BC-- PBC Bob Cook at Shoal Island DLS with Freightliner highway truck , its not unusual to see a father and son in the Forest Industry , how about a scan555.jpgfather daughter?
Bob's daughter Judy Cook is unloading his load at Shoal Island DLS with a 50 ton Letourneau log stacker. This Freightliner was one of the first logging trucks on the South end of Vancouver Island equiped with a Dog Logger trailer , it was brought down from Prince George to Victoria and used by Wakemen +Tremble a construction firm before being sold to PCB.

I would like to know if anyone can bring me up to date on a logging contractor in Winter Harbour. Name was WD Moore,not positive on middle letter. I remember from my time in CZ Kokish in 1967. Just a matter of curiosity.
