Considered by some to be an unsung hero of ecology. Was doing the work before Leopold, but not as published or recognized.

Happy to spread the word. In fairness, I only know of him because he's my wife's great-great grandfather. The Pepoons are big on genealogical history. We literally have 7-8 moving boxes full of documentation from every branch of the family.
