CCC Legacy Journal: Vol. 33 Issue 5, September-October 2009
Walter Sekula Leads Tree Planting Effort 
Walter Sekula of Norwich, CT. has volunteered hours of
faithful service to assure
that the CCC is not forgotten. He
has logged many miles, attended events across the nation and served as an
ambassador for the CCC wherever he has traveled.
His dream of planting a CCC commemorative tree at the
F.D.R Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, NY has become a reality.
In a ceremony on June 13, 2009, at 2:00, pm an eight-foot white oak
sapling was planted. The white oak
was chosen to represent the State of Connecticut’s “Historical Charter
Oak”.
Cynthia M. Koch, Director F.D.R. Presidential Library and
Museum (L) and Clifford J. Faube, Public Affairs Specialist (R), present Walter
Sekula, Sr. (middle) with an official t-shirt of the Presidential Library and
Museum.
A
plaque, presented by Walter Sekula, will be placed by the tree.
It reads:
Dedicated
to
Franklin
Delano Roosevelt
Father
of the CCC,
75th
Anniversary of the
“Civilian
Conservation Corps”
1933-1942
