Scope and content
Crystal Wright, 11, had her sleeping bag checked by St. Albans' counselor Donna Lusher while 10-year-old Karen Wells' suitcase was tagged by Girl Scout leader Maggie Maguire on June 30, 1969. The girls were boarding a bus at Wilson High School to go to summer camp. Several children already onboard are peering out the bus windows. The girls were taking part in a summer camp program sponsored by Tacoma-Pierce County Opportunity & Development, Inc. in conjunction with several local groups, including the Girl Scouts. The program made it possible for children from Tacoma's urban center, many of whom had never been camping, to enjoy outdoor activities.
