A
Reporter's Notebook
Mr. and Mrs. Baird French left
on the Baranof for their new
home in Phoenix, Arizona. The
French's became an integral
part of town life during their
stay here. Both take an active
part in social and church affairs.
Mr. French came to Seward
several years ago as director
of the Bureau of Public Roads.
They bought a home and became
Seward ites. He has accepted a
position with the State of Ari
zona where they plan to make
a permanent home.
The French home on Sixth
Avenue was sold to Russell
Painter, who is moving this
week and will spend Christmas
in their new and larger home.
The Painter house on Second
Avenue will be occupied by the
Tommy Bie’s—-both families to
start the New Year in new
homes.
Many Sewardites will remem
ber LCDR Everit MacDonald,
who was affectionately known
as Commander Mac. who inaug
urated the Naval Control of
Shipping Office in the port of
Seward in 1950.
Commander Mac is very fond
of Seward and has kept up with
local affairs through this news
paper. He and his wife Erica,
with their three children, are
now stationed in Houston, Texas
as District Commander of the
Gulf area. He sends his regards
to all Seward friends.
The weather is always a good
subject for conversation, espec
ially in Seward this montli—we
have had a lot of weather to be
sure. The report is for rain—for
a change. Remember a few years
ago when it did not begin to
snow until Christinas Eve. then
it came down in real story book
style'.’ How beautiful the big
town tree on the corner of
Fourth and Adams was that year
and that night! Who knows, may
be the weatherman will cooper
ate again this next week- -we
can always hope. Alaskans are
good at that.
Miss Delia Gabriel, nurse at
Seward General Hospital, is en
joying sunshine and a pleasant
vacation in South Carolina. She,
is on leave from the hospital.
Mrs. Phil Durant returned to
her 'home in Portland this week.
She had been visiting her daugh
ter, Mrs. Chester Brown, and
the new grandson.
Mrs. Frank Woods has return
ed home after a stay in Seward
General.
We see by the passenger list
that Mrs. Mae Hoy returned on
the Baranof Thursday.
CALIFORNIA VISITOR
APPRECIATES NATURAL
CHARM AND BEAUTY HERE
Mr. Sydney Gandelman, rep
resenting a manufacturing com
pany in Gardena, California, was
a business visitor in Seward the
first of the week. -
Mr. Gandelman stated that
this was his first trip to Seward,
and he was most favorably im
pressed with the natural charm
and beauty of Seward. Mr. Gan
delman has traveled widely
throughout the States and the
Territory and stated that he had
never been in a town where hos
pitality reigned supreme as it
does in Seward. He expressed
his regrets that he was unable
to spend a greater length of
time in town, however he hoped
to revise his itinerary later and
return to Seward before leaving
for the States, so that he might
enjoy a longer visit with some
of his newly found friends.
