------------------------------ABOUT THE RECORD-----------------------------
"The Larger Half of Wisdom" is named after a quote by wilderness activist Ernest Oberholtzer (aka Ober). Beginning in 1922, he lived on Mallard Island on Rainy Lake in Northern Minnesota for a half century. He graduated from Harvard but left his degree in the civilized world to defend those beautiful waters from damming, logging, and resource use, including commercial fishing for sturgeon.
Ober traveled thousands of miles on uncharted waters with his Ojibwe companion Dedaabaswewidang, or Billy Magee, mapping the areas north of Lake Winnipeg with 2 guns, fishing gear, 700 pounds of food, and their 18ft canoe. Ober agreed with his Canadian colleague Arthur Hawkes, who called the border waters "an outdoor university with a campus of 14,500 square miles. Ober said, "It contains the larger half of wisdom—the part that cannot be taught within-doors."
All of Sundowners grew up in Northern Minnesota and have a great respect for the lakes, the woods, and the well being of the outdoors in that part of the world. Growing up spending most summers and winters outdoors will do that to you.
