Is it over in Sandwich where they have a display of how the CCC was made?
Those would be some cool pics, Saltheart - it is possible for you to scan them/post them online for us? I'ld love to see them. I could look at old black and white photographs and listem to people's stories forever. My wife's grandmother was born at the turn of the century in England (Italian descent) and she showed me her birth certificate and bunch of old pictures. Of course every one else just walked away from her because they had hear the story 1000 times.
I'm facinated by stuff like that. Wish I had paid more attention to my grandparents where they were alive.
They didn't talk much coming over here and how tough life was back then. My father's family was too poor to eat rice so they would eat yams all the time. My mother loved yams so he would tote over a big sack when he come to visit her and he would cherish his bowl of rice. My mother use to buy yams and hide them when I was a kid and I thought they needed to be in dark places ...... LOL. It turned out my father would go ballistic when he found them!! He would yell and ask her WHY would you buy those things!! That never stopped mom from eating them.
Time has passed and my father eats yams now - may be it is just comfort food and it reminds him of her (she passed away back in 1996). Sorry... I regress as usual. Getting a little teary eyed thinking about it.
