On June 13, 1942, Actress Lana Turner signed autographs for soldiers stationed at Fort Lewis while they sat in a bus. She was visiting the Tacoma area for a War Bond rally. After her long trip from Portland, and many stops in the smaller cities of Centralia, Chehalis, Toledo, Tumwater and Olympia, Miss Turner extended her stay in Tacoma by spending time at Fort Lewis to raise military morale. Miss Turner, already a seasoned performer at 22 years old, spoke to hundreds at Tacoma's new Liberty Center on Saturday, June 13, 1942. (TNT 6-13-42, p. 1) ALBUM 5.
