A few years ago, David Wilbourne was offered an opportunity to take on one of those extended, long-distance logging jobs, in Panama. The money was good and the timber was cheap, but he says he just couldn’t do it. “I’m just an old home boy,” he insists.
Wilbourne, 55, and his wife, Sandra, own Triple W Logging, which includes their two sons, Adam, 32, and Dan, 30—father and sons making up the three Ws in the company name. David and Sandra also have a daughter, Sarah, 27. The family has indeed stuck close to its roots.
