Scope and content
All America City Banquet held January 15, 1957 at the Top of the Ocean. Federal Judge George H. Boldt was chosen as the Master of Ceremonies for this event honoring Tacoma as one of 11 All America Cities selected by Look Magazine and the National Municipal League. Since the award was partially based on Tacoma's success in cleaning up its vice problem, the selection of federal judge Boldt was particularly appropriate. Seated to the right of Boldt is Karen Anderson (only partially visible) daughter of Mayor John Anderson, Tacoma Mayor John Anderson and Mrs. Frank Backstrom, wife of Tacoma's first City Manager.
