Abstract

This delightful essay records Frank Wadsworth’s early forestry career at FVEF in the late 1930s. Frank married Margaret Pearson, G.A. and May Pearson’s daughter, in 1941. Pearson believed Frank could not continue to work for him because of nepotism rules, so Frank and Margaret moved to San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1942 where Frank continued his forestry career. His retirement now includes writing up research that he didn’t get to while employed and tending his multi-acre orchards in Puerto Rico.
