"CASPER THE GHOSTS OF THE WILLTWAWS
First of all folks I wdnt to j apoligize for not submitting a column to the
Editor of our glorious ADAK SUM but my military duties kept me from enough time
to prepare one, 'Anyway, enough about apologies cause you probably don’tbelieve
me anyway, • :
Was down at the Reeves leminal this morning to see tne departing ocian.
Amongst the lucky folks were PENA (RM3) from Communication^, CS2 and Mrs. Brow
nell from the Commissary Store and my very good friends Lt and Vern Deaton from
our Security Department. Sure was a crowd there to see the folks off. Casper
even got to hold the Springer's new baby for awhile (in practice for my Linda
who I will be seeing in Just 38 and a wake-up). On the subject of Lt Springer;
Well, when the plane was ready to depart the Springers got into their vehicle
but he couldn't start it, so Lt-Deaton (still acting as Security Officer) got
in and started it, no strain, no'pain. After starting it he got out and told
Mr. Springer that it was in drive and had to be put in' neutral before the car
would start. ....
Bumped into Mack Flanders (RMCA) today,then:(RM1) and he seemed quite inter
ested in what the CPO Initiation Forces have in store, for him today at the ini
tiation ceremonies, Somehow he heard that Casper was doing some work for Chief
Young for the initiation and he kept asking me what I was doing, and without
being disrespectful to my senior petty officer, I told him I couldn't tell him.
He made all kinds of threats to me. Chief Krumme (MMCM) how about adding an**
other charge against Chief Flanders? For threats made to CASPER.
Seems that whenever LTJG Weber hears "The Theme from Summer Place'.' it re
minds him of a certain little lady. Cheer-up! Build yourself a snowman and
then throw snowballs at it. Same department, "Freddie Junior" Beshara (SK2)
from the Special Services Department has joined the ranks of Disc Jokies and I
do mean Jokie, Sorry Fred, Just to show you I can Speel it correct here it is
JOCKEY. Mow, there. Hey Taula (SN) "Why don't you stand your watch?"
Young Taula is the gent who puts in his off duty hours at the Skating Rink then
bothers the daylights out of the accountants that prepare the checks on extra
comp pay days. Poor Taula, he got his check early on pay day, then had to car
ry it around all weekend cause nobody would cash it for him. He also trys to
promote business for the Ski-lodge to keep people away from the skating rink
so he can loaf around. Ashmore (SN) alias "Oink Jones" had better mail those
checks out so the books can be kept straight. Seems that ole' Oink Jones likes
to let them pile up (for weeks).
Glad to see Lee Stumpf (SKI) up and about again. Izzy went him back to
work today. After Izzy found out from Disbursing that she couldn't pick up
Lee's money on payday today, she decided to take Lae off the sick list and send
him back on the job.
Saw Sergeant Major Donovan skiing through the snow drifts the other day
with his pack securely strapped to his back. I keep wondering Sarge, it's ok
skiing home since it is all downhill but how the heck do you get back to the
Marine Barracks from your home???
Understand LTJG Rives, our Disbursing Officer, is leaving the car running
when he goes to work in the morning, or as a matter of fact he never turns off
the ignition. Seems that Mrs. Rives is ready to make that trip to the hospital
in the stork department, where they deliver storks....I mean babies. Are you
nervious?? N n n nope! Casper tried to keep Mr. Rives from getting nervous
since it was just a short while ago that I waw down that road called Storksvi&e.

Don't try to convince Chief Sipe (RMC), Chief Sipe was hooping and Hollering
at Friday's mailcall when he got his first choices Eugene, Oregon; CASPER
