The Lewis-Clark Valley sits along the border of Washington and Idaho. It's known for its natural beauty. There's rolling hills, tall trees, and the Snake River. Amid the stunning vistas sit a number of small, tight-knit towns. One is Esoton, Washington. In 1979, Esoton had a population of just 1,000 people.

Think games, rides, and of course, a parade. That year, Betty Wilkes dragged her two daughters out of the house for the festivities. Her youngest, six-year-old Carlin, seemed to have a pretty good time. But 12-year-old Christina White got bored fast. The heat didn't help. Christina was a bit of a tomboy, not too interested in the glittery, bright colors of the parade.
