Today's episode consists of David Leonard's conversation with Edgar E.C. Tall from December 14th, 1977. Tall discusses his career as a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) as well as his eventual relocation to Edmonton.

The recording is quite faint in segments due to the recording equipment utilized in the interview.

This interview was originally recorded on a 5 inch open reel tape and was digitized by an archivist on October 14th, 2020.

These interviews were recorded in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Both social attitudes and language standards have changed since that time. Some opinions expressed and language used may be offensive to listeners today.
