Biographical Note
A native of the Upper Peninsula town of Ironwood, Michigan, William Laughlin Robinson was born in 1933. Robinson graduated from Marquette's Graveraet High School, earned his B.S. in game management from Michigan State University, his M.S. in wildlife biology from the University of Maine in 1959, and his Ph.D. in zoology at the University of Toronto. He also did post-doctoral work in systems ecology at San Diego State University. He served as an alto saxophone player at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and Fort Shatter, Hawaii, from 1954 to 1956.
Robinson served as a professor of Biology at Northern Michigan University from 1964 until his retirement in 1998. He is a nationally know authority on wildlife management and has published dozens of articles in professional journals. Robinson has published several books, including "Wildlife Ecology and Management," the leading text in the field, and the well-received "Fool Hen, the Spruce Grouse on the Yellow Dog Plains," a monograph resulting from research done in the field.
Some biographical information taken from Robinson's work "Fishing with My Uncles."
