We’d like to wish you all a Happy New Year! And hope the holiday season
just ended was the best one so far. We think most of the women on Adak have
the same New Years’ resolution, according to the booming sales of Metrecal.
Seriously, though, we think a good New Years' Resolution for everyone is to
spread thanks and praise around to all those who deserve. There are plenty,
too, even here on Adak. We all like to gripe about the weather,’the commissary,
waiting for doctors, scraping snow off car windows, the TV & radio, etc, etc;
but a kind word goes a long way. We’d just like to S3y thanks to the many peo
ple who perform services here. Not meaning to be corny, but why not look on
the "Bright" side?
The new commissary is just beautiful, and the men who work there are contin
ually trying to please. We particularly appreciate the patience of the check
out man when he has to wait for a check to be approved and there is a long line
of customers waiting.
We have great respect for the doctors and nurses at the station Hospital,
Theirs* is not an easy job, one which required many years of special training
and many hours of long work, -We appreciate especially the good nature of doc
tors and nurses who have to get up at 2 A.Wi, to deliver babies, (Why do the
little stinkers always seem to come at odd hours??) In our opinion, these
doctors and nurses are worth waiting for!
As for the TV and radio here, where else can you get it without commercials?
Since the survey conducted by the AFRTS people (remember when you filled out
all those papers and told what you really wanted? ) TV and radio programing has
really improved. A pat on the back to LTJG Bunn and his staff.
As for scraping snow off car windows, that goes along with the weather and
its just human nature to gripe about the weather whereever we are. Come on now,
Admit it, don't we all gripe back in the spates, that its either too cold, too
hot, too wet, or too dry? One advantage to these short days, is that all us
l£te raisers get to see the sunrise; each one different, each one beautiful.
Now we'll get down off the soap-box and wish a few people Happy Birthday.
Myrna Clayton, Audre Butler, and Mrs. Voll all celebrated Dec. 27. Lilah McVey
.celebrated Dec. 28 and Mrs. G. L. West yesterday, Jan. 2. Those soon to cele
brates Bill Tremblay and Dick Evitt on Jan. . 5; James Tremblay on Jan. 8. Happy
Birthday folks and many more.
We'd like to wish get-well to SKI Stumpf;. FA Donald; SACG Davis; and AN
Zajac, who are in the station hospital as we go to press, and congratulations
to Mr. & Mrs. Sponhem who had a baby boy, 7 lbs. 8 oz. on Dec. 28. (Just in
time for that tax exemption! ) • . h ....
