About the Author
Roger J. Contor attended the University of Idaho and Montana State

big game management. His association with the National Park Service
began as a seasonal employee in 1949 in Yellowstone where he served
intermittently in various capacities into 1955. Later that year, he
joined the permanent staff of the National Park Service as a park
ranger, serving in Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain, and Bryce Canyon
National Parks.
In 1960, Mr. Contor became management assistant for Oregon Caves
National Monument, where he remained until early 1962. He then returned
to Rocky Mountain National Park, also as a management assistant. He is a
