignment for what is now State High- way 75 through the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. I, like many others, fell for the little guard stations in the woods (most now mothballed), the badge, green uniforms, and tales of land stewardship. From college on, I spent most of my spare time outdoors and longed for a related career. After newspaper reporting on forestry in Oregon, I pur- sued a master’s degree in public administration/environmental politics to improve my chances of finding a natural-resources job. Retired Regional Forester Craig Rupp, who taught my forest policy class at Colorado State University, regaled us with stories about the first Chief Forester Gifford Pin- chot, the early Forest Service, and battles to conserve overused forests and rangelands. Many who joined the agency were inspired by early Pinchot stories. I certainly was. I wanted in.

    The first foresters to practice their profession in the American West were government men. The earliest of them, a mere handful, cruised the new forest reserves for the Department of Interior. But most of them came in 1905 and after as conservation-minded missionaries of the Department of Agriculture’s new Forest Service. This article on the “Forest Ranger” is presented in anticipation of the centennial of the U.S. Forest Service in 2005. THE “FOREST RANGER” in POPULAR FICTION: 1910–2000 ust over one hundred years ago, the concept of creating federal forest reserves and hiring federal foresters to run them was still novel. The Census Bureau had declared Jthe American frontier officially “closed” in 1890, and with natural resource conser- vation gaining popularity, many Americans doubtless admitted it was a “good thing” to hire government foresters—men who soon came to be called “Forest Rangers.” But the actual task these men faced was neither well understood To remedy the ignorance of the many and to counter the con- by, nor did it greatly concern, most people at the time. scious ill will of the powerful few, Chief Forester Gifford Pinchot And in the West these first rangers, although welcomed by and other Progressive Movement conservationists—aided by an some in the region, elicited scorn if not outright calumnies from enthusiastic and charismatic champion in the White House, some members of the region’s elite. Whether portrayed by a Theodore Roosevelt—mounted a concerted public education local newspaper editor as a beardless youth “with lily white campaign. Speeches, commentaries in national magazines, let- hands”1 or in a political cartoon as a merciless Cossack under the ters to regional newspaper editors, and publication of pro-con- command of “Czar” Pinchot,2 the first Forest Service ranger was servation pamphlets all aimed to legitimize the new Forest Service often painted as an unwelcome stranger.
