"No one who knew him will deny the force and influence of Ed Ricketts. Everyone near him was influenced by him, deeply and permanently. Some he taught how to think, others how to see or hear." Happy 127th birthday, Ed.

March 12, 1940. "Those quiet men who always stand on piers asked where we were going and when we said, 'To the Gulf of California,' their eyes melted with longing, they wanted to go so badly. " - Sea of Cortez, 1941

We made a quirky little film about the Western Flyer with Nick Offerman!! So much fun.

[Western Flyer Foundation @TheWesternFlyer]

He won an Emmy, he was our favorite character on Parks & Rec, and he flew on the back of a dragon in a Super Bowl commercial. But can @Nick_Offerman tell the true story of the Western Flyer? Find out on John Steinbeck’s 122nd birthday, February 27th. #WesternFlyer #StirCuriosity
