Of all his work, the one I will remember the most is his book <i>Independents declared</i>. It led to a series of wonderful conversations with my uncle, a long-haul truck driver with whom I had not until then been able to find much to talk about. When I told
Mike later that his book had led my uncle and me to that most precious human experience – common ground – he beamed and said it made him really happy to hear he’d been able to make that happen. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
