Photograph was edited for publication purposes; Original print has vertical crease down middle of photograph. Photograph article dated February 8, 1962 partially reads, "Which would you prefer for dinner, Italian lasagna, Mexican tacos or Oriental rice? Maybe you would like sweet and sour spareribs. The couples of the Holy Family Retreat Association (HFRA) had these dishes and more to choose from at their 'Foods From Many Lands' party last weekend. 'Both husbands and wives contributed food,' said Mrs. Jack Cooke, one of the HFRA members who gathered at the Reseda home of the Peter Retzingers. 'There were at least 12 different dishes and the 15 couples there hardly wasted a bite of anything.'" Pictured are two unidentified couples of the Holy Family Retreat Association, who contributed their favorite dishes.
