EXPRESSION OF
APPRECIATION
To The People of Nome and
Vicinity Collectively and
Individually
We fail to find words that
would adequately express our
gratitude to all those who partici
pated in the search for, and thru
whose tireless and unrelenting
efforts our little boy, Timmy, was
finally located safe and sound.
The immediate response to the
alert was heart - warming. The
many aviators who, with their
observers, skillfully swept the
area at low level until darkness
set in, and who resumed at early
dawn and continued until success
crowned their efforts.
The long night vigil of the hun
dreds of ground searchers, over
tundra, swamps and ravines con
tinued without letup, as well as
those who with the aid of small
boats scoured Snake River for
miles.
The food, hot coffee and other
supplies seemed to arrive on
every truck and car and was
tirelessly dispensed by capable
women and teenagers.
All civic, military, federal, ter
ritorial and industrial organiza
tions were well represented and
a fine spirit of intelligent coop
eration was manifested through
out the long search. It was all
just wonderful.
To each and all we' tender our
heartfelt thanks and appreciation.
And may God bless you!

and children,
and all the Walshes
