In 1940, when Laurence Thomas Beckerle was fifty-two, he decided to risk everything and have a go of it on his own. He started Beckerle Lumber. Of course, he realized he wasn't really on his own: The secret to Beckerle Lumber's past and continued success is the people who work in the business. Throughout all its years, Beckerle Lumber has never lost sight of this vision: It's the people that matter most.
