Photograph article dated December 23, 1960 partially reads, "Ever had a dream come true? Christmas is the time for dreaming - and the time for giving, so that someone else's dream will come true. That's the belief of two Burbank couples who never spend Christmas at home anymore, but drive some 1,500 miles deep into Mexico to distribute toys, candy and clothing to the ragamuffin youngsters they meet along the way. It all started five years ago when Jack and Margaret Hutchens, 613 N. Whitnall Hwy., decided to spend their holiday vacation south of the border... Last year, Jim and Pat Garcia, 223 N. Cordova St., asked if they could go along. They did, and now plan to go every year." Photograph caption reads, "Burbank couples load American gifts for needy Mexican children. Jack and Margaret, left, and Jim and Pat get ready for trip."
