Tacoma Mayor Mike Parker (left) shakes the hand of President Jimmy Carter after Mr. Carter's speech on September 23, 1980. The President had arrived at McChord AFB at 4:05 pm and was whisked away by limousine to various stops in Tacoma. Mayor Parker rode with President Carter and was able to brief him on what would occur at each stop. The above photograph was probably taken at the Bicentennial Pavilion during the President's last stop of the day, a Democratic fundraiser where 125 people enjoyed chicken legs, raw vegetables, and deviled eggs for a $500-a-person contribution.
