[p ! THE OLD REFRAIN | “Why don’t you writx an item for ‘\hv column some Thursday,” we've been sked, ‘“about some of the [fellows and the girls who have been identified a long while with |the USO? You frequently men- ition newcomers,—and thats a "good thing. But there may be| | rea of the column who no |longer are stationed in Juneau |and who would get a big kick from |1:ven the mere reading of the ‘n‘xmvs of old friends, allhuu;.)\ there might not happen to be any- quare | concerning them.” & We can't think of a single valid son for not writing such an item, nor a more appropriate mo- {ment than the prewnt for doing {it. And it pleases us a lot to be told that probably the column has many readers who would like to {find in it the names of their well- {remembered friends still enjoying, |this v.ll-remembered spot. i And so let’s have a look over lhe’ club lounge and into the canteen | right now | there's certainly a group of familiar faces, seen over many a hand dur-| ling the past 15 months,—they're| playing casino now, those fillows from the Sub Port, Gerry Krog-! man, Nick Castiglione and John| “Deac” Trella, all from Chicago, | while Gordon “Doc” Stewart and | Bob Hollander, also from Chicago, | land Bob Kessenich, of Madison, | wis., lodk on. . . . Farther down the room are four more good friends of ours, in the| | Coast Guard, the crew of the CG 50007, who get into the club only cecasionally nowadays,—highly |garded Harold “Hi” Lee, the skip- | per, whose, home is in Petersburg, | together with Roy Hansen, from | Spokane, Wash.,, Steve Kudabeck, |of Chicago, and Bob Smith, who | hails from Eugene, Ore. . . | But of cour:: there aren’t just imen in the clubhouse. Across the! (room we can see popular Mary Muggs Wendling, who is telling veral members of a Coast, Guard | cutter about the grand time she had on her recent trip to Skag- | way (but, then, isn't Muggsy always | having a grand time wherever she |1s'v . And, speaking of Coast | Guard cutters, that certainly was a pleasant surprise for all of us ;wnpn the “McLane” made its un- r-xpeuc(l reappearance kire the | other day, incidentally with one of ‘r\u oldest friends aboard her in | the person of red-haired Johnny | Gilmartin, of Los Angeles. (Here's | hoping for an varly repeat pe { formance) | Maybe youre wondering whether Sgt. William Weaver, of the Sub Port Company, from Chicago, still is stationed ip Juneau? Yes, Bill, __jof the golden voice continues to| \bles\ us with his singing and with | | that ss engaging personality of his over there at the piano right now. (Among the memories {of Juneal and its USO which we | personally expect to treasure |longest is sure to be our good friend’s singing of the ore and | only “Annie Laurie™. . . . | - Coming through the door at this i moment is another old friend of |long standing, Coast Guardsman John Gionfreddo, from Connecti- {cut and Washington, D. C. who |has long been identified promi- Inently in a number of the club’s | activities, but who (to our keen j1ugret) expects to be stationed in | Juneau only a short while longer.' Now we're slipping out to the |canteen to see whether we can“ | | | | | | report to you on the presence there|week and may escort the Territories E"‘*SO" ‘Ccmmlttfle |of at lrast a couple of the “oldest | inhabitants” among the servicemen | stationed in Juneau. As we pass| | the bulletin board we note the | | cartoon cut from the “New Yorkex"i {in honor of the home town of one | of those old inhabitants, Sgt. Lesls | Swanson, by name. The pict\u'el shows a desk in the national head- | quarters of the OPA; one official !is rushing up to another with a | telegram, saying “Red Wing, Minn., reperts a fall of manna, and wishes to know what the ceiling price is.” Yis, the genial Leslie is still on| hand, and much delighted with| that cartoon. . . . At the canteen, sure enough, are a half-dozen *of the other old' timers hereabouts, fellows who have paid the USO the compliment of almest daily attendanc: since it cpened nearly 32 months ago,— Headquarters Company members Dudley James, Joe McShane and Jesse Leithe, the latter two from Detroit, Mich.; M. C. “Mike” Mick’:, of Nashville, Tenn.; Johnny Roviscanic, of Warren, Ohio; Art Suminski, hailing from Detroit; and Tony Grelle, who comes from St. Louis, Mo. These men, our staff feels, are to be numbered among the most loyal of all the club's friends. . . While on the subjoct of loyalty it is appropriate to mention one more name in particular,—the name of GSO Girl Audrey Steele, who is helping at the cantien now, and who, during the past year has been endearing herself to countless of our men by virtue of her thoughtfulness and the sweetness of her wery feminine disposition.

Occasi- onally, of course, it's necessary to call upon civilians for such assist- ance. But nine times out of ten it's a GI who does the job for us. The Coast Guard, the ACS, the the Sub Port,—each stands ready to do anything and everything within its power to be helpful. And rach group gets its full share of de- mands from us. But it's the men of Port that we find ourselves impos- ing upon most often, we're sure. The latest big job done by some of its men was the one we referred to in last week’s column,—the re- building of the USO station wagon. Last Thursday we treated the sub- ject with some humor under the “The Body Beautiful”; butour of gratitude was tenc:d to be none the less em- ! phatic. Today it is a privilege to acknowledge once again the club's deep indebtedness to Major Chester Wagner, Commanding Officer of the Port, and to his men who did the job, especially to Frank Ven- trelli and to George Tomsky, both from Chicago, Il The assignment and imagination, tience.
