Hello. I’m hoping to find information as to where my dads’s CCC camp was located in Idaho. I have a pin that indicates he was in CO. 297 and I seem to recall him being in or around Coeur D’Alene. His name is Ignazio M. Gallo.
I do have other printed material and photos from his time there in the area.
Thank you,
Robert Gallo
