    I was in the logging business on our property until I got too old, but did it for 25 years and my favorite employees/workers were the gals. My wife and both daughters could run a chainsaw as well as most guys and better than some. Ours was a typical family operation but we did hire alot of help seasonally. There were a couple extremely motivated and talented guys who stood out above the rest (including myself by far). They were the two who could run the skidsteer and load trucks with logs. I didn't expect the girls to attain that performance. Another feature of having girls in the workforce...........for some unknown reason it motivated the guys to excel. I think it was a ''show off'' syndrome at work. Overall I liked to work with the women; they gave more attention to detail and didn't bring their drama to work with them.

    Kudos to the parents and/or caretakers who raised a good employee........it makes a difference.
