Never too late

摘要

Conventional wisdom is that loggers typically get into the business right out of school, usually inheriting the business from a father or other family member. This is part of the fear about the future of the industry, with fewer young operators goinginto the business in recent years. If they don't get it in their blood early, they never will. A logger who doesn't claim to have sawdust running through his veins is a rare find, and it may be with a little too much frequency that loggers say logging isall they've ever known. Jimmy Storey, owner of Pine Oak Products, Inc., will make the first claim, but as for the second, though he has roots in logging, he came to his career by a more winding path.
