Of This And That
By Betha Digree
A vacation is wonderful. . . even
tho one must attend a few meet
ings (fortunately ours proved in
teresting). . . It can be especially
nice when there are such thought
ful hosts and hostesses as those
the Alaska members of the As
sociated Press had while in An
chorage over the weekend. . .
Cocktail parties. . . dinners. . .
sightseeing. . . brunch. . . cor
sages. . . tennis matches. . . trans
portation. . . and, above, courtesy
and friendliness. . . Nice, too, to
have a comfortable hotel room
. . . breakfast in bed. . . three
inch thick steaks that have been
broiled to perfection. . . down
town- streets all paved. . . Of
course, the traffic lights are a
problem at first. . . one forgets
them. . . The U S Air Force and
the U. S. Army contributed a
great deal toward the education
and entertainment of the visitors
... Jet scrambles. . . helicopter
rides. . . inspection of Radar and
Nike installations. . . a demonstra
tion of weapons power. . . brief
ings that gave a deeper under
standing of our defense system,
and the feeling that the armed
forces are doing everything pos
sible to safeguard our country,
our homes and families. . . More
citizens should watch these men
at work. . . realize their problems
. . . and be extremely grateful
that they are alert and ready to
defend the country. . .
Many former Kodiak residents
are now living in Anchorage. . .
saw Aline La Lande, who asked us
to say her reason for not having
written friends here is because
she has been ill since leaving. . .
she is now feeling much better,
and Max, too, is well. . . Met Mar
ion Howe and his family on the
street. . . chatted a few minutes
. . . Saw Bud and Nita Metzgar at
the airport. : . they both said they
are homesick for Kodiak. . . Whit
ey Miller is buyer for the West
ward Hotel (Chart Room and Grill
. . . Doris Tegstrom phoned. . .
Talked to Pearl Wallis, who is
still enthused over fishing, and
beachcombing. . . they all sent
regards to their friends here. . .
Our one regret was that it all
had to end so soon. . . .
