Forestry Foreman & CCCs | Charlene Loenhorst Eastman ckeastman@gsinet.net
I am from Redlands, CA but now live in New Hampshire. My father, Bill Loenhorst, was very proud to have been part of the CCCs in the mountains (Idlewild) of Southern California. Yesterday, one of our church members, Dave Diehl wrote to say: I may not be in church. Attending CCC reunion with Emily at my Dad's old CCC camp in Allenstown, he was forestry foreman in "Cs" for 6 years.
They have a museum there named for him. Dave. This brought back so many memories I wonder if such museums are out west?
Years ago my dad drove our family up to his old campnothing left. My brother is Bill Loenhorst, Jr. San Gorgonio Search and Rescue, Mt. Home Village, CA. He stayed in the area where my father worked with the CCC.
Welcome to the CONFERENCE of California Historical Societies. CCHS was founded in 1954 as a federation of historical societies, museums, libraries, and other history-oriented groups and individuals. CCHS helps historians, and others who are interested in history, to connect and share information -- joining efforts. CCHS also helps local societies and small museums with skills in management, acquisition, preservation, and restoration techniques.
