ROMANCE BETWEEN NORTH & SOUTH. ;
Once when John Lorenzen was com
ing back to his work on the A.R.O.
from a trip to the ctates he met a
lovely tourist lady on the boat.
Since he was a great big Alaskan
from the big out-cf doors IX was re
sourceful, friendly, ho nest, big-har ted
p hospitable & strait-forward as
real Alaska men are,she could’nt
help liking such a fine man .We boys
know just how’ nice he is Sc he always
.minks it’s Christmas & gives us
presents all our lives. Te hope he
gives her as nice big boxes of can
dy as he used to give us. She is a
socialite down in Los Angeles & they
were recently happily married',He ’ s
got a fine steady job & a big ranch*
TLith their money and brains they
ought to do a lot of good for Alaska
and Los Angeles.TT^e give them our be*
best regards for a happy honeymoon
which they are having down in Tia- .
Juana & a long happiness & industri
ousness .
The S.S.Alaska got into Cordova
