Brooks Resources, Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Company
[edit]( Back to T:TDYK )
( Article history links: )
- ... that in 1982, Brooks Resources, originally a subsidiary of the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Company, donated 135 acres (55 ha) to help Donald Kerr establish the High Desert Museum near Bend, Oregon?
- Source: A 14 March 2019 KTVZ news report says: "In 1969, Brooks Resources Corporation was born … Thirteen years later, Brooks Resources donated 135 acres south of Bend to educator Donald Kerr, and the then-named Oregon High Desert Museum was born." In addition, Corvallis Gazette-Times article dated 7 May 1979 (p. 10) specifically highlights the separation of Brooks Resources from Brooks-Scanlon, saying: "Brooks-Scanlon Inc. has received an Internal Revenue Service ruling allowing a Brooks subsidiary to become a separate corporation, the firm announced. The forest products concern said Brooks Resources Corp, will become a separate firm and continue to operate in the land development area. … The subsidiary…has concentrated its business on central Oregon resort and recreational home development."

@Orygun: These two articles are new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the articles are neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done but we need two for a two article hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:16, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
