Many of them recognize him from homemade wanted posters hung in sawmills or have seen his name on banners with slogans like KISS MY AX, ANDY. Lumberjacks deride Kerr as Andy Cur or Andy Cull (a term for a worthless log). And after putting away a few beers, some loggers have even called him from tavern telephones with death threats...
