Christopher L. Murphy retired in 1994 after 36 years of service
with the British Columbia Telephone Company (now Telus). During his
career, he authored four books on business processes. After
retirement he taught a night school course on vendor quality
management at the B.C. Institute of Technology. An avid
philatelist, Chris has written several books on Masonic Philately.
Chris got involved in the sasquatch mystery when he met Rene
Dahinden, who lived nearby, in 1993. He then worked with Rene in
producing posters from the Patterson/Gimlin film and marketing
sasquatch footprint casts. In 1996, Chris republished Roger
Patterson's 1966 book, Do Abominable Snowmen of America Really
Exist?, and Fred Beck's book, I Fought the Apemen of Mt. St.
Helens. In 1997, Chris published Bigfoot in Ohio: Encounters with
the Grassman, a book he authored in association with Joedy Cook and
George Clappison of Ohio. In 2000, Chris embarked on a project to
assemble a comprehensive pictorial presentation on the sasquatch.
This initiative led to his 2004 sasquatch exhibit at the Vancouver
(BC) Museum and the publication of Meet the Sasquatch, the first
edition of this book. In due course, Chris wrote a supplemental
section to Roger Patterson's book, which was republished in 2005 by
Hancock House Publishers under the title, The Bigfoot Film
Controversy. The following year, Chris updated his Ohio book, again
with his two previous associates, and it was published in 2006 by
Hancock House under the title, Bigfoot Encounters in Ohio: Quest
for the Grassman. Chris's sasquatch exhibit next traveled to the
Museum of Mysteries in Seattle, where it was displayed for five
months in 2005. In June of the following year, it opened at the
Museum of Natural History in Pocatello Idaho, where it was shown
for 15 months. Chris has also attended and presented at many
sasquatch symposiums, and has taken part in several television
documentaries on the subject
In the world of cryptozoology, Peter Byrne needs no introduction.
He has been committed to the search for unrecognized creatures for
over 50 years. In his early life, he was a big-game hunting guide
in Nepal, a profession that instilled in him a unique knowledge of
the ways of wild animals. In the late 1960s he put his professional
hunting career behind him and, wanting to give something back,
formed The International Wildlife Conservation Society, Inc. in
Washington, DC. Working with this organization, he designed and
carried out a twenty-year series of wildlife preservation programs
in the area of his former hunting concession in Nepal. This work
continues to the present day. During this time and later, Peter led
expeditions in the Himalayas to search for the yeti, and then
pioneered sasquatch research in North America. In the 1970s he
joined renowned American explorer Robert Rines in his search for
the fabled monsters of Loch Ness.
