Mike Myhre: the essay
One of the joys of coming home is seeing what my family has been up to in my absence. One of the more remarkable things was my brother Steven's essay on my good friend, Mike Myhre. The assignment was to write up an essay about an "unknown yet important Canadian". Mike was that man. For your pleasure, here is the essay, uncorrected and in it's original form for your consuming pleasure.
