Terry Lehr's article _Not in Our Backyard: POW Encampment at Cobbs Hill_
appeared in _Rochester History_, Vol. LVI, Summer 1994, No. 3.

All of the copies of the above publication, from about 1931 to present, are
available and indexed at the Rochester Public Library's web page (don't
have the URL immediately handy but it should be easy to find with a search
engine).

BTW William Ringle's information is a bit outdated. Blake McKelvey,
although still active into his nineties and profiled in a recent _Democrat
and Chronicle_, has not been City Historian for a number of years now. The
position is being superbly filled by Ruth Rosenberg-Naparsteck.
