MCFFETT KI-LITES
Friday, Moffett received a new OIC. Rele
aving Mr. JACOB was LT John NONNI Jr. I
would like to say welcome aboard and Good
Luck to LT NONNI with his new duties as OIQ
and speaking far the whole crew would like
to say Good Luck and ’thanks’ to Mr. JACOB
for all the help he gave us; especialy in
the itfay of FOOS INN.
As most people know, SANFORD,(B.W.), and
BAUGHMAN,(A.J.M.), have been the shuffle
board champions on Moffett, But after last
week, when they went down in defeat to
FORSTER and BROWN, I have my doubts. Any
excuses boys???
Well I’m not the only mascot on Moffett
anymore. With the help of HURLEY', the pow
er plant was able to obtain their own mas
cot. Maybe thats why HURLEY won’t talk to 4
me anymore. Has anyone thought of a name
for it HURLEY???
The Moffett Choir has two new members.
CL^RK and KELLEY have asked for membership
to the group. It seems you can hear them
practicing every night from about Still 10
o’clock. Good luck on ycur singing CLARK,
you're going to need it.'
ATHERTON seems to have a new way of wak
ing people in the morning, or at least
that’s what STEPHEN says. By the way BOB,
what is this new method???
I guess that news is fairly scarce up
here, almost as scarce as KELLY's orders.
See you round the ’rock’,
