Touch of Hawaii at CPO Club
by George Cates
The atmosphere within the
Naval Station CPO Club last
Saturday evening was that of
Hawaii and probably will never
be seen again on the Station to
equal what the CPO wives accom-
plished and what was enjoyed by
approximately 100 attending the
affair. Theme was originated by
Jean Ryan, Carolyn Hawkins, Lois
Hewitt, and Kaye Williams who
worked diligently and long hours
to transform the dining area into
a bit of Hawaii with palm trees
and all. In fact, several comments
were heard that once inside, it
was difficult to believe you were
still in Iceland.
As couples arrived in Hawaiian
dress with leis, the usual “Aloha”
was exchanged. Next, small
group gatherings followed with
conversation and questions mixed
somewhat with emotions among
those departing and those arriv-
ing here in Iceland.
Guests of honor at the “Hail &
Bless” were: Rear Admiral and
Mrs. Frank B. Stone, commander,
Iceland Defense Force, Rear Ad-&
miral H. N. Wallin, commander,
Atlantic Division, Naval Facilities
Engineering Command, Norfolk,
who was on an official tour of the
facilities here, Captain and Mrs.
Emile E. Pierre, commanding offi-
cer, U. S. Naval Station, Kefla-
vik, and Colonel and Mrs. Richard
H. Broach, commander, Air Forces
Iceland.
Mrs. Pierre, an honorary mem-
ber of the CPO Wives Club, was
presented a gift for her past in-
terests and participation in Club
activities; who, incidentally, was
here when the Club was in the
formative stages, about two
years ago. She made a farewell
talk, commenting on how wonder-
ful it was to see the wives form
a Club and of the many good
deeds being performed by un-
selfish wives who give so much of
their time to make other wives
and families enjoy their stay in
Iceland. Mrs. Pierre said: “An
excellent example of the wives
accomplishments is displayed
right here tonight and the turn
out shown here tonight is proof
enough that what the CPO Wives
Club is doing, is being greatly ap-
preciated. I’ve enjoyed every min-

WE RECEIVE IT, WE SHIP IT!—The 21 enlisted men of U. S. Naval Station Keflavik’s Air Cargo Division of the Operation Department
never really know when that next aircraft will arrive or how much cargo it has on board. But, they do know there will be cargo, for an
average of 120,600 pounds is handled by Air Cargo crew members monthly. Primary mission of Air Cargo is to provide air logistic sup-
port to the Station and supporting activities in Iceland. This includes loading and off-loading by the use of a special loader, a weird looking
rig that is raised to the aircraft’s door where the cargo is then rolled off the plane on tracks onto the loader. The loader is then lowered and
driven to a nearby truck where the cargo is then transferred and taken to the warehouse or another waiting aircraft that might be headed for
either H-2 or H-3 sites. Non-commissioned officer in charge is Petty Officer First Class, Grover Traylor, 26, a native of Rockport, Tex. who
commented, *jWe handle everything from produce, nuts and bolts, right down to that letter from home.”
FOOD, LOTS OF IT—and every
bit deliciously prepared. Captain

THIS IS JUST WONDERFUL—were most likely the words spoken by
Rear Admiral H. N. Wallin to Rear Admiral and Mrs. Frank B. Stone.
The three were honored guests at the Luau held last Saturday in the
CPO Club.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?—Chief Petty Officer Jim and
Helen Carter along with Colonel and Mrs. Richard H. Broach seem to
