Thanks (for the memories). Do you have more photos of Amache that you can share? Lily Havey | |
|
I do have other pictures from Amache but I don't have plans to post anything else. Did you have a specific request? Brian | |
|
I have been doing some paintings of Amache/relocation and wondered if you had some that I could see to give me some ideas. Lily | |
|
The camp looks pretty much like the photos I posted. There are some other surviving place of interest but I didn't shoot them. Brian | |
