Christmas with Guy Gibson and the Bear Stew Memory
A reminiscence recalls a winter visit to hermit Guy Gibson by Calgary friends. They share a rugged Christmas in a wooden shack on the Ghost River, with moonshine, dogs, and Joker the horse. Gibson shows a hidden storeroom stocked with bear meat and frozen meals, delivering a simple, heartfelt feast and a hard lesson about making do.
