Scope and content
Miss Alaska, Nina Whaley (left), and Mr. and Mrs. Chester Seveck arrived in Tacoma on May 19, 1964, for a three day visit promoting Alaskan tourism. They were photographed standing on a Foster & Kleiser public service billboard advertising "Tour Alaska." Despite Tacoma's 60 degree temperatures, they were wearing fur trimmed garments reminiscent of Alaskan native culture. Mr. and Mrs. Seveck were professional entertainers as well as guides during the summer at Kotzebue, within the Arctic Circle. TRUEBLOOD 1064 (TNT 5-19-64, p. 1-article)
