I started working in the woods in 1974. We heard of a real good chopper known as "Caledonia Pete", I guess he could really lay the wood down.
Anyway, one weekend I'm driving to our camp and I picked up a guy hitching. He's a runt and looked pretty hung over. While chatting, he claimed to be Caledonia Pete!
The next week at work, I'm telling my friend the story and said that maybe we needed a nickname and a legend to go with it.
That day the mighty Earltown Dave and the equally impressive Hopewell Tom entered the Nova Scotia Loggers Hall of Fame.
Legends in our own minds...
