Poetic Obituaries: In 1972, he [Ivan Polivka] made it to

Canada's North, travelling alone to the Yukon territory. He fell in love and the trip became an annual pilgrimmage. On one visit, he bought an old trapper's cottage on Lake Laberge, north of Whitehorse, a fly-fishing paradise. Sometimes, he'd go on three-day jaunts alone in the wild, hunting and fishing, says Bill Craven, a close friend. He was also a voracious reader, painter and poet.
