Matthew C. Perry 2008 <p>Mortimer Brooke Meanley, Jr., was born at Riderwood, Baltimore County, Maryland, on 19 January 1915, and died at home in Maine on 19 August 2007. He was always called “Brooke” as an adult. Much of his youth was spent in birding and other natural-history activities, interest he credits to the Boy Scouts and his teachers. These activities directed him toward a professional career in wildlife biology. He was educated at McDonogh High School in Owings Mill, Maryland – at the time a private, semimilitary school for boys – and graduated in 1934.</p> application/pdf 10.1525/auk.2008.125.1.235 en American Ornithological Society [Obituary] In memoriam: Mortimer Brooke Meanley, Jr., 1915-2007 article
