Of This and That
wgrrr
We carefully shuffle over the
icy sidewalks to the post off ice. . .
The cold wind numbs our face and
brings tears to our eyes . . . Then
we slowly return to the office to
open the mail .... Mail from old
friends scattered to the far
comers of the world. We
may as well be honest and admit
that we feel envious when we
read some of the notes! Torgie
and Ruth Torgerson write from
Maui, Hawaii, where they have
been vacationing the past few
weeks. They tell of the wonder
ful weather, the flowers, shrubs,
trees and ferns of the lovely Is
lands. Ruth said that for the first
time in her life she was getting tan
ned by the sun. . . . They spent
a day with Admiral and Mrs. R. R.
Lyons, who were at one time sta
tioned at Kodiak. A ‘Kodiak
Reunion’ was held, too, with Dr.
and Mrs. Eugene Sullivan. Torgie
and Ruth left for California via
jet on the 17th. They will spend
the holdays at Palm Springs, and
some time at their home at Idyll
wild before returning to
Anchorage.
Then a letter from Gene and
Marion Sullivan written aboard
the S. Lurline enroute to Hon
olulu. A very smooth and pleasant
sailing, according to ‘Gene. ‘Last
night we were tat the Commodore’s
champagne party and I feel real
sharp today,’ he wrote, ‘That was
just one of many parties,’ he added
Gene and Marion will spend the
holidays with friends at Hilo, and
will remain in Hawaii for at
least a month, possibly longer.
They are both enjoying their trip
and Gene is walking well without
even his cane.
Greetings hetoe arrived from
Charlie and Connie Connors, too.
They a/re now living at Colorado
Springs, Colorado. . . . .
Next we find a note from
Captain and Mrs. R. B. Jacoby
who are now stationed at New
Orleans. Macque is especially en
joying the shops.The fine
restaurants.The sunshine.
But most of all they are happy to
be near their daughter and her
family.
With so much snow and ice cov
ering the ground the birds are
finding it difficult to find enough
food. Most of us have scraps of
food and stale bread. ... It would
be a kind gesture to feed those
leftovers to the birds instead of
leftovers to the birds instaedaetd
of tossing them into the garb
age can. We know that the birds
don't care if the food has been dis
carded by us. . . . They merely
know that they are hungry.
After all, we humans can look
forward to Christmas with all
those good foods. . . . .Letts share
some of it with our feathered
friends. And we do mean
FRIENDS!
