Hockneys Leave
After 15 Years
Residence Here
On Sunday Ed and Tenora Rock
ney will leave Kodiak after fifteen
years residence in the community.
Ed Rockney transferred to the
Kodiak Naval Station Public Works
Dept, in 1946, coming here from
Bremerton, Washington. Tenora ar
rived the following August.
While Ed was employed on the
Naval Station, Tenora operated a
bus service in town for seven years,
then purchased the Frontier Gift
Shop in June, 1955. Later, she ad
ded the Shoe Box to her business
venture and she and Ed, who re
tired from Civil Service four years
ago, operated both businesses until
last week.
The Rockneys shipped their car
to Homer and will tour Alaska for
a month or more. They will then
drive to Portland, Oregon, to visit
their sons, Tommy and Merlin, and
their families for a time.
Ed and Tenora have not yet de
cided where they will make their
permanent home in the future, but
it “must be someplace where the
hunting and fishing are good,” they
both agreed.
“We will mis.3 our good friends
here and, no doubt, will be home
sick often for Kodiak,” Tenora
added.
The Rockney home has been pur
chased by Bill and Helen Lee.
