Camp 20 was located on the north side of LaCrosse. From the end of Kane street and you only had to go over the tracks and down to camp 20. My step-father was a car inspector and I brought him his lunch frequently. This was in 1934 so I doubt if any one remembers it. He checked the oily waste in the wheels and then wrote his name on the car. Once he was hit on the head and what money he had was stolen. From then on he sent the men, with a note, to our house to get food. Some days there were men at all three doors and the neighbors would all come out and watch. I loved it when we hopped on the train for a short ride. One of his friends did not get off in time and had to ride all the way to Tomah.
