Kodiak Navy Wave
Makes Life Mag
A former Kodiak personality,
well known to members of the Ko
diak Business and Professional
Woman’s Club, is featured in the
December 15. 1961 issue of Life
Magazine.
Miss Charlene I. Sunesen, a Navy
“Wave” stationed here in 1957, and
an active member of the local BPW
club, became an item of pictorial
interest to Life when she became
the first Navy Wave assigned to
sea duty recently. Her precendent
breaking assignment is that of As
sistant Passenger Officer aboard
the Navy Transport U.S.S. Mann
of the Pacific Fleet.
By the end of her 18-month hitch,
the Navy will have an opportunity
to decide whether Miss Sunesen is
an exception or a precedent.
