    Now I need to make a pilgrimage to Ed's office. This is a new revelation to me. City Lights was another pilgrimage I felt compelled to make. When America was young and strong.

    Twain, O.Henry and Steinbeck my fav American authors. Poe is another, but in a unique category of his own.

    Ed Ricketts is the brain that drove "Sea of Cortez". Steinbeck wrote narrative, Ricketts wrote all the philosophical and factual content.

    In Seattle a Bar named: Once in a Blue Moon, had unpublished manuscripts ( John Steinbeck). The Lower 48 States, always had a problem "UNderstandig", a LAND of Milk & Honey.

    Not one mention of Clayoquot. It was his favourite place to visit and work.
    In 1948, estranged Ricketts and Steinbeck reconciled and planned together to go to Clayoquot, British Columbia to write another book, The Outer Shores, on the marine life north towards Alaska. On previous trips Ricketts had already done most of the needed research and he gave Steinbeck the typescripts for these as he had done previously with The Sea of Cortez. One week before the planned expedition, on 8 May 1948, as Ricketts was driving across the railroad tracks at Drake Avenue, a Del Monte Express (passenger train) hit his car. He survived for three days, conscious at least some of the time, before passing on May 11.
    In fact, Ed loathed the crass exploitation of the the Sea of Cortez, instead being compelled to the pristine setting of the Canadian marine ecosystem for his work.
    Why is this lost on most everyone? It's closed minded, not something Ed would espouse.

    Interesting story, what I could hear of it, with that loud piano and no closed captions so explain what you were whispering about so many times. Sadly, The end was almost completely inaudible.

    Did Ed Ricketts have a daughter?

      In 1922 Ricketts met and married Anna Barbara Maker, whom he called "Nan." A year later they had a son, Edward F. Ricketts, Jr., and later two daughters were born: Nancy Jane on 28 November 1924, and Cornelia on 6 April 1928.
