Eddie Esparza remembers growing up in Camas in the early 1970s.
He was 5 years old, and his brother was 7 when they and their mother moved from Los Angeles to the Camas Hotel. They eventually moved into a house near Lacamas Lake.
Although that time in Esparza’s life involved poverty, he still has fond memories of the Camas area.
