David Mitchell

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. See this thread for more information.

David Mitchell was born and raised in the small town of Vanderhoof , a community founded in the early 1900's by Herbert Vanderhoof, a Chicago publisher who dreamed of building a retreat for artists and writers. David, one of seven children in a family of modest means, showed his ability as an athlete at an early age. At 13, he captured his school's track and field championship, winning 6 events out of 6. At 15, the community kept the local ice arena open for 2 extra weeks, allowing David to prepare for an expected trip to the Wrigley Cup . Sadly, the trip did not materialize when Kamloops, the expected BC championship team that had asked David to play in the Canadian Championships, was upset in the BC finals. After being scouted by the Boston Bruins, the following year David attended a training camp for the Estevan Bruins, a Junior A hockey club in Saskatchewan. Unfortunately David received an eye injury which forced him to abandon his dream of one day playing goal for the Boston Bruins. However, blessed with his athletic ability, David became a skilled forward and still managed to fulfill his lifelong dream of playing professional hockey in the Eastern Hockey League. After returning home to Vanderhoof, David won the scoring championship and MVP in one of Canada's oldest and most competitive senior leagues before getting married in 1974. The completion of Poor Man's Justice, a ten-year project, once again highlights the persistence and determination David has shown throughout his life.
