The Southwest Regional Presentation
Santa Fe, New Mexico

Frank Kowski, Southwest Regional Director, insisted the new uniforms be presented to his region and Marion Riggs was selected to do the introduction. She made a stopover in Texas and gave a private showing to President and "Ladybird" Johnson before continuing on to the Southwest Regional Office at Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The uniforms had all been made to her specifications and local employees her size were enlisted to aid with the presentations.
