Gordon Dobbs and Dan Pherson

Gordon Dobbs took some time out of sitting in a deer stand this week to provide a few comments on a recent recognition the logging company he co-owns received last month. The Forest Resources Association and STIHL Incorporated honored Dobbs Logging Inc. of Littlefork, as the Lake States Region 2017 Outstanding Logger at FRA’s Lake States Region fall meeting in Duluth Oct. 25. “It feels pretty nice,” a humbled Dobbs told The Journal Tuesday. “It’s nice to have been recognized and nominated by Dan Klocek, our Packaging Corporation of America forester.” …Dobbs asked that his $250 cash award from STIHL be donated directly to the Log-a-Load for Kids program in support of Gillette Children’s Hospital.
