Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated October 7, 1960 partially reads, "A non-sectarian group, Parents Without Partners, Inc., was formed in the Valley expressly to bring together single parents for their mutual benefit in the exchange of ideas. Phillip Rabin, temporary president of PWP, said that although the membership roster contains only 40 registered names, a turnout of 150 persons is expected. 'This is not a lonely hearts club,' Rabin stressed.' 'It is an educational organization and any social activities resulting will be only incidental to the central purpose'...to unite single parents on common ground to share experiences and advise fellow members, helping them and their children to lead a well adjusted life." Seated left to right, Phillip Rabin, Betty Gorman and Ditta Oliker.
