Mickey Hersak B. Sc. B. Ed. M. Ed. is a retired mathematics teacher and an outdoor educator at both the high school and the Manitoba Wildlife Federation levels. During his career he developed Manitoba curriculum which earned him the Stu Seim Award from the Manitoba Outdoor Educators Association for excellence in school programs at Vincent Massey Collegiate. His students, who were the motivation behind the revival of this story of his childhood pet, encouraged him to share it more widely. Mickey is a conservationist involved with eco-tourism and is a member of Ducks Unlimited Canada, Delta Waterfowl, and the Manitoba Wildlife Federation. He still owns his great grandparents' farm which includes a 100 acre Ducks Unlimited Canada site. He divides his time between the farm and his residence in Winnipeg.
