Spring may have officially arri
ved but actually it’s more like
winter in Kodiak. A few brave
daffodils are showing b u d 6
through the snow, but that’s the
only sign of Spring that we have
noticed. . . ..

Then there is the opposite side
of the weather picture as shown
in a letter from Torgie and Ruth
Torgerson in Idyll wild, California
. . . Torgie writes, “We are enjoy
ing the warm bright days but we
need rain. Can you spare any?”
One can only answer in the affir
mative to Torgie’s question. Per
haps we could take a bottle of
Kodiak rainwater to California.
That could easily be done . . .
but how can one bring California
sunshine to Kodiak? . . .
“Is your new parakeet blue?”
“No, it is not blue.”
“Is it green?”
“No, it is not green.”
“What color is it, then?”
“Its color is its color!”
So went the conversation with
little three year old Kathy Al
brecht while discussing a gift her
father, Ray, brought when he re
turned home Monday. Ray, Kodiak
Airways pilot, spent two weeks in
Portland having dental work done.
We later found that “Pat” is
really a lavender-purple color.
Kathy knew what she meant . . .
It was just that we grown-ups
couldn’t understand. . . .
Can anyone give us one really
good reason for moving the State
Capitol? Let’s leave it at Juneau!
