HILL: There was a lot of activity. They were building sandstone cabins there.

And I finally went working helping them build them cabins and clearing everything, just a little bit of everything.

But mostly I wound up helping to put those stones, building those cabins. Something I really enjoyed was working on that club house that's there.

I really got a kick out of that. I'd like to go there now and look at it and say I did some of that and it's still standing. (laughing) OFF SCREEN: Had you done stonework before?

HILL: No, I hadn't done stonework. This is where I learned everything—in the three C camp.

I learned to work with people. I learned two or three different crafts that helped me, you know. I learned to work with my hands a whole lot.

The main thing—get along with people. That was it. I had never worked with a group of people like that before. It was really an experience for me.

OFF SCREEN: So they had already started some of the buildings there. Did you have to quarry the rocks yourself?

HILL: No, what I did mostly was get the rock out of the ground. Then I finally got to the point where I could help them cut it.

You know, square it up, for making building blocks out of it. But for a long time, I was just helping them get it out.

That's the first job I ever had doing that. I was so proud. (laughing) OFF SCREEN: Did you work any of the carpentry?

HILL: I did—we built some—I worked in the carpentry shop a little bit. We built some handmade furniture—I think it's still there—tables and chairs and things like that.

I think some of them are still there. I was proud of that, too. I didn't work a long time in it, but I did help a while in there helping build some of that.
