Oral history interviews with staff members of the Tacoma Rescue Mission, 1991.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/658236358

The oral history interview transcript contains interviews with Joe Ellis, Executive Director of the Tacoma Rescue Mission and Diana K. Jeffery, Administrative Assistant at the Mission. Ellis gives a brief background on his life and training, as well as an overview of the history of the Tacoma Rescue Mission, including some discussion of the work and character of the superintendents who preceded him (C.M. Shaughnessy, Ray L. Marvin and G. Hanley Barker). Ellis describes the programs and services provided by the Tacoma Rescue Mission in some detail. Jeffery recounts her ten years of service with the Mission, where she started as the manager of the emergency family shelter. She describes her direct work with the clients and refers to some individuals who apparently were present at the time her interview was recorded. In addition to those for Ellis and Jeffery, release forms are included for five participants from the "New Life" program who also were interviewed, as well as another Mission staff member, but these interviews are not contained in the transcript.
