Lazy Bay
As Al winged our way to Lazy
Bay we passed over many fishing
boats and set Betters’ sites. Wayne
Axelson, the cannery superinten
dent, introduced me to Steig Os
man, who is one of PAF’s two
vice-presidents. Steig is well known
in Kodiak. He visits all the can
neries during the canning season,
many times. We all walked over
to the guest house, where I was to
stay, so I could leave my bag.
Wayne took me up to his house
where I met his lovely wife and
their four children: Joyce, Linda,
Clifford and John. Asta Axelson
and the children come up every
summer from Seattle. I do not
blame them for liking it there.
While that part of the island has
no trees, the vegetation is very
lush. Wild flowers and berries are
everywhere. After a very fine
dinner cooked by Bill Koumanis
I was introduced to the Mess Hall
staff. The cook is better known
in Kodiak as “Bill the Greek.” He
was hired a few days before I
arrived and surely knows his busi
ness. Dick Heather, the baker, is
also well known in Kodiak and
Anchorage. He used to bake for
the Naughtons years ago and wish
ed to be remembered to them.
Marie Peterson is the waitress,
and has been there several seasons.
Carol Lee is working there the
year around and seems very happy.
After lunch, or should I say
dinner? Asta and I walked around.
We met Hilda Stream, a Kodiak
school girl staying here with her
sister, who is working in the can
nery. Hilda had been on the same
plane with me from Larsen Bay
to Alitak a month before. Polly
Christiansen (not related to the
family I stayed with in Old Har
bor) was home and we had a
chance to see her 10-day-old son.
Her mother is there visiting and
helping with the baby.
We dropped in for awhile with
Marie Peterson as this was her
“time off” and she was resting and
listening to her Hi-Fi recordings.
We had to wait until later to see
Mary Christiansen (of Old Har
bor). She is working in the can
nery and that happened to be a
heavy day. Mary’s mother, Sasha,
had sent a package to her by me.
She is a lovely girl; it is no wonder
her family miss her so much. While
walking through the cannery, I
met Christine Neseth and had a
brief visit with her during her
“break.”
As we passed the Mess Hall it
was time for coffee. Dick was tak
ing out beautiful loaves of hot
bread, like home in appearance
and taste. He already had sweet
rolls ready for mug up; we couldn’t
resist them, naturally. Bill was
preparing the salmon for baking
to be covered later with his won
derful sauce that he makes by
braising in a kettle with olive oil
and a bit of water; onions, celery,
green pepper, tomato, maybe a bit
of garlic until tender, about half
an hour to an hour. He pours this
over salmon that has been fileted
and cut into serving size pieces;
