Wonderful tribute to a great man.

When seeing the pheasant pictures I have to wonder if one of those tail feathers is one that we had embedded into the custom made rod we had made for him.

I wore my "SDSU Wildlife and Fisheries" polo shirt to the doctor's office yesterday. I got to explain a little bit about Dr. Dave to my MD.

Fred, those feathers came from a pheasant he took.

Can't believe he's been gone 8 years. One of the finest men I've ever known, and truly a best friend. Built bridges between academia, agencies, and the private sector as he did his part to educate students and be a great friend to all of us.

Miss him immensely.

Good friend


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Here is a picture of Dr. Dave Willis and then PhD student Melissa Welner (IIRC a Fisheries Professor herself these days):

An unidentified fan of Dr. Dave, wearing an orange shirt, can be seen in between the two fish profs.
