TWICE BEFORE CURRENT HAS GONE TO THE AI.TAR ONLY TO BE .III.TED. g REFS A AND B MADE IT THREE IN A ROW, WHICH IS ENOUGH TO MAKE A .3 NERVOUS WRECK OUT OF ANY GAL. FIRST, TO RESCUE MOI.AI.A WHO HAD LOST THREE ENGINES WHILE TOWING, THEN, INTO THE JAWS OF TYPHOON 0 FAYE TO SAVE THE TERREI.I. COUNTY, AND NOW SUI.TAN. EACH TIME ON g A MOMENTS NOTICE USU AI.I.Y IN THE DARK OF NIGHT AT. FI.ANK SPEED 1 G ONLY TO BE THANKED FOR SERVICES NO LONGER NEEDED WHILE HALF 5 WAY THERE. Q E 2. CURRENT DEPARTS FOR HOME TODAY UNCERTAIN AS TO WHETHER SHE la SHOULD FEEL LIKE AN UNFUI.FII.I.ED MAIDEN OR A GOOD UNDERTAKER WHO Q TAKES PRIDE IN HIS PROFESSION CAND COULD USE THE BUSINESSD BUT CANIT 2 REALLY GET UPSET IF THE PROSPECTIVE HSTIFF RECOVERS. AT ANY RATE, E WE FEEL TO A MAN THAT WE HAVE WORKED FOR THE TOP OUTFIT AND AI.I. 'Q OUR EFFORTS WERE WELL WORTH-WHII.E. I -o sg: 'E A 3. ALOHA -5 FM 1 CTF 73 3 2 TO : USS CURRENT 5 UNCI.AS l ALWAYS AN EAGER BRIDE-TO-BE , E I. AS THE FATHER OF THE BRIDE , I WAS AI.WAYSCONFIDENT THAT, WHEN CAI..I.ED :I UPON, CURRENT WOULD BE SUlTED-UP AND ON HER WAY DOWN THE AISLE ON A Q MOMENTS NOTICE. ALTHOUGH YOU DEPARTED WESTPAC IN THE ROLE OF AN UN- , Q FUI,FII.I.ED MAIDEN, YOUR COMEI.INESS AND WII.I.ING WAYS DID NOT GO UNNOTICED. 5 PERHAPS FATE HAS DECREED THAT CURRENT MUST SAVE HERSEI.F FOR A MORE Q ELIGIBLE BRIDEGROOM THAN THE THREE PROSPECTIVE SPOUSES WHO LEFT HER Q ,STANDING AT THE AI.TAR. AT ANY RATE, AS THE NUMBER OF ELIGIBLE BACHEI.ORS E INCREASES IN WESTPAC, YOU MAY YET HAVE A CHANCE TO TIE THE KNOT DURING 2 YOUR NEXT DEPI.OYMENT. I AM CONFIDENT THAT, WHEN THE BIG DAY ARRIVES, : CURRENT WILL BE THERE EAGER AND READY TO BE FUI.FII.I.ED. 8 I - 2. SAYONARA AND A SINCERE WELL DONE. .t 1 an ,,.,, W, ,,,. ..... . M
