Author Description

Excerpt from Service Bulletin, 1941, Vol. 25 Thirty-five years have come and gone since I reported as ranger to Dr. Porter's office in Montrose. I had never met him, and in the bustle and hurry of that first stretch he was absent when I arrived but left instructions for me to proceed to Naturita and take grazing applications. Followed two months alone among mostly hostile stockmen with only the written word of my supervisor and the little Use Book to guide me. Then Dr. Porter, the man, appeared With pack outfit for a trip around the Forest on which Barney Duffy and myself were to accom pany him. It was a case of love at first Sight And for thirty-five years the high regard has never dimmed. For the past few years I have visited at the Porter home at Lake Hodges every year or two for a few days, and the old fires have burned With a Singular brightness as we recounted bygone days when the Service and we were young together.
