The man who lost himself will open today's Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association meeting in Fort Frances.
More than 10 years ago, C-F-L Hall-of-famer Terry Evanshen awoke from a coma not knowing who he was, his family or his football past. Evanshen, who has been on a slow recovery since, says its important to be the best one can be.
"We're all going through very difficult time right now," says Evanshen, "but when you look at my life and how I had to rebuild myself again that we try to put things in proper perspective. Try to look within ourselves and realize it's not the highs or low which happen to you in your life, but what you do with it that really counts."
Evanshen's life has been the subject of a made-for TV movie. He now now travels the country as a motivational speaker.
