WISH WE COULD ANSWER THAT QUESTION, MARY

Last week this venerable family eurnal in reporting that Leonard Churchill was skippering the Kath- me S., Juneau boat owned by James Sharp, brother-in-law of Mrs. Mary Churchill, got it's lines little bawled up.
 It is MT. Sharp who is convalesc- ing at Mt. Edgecumbe hospital fol- lowing a heart attack and NOT Mrs. Churchill, who is Leonard's mother. Mrs. Churchill is here in Wrangell and hale and hearty as usual. She asked good question, too. Wanted to know just how one makes a mistake like that. Wish we could figure out an answer.
 Meanwhile, hope MT. Sharp is recovering nicely and that Mrs. Churchill continues to enjoy her present excellent health and won derful sense of humor.
