(Our stalwart blogger, I’m sure, not minding that. )

I hope he knows in his gut that the sasquatch exists. In fact, maybe the ultimate piece of evidence we can carry with us now that it is real is that John Green hasn’t seen one.

‘Cause ain’t it always that way?

Regardless of the petty squabbles that they may have had with each other, Green, Byrne, Krantz, Dahinden, Patterson, Gimlin, Morgan and Titmus will always be the true legends in our field. These are the men whose faces dominated the scene back in the glory days of the 60s and 70s. From books and documentaries to films and newspaper articles, if the subject was Sasquatch then you could be guaranteed that one or all of those mentioned above would be included.

As a child of the 70s I can remember reading of their adventures searching for the elusive creatures and thinking “that’s what I want to do when I grow up.”

Sadly most have passed on, but we should celebrate those left with us and soak up every bit of information and nostalgia that they can offer. Hopefully one day all of their hard work and dedication will be admired by mainstream science as much as we admire them now.

It’s a shame and I wish I had taken the time to learn more about some of these pioneers in the field.
