SA,
He wasn't a logger, he did some logging. He too had a family to
support. He drove a school bus, but he was a woodsman, beagles and all.
Freaky accident. The snow was many, many, many feet deep and he was
by himself. Somehow the tree fell vertical on top of him. He died
instantly. <His family and friends admired that he lived the life he
loved and was happy 'til the end, lucky guy!>
