[or-roots] Frank Grimm Family

[Kith-n-Kin]

I agree! One of my brother's first toys was a Hyster. I didn't know (a) that
it was called a lumber carrier, we always called it a Hyster, or (b) that
Hyster made other things, until I was an adult!

It was great fun to crank up the carrier and move the "lumber" around the
place.

In college he worked in the mill, but I don't think he ever drove one.
Didn't like the job, joined the Navy.

JFYI,

This wording, and the date, would incline me to think this was not a 
highway traffic accident with a log truck, but an accident, probably in 
the mill, with a special vehicle, now obsolete, designed to carry stacks 
of lumber, ala http://www.libbymt.com/news/2006/06/Hysterlumbercarrier.htm

Glad to hear you are making progress!
