Interview with Ken Conibear about his experiences as manager of Grey Owl's (Archibald Belaney) 1937 British lecture tour. Recollections are also offered by Ken's wife Barbara Conibear.~He discusses Grey Owl on tour; he began his presentation with ."I bring you a green leaf." and the fact that he had a message and that he was good speaker; being under pressure and the depression of spirit that contributed to his ill-health; he offered Brits an apolitical message as opposed to the Black Shirts movement during the depression; his grudge towards British people. They discuss the lack of conservation of some Canadian river systems and harbours. Phil Chester shares his thesis topic, Grey Owl - Defender of the North; how he was central to our mythology; one of the lessons he learned from Grey Owl is that the wilderness spirit is in you.~Ken Conibear's brother Frank is writing a book that reveals many truths about Grey Owl such as while he was in service during WW1, he shot himself in the foot to get discharged and his sloppy trapping techniques that caused him to ruin pelts. Conibear discusses his own career path from trapper to university administrator; Grey Owl Society; his writtings about Grey Owl and the Canadian North; John Hornby; comparing Grey Owl to John Hornby; Annahareo feeling betrayed after finding out about Grey Owl's identity; Grey Owl's daughter; Grey Owl's books; how he was a romantic at heart but not a family man; Donald Smith's research on Grey Owl; the British tour book signings; how Grey Owl might be remembered by Aboriginal People of Canada; Grey Owl taking on his Ojibway name and the fact that it wasn't an animal indigenous to the area; how Grey Owl was influenced by authors of books he had read; how audiences responded to his films such as beavers living in his house, Aboriginal attire, etc; dying his hair black; Lovat Dickson in Wilderness Man, writing about Grey Owl losing his will to live; Grey Owl seemed to be fufilled in his life; meeting his aunts in Hastings; had he considered going on tour to other countries; when Ken Conibear last saw him as they parted in New York; interest in conservation that revived an interest in Grey Owl; separating myths from reality - did he know who he was.~Phil Chester, a teacher with the Renfrew County School Board, is interviewed on radio about his special assignment doing presentations about Grey Owl to schools in the region. <3h>
