Civilian Soldiers Of The C.C.C. Comments

An eloquent tribute to the civilian soldiers of the Depression era. Dedication to the excellence of labor should always be praised. Wonderful, Robert. Warm regards, Sandra

A beautiful recounting of a proud time in American history. May such efforts be called forth in the times ahead. - Will

Robert, you have such as 'way' with words. Your expression is eloquent, your stories are always interesting and the phrasing of your poetry tells the reader that a musician and wordsmith cohabit within you. The Maroondah aqueduct that provided our family with water in the 1970s was dug by the 'sussos' during the great depression. I often used to imagine what it must have been like for these 'bare-knuckled' men working with nothing but hand tools and marveled at the beauty of the concrete lined perfectly proportioned channel that was the result. Love the comparison with the 'courageous' chestnut oak in the last stanza. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
