Harry Harlow is famous in psychological circles for primate
research. No introductory psychology course would be complete lest
it include his famous studies which found, not surprisingly, that baby
rhesus monkeys prefer upholstered surrogate mothers to wire frame mothers.
 When Harry Harlow retired
from the University of Wisconsin in 1974, he moved to Tucson with his
first wife whom he had remarried after the death of his second wife.
Although officially retired, he held an honorary appointment at the
University of Arizona, and collaborated with his wife on several
publications including the book, The Human Model, Primate Perspective (1979).
