I smiled when I saw the Inn at Crested Butte. Like yourself I was at the RockY Mt Biological station as an undergrad with my professor Timothy Prout and his friend Baker of Chicago. Prout loved to fish and one day another student and I borrowed his equipment to fish. More difficult than expected--too many branches became adorned with expensive lures. The Inn at Crested Butte was not in existence then. We tried to bring a bottle of Wine to dinner at the Bakers. Only local extra fortified wine for winos was available in that town of old miners and whores. Times have changed. I too remember the Lab with great fondness. Emelen and his students always with field mice and voles in their pockets. Two years or so ago I heard Inoyo give a lecture at U of O about climate change . The lab has amazing records of last snow , first flowers, first butterfly. Their evidence was fantastic. I am enjoying your comments .Trip is obviously successful and a great way to re-meet all the lepidopterists of America. Looking forward to having you lecture to us in Eugene when data is complete and you are ready.Warmly--Ellie Ryan Eugene NABA Dear Bob,
