Five Tacoma youngsters took shelter under a big black umbrella on a gloomy December day in 1967 while helping collect food for the Opportunity & Development, Inc. Christmas party for underprivileged children. The boy with the biggest smile, 12-year-old Lester Wright, is clutching a 20-lb. frozen Lynden Young Turkey. From L-R: Ronnie Danneels (10) lugging a ham; Lester Wright with the turkey; Paridon Williams (7) holding the umbrella; Johnny Williams (8) and Richie Walker (10). The dinner was scheduled for December 23rd from 10 am to 2 pm in the Edward B. Rhodes, American Legion Hall; over 500 guests were expected to attend.
