Thanks Jerry for an interesting web
site.
I was in the CCC for two of the best years that a farm boy could ever
enjoy. Serving in camps from Maryland (two locations), California,
Tennessee(three locations)afforded some wonderful
traveling through our inspiring wonder of our country greatly enhanced
by the CCC boys. World War II was a negative
influence on what the CCC program could have been on a much greater
scale

geneolgy. My father, Elven E. King was a member of the CCC Camps I

who knew him and/or worked with him. Please contact me at
db.macfarlane1@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you. Thank you in

I am a history Major. I am from
Pocahontas County and go to 4-H camp where one of the original CCC had
its location. I am working on a project of how the CCC's were affected
by WWII.

I am trying to find out how many
CCC Camps were in Logan Co., WV and where they were. I know one was at
Sharples, WV but was that the only one? I appreciate any help anyone
can give me.

Hello! I recently began working for
the WV CCC in Beckley, WV. I visited your site to learn more about the
original CCC and I must say, I am impressed with the organization and
content of your site. Well done! I especially enjoyed the photographs
you have from all those years ago.

I was looking for information on
the origins of WV parks for my grandson and came across the name of
this website on several references. I am amazed at the information here
and I am interested in all the details.

Your web site is amazing! I worked
36 years with the USDA Soil Conservation Service (SCS). The SCS
supervised 903 CCC camps. I have developed a web site for our retirees.
I have some CCC info on it at - http://www.arscse.org/nCCC.htm
I have visited Lost River State Park several time and have met Ray
Daugherty.

I had never heard of the CCC
program until today 11/3/09. Now I am fascinated to learn more. My Dad.
Joseph Herman Heavrin may have been in this during the early 30's??
Anyone with with any info, it would make me so happy to know more. Also
a neighbor Corbett Speaks was in this also, and a cousin Harry
Flaherty. Anything anyone knows would be so appreciated

My father was in the CCC for about
2 years. He worked in what is now the Kumbrabow State Forest. He talked
about the hard work; working in the mess hall and cooking Thanksgiving
turkeys with gullets still full of corn - lesson learned, always check
the inside of a bird before you cook it; of the friends he met; and
most importantly how it provided $25 a month for an non-English
speaking Italian immigrant widow with 6 mouths to feed.

I have stayed in many of the WV
State Parks and see the footprints left by the CCC Boys. I've used
Cabins,walking bridges, stone staircases, shelters, trails, roads,
overlooks, lakes and so many more things I can't recall that have
withstood the test of time. Why don't we have a similar program today?
This was one of Americas best investments. I have rented the "rustic
cabins" at Babcock State Park several times while rafting in the area
and love the atmosphere, THAT'S CAMPING!! I feel a similar program
would insure a love of the great outdoors for many generations to come.

We train new veterans to create and
manage new projects that benefit West Virginia. Our first project is
the WV Rosie the Riveter Project, where we identify and interview West
Virginian women who were "Rosie the Riveters" in World War II. We have
been contacted by 90 women and have taken the stories of about 1/3,
since late spring.
We hope to work with CCC in the future.

My grandfather, Bert L. Wriston,
was a member of the WV CCC. I think at Camp Logan, but he didn't join
the CCCs until 1940. So the dates don't match.

My family and I prefer staying in
one of the CCC built log cabins at Babcock State Park whenever we rent
a cabin there. It is like staying in a part of history. They are so
well built and beautiful.

Just finished a vacation at
Greenbrier State Forest. During our time there we stayed in a log cabin
built by the CCC. What a treat! We didn't know it was built by the CCC
until I talked to my Dad. The Greenbrier SF should have information
about the CCC in the cabins. It was great to see a part of our history
preserved and still used today!

I am working on a film titled
"Blackwater Canyon: Portrait of the Wild Lands" and in it includes a
segment about the CCC's camps in Davis and Parsons. I am looking for
potential funders for the completion of the film. After completion it
will be available to schools and the public. Can anyone suggest funders
I can contact with ties to the CCC?

For Bob Anderson and Charlie
Piercy.
The name of the book I was referring to at the Marion County Expo was
"Once in a Lifetime" A Guide to the CCC Experience by Ned H. Dearborn.
Watch eBay or a rare books store and you may find it.
