Frank Taylor, center, one of the leaders in the payroll division of Tacoma's War Chest Campaign cheerfully accepts $66,000 worth of pledges collected at the Seattle-Tacoma Shipyard. They were collected by John Wyckoff, right, and Homer "Chips" Ferris, left, and presented to Mr. Taylor at the October 22, 1942 "report luncheon" at the Elks Lodge. Mr. Wyckoff was an engineer in the hull department but he also served as the editor of the yard's paper "The Rudder" and the recreational director at the yard. Mr. Ferris was a foreman in the maintenance department. (TNT 10/23/1942, pg. 1)
