    3. I had written Colleen that I thought it might be a CCC camp, but these are good replies. The Department of Transportation probably has these camps mapped and could help also. If you call the state 800 Information number they will forward you to the right office. I have been in the DOT basement where they keep the maps and they are a nice bunch of guys. For that number type www.WAHomePage.com into your URL address line - or WAstate or go to Cyndi's List and scroll down to US, click on WA and you will find the WA State Home Page - has all the state agencies on it. Also for any other state in the country! Probably works for Vital Statistics too! Norma Marilyn Drake wrote: > > Colleen > > I live close to Brooklyn.
