Andy was .well known throughout the music
world on this island as a hot bull fid
dle player with Rita’s combo. The crew
from Mt, Moffett will no doubt miss him
the most. On.behalf of the crew, Andy,
thanks for your good' company and lot's

REDDER, E.P,,.UTi,: has joined us and will
■ take over most of Andy's duties... You
might say this, note is a Hail and Fare- .
well. -
Andy mentioned to me that he certainly
enjoyed being with the fine“crew at Mt
Moffett and honestly hates to•leave. The
boys on the hill are the best .group of
fellows he has served with and he hopes
to see all the guys soon, (in Japan, of
course).
See ya,

when it was often necessary for you to
climb the 320 foot tower,.the 300 foot
tower, and the high wooden support poles,
to repair damages to antennas, lights anc
fixtures".."You have often worked ex
tra hours, including off-duty hours to
accomplish urgently needed repairs, in
stallation and maintenance of amateur ra
dio station antennas.various improv
ments to recreation facilities, and many
other tasks which highly benefitted the
station and prompted high morale." "Your
professional competence in several trade?
including rigging, climbing, plumbing ,
woodworking, metalworking, telephone mail
tenance, and your ’can-do’ spirit have
been a most valuable asset to this coramai
and have assisted in meeting operational
commitments.4’ •
