Farley Mowat's spirit will live on forever

I am so fond of Farley Mowat that I named my cat after him.

It is with sadness that I have read about today's passing of acclaimed Canadian author Farley Mowat.

I am so very fond of Farley and his books that I even named my cat after him.

And while the feline Farley Mowat is purring on my lap, I will pick up Sea of Slaughter and remark on the courage of the author and his regard for the natural world.  My copy of the book is heavily marked with a pencil, and will undoubtedly be marked up even more.

Farley was a pencil person too.  He is apparently a contributor to the book Minutes of the Lead Pencil Club.  That book is now on order.  It will move to the top of the stack of books to read.  I'm really looking forward to it.

While Farley's life stretched for nearly a century, his spirit, his wisdom and his words will live on forever.
