fadedgenes Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I thought I would share these photos from CCC Camp S-116-PA when my father was a worker. It is now S B Elliott State Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilb3314 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Wow, that is something to have all those old photos. Some of those guys don't look old enough, and probably weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petee Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I think the church camp I went to as a kid was originally a CCC Camp. It looked exactly like the type of building in these pictures. Was there one down around Mahaffey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevermind Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 My father also worked at this camp. He was younger than most, his pay went directly to his parents to help feed his younger siblings. He learned rudimentary masonry there, a skill he later honed and used all his life. Thank you for posting these. Boy, times have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosha Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I also had a father and uncle that worked at this camp. The pictures are the best I have seen of the actual camp. We presently own the private property behind and south of this camp so am very familiar with the locale. Thanks for posting these valued pics.

fadedgenes Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 I was surprised that my mother kept the photos all those years. He died in 1958 at 36 years, of a heart attack. Dad is in the photo of Barricks 4, the guy with the curl of hair on his forehead. I printed on the front what was written on the back of each. Somewhere in my papers I have the dates he was there.

VulcanSoot Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Oh,for a return to such a self-respecting discipline which was to contrast the program which went on "over there".I don't pray for another depression...But our current admin may produce such a reinactment when frustrated,desperate,financially-strapped powers again march against each other...

Petee Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Those men usually didn't have a lot of food at home, and if they had extra they helped the neighbors. It was lean meat, greens, and vegetables. Carbs were harder to come by, and if they wanted extra to eat they had to work hard to get it. NO TV! I've heard that you burn fewer calories watching TV than you do sleeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
