Kodiak Youth
Taekles The AF
Jack A. Johnson, a 1959 gradu
ate of the Kodiak high school, who
is now a trainee at the Air Force
Base at Amarillo, Texas, is clear
ing up a few misconceptions about
Alaska and Kodiak in particular.
According to an article that
appeared in the “Jet Journal," a
publication devoted to news about
the Base and its person; — *
Johnson is an enthusiastic
booster for Kodiak. He went to
school here from the second grade
through high school, and had this
to say about Alaskan schools:
“Scholastically, schools in Alaska
are (rated high, perhaps a year or
so ahead of U.S. schools, despite
the fact that the increasing popu
lation growth of t’le . . *s
a shortage of educational insti
tutions.”
Stating that there are nine
months of winter here, Johnson
said of Kodiak: “It’s a beautiful
land, with crystal clear streams,
great forests, picturesque mount
ains.” He added: “It ptiobably
sounds like I’m trying to sell my
home state. I’m really not.”
The airman trainee was asked
the inevitable question about the
Kodiak bear. Aftctr a little prod
ding, he admitted to having shot
four of them, and had seen as
many as 12 at one time. Johnson’s
answers to other questions were:
“II {'lies are high. Bread is 75
cents a loaf (Ed. comment: Naught
on’s take note). Wages though,
are also high. Homesteading is
becoming pupular. Many service
personnel are retiring there. . . .
Actual natives are called Aleuts,
of Russian and Scandanavian de
scent (Eld. Note: what is probably
meant is the present native)
Fishing is the prime means of
survival.
Jack is the son of Mrs. Otis H.
Day of this city. Jack has a twin
brother, Jerry, and «n older bro
•
tb«-, Roger. His father is a civ*
service mechanic on the Naval Sta
tion, and according to young John
son, was instrumental in his son's
decision to Join the Air Force.
The article, titled " Kodiak Bear
Hunter, Fisherman, Tackles AF,"
concludes as follows: “Johnson en
listed at Elmendorf AFB, Anchor
age, on Oct. 14, 1959, and although
he’s lived on or around water most
of his life, for the next four years
he’ll be in and around the sky.
•‘Whether I get to fly is unlm
portant,” he said “I’ll 'be helping
the Air Force and benefitting my
self at the same time. I’m very
happy.”
So the youth who has -been a
salmon fisherman, a cons i uictioi:
worker, a Kodiak I oar hunter,
new tackles the Al* Force. Alas
ka can be proud of this young
man. His initiative to learn and
excel has already made the Air
Force proud of him.
