Dear Carroll,

I have your form letter of January asking that I prepare an obit for
Cleo Wiesendanger. I have not written you about that. First we were
gone when it case; and second because I felt the need to get information
from Albert, her husband, for preparation of the it.
Finally, I got on the job and got ahold. of Albert. D turned out he
wanted to prepare the obtt, and he preferred sending it directly to you.
The other day he called about your address so I assume he must have sent
the material to you.
As I once told you I prepare once a month an item I call "THE
OLDEN TIMES" I limit myself to not over 2 pages an. each of my "T}{
OLDEN TIMES" I send it with. my monthly letter for Family and. Friends.
Usually the subject has to be something of 40 or more years ago. The
aim is to record things of my past especially for information to my
grandchildren; children; nieces; nephews, etc. Some of the subjects I
have written about are, of course, about my early experiences in the
Forest Service. Thus they might be of interest to you as editor of the
TIM3ERLINES. (In 1979 issues you used one I had written about origin of
Illinois Valley Airport.)
Now, Carroll, I do not want to "snow4' you; nor do I want you to use
too much of my stuff in any one issue (one or two would seem enough to
me). But, since I have the various (The Olden Times) subjects written,
I am sanding several on to you at this time. You might see if any of
them might be usable in your TIMBERLINES. Some of the subjects ass more
than one issue of my "THE OLDEN TIMES".
The items I am sending you ares
#6 and #7. My First Forestry Job
#9. Making Your Own Entertainment in Back-Woods Camps.
#15 and #16. My Involvement with Civilian Conservation Corp.
#17 and #18. Transportation By Morse or Mule. (This is my preference
of this group.) Don't want to send this without telling you that
Mildred and I really do appreciate the job you are doing for the Thirty
Year Club. That goes for Bunty Lilhigren too.
Dear Carroll,
Sincerely yours,
RED NELSON

I do not know if you will use the story I wrote up in my "THE OLDEN
TIMES" about the Redwood Remount Station--under the title of "Transportation
by Horse or Mule", If you did make something of it, perhaps the
attached might be a. companion itsa, What I have worked up deals with
only one of our remount station horses. One that made a name for himself.
One that launched a. future chief of the Forest Service,
Good luck with your Tisberlines. Many of us are looking forward
to th. next issue,
Sincerely,
RED
