A modern dining and banquet

Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir:
On behalf of the Federal Avia
tion Agency and all its Woody Is
land employes I would like to ex
press our appreciation to all those
who helped control Ihe FAA dock
fire at Woody Island on Christmas
day.
Especially appreciated is the
prompt action by the crew of John
Katelnikoff’s “Leading Lady,”
which was responsible for saving
the loading section of the dock
which could not be reached from
shore, and the fine assistance of
the Navy vessels and crews who
helped bring the fire under final
control. Also very important was
the assistance provided by Mr. Bob
Richardson and son, Jim, and other
boys from the Baptist Mission.
The dock plays a vital part in
supply and maintenance of FAA
air navigational aids and in the
daily lives of FAA families and
other Woody Island resdents. We
other Woody Island residents. We
a part of their Christmas day to
aid us in our distress.
