Action in fishing is still slow with more reports of "nuttin" then those of
any catches. Notable, however, was a catch of a 12 inch Rainbow caught by Bob
Simcoe, ENl, IBCG in a spot he was led tp by Tom "Pudgy” Thompson, BT1 who immed»
iately put in for five days leave and has teen beating the tundra all this week
trying to match the catch.
1 can’t disclose‘the spot, however LCDR KLEIN and LT DOLLEY fished it quite a
bit last season. It is near a waterfell and actually don’t look like much of a
fishing spot. This was the only catch made by fisherman Simcoe but it is a good
sign and this time Muskie can vouch for the authenticity of the catch since he
saw the fish shortly after it was dressed out. It was a beautiful Rainbow.
Chief Malone, the Captain*s Writer or Chief Barber X200 during the day would
like to bfc given the word when the candlefish start running.
It*s too bad the law says a nice load of rocksalt or buckshot can’t be used
to deter whoever it j.s that’s helping themselves to other peoples shrimp traps.
These characters don t even have the decency to re-bait them and put them back
in the water. Remember, it!s disciplinary action if you get caught.
At the same time Chief McVickers, SKC from ComSta would like. it known that if
the persons or person who keep busting into his cabin will contact him he’ll be
only too glad to furnish them with a key. His cabin is at Finger Bay and of late
has had its rear window busted in more often than is desirable.
Speaking of cabins - the Editor of the paper H.T. DAVIS, YN1 has written a
story about Adakians and their cabins and subjects are* needed to be photographed
before it is released. Any family on Adak who would like to have their picture
taken at their cabin for release with this story please contact him at X365 or
367 during working hours. Families with children who have a cabin near a stream
or scenic view are desired.
Had a letter passed to me from the Editor from "THE MYSTERY CHEF” which suggest
a weekly recipe be inserted in the Adak Sun* The Editor said he had no objections
and who am I to say, so if the "MYSTERY CHEF" will send her or his copy to the
Editor c/o Central Files by Thursday of each week they shall be published* The
Mystery Chef says that these recipes will be "Not the fancy kind of cockeryjthat
apparently has been rejected by the stronger sex; but the old fashioned kind that
your orandmother used with a great deal of success*" We*11 all be looking for
ward to them. By the way, the MYSTERY CHEF mailed the. letter here with an Airmail
stamp on it - wonder who the MYSTERY CHEF is? Guess we*11 put "Snooper" CHAVIE,YN2
on the job* CHAVIE and SWANK, your friendly Security Investigators are now work
ing on the case of the raided shrimp traps - so you shrimp stealers beware.
SEAVEY was a topic of conversation this Friday when TOMASULA, who put in for
Texas received orders to San Diego and MC KINNEY who put in for San Diego got
orders for guess where - - no not Texas, San Diego* Tom was dissapointed but
Mac was completely happy* Well, that just goes to show you.
In the Commissary Notos this week, LT HARPCOL, Officer in Charge states he
is looking forward to duty in the lower *48 in the land of plentiful LETTUCE* He
is no doubt locking forward to leaving but many, a great many, of his patrons at
the Commissary Store will be SAD to see him go. In spite of the difficulties
that have been experienced from time to time in produce which is not his fault
at all, many persons have commented on the fine job that he has done as OinC of
our Commissary. There have been many improvements, his patience and understanding
with customers and constant striving to make shopping in tne Commissary a
pleasure have been noted by many of the "old timers" on Adak who know* Methinks
it appropriate then, that a tip of Muskies hat and a WELL DONE are in order for
LT HaRPOOL, our scon departing OinC of the Commissary Storej if your LETTUCE is
a little rusty its still good and well -just-keep smilin'
