No particular order, but somewhat older ones first. You B.C loggers pay attention, cause some of these guys came from up north.
Leo Clausner, Ray Arnold, Myron Hunt. J.D. Messer, Claude Priest, Ken Lameraux, Ronnie Johns, Don Crick, Steve Miller, Al Smith, Mel Smith, Lloyd Smith, Billie James, Elmer Capoeman, Skip Boone, Scooter Boone, Gary Cole, Rollo Hartstrom, Mike Schliefer, Larry Tryon, Jody Bond, Rusty Harper, Hank Allen, Don Anderson, **** Dye, Larry Zimba, Lynn Higgens, Robert Ross, Mike Ross, Steve Ross, Dan Ross, Chuck Ross, Paul Ross, Joe Ross, Norman Ross, Rex Ross, Gary Hause, Steve Cox, Willy Aldrich. There are more Who i can't place the name, but Dad tells me he has all the paycheck records. I may do some updating later. If you asked these men, most of them would tell you that Keith Ross of Ross & Sons, was the best one they ever worked for. Now go ahead and post some of your logger buddy names. I'll put up some contract trucker names later.

I had the pleasure to meet Pete Dancer during a stint he did down here. The gear he run and how he run it was eye opening as there really was nothing like that down here at that time.
