Alex Shigo
Dr. Alex L. Shigo (8 May 1930 – 6 October 2006) was a biologist, plant pathologist with the United States Forest Service whose studies of tree decay resulted in many improvements to standard arboricultural practices. He travelled and lectured widely to promote understanding of tree biology among arborists and foresters. His large body of primary research serves as a broad foundation for further research in tree biology. 〔''Urban and Community Forestry in the Northeast'', John E. Kuser, Springer, 2006, ISBN 1-4020-4288-4 (p 14 )〕 ==Biography== Shigo was born in Duquesne, Pennsylvania. He served as a clarinetist with the United States Air Force Band in Washington DC for four years during the Korean War. After his service, he earned a Bachelor of Biological Science degree at Waynesburg College in Pennsylvania, then a PhD in Plant Pathology at West Virginia University in 1960. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.legacy.com/Obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonId=19520875 )〕
He joined the U.S. Forest Service as a tree pathologist. He served there as Chief Scientist for 25 years and retired in 1985. Shigo was known for his digressive and philosophical style when writing and speaking, and for his trademarked phrase, “touch trees,” with which he autographed his books.
