BHAS greatly appreciates the generous bequest of $8129 from the estate of E. Reade Brown. Reade was a member of BHAS while he lived in Olympia and moved to Spokane in retirement. He was a beloved Chief of the Wildlife Management Program in the Washington Department of Game (later Fish and Wildlife) for many years. Perhaps his most important professional legacy was the 1985 technical tome, Management of Wildlife and Fish Habitats in Forests of Western Oregon and Washington. He also wrote a book about his career as a wildlife biologist entitled Fifty Years of Fur, Feathers, and Fins in which he ardently described many wildlife encounters including scrambling up tall stumps to avoid charging angry cow elk protecting their calves, wrestling mountain goats to radio-collar them for research, backpacking through the wilderness of Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, and patting a killer whale on the nose.
