Dr. J. E. McPherson, Educator and Researcher Extraordinaire: Biographical Sketch and List of Publications
(excerpt)
Like many outstanding naturalists, John E. (“Jay”) McPherson grew up with a strong interest in the natural world, especially insects. This innate curiosity led him to enroll as a zoology major at San Diego State University in 1959. Upon completion of his undergraduate degree, he continued on to pursue his interest in insect biology, completing a Master’s thesis on the life history and morphology of a poorly known species of Notonectidae. Shortly thereafter, a teaching assistantship enabled him to pursue a Ph.D. at Michigan State University in East Lansing, where his research involved distinguishing two closely related species of bark beetles. During this period, Jay also worked on various pest species, including the cereal leaf beetle, pine tip beetle, and pine cone beetle

Ground water in the Immokalee area, Collier County, Florida
The scope of the investigation involved the drilling of test
holes and the detailed inventorying of existing wells in order to
define the location, depth, potential yield, and chemical quality
of the water contained in the shallow aquifer that might be used
for the development of a central water-supply system.
The field work and collection of data for the investigation
covered the period 1961 through 1963. Much of the data collected
for the report on the ground-water resources of Collier County
(McCoy, 1962) is incorporated into this report. (Document has 36 pages.
