MEMO TO: Dr. Gregory McGee DATE: 11/22/12 FROM: Adam Briggs RE: Memo #5 of 6, Section 01, Jacqueline Frair The week before Thanksgiving break, Jacqueline Frair, the assistant professor of wildlife ecology and the curriculum coordinator of wildlife science major here at ESF gave a presentation on the Wildlife Science major offered. In my opinion, it was the best presentation given throughout the entire semester. Wildlife science is the application of ecological knowledge that balances between both the needs of wildlife populations and the needs of people. Professor Frair gave her speech very emotionally and emphatically. Her desire for her field of work is what really made the presentation interesting for me.

In conclusion, Theodore Roosevelt is a great example of an American Dream; he lived his life to the fullest and did what he wanted. That is what I think the American Dream is about; doing what you want to become great. I do not think you have to become a big star or be looked upon by others as great. It is something that you earn by making your own way
Darien Rainforest Part 4 Scott Sondles The Darien Rainforest of Central America is one of the most diverse and beautiful areas in the world. It is home to a wide variety of plants and animals and home to over half of the world’s bird population. The immense bio-diversification can be credited to the emergence of the Panama land bridge around three million years ago that allowed the convergence of animal species and plants from both the north and south to expand their boundaries and cross-breed. Sadly, this area of the world is constantly under attacks from outside corporations and political interest. The future of the Darien Rainforest now lies in the hands of committed volunteers and organizations determined to save this amazing land.

A group of 100 bikers got together and in an effort to raise awareness and money for children with life threatening illnesses, took upon themselves to raise $2,500 each, having friends and relatives sponsor them for miles biked. It was a remarkable commitment. They had to solicit friends and family to donate to this worthy cause. They had to do grueling training, biking running and sweating for months in advance in order to be fit to do the ride. Family members of the bikers were very proud of having partaken in this event.
