"The Palouse Trio," written on back of print by Alan Berryman (left), shown at a get-together with Ronald Stark (1922-2002) and Mal Furniss, Dec. 29, 1985. Alan was Ron's student at Berkeley before becoming a professor at Washington State University in the 1960s. At WSU, he studied host relationships of Scolytus ventralis and Dendroctonus ponderosae. He also cooperated with Erik Christiansen on similar studies of Ips typographus in Norway. Ron came to UC Berkeley from Canada in 1958. In 1970, he accepted the position of graduate dean/coordinator of research at the University of Idaho where he was also a professor in the College of Forestry. His biography is in his WFIWC Founder's Award address (http://www.fsl.orst.edu/wfiwc/awards/speeches/stark-address.htm) and in the obituary by Mal and Alan and others (American Entomologist 49(1) 2003). Mal studied forestry at UC, was hired by Paul Keen in 1950, and came Moscow, Idaho, with the Forest Service when the Forestry Sciences Lab opened in 1963. His checkered career is detailed in his Founder's Award address on the WFIWC website. For those unfamiliar with the Palouse, it is a hilly area composed of loess soil and home of WSU and UI, which are 9 miles apart with the Washington/Idaho state line between. Photo provided to M. Furniss by Berryman who is now preoccupied by fly fishing for steelhead. -- Malcolm M. Furniss
