Woodard, Dickie -- Interviews

In this audio interview, Tom Baker interviews Dickie Woodard about his father Charlie Woodard. The elder Woodard started out working with the North Carolina Forest Service as a fire spotter and, in 1966 or 1967, he took a job as land manager for Mead Corporation in Sylva, North Carolina. In 1971, he was offered a job with Hennessee Lumber Company which eventually became Hammermill. He started his own lumber yard in 1982 and later became the executive director for the Appalachian Multiple Use Council. This interview, along with others, was created by long-time forester, Tom Baker. Baker interviewed men who worked in the timber industry to create an oral history of logging operations in western North Carolina. Included with each interview is a transcript of the audio file.
