In this audio interview, Tom Baker records himself talking about his logging oral histories project. Baker’s main objective in this audio file is to record as many loggers’ names as he can remember. Baker had a few experiences with logging as a child, but did not imagine himself logging as an adult. He ended up in the forestry tech program at Haywood Community Technical College and began working for Hennessee Lumber Company in 1972. He eventually had his own logging crew, was a timber buyer, and personally cut a million pieces of timber.
