6/29/4 - Wheeler, OR to Weyerhauser, Bend, OR


Good to talk to you all on this here StHelensUpdate website. I don't know all that much about computers or websites though I do get my timber-run route over e-mail from the boys at the head office. I just usually read it and then go where they tell me. For the past few years I've always made a point of stoppin' here in St. Helens. I sure like stretchin my legs in your town and gettin' a bite to eat or a cup of joe. When I do, I get to talk with all the nice folks here in town and they usually end up fillin' me in on what's happening. It sure is a nice little town y'all got here. I became interested in this sthelensupdate website when I overheard some guy talkin' about how bad this website was for St. Helens. Boy, was he mad. He reminded me of my neighbor back home who's been madder than a hornet since they closed the mill down in Valsetz back in '81. Now I don't know about you, but whenever the loading foreman in Longview starts tellin me to shutup and quit askin' questions, I start thinkin' somethings wrong here. He's one of those guys who has all of the answers but doesn't seem to want you to ask him any questions. So I figure if people don't like this here website because it's askin questions, well, it sure might be just the thing for me. So, I figured I'd keep y'all updated on my passings through town and see where we end up. Anyhow, take care of things here in this nice little town y'all got, ya hear? -Tom
