Les and Mary Sorum Depart Kodiak
Will Tour U.S. and Seek New Residence
The departure from Kodiak on
Thursday of Mr. and Mrs. Les Sor
um marks the end of a long resi
dence in Kodiak for both of them.
The well-known couple enplaned
for Homer where they have their
car waiting, and following an over
night stay, they will begin in a
leisurely trip down the Alaska
highway. The plan to visit in Seat
tle, then depart for Portland where
they will visit Mrs. Sorum’s father.
Following a brief stay there, dur
ing which they plan to purchase a
trailer they will go South and then
East, their ultimate destination be
ing Woodward, Okla. Plans are to
winter there and visit Mrs. Sor
um’s mother.
In the spring they will return
to the Pacific Coast, stopping en
route at Anaconda, Mont., visiting
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Leer (son and
daughter-in-law) and the Sorum's
grand children. Following a visit
there and with other relatives and
friends, they will move on to the
coast. They plan to make their
home in one of the Pacific Coast
states.
Les Sorum was formerly em
ployed as a supervisor in the Pub
lie Works garage on the naval sta
tion.
Mary has been connected with
the Kodiak Branch of the National
Bank of Alaska almost 19 years,
beginning first as a bookkeeper,
later teller .assistant cashier land
cashier. She has been assistant
cashier since the bank changeover.
She was active in various civic
organizations including the BPW
of which she is a past-president.
She also was active in the Emblem
Club and held several offices in it.
When asked the inevitable ques
tion as to whether they will ever
return to Kodiak, Mary’s quick an
swer was “I won’t say we’ll never
come back. I think we will. Too
many people have said that and
came back.’
Mary likes to dip a line in the
ocean for a halibut once in a while
as does Les who also likes the feel
of a salmon on his casting rod. He
also likes to hunt and is usually
successful in bringing back game.
Lures like these coupled with
the lure of seeing old friends again
will undoubtedly bring them back
to Kodiak at least for a visit.
