Barnes General Hospital is in Vancouver, Washington. From the Veterans Administration web site:
"The Vancouver Campus was originally the U.S. Army Barnes General Hospital. It was constructed by the Army Corps of Engineers and activated in 1941. The Army closed it in 1946. In May 1946, President Truman authorized the transfer of the Vancouver property to the Veterans Administration. The Vancouver VA Hospital consolidated with the Portland VA Medical Center in 1980. The VA has disposed of several large pieces of the original deed over the years. Most notably a large number of Quarters were deeded to the City of Vancouver which is now called “Officers Row”. The other large piece was deeded to Clark Community College to the south of the campus."
Pysht is located north of the Olympic National Forest. Merrill & Ring Forest Products L.P. is the lumber company refered to. The Merrill & Ring families established the company in 1888 with the purchase of the Pysht Tree Farm, which is now the oldest tree farm in Washington State still operated by its original owners.
