I was born in Harrisville N.Y.

12/28/1919

Dropped out of school at age 16.

Enrolled in the CCs

Served my time in camp S-122 – Co1241 at Hawkinsville NY, known as the Boonville camp

 

I have been a jack-of-all-trades, mastered a few and now I am building this web site about the Civilian Conservation Corps. With all the hardships and no jobs brought on by the great depression of 1929 due to the crash of the stock market, this is what guided me in making a decision to enroll in the CCCs
