I went to college straight from high school and majored in Biology, Botany, and Zoology, and when I became a senior I found myself staring at the probability of working in a big city lab. I didn't like this scenario, and my advisor told me to take some time to gather my thoughts. Shortly after that, my family started with identical twins born six weeks prematurely. My life as a logger was born, along with the birth of my childern. I was a timber faller for the next 17 years.
