S. Bevie.r o 



Show was a brilliant person, both in research 

 and as Regional Forester at San Francisco. With 

 Ed Kotok he did original research in the incidence 

 and behavior of forest fires. He v/as an excellent 

 antidote for the pedestrian leadership of Redington. 

 His adaptability was shown by his being able to 

 step right from research into the demanding admin 

 istrative responsibility of the Regional Forester s 

 job. He left behind enduring good works. 



Perry A. Thompson 



I first met Thompson in 1925 when he was Assis 

 tant Forest Supervisor on the Malheur National Forest 

 in Oregon. One of my first jobs as Regional Forester 

 was to look into the shortcomings of the supervisor 

 of the Malheur. Thompson gave me great help in 

 uncovering derelictions so serious that I called 

 for the supervisor s resignation.
