But who knows what forgotten treasure there might be? I like to think I shared most of my favorites with my kids when I read them to them when they were small.

And, very creative use of the 'wordle' application too. I love it! Donna, your pictures certainly capture ‘home and family’ nicely! And, very creative use of the ‘wordle’ application too. I love it!

]]> Comment on My Grandfather Served in the CCC…Sort Of – Part 2 by Bronwyn Klimach http://pastprologue.wordpress.com/2008/07/06/my-grandfather-served-in-the-ccc%e2%80%a6sort-of-%e2%80%93-part-2/#comment-475 Bronwyn Klimach Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:12:13 +0000 http://pastprologue.wordpress.com/?p=177#comment-475 Donna, Thank you for an interesting article about the CCC and events surrounding your father's life. I hope you will not mind my pointing out that a strabismus is a turn in the eye (= squint when the term is accurately used - see http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/omd?squinting+eye ) You may be interested to know that squints can run in families. Strabismus can exist with or without a lazy eye, or amblyopia. The OMD definition here is not, I feel very accurate, and a better description of lazy eye can be found at: http://www.answers.com/topic/amblyopia?cat=health Shakespeare's 'Dost thou squinny at me?' is not always correctly interpreted... I'm impressed I have found a use for that fact I learnt at college soooo long ago. Again, thank you for sharing your interesting articles. Bronwyn. Donna,

Shakespeare’s ‘Dost thou squinny at me?’ is not always correctly interpreted… I’m impressed I have found a use for that fact I learnt at college soooo long ago.

Again, thank you for sharing your interesting articles.

You reminded me that I should have added in the article (Part 1) that the age requirements were eventually lowered to include more young men. Donna Henson,

I was in three camps, as they were closing them. I was only 15 years old. I enjoyed the experience of being in the CCC. The money that was sent home helped my family.

I've been travelling, too, and am happy to be getting back to a little bit of normalcy again. Your photos are beautiful! I especially enjoyed your photos of Dubrovnik. It is one of my favorite cities in the world. It has such an old world charm and an amazing view of the Meditteranean. I have fond memories of time spent there. I'm looking forward to reading more from you now that you're back! Welcome home and Happy Independence Day!
