MAINTENANCE GREASE SPOTS
By Bruce Cassell
We thought that by this time there would be
lots of fishing stories to tell, but it seems that
everyone is com.plaining about the big ones "that
got away.” Several of the fellows have taken their
vacations to go fishing, but it seems that they
have gotten more enjoyment out of the cigars
that Tom Poor and Joe Wright have passed around
than they have fishing.
We are very sorry that we didn’t know that
Carrol Fletcher was moving to North Brevard.
We would have been very glad to help him move.
Our singing tinner, Medford Cooper, took one
week of his vacation to work in his garden, but
it seems that he dug more worms than he did
weeds—they are very good fishing bait so we un
derstand.
We wish to express our appreciation to the
company for the interest that the Medical De
partment has been taking in us; and we want to
urge the Maintenance employees to take advant
age of the tetanus shots and the Blood Bank.
The Maintenance Department wishes to ex
press their heartiest congratulations and best
wishes to Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Vassey, who cele
brated their 29th wedding anniversary on May
12th.
