HOW THE EAGLE GOT HIS NAME

Folks ask me all the time, "how did you get the name 'Moe the Eagle'?"

Here are a few tales, there are more...

In 1991 on a training run, lots of screaming in the tall trees on Mount Benson behind Nanaimo, BC on Vancouver Island. Seven or eight of us, including a Carrier Indian were running there. Terrific screeching and screaming and it was too high to see with heavy branches near the top of the trees. Was it a great owl and an eagle fighting, or a bald eagle and a golden eagle? We never did see them but as we were looking up a single eagle feather floated above us. A more fluffy tertiary feather, it slowly drifted down and landed in our group, on my chest. The native Indian made a big deal of this. Translation "The Eagle Man" he said!

Two months later the same group was running near the same spot. We always took a thirty second break to look over a cliff and canyon vista. An eagle feather was lying on the ground just going to blow over with the next breeze. No one else noticed it there so I went over and picked it up. The native Indian said something like "Moe's spirit is here again".

My old friend in Colorado said at certain times in the late eighties she thought I kinda resembled an eagle. My nose for one thing? 

People have always mentioned my sight in the woods. How far and detailed I can see, how I find things like many eagle feathers that most of my trail buddies miss. Some folks have seen me raise my arms in the air whenever I see eagles and say stuff like "Brother Eagle, watch out for me, help me fly... well, at least run forever!!" 

In the seventies the eagle population was down. I gave donations in those days for eagle restoration when the big DDT thing was on. BC Hydro had eagles flying into their power lines. Hydro has since spent a lot of money, time and effort making their power lines "Eagle Safe".

Also I named the Hundred Mile Run in 1996-98 and 2004 and 2006. "The Eagle" added to the nickname.


A lot of incidents happened over fifteen to thirty years so I just went with the name.
