Bantam, Connecticut. Ernest Gervais came to Bantam from Plainfield, Connecticut, a little town just outside New London. He operates a shaving machine at the Warren McArthur plant, while his younger brother runs a buffer. Two aunts, Alice and Regine Langevin, are upholsterers at the plant, while Regine's husband, Armand, operates a mechanical hammer. Alice Langevin was first to come to work at the Warren McArthur plant, in June 1941, and her two nephews followed her by a month. Shortly thereafter, Armand and Regine came from Albany, New York, where Armand was a machinist and Regine a dressmaker. Ernest goes into the Army in March 1942, with no complaints. "Wherever they think I'll do the most good," he says, "it's OK with me." Armand, a native of Montreal, was in the U.S. Army during World War I

Old degenerating structure that later apparently served some artistic purpose in Atlantic City; not the famous New Jersey resort for sure, but close to a ghost town in remote Fremont County, Wyoming. The town is a small mining settlement in a gulch near South Pass, the famous route through the Rockies for Oregon and Mormon Trail emigrants. It was founded as a mining camp following the 1867 gold rush in the region. The town declined following the end of the placer gold rush in the early 1870s, but continued to exist as advances in mining technology allowed further extraction of gold
