I hope this is on topic and not seen as negative. As a novice, let me know
better ways.
I am curious about gray owl. When I read that name, it truly brings back
fond thoughts of the 1970's. I remember I was at my peak, living in a cabin
I built, with my motorcycle, 'very cute girl' (future wife- still is after 27
years), enough money, musician friends... a pleasant time.
We went to Toronto for a weekend and I picked up a book by "gray owl". I
loved it and read more and more. I fell for it completely. I still remember
how he would write about the difference in the spirit between different types
of forests. I still believe most of what he wrote. It was so romantic.
Then, I learned that he was a hoax, and not a particularly nice man. I was
angry. Later I realized that I still loved what he wrote. I passed on his
books to others, but, I didn't tell them that the stories weren't 'spot on'.
I am curious if this is connected to the person who calls himself gray owl?
