Friends literally howled in tribute to Gordon Haber on Saturday as more

than 80 people filled the Campbell Creek Science Center at a memorial

for the fiery wolf biologist.

 

Haber died in an Oct. 14 airplane crash in Denali National Park and

Preserve, one of countless flights he's made during decades of

single-minded study of eastern Denali wolves. Speakers Saturday

remembered that devotion as well as Haber's famously, sometimes thorny

personality.

 

"Gordon was a brilliant and dedicated scientist. He was quirky, he was

obstinate, but most of all he was a fearless advocate for wolves," said

wildlife photographer Johnny Johnson, a longtime friend.

 

At one point he led the crowd in a group howl. "He'd like that,"

Johnson said, pointing to the sky after 30 seconds of yowls.
