Excerpt from Georgia Forestry, Vol. 46: Spring 1992 He has known the thermometer to dip to 14 degrees below zero and howling winds to rip apart wind speed instruments. He has seen rain driven horizontally for a great dis tance and snow storms develop so suddenly under summer skies that astonished tourists are caught shiver ing in their shirt sleeves. The Forestry Commission employ ee, who quips that he has the high est position ln the state, operates the forest tower atop Brasstown Bald Mountain, Georgia's highest peak at feet above sea level. Although he has surveyed the vast landscape from his tower in the sky for 13 years he said he never ceases to marvel at the beauty of nature's seasonal changes in the surrounding mountain slopes and valleys.
