MOFFEET HI-LITES
On 4 August, Lundeen, J.V., RM2 left
Adak fer T.I, and separation. We feel
that everyone who knew him will agree
that .the Navy is losing a fine sailor,
shipmate and radioman. We1re going to
mail him this issue of the ’SUN1 so we
want to wish him every success in what
ever he may do in civilian life. From his
record in the Naval service, we feel sure
that he will be as much of a success as
a civilian that he was as a sailor. Good
luok from all of us at Mt. Moffett,Jimmy.
Vs received a new addition to the crew
hers this past week.. ATHERTON, R.H.,RM2
airiving from the Reserve Training Center
Chicago, Illinois. WELCOME ABOARD RM2
ATHERTON. We all hope that you enjoy your
stay here on the misty isle of Adak.
The Moffet soft-.all team played itrs
2nd game of the COMMSTA tourney last week
and this time they were victorious. Final
tally-Moffeet 15, CT's (Comm) 14. As you
can see by the score, it was a close one
all the way with Moffet ecoring the win
ning run in the last of the sixth and
then putting their opponents down in
order in the seventh and final stanza.We
want to offer our congratulations to all
of the team members for a fins effort
but especially to Chief Haxel who pitched
a fine game in spite of pulling two leg
muscles early in the game, and RCSJNFELDT
our shortstop, who made some fine plays
when they were most needed. All in all
it was a fine performance from both teams.
Speaking of performances, French, our
authenticated French Chef, gave quite a
dramatic reading of "THE THREE LITTLE
FITS” recently. We were all amazed at
Frenchy's thesoian talent and the way he
held his audience enthralled throughout
but we feel that he must have had some
prior stage experience......
so long Ttil next week , ."

If returning to Adak was any indicat
ion that you liked it here, Joe WELLS,
BM2 currently of the USS ABNAKI must
love it here.
WELL’s rotated to the ABNAKI at Pearl
following a 12 month tour with Ship's
Division here and 30 days leave in the
lower 48. Soon after his arrival on
the ABNAKI ho wrote his friends he was
coming back to Adak - yes, the ABNAKI
was making a trip to Adak for a tour of
duty as- Station ATF.
A couple of months ago when the ABNAKI
returned to Pearl Harbor via Seattle,
Joes friends down to see him off jokingly
told him as the ship was pulling out "See^
you in a couple months." "Like #$*)#
you will, "Joe replied.
Well, the ABNAKI has returned here for
some operations and who came with her,
yes, you’re right, none other than Adak’s
own BM2 Joseph WELLS.
Ho isn’t unhappy tho, since he'll leave
Adak for the 2nd time via Reeves, bound
for the USS JASON, his new assignment.
After the JASON, who knows, Joe, you
might end up here at Adak for shoreduty.
Ouch.
Wot many Adakians (.Navy personnel) make
two trips out on Reeves but there have
been a few. Carl Dewitt Jay, SKI return
ed to Adak for another tour after leaving
in 1959. Now he leaves Adak again for ^
shore duty at NTC, San Diego. So you see
Adak duty isn’t bad after all.
The fishing contest is still on- don’t
think your entry might not win - The
Salmon are running small or else a lot
of people haven’t been turning their
big ones in. Current leader is under 25
inches.
If you think Adak duty is rough you
ought to do a tour on a cable layer where
4 on 4 off (That’s how it was on the Nep
tune) is only one of the finer points cf
duty. Course' if you like to be at sea -
a cable layer is fine, you’re nearly
always at sea,
