Description
Photograph was edited for publication purposes.
Photograph article date stamped February 16, 1963 partially reads, "Despite the driving rainstorm, two tiny tots paddled their way lap-after-lap in a West Valley swimming pool to establish new national mile records for children of age six and under. The five-year-olds, Lisa Moje, who attends Northridge Elementary School, and Steve Powell, a Calabasas Elementary School student, amazed a gathering of friends and parents at the West Valley Swim School last Sunday afternoon swimming the grueling event in a flash rainstorm." Photograph caption reads, "Ex-Ram Richard Moje lifts his daughter - He joined Lisa in the pool fully clothed." See image 00163966 for additional photo in this series.
