Vern and I were exchaning posts with Richard (and others) when he got back from the expedition. I think Richard had agreed to keep the Skookum cast quiet for a while but his enthusiasm was coming through his posts and both Vern and I suspected that something very big had happened. It is the kind of thing that adds credibility to Mr. Noll's account, his unintended revelation of his enthusiasm. If it were hoaxed, I am quite certain he would have acted differently. Again it is one of those subtle things which lend credibility for me without really providing any proof but I thought I would share it. I for one am convinced that the cast is not a hoax. I am not saying I believe 100 per cent it is a bigfoot, I am just convinced that Richard did not hoax it. For what it is worth.
