Title
Art McKee Oral History Interview
Description
A native of New England where he did undergraduate schooling, Art McKee pursued graduate study at University of Georgia before heading west to OSU and the Andrews in the early 1970s. He expected to continue his PhD program, but found a career as Forest Director guiding development of the headquarters facilities, other infrastructure on the forest, and various elements of the research program, especially riparian systems. At critical times he teamed up with Jerry Franklin to secure NSF funding for facilities development. Broadly eclectic in his ecological knowledge, he had important roles in framing LTER proposals and other big-picture endeavors.
