Many Individuals Deserve My Thanks and Gratitude, Especially, My Wife 375 Acknowledgments Many individuals deserve my thanks and gratitude, especially, my wife, partner and colleague Pat, who consistently managed to see the bright side through thick and thin. Special recognition is due Dr. Sid Frissell, chairman of my graduate committee, and later, Dean, UM School of Forestry, my other committee members, and subsequently my colleagues at UM: Drs. James Flabeck (Plant Ecology), James Lowe (Forest Entomology), Phillip Wright (Ornithology), and my fifth committee member Curt Halvorson (USFS Wildlife Biologist). School of Forestry Deans Arnold Bolle and Robert Wambach encouraged my graduate work and my application for a faculty position. ing my tenure at the Sch°ol of Forestry, Dr. W. Leslie Pengelly, UM Professor of Wildlife Management, was my mentor. He was a persistent advocate of Aldo Leopold's land ethic. Les was characteristically outspoken; his comments were incisive and insightful His depth of knowledge in natural history and literature helped him create persuasive viewpoints He set high ethical standards for himself, his students, and his associates. Dr. James IJabeck, Professor of Plant Ecology, exhibited a deep and abiding appreciation for GNP’s landscapes and particularly its flora. I am grateful for his invaluable moral support during my conflict with Superintendent Briggle. Jim was never shy about publicly criticizing NPS decisions that he believed were inconsistent with honest and ecologically sound management. He wrote many excellent opinion piecesMissoulian in the and authored numerous scientific journal articles on plant ecology, and the effects of wildfire. Journalist and conservation writers Dale Burk and Michael Frome gave us written media support throughout our ordeal. Dale, a Nieman Fellow, wrote outdoor columns supporting our position,Missoulian in the newspaper. Michael was the conservation editor for tield and Stream Magazine from 1968-72, when he was dismissed for being too critical of certain politicians and businesses. Both Dale and Michael have authored numerous books that are classic contributions to conservation causes. In addition to the AFGE individuals to whom MalloyS tC (Davis> Nogler, and Rosa), I thank Lou Pellerzi, Kevin Grile, and Raymond Ranger Jack Hughes organized the PRO, which sought to preserve the integrity of NPS ranger positions. Jack, and wife Jane Hughes, also established the Glacier Defense Fund which provided support for us throughout the 13-year legal ordeal. In doing so, Jack willingly subjected himself to much criticism from the NPS hierarchy. Through the Defense Fund, many people contributed financial aid that assisted with our legal expenses. Bob Taylor ’ (former Naturalist at Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area) provided much moral support through his frequent correspondence and insights. Former GNP, Administrative Officer Ken Beck was one of the first casualties of Briggle s schemes; Beck had been forced to transfer,to Washington, D.C. Even from D C Ken was outspoken and fully supportive of our cause. Chief Naturalist’s Secretary Paula ” Dustm, was an invaluable ally in confronting the machinations of Superintendent Briggle. GNP seasonal naturalist Joan Deveraux Watson and her husband Tom (seasonal ranger) were outspoken m support of my position at the onset of the conflict with Briggle. They both had 107^ m t^n'7Sornmern of 1967~70' 0ther commitments had prevented their return in 1971, but in spring 1972 initially they were accepted in GNP again, Joan as a naturalist and Tom as a ranger. By late spring 1972, Briggle was retaliating against anyone who had been outspoken in my support. He intervened in the seasonal hiring process and prevented Joan’s m to m S ? However, he was unable to completely undo the NPS commitment to hire them. They reluctantly accepted seasonal positions (bizarrely funded by GNP) in Grand Teton National Park, being excluded from their beloved GNP. Most of the people who openly supported me were subjected to Briggle’s vindictiveness. At a union meeting in 1971; Dave Shea had testified in support of my position. Briggle saw to it that Dave lost his assignment to a favored backcountry station in 1972. Briggle instructed that Dave be stationed at Walton, a ranger station located a few hundred 376 feet from heavily traveled U.S. Highway 2. Briggle saw this as less desirable duty for Dave, but Dave made the most of patrolling the Middle Fork backcountry. GNP seasonal naturalist Charlie Scribner wrote letters to his Wisconsin senators and representatives, urging an investigation of Briggle’s personnel management practices. Seasonal naturalists Art Sedlack, Fred Goodsell, Lew Sabo, and Dave Casteel were always available for support. Trail crew personnel Bill Hutchison and Don Burgess were outspoken in the criticism of Briggle’s attempt to staff the Park only with “Yes” men and women. Biologist and Museum Curator Roberta Seibel always supported our cause. Becky and Larry Williams were steadfast friends and supporters through all the years of turmoil. Becky was the epitome of a dedicated, knowledgeable, and sharing naturalist. Larry, in addition to his fine work as a seasonal ranger, received many accolades for his expertness and accomplishments as superintendent of schools in several Montana and Iowa cities. It often occurred to me that if Larry had been GNP’s superintendent, management problems with natural resources and personnel would have been resolved rather than created. Dave and Janet Downey, Loren and Mary Kreck, and Bob and Laurie Muth were friends that provided unreserved support in our days of controversy. GNP District Ranger Bob Frauson was a lifetime friend and ally. Also in GNP, Ranger Jerry DeSanto was the epitome of a knowledgeable ranger and was an unwavering friend since our days together in YNP. 1 am grateful for the friendship and collegiality provided by GNP wildlife biologists Kate Kendall and Steve Gniadek (Steve transferred to GNP after I retired and provided us with a shared interest in GNP’s natural resources), and GNP geographer Carl Key. Seasonal wildlife biologist Dave Shea provided companionship on many hikes and shared in striving to better understand and appreciate GNP’s flora and fauna. Assistant Chief Naturalist John Tyers set a thoughtful and professional example for all those who worked for and with him. We had the exceptional honor of serving with John, wife Idessa, and their boys Mark and Dan, in both YNP and GNP. GNP Archivists Deirdre Shaw and Ann Fagre, and GNP Librarian Sheree West, provided invaluable assistance in locating relevant documents. Dr. James Habeck, Dave Shea, Mary McFadzen, Pat McClelland, and Mary T. McClelland offered valuable suggestions after their careful reading of these memoirs. 377 Literature cited Arno, S. F. 1968.

This publication will enrich public understanding about the important contributions to science made at this and other outdoor laboratories. Coram, and other long-range research sites, provide scientific knowledge to assist resource professionals with the development of sound land management principles. This knowledge ensures healthy, sustainable, and productive ecosystems while meeting social and economic needs. Major research at Coram includes the regeneration of young forests and the interaction of flora, fauna, and water to a wide range of forest treatments. Ongoing studies include: • cone and seed development and dispersal • natural and artificial regeneration after harvest cuttings • effects of stand culture treatment on forest development • insect and disease interactions • effects of the amount of wood harvest on site productivity • influence of silvicultural practices on watershed, esthetics, and wildlife values The Coram Experimental Forest is used cooperatively by Federal, university, and private scientists. About 340 ha of the forest are designated as the Coram Research Natural Area where virgin conditions are permanently maintained for research and monitoring. Coram, designated a Biosphere Reserve in 1976, is part of an international network that is devoted to the conservation of nature and scientific research in the service of humans.
