To the river, Gillmor, Don

In the spring of 2006, Don Gillmor travelled to Whitehorse to reconstruct the last days of his brother, David, a talented musician whose truck and cowboy hat had been found at the edge of the Yukon River. Davids family, his wife and his friends had different theories about his disappearance. Some thought he had run away; some thought hed met with foul play; but most believed that David, who at forty-eight was about to give up the night life for a day job, had intentionally walked into the water. Just as Don was about to paddle the river looking for traces, Davids body was recovered. And Dons canoe trip turned into an act of remembrance and mourning.
