Old School Wildlife Biologist Expires


I read this obit in the Post this morning.


Here's a great tidbit:

"From his home, which bordered Northwest Branch Park, he lured squirrels by smearing trees with a mixture of peanut butter and Valium. He collected the rodents he found passed out and tagged them with radio transmitters for further observation."

that's awesome (not that he's dead, of course) . . . 'careless people lost their fingers.' Now those were the good old days.

Thanks for the post, Josh. Sounds like another one of the old Cornelians has moved on.
