"Bill Hagenstein is a remarkable resource who personally witnessed and influenced American forestry for most of the 20th century. With his photographic memory and story-telling eloquence, Bill is revered for his knowledge and professional contributions to forestry--both nationally and his beloved Pacific Northwest. Bill's Corks & Suspenders memoir is not only a must read, but also an exceptional historical contribution about 20th century forestry."
