“Interviewer” Leaves Next Week;
“Casey” Angell’s Interests Are Many
By SIG J. DIGREE 1
During last year and this the
Kodiak Mirror has brought to its
readers portraits in miniature of
people in this community and the
Naval station.
How well they have been re
ceived is attested to by the many
comments we have heard. Life in
any community is made up mainly
of the daily happenings in the life
of every member. Recording these
happenings is the function of a
newspaper.
The sum total of happenings in
the life of an individual makes for
interesting reading. It was on this
premise the series was born.
Miriam Angeil, more familiarly
known as "Casey.' who has auth
c;ed these portraits, leaves Kodiak
next week for the East Coast. What
could be more fitting then, if we
turn the tables on the "interviewer"
and make her become the “inter
viewed?”
“Casey” was bom Miriam Page
Jones, in the state of Georgia in
1924. the daughter of a Baptist
minister.
During her childhood she trav
eled in the Southern states and to
Germany with her family—travel
ing has become a part of her life
it seems, ever since.
During 1944-45. •‘Casey" worked
in the weather bureau at Lynch
burg. Ya., but transferred to Ju
neau, Alaska in 1946. where she
worked as a map plotter and ob
server.
This must have been all a part
of destiny, for it was there she met
Roy Angell, a young navigator
aboard the CG Cutter Wachusett,
which operated out of Juneau. They
were married Sept. 9th. 1947. They
have one child. Aleda Ann. who
was born in Juneau. ,

“Casey” and Roy spent their
honeymoon in Whitehorse, B. C.
They hitchhiked down the Alcan
highway, and took the narrow
gauge railroad to Skagway, which
follows the route taken by the
’98ers during the gold rush. They
shared a little of the hope of those
early miners and about an equal
amount of their gold, for they then
managed to enplane back to Juneau
on a •'we'll pay for it at the other
end” basis.
Being the wife of a Coast Guards
man meant temporary living in
various parts of the country. The
Angells left Juneau for San Fran
cesco, where Roy served aboard
the CG Cutter Bering Strait; then
to Great Lakes, Illinois; back to
San Francisco again, on the CG
Cutter Taney; to Headquarters,
Washington, D. C. for one year; to
Japan for two years.
There they lived in a Japanese
house in the country overlooking
rice paddies. During those two
years, “Casey” soaked up Japanese
culture, which is reflected in her
cooking, manners, decor, etc. An
interesting episode in her life there
was the time she doubled for movie
actress Grace Kelly in the mo%ie
“Bridges of Toko-Ri,” for all the
shots taken in Japan.

There are two ways of meeting
a situation wherein you have to
live in various parts of the country
for different periods of time. One
individual will sit back and gripe
about it, counting the day when it
will end. Another will make the
most of it, join in community af
fairs, look for something interest
ing which can be found in almost
any place, no matter how drab.
