Well we had a group dive last Saturday,
the 27th of October and I believe every
one really enjoyed themselves.
Our last meeting we had, proved to be
ite educational and interesting^ As
entioned in last weeks column CDR D.
R. FERRIN would give a lecture. At this
time this column would like to take
uu
«fc
pleasure in thanking CDR FERRIN very
much for his very inspiring talk. At
our next meeting we hope that the CDR
will return and possible give another
one
Those of you divers who have an interest
in this particular column will probably
be interested to know that it will get
considerably shorter. There is a short
age of news, plus the fact to much pub
licity in the paper deprives the club of
|Lts privacy. Unfortunately there is one
Rther small reason. It appears that som
of the information printed in this coluir
has been taken the wrong way and not corn
pletly understood by some readers. This
in turn has been the basis of some fic
ticious rumors, both partialy and com
pletly erroneous, Therefore, just short
items'of news interest, such as a diving
hint, notification of a meeting, an
interesting item from a diving magazine,
etc,, will be mentioned.
Well divers this about wraps it up for
another week. Keep smiling, Keep diving
and Keep practicing safety, If you don*
keep safety first, one can expect to see
the worst.
Until we meet on th^ bottom

MOFFETT HI-LITES
Leaving Adak this week was MEADOWS, D.G.
SN. MEADOWS just recently renlisted
under the STAR program for training in the
Machine© accountant field. After spend
ing is leave in the land of Will Rogers
and the Comrcanchees, he will report for
duty at the PAMI installation in Seattle.
Asked how he felt about leaving Adak,
MEADOWS replied that he was leaving with
mixed emotions,, Said he did*nt know
whether to laugh, grin, chuckle, or smile.
Also leaving, but not Adak is SMITH, L.E.
ETN2 and EDWARDS, S. H0, RM2. .They are
departing for the new Naval Facility.
They figure that they will get about fif
teen minutes travel time and eight cents
travel allowance* Don{t forget to come
up and see us once in a while, we’ll have
a bowl of soup ready for you.. This
assignment came as a shock to SMITH who
has already spent fourteen months on Adak.
Welcome back ATHERTON, ATHERTON has just
returned from emergency leave in the lower
forty-eight, and wants to thank all the
..people who helped make his trip possible.
We;ve missed him at Moffett and are really
happy to have him back.•••••This is the r
first time we have had the chance to say
welcome back in this column, so we guess
it’s a first of some sort...
It has been discovered that we have a
couple of aspiring linguists at Moffett.
It seems that WAITS is studing Russian and
jihat PSTRYKOWSKI (That’s the tape recorder
expert) is stumbling through something
that he refers to as Hebrew. We have no
report on how WAITE is doing, but SKI
seems to have the phrase "Skish Kebab"
pretty much down pat.• •••«<> Now if LYONS
will let us teach him some fractions some
evening, it won’t be long before we have
some very literate people here at Moffett.
The truth is out. We have learned the
secret of Chief Haxel*s sucess, But we
fhave this to say. Nobody drinks imported
olive oil. Oh well. To each his own.
Well That’s All This Week, Folks,
See you "Round the Rock,
Ralph E, Foo
