1969 Richards stock footage. Group portrait of City Manager David Rowlands and family and Bil and Harold Moss. Man standing next to Mrs. Moss is not identified. On November 17, 1969, Mr. Rowlands was honored at a testimonial dinner held in the Winthrop Hotel's Crystal Ballroom. He had just completed his last day on the job, resigning after 13 1/2 years as the City of Tacoma's manager. The Tacoma Chamber of Commerce, Tacoma Area Urban Coalition, and Tacoma Urban League jointly sponsored the dinner; a reception was held earlier at the University of Puget Sound in which more than 500 people attended to bid farewell. Proceeds from the dinner and reception would go toward establishing a David Rowlands Scholarship Fund to aid low-income students. (TNT 11-13-69, D-13; TNT 11-18-69, p. 1)
