NAVFAC NEWS
"Louella Parsons" the writer for the Adak 3un*s column from NAVFAC maintains
that the name "Adak Sun" stems from the fact that it comes out only once a week.
Each Friday the crew scatters when they see Ensign WEDDELL, better known as
"Louella Parsons", caning down the passageway. Week after week all that is heart
around the Facility is - there just isn!t any news for the Adak Sun. Fhsign
Tlv'EDDEL is in the wrong branch of the Navy. He should be with Naval Intelligence
From each dark comer comes the figure of Mr. WEDDELL with his little note book
and a mad gleam in his eye. Each Friday he sits down to his typewriter with his
"hot tips" and proceeds to write the NavFac News. It is not known how many sto
olies*are on his payroll, but then, "Louella" could never reveal the sources of
his information.
Could* Mr. TWEDDELL be affected by some of the great, achievements of those few
of the crew he has been writing about?? We realize that Mr. TWEDDELL could never
be CMAA as well as 3KCS (BM) BRATCHER and that it will be many years before
"Louella”- will need to shave his upper lip, and it will probably take 40 years
of Navy life to become half as salty as Chief Boatswain’s Mate WILSON. Then to
speak of lovers - We are sure Dave SEPI is much more proficient then he* We
understand that Mr. TWEDDELL blushes when he pets a female animal] ] Mr, TWEDDELL
states he suffered no chock upon arriving at Adak, aside from the fact that he
has had considerable difficulty adjusting to strong Navy adjectives.• *
However, say what you will about Louella Parsons, the personnel of the Naval
Facility feet that Mr. TWEDDELL writes one of the better columns in the Adak
Sun, and we hope it continues for many more issues. *
If the weather doesn’t mess things up, which it looks like it might do as this
goes to print, Ensign KOSTIN and Chief Byrd will meet their wives who arrive on
the Reeve flight this week,

The Chief Boatswain*s Mate received an unexpected tribute this past week during
personnel inspection* .The Chief, who had been evident at every basketball game
during the winning season,. received an individual trophy similar to the one
given each member of the basketball team* The only difference was that this
particular one wore a green felt skirt and had D. 0. WILSON, BMC, NAVFAC-CHEER- -
LEADER CHIEF, engraved on* it. If the fans back home could only see him now,,.*/
Arthur HAMILTON, YN2, managed to leave a physical fitness card lying about wit I
150 pull ups, 200 sit ups and 75 push ups filled in. There was also the follow
ing entered under administrative remarks: "This man can qualify for the Olympic
games any time he so desires," We wonder why he puffs and grunts so when he has
to open his desk drawer every once in a while,..
The Misfits are still first in the bowling competition. The Wayouts deflated
