Actress Lana Turner kissed a lucky worker as a "receipt" for his purchase of a War Bond during her visit to Sea-Tac Shipyards on June 13, 1942. Miss Turner sold $94,545 in bonds at the shipyard in just 30 minutes. The money would be taken from paychecks in the form of the payroll deduction plan. Grinning broadly was Walter Green, vice-president & manager of the shipyard, standing bareheaded with glasses, in between two Navy personnel. After Miss Turner's well-received appearance at the shipyards, she journeyed to the new Liberty Center at 10th & Pacific. One of a number of negatives of the visit released to STSC. ALBUM 5.
