Patrol Squadron Two Does The Honors
Christmas in Kodiak for the children of the Kodiak Baptist Mission
was enhanced by a party sponsored by the men of Patrol Squadron
TWO on Dec. 21. Cmdr. D. P. Lanaghan, commanding officer, beams
his approval. —(Official U.S. Navy Photo)
Navy men know how it feels to
be away from their families at
Christmas time. They subscribe
strongly to the belief that Christ
mas is mostly for the children and
as a group they seem to have the
biggest heart in the world. Put
these three facts together and you
can understand how u came about
that Patrol Squadron Two enter
tained the youngsters of the Kodiak
Baptist Mission Children’s Home
at a warm, fun filled Christmas
party last week.
The idea for the party was orig
inated by Patron Two men who at
tend services at the Baptist Church
in Kodiak. From an off-hand re
mark, “Wouldn’t it be nice if!!”, the
project quickly snow-balled to be
come an “All Hands affair.” Com
mittees formed and preparations
got underway like magic. The men
of the squadron dug deep in their
pockets to raise the money to fi
nance the party.
CONTAGIOUS EFFORT
The whole effort seemed con
tagious. Men in the squadron’s de
tachments in far away Adak and
Shemya insisted on doing their
part by forwarding generous dona
tiones to the party fund. The Na
val Station Kodiak galley offered
to provide most of the luncheon
menu—hot dogs, rolls, potato salad,
baked beans, candy bars, ice cream
and a rarity in Kodiak, fresh milk
—and all the utensils to go with it.
The station bakery prepared a
large, delicious and beautifully
decorated cake for the occasion.
Several local Navy wives baked
mounds of tasty cookies. The En
listed Men’s Club sent along chairs,
tables, and table cloths. All of this
meant that, except for the pur
chase of fresh fruit, soft drinks,
and some incidentals, every cent
of the nearly $500 donated by the
squadron personnel could be de
voted to purchasing gifts for the
mission children and the good
men and women who serve as their
house parents and superintendent.
When the party day came, the
huge squadron hangar had been
cleaned immaculately. The 20-foot
Christmas three, Coast Guard Heli
copter, Neptune Patrol Bomber,
and other displays were in place
as the children arrived. Each
youngster had an enthusiastic sail
or as an escort to make sure that
nothing worth seeing was missed
and no questions went unan
swered, and, most important of all,
that everyone got plenty to eat.
FIRE ENGINES, TOO
Fire engine rides, with red
lights and siren going full tilt,
were the contribution of the Sta
' •>n fire department, and bid fare
to be the hit of the day. A photog
rapher snapped each child in the
pilot seat of the Neptune to pro
vide a treasured souvenir. Santa
Claus arrived at the heighth of
the festivities-predictably in a Nep
tune instead of a sleigh, waving
and shouting gaily from the astro
dome despite a pouring rain. Then
he handed out presents while the
squadron held its collective breath.
But the gift committee had done
its work perfectly, and not a child
was missed. At the close of the
party, everyone gathered around
a piano to sing the traditional
Christmas carols.
The Kodiak Baptist Mission
Children’s home, houses children
whose families have broken up be
cause of sickness, financial prob
lems, and other reasons. Patrol
Squadron Two, commanded by
Cmdr. D. P. Lanaghan, USN, has
been deployed to the Alaskan area,
away from its home base in Oak
Harbor, Wash., since August, 1962.
These two organizations each, In
its own way, helped make Christ
mas 1962 more meaningful for the
other. No one will ever be certain
who enjoyed the party most—and
no one really cares.
AND BACK HOME
But this isn’t quite the end of
the story. Back in Oak Harbor,
where the children of Patron Two’s
men were wistfully wishing their
dads would come home, the same
old 'Navy spirit was on the job. The
men of Patrol Squadron One were
working just as enthusiastically to
hold a Christmas party for Patron
Two wives and children. You have
to admit, it is a pretty good old
world after all.
