LETTERS:   Efforts appreciated years ago


To the Editor:

I believe Marion County owes a huge thank you to Helen and Dwight Beckham. The task of raising money for the purchase of the CCC statue as well as coordinating all the details associated with this project would be difficult for any person, but they were successful.

For those who missed the dedication, shame on you! The weather was perfect, the stories of the CCC men were interesting, and several tears were shed when Dwight played Taps.

Take a drive out to the lake and admire the statue. He is keeping watch over the lake, where so many CCC men toiled so future generations could enjoy.
