I gave a powerpoint presentation on "Milestones in the Rise of the Religious Right" to the Hot Springs, Arkansas chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State last week. I took the scenic route on Highway 7 on my drive back to Oklahoma.
I was pleasantly surprised to discover a roadside park commemorating the work of the Hollis Camp of the Civilian Conservation Corp.
In an era when politicians are doing everything they can to erase the memory of FDR's New Deal, it's good to find a place where our collective responsibility to assist each other in times of need is still remembered and respected.

When I was little there was parts of a old CCC camp at San Isabel Lake ( just above Beulah in Colorado). My Sister and I use to hike up to it and play the old piano that was left. The mineral place park in Pubelo was built by CCC. The 16 mm movies you have of your Dad and I our engagement in a park were take in mineral palce park.
