The Burr collection

Richard Temple Burr has shared many documents from the CCC development years. His dad and mom lived here, building their home starting in 1982. His father was basically the financial Director believed in some capacity for the Don Freeman group. They acquired quite a few campground, construction companies, equipment companies furniture companies etc. and his father would computerize their accounting etc. He was involved with all of the financials at that time.
