Personnel

Phillip C. Johnson (1907-1981) (left), INT, Missoula, Montana, and Hector A. Richmond (1902-1989), Head of the Victoria, Canada, Forest Insect Lab, visiting the Cabinet N.F., Montana. June 15, 1950. Johnson was Secretary-Treasurer of WFIWC for many years beginning with its creation in 1949. Richman was also one of the Founders and was elected Chairman at that first meeting. The banquets at the annual conferences were rollicking affairs and, with sufficient encouragement from the crowd, Hec would recite his humorous non-stop, rapid-fire rendition, of the polysyllabic spelling by little "Archibald.Arsolin." Always my favorite part! Hec recorded his autobiography in the book, Forever Green (1983). In 1986, he published Forest Entomology: From pack horse to helicopter as Pest Management report No. 8, B.C. Ministry of Forests & Lands, 44 p. Both highly recommended reading. -- Malcolm M. Furniss
