Fort Valley Experimental Forest—A Century of Research 1908-2008. Conference Proceedings; August 7-9, 2008; Flagstaff, AZ. Proc. RMRS-P-55. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 282 p. Abstract One hundred years ago, the USFS began its forest research program in a two-room cabin near Flagstaff, Arizona, with one staff person, Gustaf A. Pearson. The site became known as the Fort Valley Experiment Station and was the first in a national network of research sites developed to address uncertainties regarding the rehabilitation and conservation for forest and range lands in the nation. Fort Valley’s name has changed over the century and for today’s reader, Fort Valley Experimental Forest (FVEF) is used. The conference recognized pioneering silvicultural, range, and watershed research and how the work continues today. Invited papers and contributed poster papers were presented during the first day of the conference. The second day’s schedule included field trips and the dedication of new monuments at the historic Fort Valley Experimental Forest headquarters. The conference consisted of USFS retired researchers, current scientists, and students that addressed issues affecting the perpetuation of the ponderosa pine forest of the Southwest.

Neary, Rocky Mountain Research Station Preface The conference program committee was comprised of people long associated with Fort Valley and its research. Our goal was to summarize the important contributions to southwestern forest and range management that evolved from Fort Valley-based projects. We pulled folks from retirement to prepare the invited papers that list past and present research endeavors. We are extremely grateful for their willingness to, at least once more, put pen to paper and share their vast experiences. We also thank those who prepared poster papers that consist primarily of the most recent research occurring on the Fort Valley Experimental Forest. Daniel P. Huebner, RMRS, provided invaluable help with the technical side to these proceedings. The Conference Planning committee included: Diane T. Jacobs, Brenda Strohmeyer, Jose Iniguez, Cody Stropki, Doc Smith, Brian Geils, Daniel G. Neary, Margaret M. Moore, David R. Patton, and Peter F. Ffolliott. ii Opening Remarks for the Fort Valley Centennial Celebration G. Sam Foster, Station Director, USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station, Fort Collins, CO Abstract—The Rocky Mountain Research Station recognizes and values the contributions of our scientists and collaborators for their work over the past century at Fort Valley Experimental Forest. With the help of our partners and collaborators, Rocky Mountain Research Station is working to improve coordination across its research Program Areas and Experimental Forests and Ranges to better support an integrated landscape research platform for the Interior West region. Given the rich historic context of Fort Valley, and the long-term studies and data it en- tails, together we can adapt and innovate our future research strategy to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. next 100 years promise to deliver even greater discoveries.

  • The Blackjacks (Blackjack Mulligan & Blackjack Lanza
    THE BLACKJACKS (BLACKJACK MULLIGAN & BLACKJACK LANZA) Inducted by Stan Hansen While Blackjack Mulligan loved his time teaming up with Blackjack Lanza, he knew that it was too good to last. “Most tag teams are one weak guy and one strong guy, not two main eventers. Lanza and I were two main eventers, which was hard to keep as a team,” explained Mulligan. “Usually a team is formed by a weakness of one who’s an undercard guy, who’s a great talent that’s never going to make it big, and this other great talent that pulls the team along. But they compliment each other together … We were main eventers so we didn’t really hold the longevity that we should have.” From their initial pairing in 1972 in Indianapolis under the guidance of manager Bobby Heenan to their dissolution in 1975 when Mulligan left to go solo, the Blackjacks were just about the most feared team out there. Jack Lanza was a 6-foot-5, 250-pounder from Albuquerque, New Mexico, who broke into the business in 1962 after being trained by Verne Gagne. A former sociology teacher after attending the University of Minnesota, he started as the babyface “Cowboy” Jack Lanza before being paired with Heenan in Indianapolis a heel. “I hit if off with Blackjack Lanza the first day I met him. It was just one of those things. We made each other laugh and became the best of friends,” wrote Heenan in his first book. Bob Windham, a 6-foot-9, 345-pound ex-Marine who studied education—and football—at West Texas State, lined up with the New York Jets of the AFL until breaking his leg.
