di dah Company News by B by Moose

This week, marriage headed the list of newsworthy items in Di Dah Company. Miss Carol Anderson, the bride to be, finally arrived in Asmara and put to an end the frustration for the groom, Chuckie Holmes. Our men had gone through a few hectic days when Carol could not get a flight out of the snow-entangled J F K Airport. The lovely bride to-be arrived only a few hours prior to the wedding and immedately supervised the last minute arrangements. With these bits of the main woman's touch along with the touch of the best man, Clint Culpepper, things went along very beautifully. The vows were exchanged and everyone headed

for the Oasis Club to offer congralations and to really get down to celebrating. 7Welcome to the hill Carol and may the best of everything come to you and Chuckie. In the absence of the hard man of the company, 1LT C. S. Johnson, the man here hopes that the fun loving characters will check it and really take advantage of this occasion while a new guy, 1LT A. Jackson, is behind the big desk. Remember, the record for piling bods into a Volkswagen is fourteen and a DR. The record holder is our own Wayne McCarthy. Ken Kruse is at last ending his tenure here at Kagnew as he prepares to head for the sloping hills and verdant greens of Vint Hill Farms. The people in the know seem to think that this is a signal for a U. S. pullout in Ethiopia. Let's have a very big CIAO for one of the founding sergeants of this station. Prvate Ken Schleppi has returned from his brief TDY tour with the Military Police detachment and has moved into the newly created position of administrative assistance for personnel. As another local boy makes good, the word is "Hang on in Schlep." In the local sport news, the Lizards are just getting ready to deal on the National League. With such talented performers as Sparky Boozer, Americus Bell, Greenie Greenfelder, and Gary Malazzo, the Lizards have shown time and time again that they are the team to beat. Over in the American League, the Vandals have proved that they too can really sock it to them as their top guns, Jerry Dobson, Ken Seery, Mike Shuff, Cal Calahan, and Fireman Fairman are saying. "We will get them in the playoffs." The Delta Dragoons have been the most likable group of guys on the field thus far. With the greatest of ease, they have managed to win only one game while dropping four big ones. Thus proving to everyone that if there is a secret to losing, then the talentless Dragoons must have it.
