Scope and content
A quartet of bathing beauties posed with a Uniflite boat and a trophy in the parking lot of the Villa Plaza shopping center in this photograph from May 1959. The sign on the step platform, that the young women are standing on, advertises the Villa Marina, a department of the Villa Bowl Sports Shop. Two of the women are: second from left, Sherry Lee Holmes, the 20 year old Miss Tacoma; and, to the right of Miss Holmes, possibly Marilyn Ganes, 18 year old Franklin Pierce student and Miss Washington candidate. The Foreman & Clark clothing store at 10315 Gravelly Lake Dr. SW can be seen in the background.
