“His name was Michael L. Rider, but to me he was Mr. Mike. To others, he was known as ‘Dirty Shirt’. I met Mr. Mike four years ago and knew instantly, he was a person who had my respect and admiration. I didn’t know why at the time, but would later learn he was beyond knowledgeable in many fields and what he didn’t know, he would learn rather quickly. But in his heart, Mr. Mike was a logger. When I met him for the first time, I told him ‘You are a brother.’ He considered what I’d said with a... weird look and said ‘Well, you don’t even know me how can you tell?’ At the time, I couldn’t answer, but I can now, Mr. Mike, you were a good person. When you gave your word, you always followed through and you didn’t give your word lightly like many today do. Mr. Mike was a logger through and through. Walking through the woods or driving down a road, he would look at the trees with a longing. Even in his sixties, Mr. Mike was an awesome logger.MoreLessRead More Read Less
