Rotary hears talk on American weapons by Cloyce Campbell
Cloyce Campbell, economics professor at La Crosse State College and firearms collector, spoke at the Rotary luncheon on the evolution of military hand weapons. An exhibit of about a dozen muskets, pistols and rifles, some from Campbell's collection, illustrated changes over two centuries.

Waung, John Severn, and his son John Jr. Waung had visited La Crosse as a member of the Hong Kong club.
