Four men who truly deserve the honorary title Red Noses that is on their Antarctii crossing certificates. Don ' t blame me. he asked for Marine Whitewalls! ONE STEP BEYOND A ship underway is a miniature city. The Coast Guard, unlike the Navy, does not have specific rates to cover those odd but extremely important jobs in the post office, ship ' s store, barbers, etc. Instead some of the ship ' s company volunteer their time and service to the smooth running and high morale of Glacier. These men and women go one step beyond duty to make Glacier a more comfortable and hospi- table ship to live on. Thanks for a job well done. BARBERS MKC Hudson, EM3 Gonzales and SS3 Clerico worked as ship ' s barbers between watches and work. They were perhaps most appreciated the day before we pulled into a port where for many truly became life and liberty savers.
