Dear Ms. Schueller:
Just finished reading THE SOLDIERS OF POVERTY. Really enjoyed the
book. I picked it up at the lodge at Giant City State Park at Makanda.
Coincidentally I picked it up May 25, 08, and as you know the day
Mike Kerkes was sworn into the CCC.

Dear Mary,
I took your book The Soldiers of Poverty with me to the Florida
Keys in February. I had no trouble finishing it while waiting at
airports and lounging on varioius beaches. Good Job! You held my
interest all the way through. The way you interspersed stories along
with historical fact made everything come alive. It was ironic,
that I was reading about the tragedy of the CCC men that perished
in the hurricane when their train got swept off the tracks. I was
sitting at the spot just outside Key Largo looking at a portion
of what remains today of that abandoned railroad.
I have never been to Giant City. But, I will go now! I just have
to see first hand some of those projects you described. I'm saving
your Copper Falls book for another quiet time when I can enjoy it
to the fullest.
Congratulations for a job well done. You wrote about a time when
our government engaged the resources of great people to undertake
worthwhile projects., We could all be proud of what our country
and its people were accomplishing.

Dear Mary,
We so enjoyed hearing about The Soldiers of Poverty on March 3,
2008. Your illustrations were very enlightening. The "cut over"
forest blew me away when you said all of northern Wisconsin and
the UP looked that way.
I hope that you will be able to tell many more audiences about the
men of the CCC.
Sincerely,

Hi Mary,
Thank you again for the great presentation yesterday. I'm so
pleased with how it all turned out. I think it was a case of right
speaker, right topic, right audience, right day.
All best,
