Widgeon Loses
Race To Stork
By Sister St. Hilary
The stork won a close race with
*• Groman Super Widgeon, owned
and piloted by Gentry W. Shuster
the Alcan Airways, Anchorage,
last Saturday evening.
Mr. Shuster, his wife Patsy, and
Roger Mackenzie, also of Anchor
age, were at Cold Bay when a call
came in from the Alaska Native
Health Service, requesting evacua
tion of Mrs. Sophie Holmberg of
Sanak, who was experiencing dif
ficulty. The Widgeon immediately
took off for Sanak, where the
patient was picked up at 2:15: a
stop was made at Cold Bay where
fortunately a Canadian Pacific
Airliner Tokyo-bound plane was
refueling. On board were a nurse
stewardess and a nurse passenger,
both of whom examined the
patient, predicted about three
hours’ time, and gave the anxious
pilot supplies of blankets, towels,
first aid kit, etc. which proved to
be invaluable two hours later.
At 6:15 p.m., thirty-five miles
south-east of Chignik, altitude
2,000 feet, young Paul Ernest
Holmberg made his appearance,
assisted by Mr. Mackenzie, w'.ose
sole claim to obstetrical experi
ence lay in the fact that he had
been permitted into the delivery
room when his own three children
were born in Seattle. Thus cloths
Providence arrange seemingly dis
contented events.
The Hospital had been alerted
by the Coast Guard; Dr. A. Holmes
Johnson, who was on hand wait
ing for the ambulance,' went into
immediate action when it arrived.
Paul Ernest weighs a healthy nine
pounds; neither he nor his mother
show any signs of ill effects from
their exciting air trip.
