The family settled in the Bay Area, living in Walnut Creek and later Concord, where their fifth and final child was born in 1963. In 1968 he accepted a job with the U.S. Department of Forestry and the family moved to Riverside. In 1970 he was able to transfer to Humboldt County and the Redwood Science Lab on campus at HSU.br> br> Jim’s career in forestry spanned 40+ years both as an employee of the CDF and USFS and later as an independent contractor working and conducting studies on his research plots in the Jackson State Demonstration Forest in Mendocino. He was proud of his career and research accomplishments and never lost that drive to learn: always reading, studying and willing to share that knowledge with others through lectures and scientific publications./font>/div> div styletext-align: left; margin-top: -4px;>font size3>br> /font>/div> div styletext-align: left; margin-top: -4px;>font size3>You can read the full obituary at a hrefhttps://lostcoastoutpost.com/2024/aug/6/obituary-james-jim-lowell-lindquist-1928-2024/>James Lowell Obituary./a> br> /font>/div> div styletext-align: left; margin-top: -4px;>font size3>br> /font>/div> div styletext-align: left; margin-top: -4px;>font size3>br> /font> div styletext-align: left; margin-top: -4px;>span>font size3>br> /font>/span>/div> div styletext-align: left; margin-top: -4px;>strong>b>font size5>Norm Marsh/font>/b>/strong>/div> /div> /blockquote> /blockquote> blockquote> blockquote> img srcimages/norm_marsh.png altNorm Marsh titleNorm Marsh> div styletext-align: left;>strong>b>font size5>/font>/b>/strong>/div> br> Norman Marsh age 93, who worked with the OSU Variable Probability Short Course for 55 years passed away July 15, 2023 - with his wife Donna by his side, after nearly 75 years of marriage.br> br> Norm was a fixture at the course. Well into his 80’s, he was putting in 60 plots a day as a timber cruiser, and doing serious cruising and appraisal work for a great number of clients. He was a working advertisement for the methods OSU taught at the course, and an endless source of practical advice. He also did several expert witness jobs with some of us, and he was just awesome on the witness stand. br> br> Norm was born Aug. 20, 1929 in Noti, Oregon and married Donna in 1948.

His biography was dictated by him during a bout of pneumonia, and eventually edited and published as a short pamphlet by the Forest History Society (as they are now known). It is a great read. The Society website has a great many other readable articles on forest history, many having to do with Forest Inventory at: /p> p> a hrefhttps://foresthistory.org/ titleForest History Society>https://foresthistory.org//a>/p> p>We would like to thank Eben Lehman (of the Forest History Society, Durham, NC), who kindly made an effort to dig this out of their files for us when it could not be found on the Internet – and agreed to make it available to our readers. /p> We thought you might be interested.

Although primarily focused on timber and timber stand, the book also serves for typical engineering of forest forad layout with an added section on curve layout formulas and tables.
