Title supplied by cataloger.

He was presented with a volunteer service patch and pin for 100 hours of service. Photograph caption dated October 2, 1959 reads, "Cartoons -- Gene Andreasen, Pacific Telephone Co. worker, shows the cartoon balloons he creates to brighten the hours of patients at Childrens Hospital in Los Angeles."
