Kodiak Diary
(continued from page 3)
once. “No, he don’t, the light
plant does that.” You see Danny
lives opposite the Kodiak Electric
Association plant and he knew
what went on over there.
There are times when Danny
has to be disciplined. This is on
ly in keeping with his tireless en
ergy. The usual form is to be
put to bed. When he is good, he
is up and about, supervising the
care of the other patients, the
business office, and helping hi»
friend Sergeant Tom. Sgt. Tom,
of Fort Greely, utilizes his spare
time assisting the sisters in clean,
ing the wards and corridors and
and taking orders from Danny.
One day, while busy at some
thing, Danny would not obey, so
I told him, “You’re in the dog
house.” He must have discussed
this with his friend Sgt. Tom, for
it was only a couple of days later
that Danny was showing me his
dog tag, stamped “DaunyOlson,
Kodiak, Alaska, September,
1945 ” To climax it all, he had
this to ask: “Can I go to my dog
house now?” Whatever I answer
ed apparently did not suit him,
for he took my hand and led
me to the sun porch and showed
me a real dog house, and that’s
where I have been ever since
with him, for I’m sure I don’t
measure up to what he expects
To keep Danny’s respect, admir
ation, love and devotion, you
must rate some fine qualities.
You have to hold ground, take a
stand, ring true, and be sincere.
He sees through sham and hypo
critical fronts.
There are other Dannys in
Kodiak. They are going to be
leaders of Kodiak and Alaska
when they grow up. They are
the real Kodtakans because they
were born here. There is one big
service that can be rendered to
them We should all support any
agency, government, civic, or
social that is dedicated to the
welfare of Kodiak’s children.
Among these, I am particular
ly familiar with the splendid
work being done by the Griffin
Memorial hospital. The care
patients receive there is on a par,
if it doesn’t excel, the best of
the hospitals outside Ko
diak can well be proud of its
Danny Olsons, and of the hospi
tal.
