The congregation of the First Presbyterian Church honored their pastor, Dr. Albert J. Lindsey, with a large plaque in appreciation for his 20 years of service to the church. Church elder H.A. Briggs (r in photo) presented Pastor and Mrs. Lindsey with the plaque. Mr. Briggs had arranged in June of 1949 for Dr. Lindsey, then a Detroit minister, to come to Tacoma to hold a Bible conference and to preach a sermon. He was installed as pastor later that month. Dr. and Mrs. Lindsey were feted at a surprise reception in the church's courtyard following morning service on July 27, 1969. Photograph ordered by the First Presbyterian Church. (TNT 8-1-69, B-2)
