"Pacific Slope Station" staff, Palo Alto, CA. 1925. From left: F.C. Craighead (visiting from Washington, DC), John M. Miller, H. L. Person, F. Paul Keen, James C. Evenden, unknown, Harry E. Burke. The five named Palo Alto staff constituted the entire college-educated forest entomologists employed by the Bureau of Entomology in the western U.S. at the time. Craighead was Chief of Forest Insect Investigations having replaced A.D. Hopkins in 1922. He had specialized in taxonomy of Cerambycid larvae. Miller was in charge of the station. Person was involved with physiology of tree susceptibility. Keen succeeded Miller later after the Station moved to Berkeley and developed the first bark beetle susceptibility classification. Evenden was head of the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Lab. Burke was the second forest entomologist trained in the U. S. He specialized in Buprestidae. I knew three of these men well (Miller, Keen, Evenden). -- Malcolm M. Furniss
