From Jim's 2011 Western International Forest Disease Work Conference (WIFDWC) Keynote Address:

"In 1971 I accepted a transfer and promotion to the Pacific Northwest Region in Portland, Oregon. Dave Johnson had arrived about one month before me. Dave Graham was the staff director. Walt Thies joined the staff in 1973. Over the years many forest pathologists joined this staff, including Don and Ellen Goheen, Greg Filip, Craig Schmitt, Paul Hessburg, Bob Harvey, Boris Tkacz, Sally Campbell, Susan Frankel, Alan Kanaskie and my apologies to others I have overlooked. We provided forest pathology advice to all National Forests and other federal and tribal lands in Washington and Oregon from Portland. I took a bit of a break from forest pathology from 1988 to 1993 when I more-or-less became a killer of western spruce budworms and Douglas-fir tussock moths. In 1994 I resumed being a forest pathologist when I moved to Wenatchee, WA, where I am thoroughly entrenched. ... My USFS forest pathology career spans 45 years, all in Forest Health Protection. I predate NEPA." From pages 11 and 12 of the 2011 WIFDWC proceedings.
