been topping trees lince the
dayi of the highline and the

; ready to quit yet.
But he admits he is trying
to slow down a little.

in Hayward, Wis.
Kyllonen says he no longer
works more than 70 feet
above the ground, not because
he can't go higher, but be
cause it throws too much of a
scare into the spectators.
As for himself, Kyllonen ad
mits he isn't as good as he
was 10 years ago, but he says
he isn't going to quit until he
starts feeling shaky up there.
Bom on a homestead in
Puget sound logging country
north of Seattle, Kyllonen
learned to cut the tops of trees
in 1914, at about the time
that loggers started using
safety ropes.
Tends Garden
Nowadays, after SO years
of logging in the Pacific
Northwest, Kyllonen says he
does just what he wants to do
most of the time, such as put
tering around the house and
tending the garden.
Not much demand exists for
tree-toppers anymore, but he
still gets requests from the
state parks system for little
jobs. And sometimes city offi
cials want him to remove dead
tree tops which are endanger
ing passers-by.
Also he is often in demand

by homeowners to remove
trees in congested areas where
they can't be allowed to fall
by themselves. In these cases,
Kyllonen takes them down in
sections beginning with the
top.
Still as straight and springy
as the trees he tops, Kyllonen
says he stays young by lead
ing simple life. He gets up
early never sleeping more
than four or five hours - and
works hard and doesn't waste
his time worrying.
