"Our roots served us well," notes Duane Vaagen of Vaagen Bros Lumber Company, Colville, WA.

From Norway to the forests of northeast Washington with a brief span of time in North Dakota, those three-generational roots laid the groundwork for a life of hard work. The principle of "You have to make more with less" is pivotal in Duane's personal and business life.

Stretch your mind with the stories Duane shares. They feature a brief synopsis of the lumber industry and its impact on the forests that continue to be stewarded by the Vaagen Family today.
