John Monk Photographs

John Monk was employed by Owens-Illinois in Louisiana as Forest Manager and Procurement Manager from 1966-1986. When Temple Inland acquired Owens-Illinois properties and the mill in Orange, Texas, he was hired by Temple Inland in June 1986 as General Manager of Texas and Louisiana Forests. Mr. Monk’s responsibilities included clear cutting of lands and developing Streamside Management Zones for the Georgia-Texas Operations. These three photographs show the first load of plywood logs sent to the Owens-Illinois owned plywood plant in Jasper, Texas, on June 23, 1971.
