It was called "The Shepherd's House" and Chuck Rollins lived in the pioneer's home east of Latourell Falls as a teenager when his family moved to the area back in 1964. The home has since been removed, but Chuck is now living in his own home in Latourell Falls. Graduating in 1968 from Corbett High, Chuck served in the Marine Corp. for two years. Returning to the area, he tried his hand at several jobs and with the influence of several "old timer's," Chuck tried his hand at logging. Alan and Jim Baker, David Granberg and Raymond Smith are all men that taught Chuck just how to log the land. Chuck logged for over 20 years and loved the fact no day was ever the same. One day Chuck was nearly killed and it was such a close call that he walked out and never came back. Today Chuck has written a post card book about logging. The book is called ""The Loggers-how they saw it." The hard bound book sells for just $28 and is carried at the Corbett Market. Recently retiring from the Wood Village Public Works Dept., Chuck is enjoying retired life and is continuing to volunteer and give back. Chuck is in his 21st year as a tour guide. Each year, he takes local 3rd graders all over the Corbett area and teaches them the bits and pieces of history that make up the area.. He is the current president of the Crown Pt. Historical Society and past president of the Mult. Co. Pioneer Assoc. A favorite part of his property? "My 40 ton petrified rock pile." What?! "Yes, and it all started with a single donation from a friend."
