From The Daily Collegian:
George Harvey, who taught fly-fishing at Penn State for almost 40 years, died last Monday at age 96. Known as the “Dean of American Fly-fishing,” Harvey is credited with developing the United States’ first fly-fishing course at Penn State in 1934. . . .
“He really enjoyed helping people,” [his Penn State successor and renown angler Joe] Humphreys said. “He taught approximately 35,000 people how to fly fish.”
