Description:
John Henry Hauberg, Junior, was born in 1916 in Rock Island, Illinois. His maternal grandfather, F. C. A. Denkmann, and great uncle, Frederick Weyerhaeuser, had purchased a sawmill on the banks of the Mississippi in 1860. This modest enterprise was the foundation of the Weyerhaeuser Company, a lifelong partnership and family business which continues to this day.His father, John Henry, Senior, was fascinated by the history of Rock Island County, especially the story of Chief Black Hawk and his descendants. He collected tribal artifacts, transferring his enduring interest in Native American art to his son. When John Henry, Junior, moved to Seattle, he became involved with tribes and… individual artists in Western Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska. Part of his legacy to the city of Seattle is a stunning collection of Pacific Northwest Coast Indian art that can be seen at the Seattle Art Museum.After serving in World War II, John Hauberg attended and graduated from the University of Washington School of Forestry. Anxious to test new ideas in forest management, in 1948 he founded the Pilchuck Tree Farm, a 16,000 acre research tree farm north of Arlington in Snohomish and Skagit Counties. In 1971, Dale Chihuly came to him with a proposal to hold a glassblowing summer workshop on the tree farm, leading to the establishment of the Pilchuck Glass School.John Henry Hauberg has been involved with the community in many ways. His great loves, besides forest management, were his extended family, photography (many of his photos appear in this book), travelling, architecture, ancient history, and collecting Pacific Northwest Coast Indian art.
