Gary Green is a past president of both the Crow's Nest Officer's Club and the Crow's Nest Military Artifacts Association which jointly administer the Crow's Nest National Historic Site of Canada. He has written journal articles on the Crow's Nest and has contributed to books on the role of St. John's and the Royal Canadian Navy in the Battle of the Atlantic 1939-1945. Gary and his wife Ruth, Collections Manager for the Crow's Nest Military Artifacts Association, conduct research in both national and provincial archives and museums. We talk about the history of the Crow's Nest, its collection of WWII-era gun shield art, the club's U-boat periscope, the preservation challenges of maintaining the collections, and stories from the club's colourful past.
