 * Part of the problem may be the first name. When I searched for him as Myron, I did find this long obit in the Globe and Mail. (I see the G&M lead called him "Mac" Kalman, but didn't find much more.) The Globe and Mail is Canada's leading national daily, and it's an impressively long article. Taken with the fact that he was given a centennial retrospective by McGill University prior to his death -- a feat more of longevity one might argue -- and his prolific work as listed in the Biographical Dictionary of Architects in Canada 1800-1950 ref, I'm inclined to say keep, if barely . He did a lot of mid-century residential and commercial buildings, schools, synagogues, etc. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:55, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
