Anecdotes (Source: Morton M. Smith Retirement File, 1990)
• [Author not named]: “I really believe Mort’s favorite air-machine was the
DeHavilland ‘Speedster’ or Beaver. Seriously, when it came to multiple use or being
capable of handling many tasks, it was by far the best bush craft I ever flew. It had
one unredeeming feature however – it was slower than the second coming of the ‘Big
Man’ – in fact, it was the only aircraft I knew of that a tailwind wouldn’t help. I had
several affectionate adjectives for the machine and I used to relate to Mort about the
‘Speedster’s’ inability to develop much forward motion. I believe he took this
bitching with a grain of salt – until he drove it himself for awhile. Finally, after a
long summer, he called and said I was probably right; ‘it probably wouldn’t go much
over 100 miles per hour coming straight down.’”
• Vern Stotts: Some of his greatest thoughts and lessons for me were:
a. “I could hit these seaducks more often if they tasted better,” meant that with
practice one can rationalize anything.
b. When he said, “We can get this 206 off the water in less than 1 minute when
everyone is down to their high school weight,” it translated into don’t stuff rocks
in your personal kit to take home as souvenirs.
c. After a clapper rail hunting trip to the Eastern Short of Virginia, he remarked,
“We should shoot these critters only with a singleshot, 4-10 pistol fired with the
left hand after a cross-draw”, meaning that modern equipment can take away the
thrill of a full bag.
d. And, finally, after a perfect 2-point landing, he stressed that, “We can be happy
that we didn’t do it the other way around and land with our wheels down on the
water”, teaching me the hows, whys, whens, and beauty of a personal checklist.
• Bob Blohm: Of course, Mort, your red station wagon was legendary at the [Patuxent
Wildlife Research] center and how many Monday lunchtime discussions focused on
your weekend activities with your son to prepare the vehicle for the next week’s
drive. And, your love of doughnuts (particularly stale ones, at least 3-4 weeks old)
and old hunting clothes (the more holes and dangling threads, the better) is known far
and wide.
• Art Hawkins: After you joined the FWS Airforce it was fun getting together with
you, Don Smith, Maury Lundy and others to compare notes. You were unique among
most of the pilots listed above in that you were completely interchangeable between
ground and air duty. In fact, on days when you couldn’t fly, for one reason or
another, you joined the guys in the trenches, of your own free will. … One thing for
sure, I never worked with anyone I’ve enjoyed working with more, whether in the
Louisiana marshes or on the Canadian Prairies, whether at wing bees or Tech
meetings. Your cheerful attitude and dedication to duty made the job easier.
• John Tautin: I still recall my first months with FWS in 1974 and being assigned to a
duck banding station in Alberta. My first flight in FWS aircraft was when you flew
me from Saskatoon to Brooks to meet up with the banding crew. We (you) had to
make a tough landing in a crosswind on sod. It went well, and I still recall being
impressed and thinking that this pilot has the right stuff. I went on to learn that the
other pilots, our flyway biologists, were also fine biologists and good, safe pilots.
You deserve a lot of credit for that, having been in charge of that operation. Being in
charge as Branch Chief, Surveys and Operations, is how I most often think of you.
You have been one of the best managers I have seen, fair and honest with people,
managing to get the job done well with limited resources, and firm and decisive when
need be on issues and problems. I learned a lot from you that helps me now that I am
in charge of [the Bird Banding Laboratory]

Signs : launching a journal, building an interdisciplinary field : the legacies of Signs
No full textTo mark the thirtieth anniversary of 'Signs: journal of women in culture and society' and the arrival of its editorial office at Rutgers University, Douglass Library hosted a celebration that included a panel discussion with past journal editors and an archival exhibition. The editors came together to discuss their experiences during the journal's formative years through its later accreditation as a top international journal in women's studies. They conveyed the significance of Signs throughout their careers, underscoring its influence in the institutionalization of women's studies in academia. The exhibition included items from the Signs Archives within Rutgers Libraries' Special Collections and University Archives that trace the emergence and development of the feminist intellectual community and the critical role played by Rutgers scholars in the process.Mary (M.E.)
