crab shell hats she makes . . . Mrs.
Coon began making the hats sev
eral years ago, using veiling, se
quins and other decorations. She
entered her first hat in a style
show and won first prize for the
most original entry . . . Since that
time, she has sold several of the
novel hats and has given many
more as gifts ... A number of her
hats have gone Outside through
visitors, Navy personnel and mail
orders . . . Just one more instance
of the ingenuity of a woman pay
ing off ...

15 years ago is beginning this week
... In 1946 A1 Dickow and Ben Ben
son, both of whom are now em
ployed by Kodiak Airways, talked
of driving from Seattle to New

marked to us, “I told Ben that he
must see the eastern states in the
Autumn when the trees are so
beautiful with their red and gold
foliage” ... At last that long
dreamed of trip is a reality. Ben
Benson left Tuesday for Seattle
where he spent a few days before

City for a few days of business and
sightseeing is next on their itin

Ben’s daughters, Anna Mae and
Charlotte . . .
They will continue on to Miami
for additional business for Kodiak
Airways and fun. Driving through
the southern states, a visit will be
made to the home of Leona’s fam
