The other is from Decatur, Mississippi, and worked previously at the Camp Shelby job, Hattiesburg, Mississippi. He said: "We live like kings out here. I never did carpenter before I heard you could get paid so much for it; then it didn't take me long to be one." They are both working on the Camp Livingston job near Alexandria, Louisiana
