Ty's Take

Jory Thomas spent his whole life around here, knew these mountains and this river the way some people know their own hands. He was the kind of man who showed up, who did the work, who didn't need a lot of fanfare about it. Those are the folks that hold a small town together, the ones who teach the kids and fix the equipment and show younger guys how things get done right. When someone like that passes, you feel it in a different way than the rest of the world might understand. Big Timber knew exactly what it had in Jory Thomas, and that's the part that sticks around.
