Dean Bronson
Enjoys the Nugget
I In East Pakistan)
Mrs. Rose Bronson has received
a letter from her son Dean, who
is working for an oil exploration
company in Dacca, East Pakistan.
Dean is a helicopter maintenance
foreman.
He says of the Nome Nuggets
that his mother sends him: “After
I’ve read them several times I
send them on to Trinket Freeman
in Alexanderia, Egypt. I don’t
doubt that the Nugget is the most
widely read and travelled paper
there is.”
Trinket Freeman is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Evern for
merly of Candle.
Dean also said that reading the
home town paper brings on a
pleasant case of nostalgia for the
little town on Bering Sea and he
“wouldn’t trade Nome for the
whole cotton-pickin’ East.”
Dean has been in the East for
almost two years, and hopes soon
to be sent home on a furlough.
He hopes to be able to fly across
the Pacific to Los Angeles, thus
circling the globe since he went
from L.A. to Egypt when he first
went overseas.
