Scope and content
When President Franklin D. Roosevelt visited Tacoma in October of 1937 he was greeted at the Tacoma Union Depot by 11 year old Lorraine July. Miss July, a fellow victim of infantile paralysis, came to the station with her aunt, Mrs. E.F. Brown to present the President a large bouquet of flowers. She was stricken with polio at the age of four, and had twice received letters of encouragement from the President. (T. Times, 10/2/1937, p. 9).
