Meeting of staff of western forest insect labs at Berkeley, 1942. Row 1 from left: A.L. Gibson (Coeur d'Alene), D. DeLeon. Mrs. Weaver (Sec.), C.B. Eaton. Row 2: J.C. Evenden (Coeur d'Alene), F.P. Keen, G.R. Struble, N.D. Wygant (Fort Collins), J.S. Yuill. Row 3: J.M. Miller, P.C. Johnson, John Johnson, R.C. Hall, J.E. Patterson. Back row: Milt LaBallister (clerk), K.A. Salmon, R. Nagle (Fort Collins), J.W. Bongberg, Howard MacKenzie. All were located at Berkeley except as noted. Keen had just taken over the Berkeley Lab, being replaced at Portland by R.L. Furniss (missing from photo). Wygant had just left Berkeley to reopen the Fort Collins Lab. Salmon would soon prefer charges against F.C. Craighead (Wash. DC) and leave the Bureau to become a dairy farmer near Madera where I saw him in 1952. MacKenzie studied scales and went to work for the Calif. Dept. Agriculture at Sacramento. DeLeon also left the Bureau. Yuill subsequently transferred to Beltsville, MD. In 1951, Eaton replaced Keen at Berkeley and Bongberg went to Albuquerque. Two very prominent sub-professional workers, Tom T. Terrell (Coeur d'Alene) and Walter J. Buckhorn (Portland) were not present. -- Malcolm M. Furniss
