I got the news yesterday that Ray Crowe passed away. I did not know the man personally but I can respect anyone who takes the time to look into this subject with as much heart as he did. Ray Crowe was the founder of the Western Bigfoot Society in Oregon. Ray held monthly meetings in the basement of his bookstore in Hillsboro, Oregon and from that grew an immense commitment to bigfoot and other crypto topics.
nabigfootsearch.com writes “Ray was the perfect man to develop a newsletter that catered to everyone’s interest with specific emphasis on sasquatch/bigfoot.
The newsletter slowly grew in popularity and in quality as Ray’s name floated throughout North America and eventually the world. He covered Almasti, Yeti, Yeren, Abominable Snowman and every other unusual biped that walked the Earth. Ray was the type of person who was approachable and liked talking to people. He made several expeditions throughout the western United States in search of the biped and made many great contacts.
The “Track Record” newsletter was published every month for 17 years, over 3000 pages. Ray retired almost two years ago and NABS purchased all of his research and the rights to his writings. We methodically went through every page of the Track Record and developed an 80 page WORD document that is the index for all 3000 pages. There is nothing like this for crypto research, nothing. This is all placed on a CD that is PC and MAC compatible.
Here is an example of some of the data contained in the newsletters, the entire article is on the page noted;
Track Record 91 Page 5, Big Hairy Indian Swims up to Boat
91 6, Smoke Jumpers See a bigfoot
93 16, Two types of bigfoot creatures in Laos
99 12, Some bigfoot live underground
99 18, Eight foot tall body found in Washington
140 17, Cannibal Monster of Canadian Forests
This is a very, very small sampling of the enormous amount of data that Ray documented in the Track Record.”
