logging camp. I do not know the name of the camp but it was in Coos County.
I have a picture of the camp cook along with all the loggers there at the
camp at that time. Some of the names of those in the picture (I don't know
all of them):
Carl Carlson
Billdad Howell
Richard Freeman "Free" Steward
Harry McCue
Allan Leneve
Harry Hunt
Elmer McCue
Chas. McCreay
Jess Nelson
Another Howell
Charlie McCue
John McCue
The picture is larger than my scanner so I've scanned in two parts. If
anyone is interested I'd be happy to provide the picture off list.
