Whittlesey, 68, retired in early May, relocating near Livingston, Montana, 50 miles from Yellowstone’s northern entrance. Those words from The Organic Act of 1916 inspired Whittlesey throughout his nearly 50-year career-minus a few years here and there in the “real world”-in various positions in Yellowstone, both with the NPS and the private sector. During a nearly 50-year career at Yellowstone National Park, Lee Whittlesey drew inspiration from the act of Congress establishing the National Park Service: “… to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.”
