Following careers of two entrepeneurs 

by Glynn Harris

How long ago was it? Thirty years, maybe longer? I was doing some work writing material for timber company giant, Willamette Industries, when our paths first crossed. 

It was back then that a couple of ambitious young guys from the Ruston area, John Brown and Rex Moncrief, embarked on a television adventure. Neither knew much about what they were getting into but they dived into the project headfirst, producing a television program, “The Outdoor News”, that ran on Monroe stations for a few years. 

One of their sponsors was Willamette Industries and John and Rex had Willamette’s biologist, Luke Lewis, and me on their programs a few times.
