RADIO CITY MEWS
Holidays, for most of us, moan festivity, with our favorite and traditional
foods, and an air of celebration. Thanksgiving Day, in particular, brings to
mind food. Turkey and dressing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie - all make us
think of November and the Thanksgiving holiday. But to one group of people,
this season means something else, too. It meads a great deal of planning, long
hard hours of preparation, and inevitable last minute details to have everything
"just right". You know whom we're talking about; the Cooks and the people who
work in the Galley.
Thanksgiving Day 1962 at NAVCOMMSTA was no exception. In addition to feeding
the regular crew, dependents and guests of NAVCOMMSTA personnel were invited to
share the Thanksgiving Day dinner.
Chief Commissaryman WILLIAMS and his crew of cooks and galley personnel exceeded .
all expectations in preparing and serving a most delicious dinner for a total of '
424 people, of whom 133 were dependents and guqpts, A "Well Done" is certainly
deserved by Chief WILLIAMS, NEEDY, CS1, ELLEDGI^, CS1 (who reported just in time
to help), GRAY, CS2, YENTZER, CS2, JANSSEN, CS3-, WILSON, CS3, GILBERT, SN, and
FINNIGAN, CTSN, and all of the galley personnel, and of course, the Master-at
Arms, STEWART, BM1 for their outstanding ex-forts. It was not only "as good as
Mother used to make", it was better,
KODIAK HUNTING TRIP - Two of our Chiefs, Matt GILMORE and "Chick" ARNOLD just
completed what they termed "a successful but unsuccessful" deer hunting trip in
Kodiak, The trip’s highlight was when Chief GILMORE shot at a buck, and-though
not killing it, retrieved enough skin and hair to make a toupee for a-medium
size mouse, GILMORE and /JINOLD were treated to the use of a cabin some forty
miles out of Kodiak by Master Chief BAGLEY of C0M17. Although no deer were kil
led on the trip, the duo indicated that the mere sight of all the trees on Kodiak
alone was worth the time they spent on leave,
INVOLUNTEERS VOLUNTEER - Two NAVCOMMSTA personnel, Kenneth J. JENSEN, CT3 and
Frank SAMPSON, Jr,, CT2, took advantage of NAVACT 18 and voluntarily extended
their enlistment for one year last Friday, Both men had been involuntarily ex
tended for one year by ALNAV 39, but after carefully considering the orders they
had on board decided to stay in the Navy for one more year, JENSEN will leave
the command for Marietta, Washington on 30 November 1962 and SAMPSON will depart
the same day for Northwest, Virginia,
