SCENE aND HEARD ABOUT TOWN
Bill Trotno called the Editors the
other day to place an ad for someone to
do his ironing since his wife Chris is
at Elmendorf Hospital. This brought to
mind that Chief McVicker said he had dis
covered he could iron his own clothes.May
be you could give Bill some lessons, Mac,
in case his ad in this issue of the Sun
produces no results*
Chief Barber wants it known that people
should give Chief Ogle plenty of room
when he's fishing. Seems that Oglefs
"Can't miss” lure scraped a bit of skin
from Barber's hand when Ogle pulled hard
and the lure flew. Barber was over 10
feet away so he recommends a minimum of
£5 feet distance between any unwary fish
Irman and Chief Ogle. We ’understand too,
that Chief'Ogle was quite perturbed and
disturbed when Mark Malone, Jr., Chief
Malone's son caught more fish than he did.
Speaking of fishing - deliberate snag
ging continues and that isn't fishing.
Nothing is more disgusting to this writer
than the deliberate snagging of Salmon.
Jim Miller, BM1 surprised a large
group of Club Bayview customers when he
stated he was completely happy with his
orders to the USS BRECKINRIDGE, -‘-hey were
even more surprised to find out that it
was his 2nd choice. Some of the group
had served with Miller on another trans
port, the MANN, and apparently at that
(^.ime MILLIE occasionally voiced his dis
like for the duty.
All "Brownbaggers" who stop in for a
•uick one at the Club Bayview had best
•ratch out for people like SIMMONS, MARTIN,
KENNEDY and Club Manager STOCKDALE, and
others. They like to make, what was to
be a stop for just one before dinner
last into the wee hours .and the consequent
"doghouse”. They especially get a kick
out of having the phone ring for one of
their innocent victims with the "head of
the household" on the other end .
Heard Ralph May talking at work to
"Skinny" Yentzer.
"Sorry I canTt go to the club with
rou tommorrow night." Ralph said., My
life wants me to stay home and watch TV
iith hero"
Continued next column...
”Huh,” snorted Yentzer. You told me
that when you got married you’d be the
boss or know the reason .why.”
’’Yeah,1’ replied May, ’’Now I .know the
reason why.”
BERRY, ABF1 said he heard a couple
of girls discussing marriage prospects.
”1 hear,” said one, ’’That your boy
friend is graduating from law school in
a few weeks, I suppose you’ll be getting
married right away?”
”0h, hot right away,” answered the
other. ”1 want him to practice a couple
years first.”
