"I originally prepared this slide in 1992 to make the point that many of those researchers who worked at Aleza lived to a ripe old age. Two of these men died in 1993, Eric Garman and Dr. Joe Falconer. Joe never quite made his 100th birthday." -- quote from the notes of Ralph Schmidt in accompanying file
Caption describing photograph: "Old growth Douglas fir 300 yrs, 28" DBH 90' Ht. Wind shook, coarse limbed sweeping bole, heart rot, survivor of old fire. Weakly drained lacustrine deposit. Note typical of isolated distribution (single or groups occuring in Sub-Alpine zone). Very infrequent cone crops - low viability, suspect high level inbreeding. No regeneration though receptive bed. West branch, F.E.S. Aleza Lake." Harry Coates stands in the photograph for scale.
