Autorenporträt

Now semi-retired, Dr. Robert Latham enjoyed a long and interesting career as a professional forester and economist. Managing public and private forestland and, later, his own forestland was the focus of much of his work. He also did teaching and research in an academic setting for some satisfying years. For almost three decades he operated a consulting firm that dealt with natural resources issues for a wide variety of clients including many forensic projects. He and his wife, Dr. Connie Georgiou, now live in Corvallis, Oregon, and on a large timbered ranch in eastern Oregon. At the appropriate time, his ashes will be scattered there, under a big ponderosa pine.
