Marker Name: Wisely Reasoned
Marker Text: I was hired as a stone mason LEM for the Civilian Conservation Corps. What’s a LEM you ask? Local Experienced Men. Know all ‘bout stone masonry and it was wisely reasoned to pepper experienced men about the young Corps enrollees. (br)They’re unskilled, but I’ll teach ‘em to mix morter, read the rocks and set them in proper. Most have come from rural areas, which makes my job easier. City men often don’t known which end of a shovel’s for diggin’. All are eager learners though, and dam hard workers.
