Hello. My mother and I are trying to find any information, pictures, etc. regarding my grandfather. He was at the Cass Lake, MN camp during the years 1931-1933, give or take a year or two on either side. His name was John George Radosevich, and he lived in Duluth, MN. We all attended an all-state reunion with him in 1996, but couldn't find any pictures from his particular camp, so any information, acquaintances, or pictures would be very much appreciated.

I am looking for any information about CCC C  1389 SP-14-Va., Bassett , Va. I have a 4 foot long photo of the entire camp company which I think hung in my father’s office at the camp in 1939.  My dad was Lt. Warren W. Wooden, [Woody], and he was the commander listed on the picture dated Aug. 1939.  He would have been 24 years old at the time and I am interested in knowing anything about the activities and records of the camp.  He was later killed in Vidoville , France during WWll.  My mom thinks she remembers living in Bassett, but I am wondering if they even had any accommodations for  the Commander’s wife.  It is possible that he was at the camp from its inception since he graduated in Forestry from N.C. State .  Thank you so much for any info.
