Thanks, Baaahb for posting that. Farley Mowat has been one of our favorite authors our whole adult lives and something of a hero of mine. Named our first cat after him way back when we were very young. The article mentions some of his more recent books I have not read, so look forward to those.

I remember a story where he got arrested for taking a potshot at an Air Force plane that was disturbing his peace....gotta love it!
EDIT: Further research indicates that he threatened to shoot...didn't actually do it.Last edited by BillyFromTheHills; 9 May 2014, 11:53 AM.Yay!...(Drool)

Growing up in Dayton, Ohio 30+ years ago, reading "Never Cry Wolf" made a significant impression on an idealistic teenager, who was just discovering the natural world. Flash forward -- wife and kids gave me a copy of this book just last year for father’s day -- given this news, it will be moving to the top of the reading pile. RIP Mr. Mowat
