Spent Amount of money trying to save this huge Ash tree. But alas, the emerald ash borer won.

That's sad and they are now here in Colorado and killing off the Ash trees also. Emerald Ash Borer | FAQ My Dad took courses in College at the University of Iowa in Ames in Entomology. He worked for the Ag chemical departments of Standard Oil and Monsanto. He knew a lot about bugs and pretty much hated any kind of crop destroying pest. I remember one he particularly hated and that was the European Corn Borer. With the way things have become in modern times and commerce I think if I was a young guy looking for a field of study, Entomology would be a good choice.
