    Good afternoon to all-

    Re:CCC and other programs of that time

    I have taught public school- during the 70s and 80s in building constructed by the civilian workers of this time.these buildings were put together right, and the materials used were very solid. Used to love the sound of lady teachers in heels walking down those old wooden floors.

    thanks for the photo and the reminder.

    good day to all- Ed

    1940's Pilot Shirley Slade at Only 22 Years Old
    Shirley Slade was chosen for a group of about one thousand female pilots called the Women Airforce Service Pilots or WASPs during WWII. This image was taken in 1943 when she was only twenty-two years young. It captures her fierce face, flying helmet, goggles, and gloves all on, ready for takeoff. It was a difficult feat to embark on, but Shirley was always confident and prepared to train and fly her plane.

    Shirley looks effortlessly cool in this photograph. It allows you to look into her eyes and feel an emotional reaction that you would otherwise not be able to imagine without the picture.

    Her eye makeup looks really modern for 1943. Great picture.

    I agree, I thought it looked more like a today's woman Then from 1943, however I found her story as interesting as the picture.

    Our house burned down with all our pictures. Mama always was sad about losing the pictures. And the house of course.

    I have a couple of books of old, old B&W photos from my home town. Always fascinating.

    This is the main street of the little town of Bonners Ferry, Idaho, where my folks lived when they went through the Great Depression and WW2 and when I was born.
    The downtown area is next to the Kootenai River, and before the Libby Dam was put in (in Montana) the town would often flood in the spring.
    I remember driving up there and they would have the military putting sand bags along the banks of the river to keep the town from flooding. Some years, it flooded anyway.
    My mom and dad lived out of town and up on a hill, so they did not have to worry about the flooding, but the people downtown did have to try and save the town every year.
    This picture is from the flood of 1947, when the whole downtown area of the town was flooded.
