Departures: We just lost a prominent citizen beyond a doubt.
Roger G. CORDRY, SKI, was transferred to' NAVCOMMSTa, Port Lyautey, Morocco,
CORDRY was unusually active at COKMST/*. and his absence will be felt by many,
During his off-duty hours he could be found refereeing basketball'games-and .in the
the summer months umpiring softball. Besides playing an active part in sports,
he also, during his off-duty hours, performed the duties of a Club Manager for
MClub 21" and pin-setter in our bowling alleys <as well as bookkeeper for the
Special Services Division. Speaking of pin-setting,.CORDRY had the reputation
of being the only man on the "Station to have received a beautiful "black eye"
while engaged in this diminishing trade.
A farewell to CORDRY and the best of luck on his next assignment.
