In our interviews we have talked with people of many and various interests and occupations. Each one, in his or her own way, has been interesting for particular req sons; the townspeople, because their lives and livelihoods, their memories of events long past in the rich and fascinating history of Kodiak, are outside the common experience and knowledge of we who are lately come to the island; or because they are prominent in the towns activities. The expert ences of service people, with their widely diversified backgrounds and professions, trigger the imag- ination and stimulate manifold in-

IC1SoIo' OOllACtAAiiCo LhCJ ASRA NoShe commands with which even other service people are nonconversant. AS an important part of the life of the community of Kodiak, and i'm .portant in the far reaching net of continental security, these com mandS deserve our attention and appreciation.
 One of the more quietly prom inent commands aboard the Naval Station is the patrol squadronS whose tours are so rotated that rarely do townspeople become ac- quainted with it's personnel as they do with members of the other base activities. The squadron currently in residence is VP-17, called also, Patron IT. We made an appoint ment with its busy skipper, CDR Clyde B. Mckinney, and found him in his office on the second deck where one view overlooks the cavernous hangar interior and the other looks out on Woman's Bay.
 We asked him first about the designations, Patron and VP-l7. CDR Mckinney told us that Patron is short for Patrol Squadron, that V means heavier than air. and P stands for Patrol. VP-17 flies the Navy Neptune, a dependable plane with auxiliary jets.
 The Commander showed us an issue of Navy Times, dated Sep

our own smokehouse where the men smoke salmon, and some men do their own canning. We also have one fellow who is a disk jockey during his off-duty time; YN-3 Nick Steele has a show on AFRTS radio, called Turntable Review"
 CDR Mckinney is here on his third tour and, probably because of this rather unusual circum- stance, is known in some circles as Mukluk Mac. He is a quiet, genial and pleasant gentleman who is known also to favor BuSkin on the Rocks (to those who may not have heard of the BuSkin Lake Reservoir, this is just plain ice water) in preference to stronger drink.
 We are reluctant to probe be- yond the willingness of people to talk about themselves. The Com mander, modest and self-effacng, told us these few things about himself, prefacing his remarks with, q really don't know what to tell you; I've lived a very ordi- nary, unglamorous life.
 ''I was born in Jacksonville, Hi nois, grew up there and attended Bradley University in Peoria, join ed the Navy in 1922, and went right into flight training. I gradu- ated from flight training in 1943 at Corpus Christi, Texas. My war duty was with a patrol squadron in the South Atlantic We'll, my other duty tours have included various squadrons and two tours of staff duty. I graduated from Armed Forces Staff College in 1857, but you don't want to list all the tours; that kind of thing really doesn't interest people. We were stationed in the Hawaiian Islands in VP-22, but although I've been to Japan, Europe and Bermuda, we've never been stationed in those places.
 My wife is an RN and an ex- airlines hostess and we have two boys, eleven and seven. No, the boys don't seem to be very excited about flying; it probably doesn't hold much attraction for them be- cause they see it every day.
 'I'm afraid I haven't done much; there is not much I do in the way of hobbies except a little bowling and fishing, nothing unusual. love to fly and I like the Navy life, the moving around, and friends you meet at various places" i"
 CDR Mckinney concluded, "Fish- ing, hunting, and King Crab, and the friendliness of the local people are a few of the things which help to make life away from home for squadron personnel more enjoy able and pleasant" ."

 We have approximately 300 officers and men; none of our fam flies is here. A few wives do come up sometimes but we don't have any with US this time. know my whole family would like to be here but school and all the extra-cur- ricular activities down there pre- vent this.''
 Down there is Whidbey Island, Washington, the home base of VP-17, where the families wait out the squadron's return.
 CDR Mckinney went on. "Of course. we would all be happier here if we had our families with us, but in the meantime, the men participate, as time permits, in fishing, bowling, basketball, volley ball, and the various athletic pro grams on the base. We haven't been up here long enough to get into some of the competing leagues, but little later on basketball will be big thing Our men won a golf match at Whidbey; of course they can't play the game here.
