CHARLES CLETUS BURKE takes time to pose for a photo in 1944 during WW II. He had also written a poem to his mother, Mrs. Charles Burke of Sperryville, that was printed in the 1944 Blue Ridge Guide. The following are a few lines from the poem. “Well, here I am overseas, so far away from you, And I’ve discovered many things that before I never knew. I miss so many things you did through all my life for me, I was too selfish, Mom of mine, and never stopped to see. . .And if from war I should return, Oh Mom of mine, I pray — Teach me again those little things, you taught me yesterday.”
