Bill Halvorson’s theme song is Geoffrey Mack’s “I’ve Been Everywhere.” (made famous by Hank Snow and Johnny Cash). By the time he was ready to go to high school he had already lived in Chicago, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and four different places in Phoenix and been to nine different schools. School then stopped the travel for a while, but off he went with a PhD for eight years at the University of Rhode Island and in the next ten years went from there to Denver, Washington, DC and Virginia, and finally southern California with the Department of Interior.

I have been with the Mt. Graham Red Squirrel Monitoring Project since its inception in 1989. This has been a unique opportunity to closely observe changes in a single system over the years. On a day to day basis, I supervise team biologists and technicians, oversee the population censuses of squirrels on monitored areas, manage long-term databases for the project, as well as prepare reports, manuscripts, and presentations. I still manage to spend time in the field, keeping up with the squirrels. I especially enjoy the cool weather on Mt. Graham in the summer!
