The Shenandoah National Park brought help to an area that was suffering from
the Great Depression. The CCC camps in the Park brought jobs to young men
who had little hope for their futures. And the Park continues to help the
growth and development of the surrounding area.

I have done oral history interviews in Page County which includes some of
the land taken for the Park. As I am focused on those who attended the
one-room schools in the footprint of the Park, these former residents are
now 80+ years of age. The pain of the removals - the loss of place, of
community - is still as harshly felt today, even more than 70 years on.

I have been reading with much interest the discussion regarding "Hollow
Folk." I have also been reading online and making notes. At present I am
about half done. I can't decide whether to continue reading as my feelings
of utter disgust for those authors and those who "bought into this" just
trouble me at length. I have spent considerable time in trying to "proove"
any of this and only today have learned the people and place names are
fictitious! So, for any of you that felt the same way....I think the best
place for it is the trash can! off my soapbox now!
