BUSY BONDS FOR THE FUTURE
.MOFFET HIGH-LIGHTS -.
It is really interesting to start a
new column when you have no experience
as a Journalist. The crew at Moffett
was sitting around discussing the title
for this column. We went through Web
ster^ Collegiate Dictionary, Encloy
pedia Brittanica, Roget1s Thesarus arid
Lady Chatterly's Lover, with still no'
title. Oh well, on with the column.
I am sure something will turn up.
We appreciate the nice comments on
the Christmas Star displayed here for
the holidays. We had a lot of volunteers
to put it up-the problem now is getting
it down.
On the 8th of January the MOFFET FATH
ERS received two beautiful Christmas
cards from their adopted son,and daughter)
in Levadia, Greece, and enclosed were
photographs of the children. This cert
ainly made Christmas a little brighter
for the "fathers”.
Since the first of the year we have 2
new'arrivals at the station. EHLY, G.V.
RM2 was received from the USS MARKAB and
SIGHTLER, M.O., FN received from NAVCOM
STA ADAK. Bon Voyage to EVELYN, J.A,,CP
who departed the 10th and to ARRINGTON,
J.M., ET3 who leaves S.at. the 13th,
Donft know whether this is a complim
ent dr not, but the scales were found
broken. Seems there is a lot of over
weights moving about and this certainly
is in direct opposition to the new PT i
program. Word has it, that the Chef is
the culprit. Of all things, his name is
FRENCHY. Certainly no complaints about
the resturant.
Speaking of resturants have you ever
seend the view thorugh the picture win
dows of the Dining Room? We have an ex=
cellent panorama of KULUK BAY. It is
Adak*s equivalent of the "TOP OF THE
MARK" in San Fran or the SKY ROOM at the
El Cortez in San Diego and various other
places of scenic beauty. Particularly
beautiful is the sunrise on clear or
partly cloudy mornings. The sunrises and
sunsets rival those,pn the Franch Riveria
with no distractions such as bikinis,etc.
Oh well, you can*t havq everything!IJ
We are having one .of ADAK’s horizontal
blizzards at the moment so I had better
hitch up my dog sled and break out Andy
my husky, and get t is off to the mail
box.See you next week. RALPH E. FOO,
