We will have to tell Frank — he remembers everything and everyone!

Thank you, I shall respond immediately and hope we can save some of this history, I’ll write up everything as best i can of often astonishing sights I’ve seen in old growth cedar at Rayonier, the methods dealing with them, and their significance which will otherwise be lost forever. There aren’t many of us old growth loggers left, and New England Forestry had some of the best.

Jim, sounds like you had quite an experience working with the New England Forestry team! The types of trees harvested and safety measures have changed a lot since then, but loggers are still some of the hardest working people you could ever meet. Sounds like you have a treasure trove of old photos. If you don’t mind, you might soon hear from our New England Forestry historian, who is always looking to preserve our history and gather stories from years gone by.

From 1973 on till closure I was in Rayonier’s cutting crew. I have many, many, perhaps hundreds, photos that either I or the scalers took of falling the huge timber then. In the old photos you hardly ever see such sights as the wildly leaning, candelabra top cedars, some with very large trees growing on the sides of the cedar trees, sometimes 5 or 6. Very challenging and dangerous. I’d like to preserve these photos, maybe with the UW or WSU. I remember Frank and his brother quite well. New England Forestry was a very good company to work for.

Very interesting Frank , I recall the grade school crossing guards getting treted to a lunch trip up to the logging camp. Allan.
