Photograph caption dated March 29, 1962 reads "Stuffed animals and 200 Easter baskets inlaid with candies and eggs, which adorn the living room of Mrs. W. P. Brenton's Sun Valley home, are ready to be delivered to Pacific State Hospital for the mentally retarded. The 74-year-old volunteer worker and chairman of the Good Neighbor Group of Sun Valley, and three 12-year-old neighbor girls, Sharon McDonald, Gloria Wass and Donna Willis, from left, prepared 600 baskets for Crippled Children's Hospital, Orthopedic Hospital and Pacific State Hospital. The girls, who serve as her 'right arm,' devote two hours each weekday and most of Saturday to 'help those who can't help themselves.'"
