My father, James F. Wykle, served
in the CCC at Camp Bowers (2594 S-62) from 1938 -1941. From the
information on this website I was able to attain his service file from
NARA. He was very surprised and pleased to see these papers and
memories. Thank you! I'm hoping to find copies of some of the old "Tip
Top" camp newspapers to show him some day.

Thanks for preserving the legacy of
the CCC Boys. My father was at Camp Parsons and there is a photo of him
in the Camp Parsons part of the web site. He is incorrectly identified
as V.E. Bolyard. It should be K.E. BOLYARD. Thank You.

My father was in the CCC camps at
Onego, WV. His name was Ernest NMN Anderson, from Clarksburg, WV. He
ran a dozer and helped build at least one road to the top of Spruce
Knob. He was also stationed at Natural Bridge, KY, and I believe he was
there the longest. I have pictures of him sitting in a steam engine at
NB, KY and also a group picture with him and his cousin Haward Dodd
also of Clarksburg. They are both deceased with my father passing in
1968. He worked at the B&O yard as a pipe fitter helper and was
laid off in 1954, and times were rough from then on. I am retired now
and look forward to visiting with you and I will bring along the
pictures. "Bob"

Looking for information on a
gentleman by the name of Cortez McClung. We do not know if Cortez is
his birth name, but it was the name he was known by. Mr. McClung was
married in Kanawha County about 1925 and by 1930 was divorced. The only
thing his daughter knows about him is that he joined the CCC in Welch,
West Virginia.
I would be forever grateful if someone can tell me anything about this
man. Just trying to help his daughter find out what became of her
father.

I attended the first YCC Camp at
Camp Wood, Alvon, WV during the summer of 1971. I think the camp was
also known as Camp Alvon back in the CCC days. Looking for any others
that attended the YCC camps during that summer. There were two camps
that summer, one month each. Email me please.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi. My grandfather was a member of
a CCC camp in Wet Virginia, probably around Harrison and/or Lewis
Counties.
I was wondering if anyone had any information regarding him. His name
was Charles B. VanHorn.
Thank you.

My Dad was Fred H. Chandler from
Clendenin, WV. He joined the CCCs in the 1930s and served until he went
into the U.S. Army in 1939. My dad talked about being a driver for
Major Tasatanna. The Major was a WW1 vet and had lost his left had in
battle and wore a black glove on his left wrist. My dad passed in 1991
at the age of 74. I met one gentleman that was from Clendenin and knew
my dad in the CCCs. I am looking forward to seeing the museum in
Bridgeport. Dan Chandler

My father was Eugene C. Taylor, Jr.
I have a picture of him in his uniform and I think the picture was
taken in 1936. He was born in 1914. Daddy passed away the year the post
office issued a stamp honoring the CCC's.

My father, James Arnold Markgraf
served at the Bluestone and Raleigh camps. I'm interested in learning
more about his experiences there. Thanks for the work you are doing.
By the way, I have many photos he took while at the camp. Are you
interested in these?
