Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jessica Johnson visits Colvin Logging & Timber Buying located in Monticello, Georgia. Jim Colvin, 67, is a cantankerous fellow, with a big laugh and the tendency to say exactly what he’s thinking. But don’t let that all fool you, under the beard is a heart of gold with a very strong work ethic, two things he’s quickly passing on to his son, Marcus, 33. Both men are Masons, members of the Jasper Lodge #50, which puts on one of the biggest rodeos in Georgia every June to help raise money for scholarships. Colvin says that while the company does a lot of other things to help the community, like donating funds to needy families, being a Mason and helping give local kids school scholarships has been a high point for him in his charitable efforts. It’s not just Colvin’s heart of gold that Marcus emulates.
