Hi Nancy, So good to hear from you. My heart aches to think of the pain your family must feel during the 'holiday' season with so great a loss to remember. Many of us feel pain during this time of the year due to the missing faces and lack of presence of beautiful souls in our lives. You are so right about the comfort of seeing them again one day! I used to type articles for Linda Angell from time to time, for the Hoot Owl Express. This article on the CCC Camp 1413 was such an item. It was probably close to two years ago? I tell you time slips away anymore. ;-) Anyway, it was never used in the 'HOE,' it seemed a shame to let all this good data just sit. I 'happened' to come across it the other day; and thought I'd share it. Maybe it was 'meant' just for you. It is so special when we get those heavenly hugs. These articles she would send were usually clippings from newspapers, I would type, then mail them back, as she wanted to keep them for the library. This particular one was a copy from a newspaper or book possibly. I did some digging after finding your message because I thought I remembered making another copy to try and make it clearer. I DID find it and would you believe that there is a photo of the men!? One on the front row is holding a puppy of some kind. It is a printed pix from a copier so not the clearest thing to view. But, you can see some features at least. I will go to the library as soon as I can and make you a copy. IF I could get a clear scan, I'd try that. If you will send me your mailing address to shadri@perry.gulfnet.com I will mail you the best copy I can get for you. As I look at this, I believe it may be from some old book. It is a legal page size. On the edges it has a triangle with "US CCC" and pages 38-39. Hope you had a very Happy Birthday. The big 5-0, a milestone year 'they' say. ;-) Sharon >Hi Sharon, May I ask how you came to have this data? And what the 'source' is for the information? I ask because my grandfather, Ivy L Evans, is listed :-) Imagine to my sheer delight to open up this email and see his name in print :-) Wednesday was my 50th birthday and this is such a wonderful 'gift'. THANK YOU. If you have this on hard copy, is there any way I could get a copy? Warm Regards, Nancy Evans Parr<

Hi Sharon, I answered privately to give you my snail address but wanted to send a note to the list as well to publicly 'thank you' again for this information :-) I anxiously await the copy of the photo and will be sure to let everyone know if indeed my grandaddy is in the photo. Whether he is or not, it will be wonderful to have a representative of an era in his life. My grandparents (Ivey Lanier Evans and Alma Inez Williams) were married in Clinch County in 1925 and immediately left for N.C.; Grandaddy had gotten a job with Duke Power. I have a photo from the late 1920's of him and the 'crew' he worked with; it's an awsome photo because he has on his spurs for climbing the power poles :-) He's such a handsome young man! While in N.C., their first two children were born. This would have been my aunt (Nora Jean Evans) and my dad (Richard Lanier Evans). The family moved back to Homerville by 1932 and their third child was born (my aunt Martha Evans) in 1933. My grandparents remained in Homerville until their deaths in 1981. Their daughter, Nora Evans Doane, passed away in Dec. 1982; Daddy in 1995. Aunt Martha is still very much alive and lives here in Valdosta :-) I've tried to call her several times this morning/afternoon but she must be out shopping :-) I can't wait to read her the information you've shared. My great grandparents were Benjamin Franklin Evans, Sr (of Argyle) and Margaret Lane (of Manor, Ware Co). Her parents were Thomas Lane and Hannah Thomas of Ware County. Again, thank you so much for this information :-) Regards, Nancy E Parr At 08:21 AM 1/5/02 -0500, you wrote: >Hi Nancy, > >So good to hear from you.
