Raymond L. Wallace, 83
|
||
Bigfoot Story Teller
|
||
(1919-2002)
|
||
|
||
Ray Wallace, a controversial figure involved in 44 years of Bigfoot-related
|
||
events, died November 26, 2002, in Toledo, Washington. The Washington State
|
||
construction tycoon had been ill for some time, living in a Toledo rest
|
||
home.
|
||
|
||
It was at Bluff Creek, California, in 1958, which found Ray Wallace<63>s
|
||
company building a new road through the northern California forest. In
|
||
August through October, Wallace Construction Company's employee Jerry Crew
|
||
found tracks of a huge humanlike foot. Thanks to instructions from
|
||
taxidermist Bob Titmus, Crew made the first plaster casts of a footprint
|
||
from this hairy upright creature his fellow workers called <20>Bigfoot.<2E> Crew
|
||
took the cast to town, to quiet local ridicule, and showed it to a Humboldt
|
||
County newspaper editor. The photograph of Jerry Crew with the giant
|
||
plaster of Paris foot imprint went out over the newswires. It produced a
|
||
revolutionary shift from small regional stories of Sasquatch to today<61>s
|
||
global awareness of Bigfoot. Soon after the publicized Crew finds, Wallace
|
||
and his brother claimed other Bigfoot activity around the construction site;
|
||
Wallace said he found tracks and droppings of Bigfoot.
|
||
|
||
Wallace was to be involved with the local tales of hairy giants for the rest
|
||
of his life. Allegedly in the later in the 1950s, for example, Wallace
|
||
offered to sell Texas millionaire Tom Slick a captured Bigfoot. Wallace
|
||
failed to produce the creature when Slick came up with an offer. Down
|
||
through the years, Wallace would carry on pranks, be tied to carved fake
|
||
Sasquatch feet, and produce and try to sell dubious photographs and films.
|
||
He was a great letter writer and would pen long passages to magazine editors
|
||
about this photographs or telling of how he knew a Bigfoot was nearby
|
||
guarding a mine full of gold. After awhile, most Bigfoot hunters and
|
||
researchers took Wallace as merely a spinner of fanciful tall tales. Through
|
||
his contributions to Strange Magazine, the Track Record, and indirectly to
|
||
Fate Magazine, Wallace relished keeping his name in the limelight of the
|
||
Bigfoot mystery.
|
||
|
||
In March 1998, Ray Wallace offered a million dollars to the first person who
|
||
could bring him a live baby Bigfoot. Saying he had tracked Bigfoot for
|
||
forty years, Wallace claimed he wanted to raise a young Sasquatch to
|
||
adulthood. Wallace told reporters he planned to raise a baby Bigfoot with
|
||
<EFBFBD>care and respect<63> and would like to train the creature to ride around with
|
||
him in his pickup truck and help out with chores around his ranch. No one
|
||
came forth with a baby Bigfoot.
|
||
|
||
Ray Wallace added an intriguing, mostly harmless story-telling element to
|
||
the otherwise often serious pursuit of Bigfoot that various friends of his,
|
||
such as Ray Crowe, Director of the International Bigfoot Society, enjoyed.
|
||
|
||
Ray Wallace was interred at the Lone Hill Cemetery in Toledo, Washington
|
||
State, on November 30, 2002.
