Dunham who operated a box factory at Bemidji, Mn until the end of WW 2, at which time he moved all of the machinery to Montana where Plum Creek was put into operation and expanded over the years. After the death of Dunham the operation was purchased from the estate by NP under the guidance of Lou Menk. Lou Menk, D. C. Dunham, Minnesota, Montana Compiler C Frissell
08/04/00 3:15	Bob Montbriand	A little general info on Plum Creek. This was a firm established by D. C. Dunham who ran a box factory at Bemidji, Mn during WW2. After the war he moved his equipment to Montana amd set up operation there, naming his firm Plum Creek Lumber Co. I understand that "Plum Creek" was the name of an actual creek near Anoka, Mn with which Dunham had some early connection. Prior to the NP/GN merger, and under the hand of Lou Menk, the NP purchased the company after the demise of Mr. Dunham, and hired an official of the M&O paper Company to run it (his name escapes me at the moment).
