Jim Logan

Born in Merritt, B.C. in 1922, Jim came to Tulameen at the age of nine and, with the exception of some years spent working in other parts of the province, has lived in the general area ever since. Following in his father's footsteps he became a logger, though his heart was never in it.

At age twenty-one he joined the army. He took basic training in Red Deer, Alberta and was later sent to Nanaimo, B.C. for further training as a weapons instructor. He subsequently spent the next three years instructing men who came into the service in a professional capacity, bypassing their basic army training. (i.e. Postal workers, cooks, shoe makers etc.) Pacific Command, realizing they had alot of personnel with zero knowledge of the weapons used in warfare, were correcting the situation.

After the war and back in Tulameen again, Jim married a girl from Fraser Lake. Together they raised four daughters. Following years of logging and saw-milling, he eventually found his niche as a ranger in Bowron Lake Provincial Park. He now lives his golden years by the Tulameen River, a couple of miles out of town, where he has the wood working shop he always dreamed of. He also does a bit of writing. Now eighty-four years young, he has seven granddaughters and two grand sons, most of whom are away at university in this year of /06.
