Scope and content
In December of 1942, Tacoma was full of newcomers and visitors, crowding every hotel and boarding house. Generous homeowners, like Mrs. C.G. Trimble (right) made their spare rooms available as overnight accommodations for these guests. Pictured at Mrs. Trimble's door were, left to right, Pvt. Walter Kunkle, Margelyn Masrud and Pvt. Kunkle's wife Jerry. Pvt. Kunkle was newly assigned to Fort Lewis and Miss Masrud was on holiday from Viroqua, Wis., visiting her brother at McChord. (T. Times 12/17/1942, pg. 1)
