Robert Pasquill Jr., a Forest Archaeologist for the U.S. Forest
Service, Montgomery, Al., has put together a 20 minute video
commemorating the CCC's 75th anniversary. "A Great and Lasting Good".
This video celebrates the accomplishments of the CCC, whose legacy
lives on throughout the nation. The video uses still photographs to
illustrate how desperate young people achieved social and natural
preservation and developed minds through education and conservation to
create “A Great and Lasting Good.”

This film would make a fine presentation for anyone wanting a program
on the CCC and is available for viewing and downloading at the US Forest
Service website link below: http://www.fs.fed.us/r8/featureStory/ccc.php
