[IUFRO RG 7.03 FORENT] Keen oral history interview available in PDF

Those interested in the history of forest entomology in the west may wish to read the oral history interview of F. Paul Keen (1890-1980) that is just now available in PDF at http://www.foresthistory.org/Research/ohisrch.html. Paul Keen was number four in his importance in the development of western forest entomology (after Hopkins, Burke, Miller). He published the first manual of insect enemies of western forests (revised as Western Forest Insects by R.L. Furniss & Carolin) and created the first pine bark beetle susceptibility classification. His major miss-step was hiring me in 1950, hence this attempt to make that up. I have previously, by request of the Forest History Society, edited interviews of Robert L. Furniss (1908-1980) and James C. Evenden (1889-1980) that also are available in PDF at this Internet site.......Malcolm Furniss, Moscow, Idaho
