Loggers' Wives

摘要

A logger's wife is many things: bookkeeper, parts runner, mother, cook, peacemaker. Above all, she's a supportive, loving partner that looks out for her logger husband's best interests. For the loggers that have a spousal partner, she's usually part of the business and a priceless member of the team. I've talked to many a logger's wife while writing for SLT; sometimes in person, other times by phone or email. Sometimes, they're my first contact with a logger, either by way of a phone number or the occasional email that says, "Don't tell him that I asked you to do a story on him!" No matter what the manner by which I talk with them, the pride and love is obvious and it comes through loud and clear—they're in it for the long haul like their husbandsare and the double commitment is unconditional.
