° Dear Folks,
O It seems that several days have passed since my last letter
° was written to you. This one should reach home just before
° or right after Thanksgiving Sunday. 1 hope it is, or was a
■ good one, for our family has so much to be proud of at this
e special time. My parents have raised two sons who were not
° ashamed of putting on a uniform when their country asked,
■ even if some people no longer consider such an act patriotic
3 or honorable. To me, and I feel to Frank, there is that some
0 little something way back in us that will not let us take the
“ many blessings that have been ours from our home and
• country without doing what may be an unpleasant task to
b us. When someone loves something, as we have been taught
• to do our country, this task is not a burden, but the carried
I on tradition from those who went before us, in both service
0 in uniform and the long wait at home. No, there is no
' reason not to be thankful, for we’ve had it very good and
J the price we pay now is truly very little for so many
3 blessings. J _
■ In the time we’ve spent in our “rented day, God has
! seen to it that we have never faced a task so large that we
■ could not overcome it. You have given your children the
• best of everything you have ever had. You have sacrificed
I so that we could have, and I hope you have received a little
• reward in return. But all our blessings have not been in the
! past, they continue today. You have two fine grandchildren
■ from a happily married daughter; two sons with college
■ degrees and a bright future, a home in a house that has seen
I many more good times than bad, and a God who stays with
• ail of us no matter how tough things get.
I Many people may say that Thanksgiving cannot mean
• much to me since I’m so far from home. They could never
° be more wrong. My job here is part of my blessing for it
I takes both a healthy body and mind. I probably realize
I more than ever how much the things back home mean to
! me. No matter what the future holds we shall all be
■ together again, and very soon. Yes, 1 m very thankful this
□ Thanksgiving.
» May God bless and take care of you.
° Your Son,
3 David

’ This man was killed in action a few days after

“Uncle Bud” Crews lived on
Cowhouse Island as a boy,
smack in the great Okefenokee
Swamp. Only he didn’t think
of it as a 331,000-acre
wilderness.
“It was just home,” he says.
“We farmed and worked
turpentine, made syrup and
tended chickens.”
Today Uncle Bud tends a
125-year-old house and its
outbuildings on Pioneer
Island, a re-created
swamp-style homestead at the
edge of Okefenokee Swamp
Park. The pine log cabin is
circled by structures and
implements used in activities
familiar to families that once
called the Okefenokee home:
a ponderous log cart, farming
tools, a smokehouse, syrup
boiler and cane mill, hog pen,
chicken house and corn crib.
with Lewis Hanle Monday.
Mrs. Lena Bloodworth of
Trion is guest of her daughter,
Mrs. James Lewis, Mr. Lewis
and children. Mrs. Lewis is
recuperating at her home.
Mrs. Bill Cook, Marie, Billy,
and Tommy and Joel Cook
visited Bill Cook at the V.A.
Hospital in Nashville Thursday
night.
Mrs. Jim Hollis and Mrs.
Emily Futral visited Mrs.
Thelma Bishop of Pennville
Friday afternoon.
Approached by a lengthy
boardwalk that snakes its way
over the swamp’s trembling
peat floor and brown-stained
waters, the pioneer cabin
opened its doors to the public
this year. Its single spacious
room is flanked by a kitchen
lean-to furnished with a rough
plank table and benches, a
wood-burning stove and
shelves of gold and garnet
perserved fruit. Focal point of
the Spartan main room is a
uniquely appropriate bed with
a mattress of Spanish moss
and four fat cypress knees
serving as bedposts.
Back along the twisting
boardwalk, past the Welcome
Center that soars out of the
dark water much like a giant
cypress knee itself, past an
aging alligator named Oscar
who commands his own tiny
island, are two more new
attractions, now open and
receiving finishing touches.
The Interpretive Center
boasts colorful dioramas of
swamp life, tanks of native
fish (including an “alligator
gar” with leopard-like spots
and rows of lethal teeth),
displays explaining the
formation and ecosystem of
the area.
Next door at the Ecology
Center the visitor is greeted by
Roy, another alligator-in-resi
dence. This one is a stuffed

himself into a fisherman’s boat
in search of fishy tidbits,
causing occasional distress to

retirement, is a “touch-feel”

Os particular interest to
both young people and their
elders is the wildlife
observation room with its
expansive one-way viewing
mirror. Food served outside
the window draws deer and
fox, raccoon, opossum and a
many-splendored spectrum of
birdlife to dine peacefully
together, seemingly as
oblivious to one another as to
the invisible watchers.
