Description: Photograph article dated September 9, 1963 partially reads, "I went around and around with Dee de la Vega. She talked and we walked around the track at John Burroughs High School in Burbank. She was trying to explain why she was walking 55 miles around the track Saturday to win a bet. I was trying to take notes and keep up. Around and around in circles we went. But then, so did our conversation."
