Scope and content
On July 21, 1948, Bill Pettyjohn had just returned to his job as a linotype setter for the Tacoma Times after an extensive vacation up and down the West Coast. Bill and his wife, Gay, traveled on a 21 foot house trailer for over two months. Bill would get occasional short-term jobs, making just enough to get to their next destination. The pair enjoyed weeks of fishing, visiting friends and viewing the scenery. (T. Times, 7/23/48, p. 1).
