Recon rattles keawe in Kauai

A

firsthand

account of

Infiltration

on the Garden Isle

By GySgt. Dale Dye

There are those among us who shun the social world, preferring to carry on an existence in seclusion. Take, for instance, Howard Hughes. Or take, for instance, a Marine reconnaissance team on a mission.

All four of the Recon Marines in team Hoot Owl One Bravo probably have perfectly acceptable social lives. But that's when they're on liberty; not when they're combing the bush for information like they were for three days two weeks ago on the island of Kauai.

Observers are dead weight on most Recon missions, so I was determined to do my share. Fortunately for all concerned, my share turned out to be not much more than walking, watching and scribbling furiously in my notebook.

These are some of my observations:

Scenario. Three Recon teams will scout what is supposed to be an enemy communications complex. There are small enemy units in the area. We want to know about communications facilities, helicopter LZs, roads which don't appear on our map, all man made structures in the area and any security elements found roaming around. (We are to find them. They are not to find us.)

War Point. I think I know now why the American Indians liked it so much, Beyond a few basic rules that must be followed, you can take facial camouflage and make yourself look like any bush or tree youJike.

by Si. M.P. libilomo

BLENDING IN WITH NATURE - Lance Corporal Charles Bissell stakes out in the dense brush. His camouflage in perfect

harmony with his surroundings shields him from the enemy.

As with painting styles, Recon facial camouflage artists can be divided into distinct methodology: Cubists, Neo-modern and Surrealist. The Cubist sections his face. Left eye and lower right side painted light green; right eye and left side in loam paint.

The Neo-modern practitioner uses an overall wash of light green. Loam is then applied in streaks and swirls. The result resembles the contents of a can of Campbell's pea soup. Hence, the title Neo-modern. Andy Warhol would be proud.

The Surrealist school (of which this reporter is an ardent if not skilled member) demands a completely haphazard and sometimes painful smearing of both colors over all exposed skin. Only the style of application is different. The result is the same. Coming off the chopper we look like the parade of vegetables in a Holsum Bread TV commercial.

Off the choppers and full-tilt Into the mission at a dead run. But I'm lost. Supposed to find Sergeant Julio Royal's team, but they're long gone. Nothing in sight but a huge stand of small trees, bushes and scrub brush. How in the hell can they just disappear like that?

I decide to listen for sounds and try to locate someone. Finally I hear a slight slithering sound to my right. There's the uninistakable "thwack" of a small branch rebounding off the Buck Rogers space-age plastic stock of an M-16. I move off to seek the source and human companionship.

Suddenly I'm staring at either a large Gila monster with warts or a Recon Marine. "Whoa team is this?" I unik,trying not to let teeth shine through the camouflage.

"Hoot Owl One Bravo," he says, staring at me like I just crawled out from under a rock. I had met Corporal Robert Blasen.

The next 100 meters are like walking through a huge bowl of Rice Krispies. Everything snaps, crackles and pops despite my efforts to stay low and walk silently. We weave in and out through' incredibly tangled brush which snatches at our gear and requires a sort of hip -swinging hula to free ourselves without sounding like a herd of stampeding elephants.

Suddenly radio operator Corporal Steve Walker signals for a halt (or else he's giving me some sort of clenched fist power salute). Team leader Corporal Robert Dixon has found something stuck into the deck. It appears to be a half-gallon milk carton with the Jolly Green Giant's ball point pen sticking out of one end.

Blasen and Dixon examine it in silence and proclaim that it's a wind velocity indicator dropped by a weather

plane. On request they fork it over so 1 can have a look, "UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COVMERCE,

PlOAANA11110NAL WEATHER SERVICE-RADIOSONDE Return Vail Guatinteed."

Hmm. Thought they only did that with motel keys,

I shouldn't have been so curious. Now I'm carrying the damn thing. You think dry branches sound loud

whacking off an M-16, you ought to hear them echo oft this hummer!

I wonder it there will ever he as

Many funny stories or traditions surrounding military people who smoke

dope as there are around those who imbibe a lot of booty.

Probably not since the former remains Illegal while the latter has been

an accepted, even encouraged pastime for

People in uniform since the Roman

Legions captured their first grape orchard and set to work brewing up a little bust-head to ward off the Alpine chill,

I wish I knew why getting drunk seems funny to most Marines while getting zonked out of your gourd on another sort of ingested chemical is a

stone-cold no-no. Many scientists say (at least in the case of marijuana) that both are somewhat equally harmful with booty having a possible edge in overall physical debilitation,

THE LEGALITY It all breaks down to the

agreements society has set, Namely that pot is illegal and booze is not, So, these

-are the rules we live by and most of us are

self-disciplined enough to handle it, (Of' course, the rules can he changed if and

when scientific evidence influences voters one way or the other.) But the fact that hoo/e is legal hardly Oyes ordinary people license to crawl into a bottle and slay there, Marines especially should have the sense to moderate their drinking habits since so much is required of them physically. At least one doctor I know -

tells me that next to outright poison, a

steady diet of booze is the most physically debilitating thing a man can put into his body,

Most of us who drink realize all this' and watch our drinking habits so they don't interfere with our professions. There are, of course, those of us who don't and a recent article from the St, Louis Post-Dispatch which crossed my desk convinces me they may come by their bad habits honestly,

CHATHAM ARTILLERY PUNCH

The article gives a recipe for "Chatham Artillery Punch" which apparently pieeyed Revolutionary soldiers, The ingredients sound like they'd pack more punch than Charge Eight HE from a modern 175,

"Take three gallons of catawba wine," advises the recipe, "one gallon of rum, one gallon of brandy, one gallon of rye whiskey, five pounds of brown sugar, two quarts of cherries and the juice of three dozen lemons," This mixture was then "smoothed" with one gallon of gin

By GySgt, Dale A, Dye

and three gallons of champagne which were added just before serving,

In fact, I think I'd rather put a 175

round 'down my throat than a slug of that potion, Hut there are those among us

who'd drink a quart or two and chalk it up to a good time, You'd have to show me you could pass a PUT any time in the next two weeks after a bender on that stuff

There are probably a number of well-founded reasons why sailors and

Marines aboard U.S. menof-war are not allowed to drink booze. Those well-founded reasons have never stopped some sailors and Marines from managing to smuggle some Old Blast Furnace aboard, however, I hope I'm never aboard

a transport that has to send a bunch of giggling drunks to battle stations, but again, the article says seafaring men might come by it all honestly,

ANOTHER TALE

The PostDispatch says the story Ifs fanciful, but here it is anyway. During an 1812 cruise, the tISS Constitution stood out from Boston Harbor carrying 475 officers and men, Old bromides carried 74,000 pounds of shot, 11,500 pounds of powder, 411,600 gallons of fresh water arid 79,000 gallons of rum,

The_ warship made Jamacia six weeks later where she took aboard 68,300 gallons of Jamacian rum. Three, weeks later she reprovisioned in the Azores where she shipped 64,300 gallons of Portuguese wine, Constitution then proceeded to tear hell out of British shipping and her Marines made a raid on English soil at the Firth of Clyde where the landing party took possession of a

distillery among other more military objectives,

Four' thousand gallons of scotch whiskey ended up in the holds of Old Ironsides .before site sailed again for home, The story doesn't recount how much 'ended up in the holds of the individual sailors and Marines,

AN HONEST ASSESSMENT So maybe we come by our wetting

downs, prop blasts, shipping over and sayonara parties honestly, but I think its time for an honest assessment of mandatory drinking as part of the spirit of the occasion. Only masochists subject themselves to pain. Only drunks and fools subject themselves to too much booze, If you're one or the other, get help from local experts such as unit drug exemption officers or 'counselors, at the Crisis Prevention Center,

A word of thanks Thanks to all,

I would like to thank everyone here at Kaneohe for your wonderful

friendship and help during my time of bereavement since my husband's death.

As I leave the Islands for Spokane, Wash., I know that I leave many friends behind that really cared, Again, thanks for everything.

New main gate gets face lift The new Air Station Main Gate, site of a former refuse disposal area, will soon be a

showcase lending visitors a favorable first impression of K-Bay once the II.3 Highway is opened,

Members of Public Works are presently planting a total of 69 trees and 7,000 plants and cuttings as ground cover on the area, incorporating a color scheme of scarlet and gold, All of the trees and plants are donations from Outdoor Circle Groups and the State of Hawaii,

Central, Tani-Kallua and Kaneohe Circle Groups donated a total of 43 trees while the State Transportation Department donated 26 trees and all cuttings and plants to be used as ground cover, The gold color scheme will be represented by Gold Shower Trees, Trailing G4411111 (ground cover) and Gold trees, while Royal Poinciana trees, African Tulip trees, Christmas Berry trees, Hibiscus and Verbena flowers will make up the scarlet section,

The landscape beautification project, site of a dump between 1940 and 1972, is probably one of the hardest places to establish a flourishing ground co Jr for several reasons. The soil used to cover the refuse disposal was mostly poor grade clay they would not absorb water but only cause excess runoff, The depth of the soil was also insufficient to adequately support growth, according to Thomas Cajski, Station Environmental Specialist. But, he pointed out, help is on the way,

Approximately 200 truckloads of good grade alluvial topsoil have been acquired and will be spired over the entire planting site, about 750,000 square feet, This will provide much needed plant nutrients and enable the cover to take root. Once rooted, the vegetation can thrive with proper care and regular maintenance,

Irrigation in the area will be unique in that it will utilize waste effluent from the Station's wastewater treatment plant. Use of the waste effluent will result in a double savings to the Mr Station, Not as much fresh water will need to be bought from the city and not as much will have to be paid to the city for the disposal of waste effluent, According to Cajski, the irrigation system will be paid for in seven years merely by savings to the government.

happy and thankful about on the Marine Corps Bicentennial Nov, 10. Their seventh child, Bruce De Wayne, was born and the career Marine celebrated 20 years of active service.

MSgt, Ogden is Provost Sergeant at Camp Smith, ==r=e=mmerrrrr,,,

The opening date for the new main gate is still uncertain due to the delay in construction of the H-3 Highway caused by an injunction engineered by concerned area citizens. At present, a two lane road exists from the H-3 entrance to Third Street but this will be widened to a four-lane as funds are made available next year.

Colonel John H. Miller, Air Station commander, met with members of the donor groups and the State Transportation Department Nov. 25 and expressed his appreciation for their efforts in trying to help beautify the Air Station.

SSgt, is killed in shooting accident

A 24year-old K-Bay Marine was

accidentally shot and killed on Mokapu Saddle Road Saturday while returning from a hunting trip:

Staff Sergeant Michael R. Cole, Headquarters and Maintenance Squadron-24, was driving back to the Air Station in his jeep from a hunting trip on the North Shore when the

accident occurred, He was pronounced dead on arrival at the Station Dispensary.

According to Honolulu Police

officials, his wife, Nancy, handed a

30-30 carbine from the rear of the vehicle to First Lieutenant Daniel McGraw, also from fl&MS-24, sitting next to her husband, when it discharged. Lt. McGraw then pulled the vehicle onto the side of the highway.

SSgt. Cole is survived by his wife Nancy and his parents, Robert and Nancy Cole of Spokane, Wash.

Memorial services were held in the Station Chapel Wednesday for the deceased Marine.

The birth of his seventh child, achieving 20 years active service in the Corps, and observing the 200th anniversary of the Marines gave Master

Sergeant Gerald B. Ogden and his wife, Sylvia, a lot to be happy and thankful about Nov. 10.

Bruce DeWayne was born into the

Ogden family at Tripler Army Medical Center on that memorable day. "November 10 is a special day to me,

being a career Marine, but now it's extra special," expressed the Camp Smith Provost Sergeant.

MSgt. Ogden enlisted in the Marine Corps 20 years ago that day. "I didn't know it was the Marine Corps Birthday when I joined," he stated. The West Mifflin, Pa., native says he remembers the Marines celebrating with a huge cake when he joined and thought that it may have been for the new entiriteeti and the Marine% were an alright outfit. "We were sworn in on the 10th on the courthouse steps in Pittsburgh," he recalled.

The Ogdens, bib 1955 graduates of Homestead High School in Homestead, Pa., her hometown, were pleasantly surprised at the day's wonderful event, "I'd say it was a surprise more than anything else," he said, talking about tus son's birth on that particular day.

"I had thought of a name for our son that would be Marine oriented," he added, "but, I decided not to use it."

Other children of the Ogden household include: Joye Lynne, 17; Gerald Jr., 14; John Paul, 11; Lisa, 10; Mark, 7; and Brian, 3.

...the war game continues ... (0,0 from page 1)

Finally a road. We dash across one at a time on signal from Dixon. Blasen is the last man over and he

covers our footprints by massaging the dirt with a tree

branch. It's time for Dixon to report our position, to which he adds: "Hoot Owl One - be advised echo Seven

Delta is with me." Well, at least they know where I am

now. Dixon's tone of voice is a cross between a Hail Mary

and a doctor telling a patient it's terminal.

Crashed. Flat on my hack. Finally. After three hours of tiptoeing through the briars and the brambles and the bushes where a rabbit wouldn't go. But this break is different than the 82 million others, Recon men do their crashing in silence. It's weird. No gabbing with the other guy about what a hitch this walk has been. Nothing. Just aasliand stare at the cloudless sky.

My mind begins to wander and I wonder what the other four men are thinking. I'll bet its something weird. Just now I found myself thinking about Frostbite Falls, S.D., the home (as any kid my age will tell you) 'of Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Bullwinkle the Moose.

Blasen and team point man Lance Corporal Larry Frish return silently to our harbor site. I come back from Frostbite Falls to listen to their report, They've been out mapping and sketching nun-made structures in the area. We move 25 meters away from the site and spread out for chow. It's ('- rations. Silent, swift and maybe even deadly, depending on what meal you eat. We bury the cans, cover the area and move out.

.

Short moves in the afternoon, Dixon avoiding trails and paths. Our movement through heavy brush is so slow as to be tedious, but the Recon Marines seem to have the patience of Job. Blaser, and Frisk depart at intervals while we watch for intruders, !Hawn carries binoculars to check an area and draw his sketches while Frisk stands guard with an M46.

We enter a relatively populated area. Dixon keeps signalling us farther and farther into the bush. A signal from Dixon. Is he swatting flies or does he want us all to join him?

"There's too many people around right now, If we keep thrashing around out here someone will spot us, (lie glares at me when he says thrashing.) Well wait until dark and then move out."

Move through this mess in the dark? Will I ever see my home again?

Conversation with Dixon. Dixon: "We got about a click and a half to cover,"

(Shows me map.) Me: "What's Blasen drawing pictures of out there?" Dixon: "Man-made objects that don't show on the

map." (Shows me sketch book which reminds me of a beginning mechanical drawing student's notebook.)

Me: "You put a number on the detailed sketch and a corresponding number on the map to show where that particular building is?"

Dixon: "Right. And we do it without anybody knowing we're around,"

I take this last as a warning and recheck my grease, paint.

While waiting in a harbor site we have a close brush with some local woodcutters who are out after keawe wood for their cooking fires. Everyone freezes in position. They almost step on Blasen. BUT THEY DON'T SEE US. Fantastic! They can't be any more than tO feet away from me at one point. I feel like a pointer dog holding in position for the command to flush a covey of quail.

This facial camouflage and taping all deny objects really works. We more to a new harbor site. It's anti* dark now. /Ibsen and Frisk are checking out a starlight

scope night vision device which fits on an MI6. Word is we're going kvull a little Sneaky Pete number after dark and refill our canteens from whatever civilian source we can find. I recheck my camouflage,since there is a bright moon expected tonight.

The Great Water Raid. Full moon is right! This is

the stuff songwriters dream about. It's hanging up there like a cop's spotlight in lovers' lane and lighting things up about as well,

Frisk takes the point; Moen has our empty canteens strung on a sling rope; I bring up the rear carrying Blasen's M-16, Now is the time to really move silently. We're about 50 meters from some civilians in a building, I find out later that it's a Navy Chief Petty Officers Club, (My interest in the operation is heightened immeasurably.)

Our objective is the outdoor head behind the club which has a sink from which we can fill the canteens, Frisk holds in a hedgerow while Blasen and I cross 25 meters of lighted, Uncovered ground at a low run. This is great! 1 haven't felt this exhilarated since we toilet-papered, Old Man liennesey's house on Halloween!

Blasen and I are standing in the head working like a

well-oiled machine, Ile fills and I cap the canteens and string them hack on the sling rope, My stomach is getting tighter. If those chiefs are drinking beer like I do, someone is going to have to use the head before long. Finished at last! I grab the rifle and shove open the door.

Two wide eyes arc staring at me, The mouth below them is saying, "Wha ,wha, wha?" We shoulder by and head for the hedgerow, I pause to tap the guy on the shoulder. "Wha r, he says, still in shock. "Viva la Revolucion!" I whisper, Couldn't resist that,

Alt five of us are huddled back -to back in the herbor site with ponchos spread. The radio is in the middle and we'll pass the lundsct around at two-hour intervals, If you've got ,!lf, handset, you're on watch, We are set to make radio gitelis every two hours on the even hour. No contact with platoon base, All checks are relayed through another team which is working closer.

Reveille comes with no noise. Everyone seems to sense that it's time. Packs are rolled and we spend some time reapplying camouflage. Breakfast is cold Orations. No talking. no fires. Time to go;

* *

First objective of the day, Dixon is figuring grid coordinates for a transmitter tower while Blimp moves closer with binoculars to sketch. Another drawing, another number on the map, Hope the folks back in the rear are good at number painting, Frisk is staring at the tower intently as though he's computing where he'd place the charges to blow it to pieces,

Walker, Blasen and Frisk are out sketching again. Time for another whispered conversation with Dixon,

Me: "You like Recon work?" Dixon: "Never done anything else, It's the most

rewarding thing going as far as I'm cones. It's exciting, Different methods of extraction iglertion and you're out there actually accomplishing something, Even if it's only keiping the other guys from seeing you, We do our thing well now, so I figure we'll do it well in a real situation, it's a lot of fun, y'know?"

Me: "Yeah, I know what you mein," (I do?)

* 0

Blasen, Frisk and Walker are back, All three have genuine possibilities as architects, Staten's sketches are detailed, with shadows and shading included, Word is Navy security trucks are making regular patrols in our area, Dixon haslevided to cut chances of detection by sending no more than two men close to sketch buildingit while it is still daylight, The big hassle is getting close enough to sketch a security guard shack that lies on the edge of our AO, It straddles a train road which has buildings on both sides, The approach will be tricky at best,

Chow time spin, List time I was out with the infantry, I discovered black Marines call the Oration can opener a Brown" in response to the tradition of caning it a "John Wayne," Now I learn that Memo bferines call the Implement "rancho VOW" I wonder what the Indian guys call it? A "Sitting Dull "? I think I'll start referring to it as a °Rosie O'Grady,"

We stuff Orations in our faces as Blasen and Frisk take off twee how dose they can get to the elusive guard shack,

0 0 *

WASHINGTON - When MCI) 6100,3G (Physical Fitness, etc.) hits Corps field commands, it should clear up questions on the execution of the pullup/chinup and situps, and provide information on scoring far partial physical films tests administered Marines with medical excuse's,

The changes were made to place emphasis accomplishing the exercises rather thahe techniques used,

ines executing pull-ups/iiiinups can assisted to the bar by a step or individual, If a Marine jumps on the bar, the momentum of the jump cannot be used to begin the exercise; a dead hang is necessary,

CHINUPS Both palms must face in ens

direction (at the individual's discretion), The body is raised until the chin is over the bar and then lowered to a dead hang position, The upward pull cannot be a snap movement, but kicking motions are permitted if the knees are not high.; than the waist, Hand positions can also be changed during the exercise and resting is okay if the chin is nut supported by the bar,

SIT UPS In the situp exorcise, the Marine

Marines who are medically enirled from the PFT with handicaps that do not hinder performances in one or two events, must be tooted in those events, (i,1 a Marine with a sprained wrist could be exempt from the pullups only,) In the partial PVT, Marines must achieve the minimum ,pacing score in each event participated in to pass the test. For example, if a Marine does 'Woos he must execute at least 35 to get a passing score, The point totals, however, will not be considered in the pass /fail determination or for clue identificstions.

In an attempt to inform and help KAlayites with a drinking problem, and help supervisors and officers deal with problem drinkers, Captain Stuart Brownell, USN, Director of the Navy's Alcoholism Prevention Program and

About, hirper cent of the total force, or 50,0001 people we akoluilics! What is being done about this alarming total?

Many people who drink say they do so to be serial, Dr. Punch defined a Miele, drinker merely as one who _didn't get hi trouble because of his habit and an alcoholic as one who did,

Sports commentary

The overwhelming support, by more than 570 runners, for the Nov. 10, ten kilometer (6.2 miles) Birthday Run is the subject of this week's Sports Commentary.

Navy personnel and dependents were also in he running to make this event a huge success and he largest gathering of its kind to commemorate the Bicentennial of the Marine Corps.

It was a fitting tribute to the birth of the Corps and the Hawaii Marine has received letters from two of its participants which are as follows. Dear Sir,

May l comment on the l0 kilometer run in commemoration of the Bicentennial of the Marine Corps.

I would like to begin by saying that it was a very good race with the runners showing good sportsmanship after the race. The race itself was very well planned and I enjoyed running it very much. The only complaint I have is that whoever coordinated the race should have specified distinctly that the race would count for Marines alone. It's very discouraging to come in the finish line after a long run only to Lind out that you weren't qualified.

I'm writing this letter to maybe clear up further misunderstanding.

Yours Respectfully, Roland Beiame

Dear Roland, I would like to take this opportunity to thank

you personally for your letter and to clear up the misunderstanding about who was eligible to run in our Bicentennial Marine Corps Birthday run on 10 November 1975.

It is apparent the information that 1 put out initially was not disseminated as 1 would have liked it to have been, Roland; at this time I would like to apologize for the misunderstanding.

Roland, I would like for yourself and Steve to conic to my office and I will personally give you both certificates commemorating the 200th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps. You can reach me at 257-3653. Keep on trucking.

Interservice rivalry Nobody likes to belabor a loss but the first

annual Island Interservice Football Championship deserves to be mentioned.

It is probably harder for the Third Marines' team to accept the 23-22 upset suffered at the hands of Army's 2nd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, than it was for me to believe the Warriors last minute come-from-behind touchdown, Nov. 22.

The 3d Herd captured the lead, late in the first half, as Charles Jackson drove the ball in for the Marine's first score and kicker Rob Shufford picked up the pigskin and ran it in for a two point conversion to give 3d Marines their 8-3 halftime lead.

In the second half, the Herd paid the price for

numerous penalties and as 1 was dodging flying beer

bottles and a roaring Army cannon, the Warriors

jumped to a 15-8 lead.

The Warriors then tryed an onsides kick covered

by Shutford for the Marines and on third down

quaterback Clyde Roberson broke loose for a 62 yard

touchdown run to put the Marines within one point

of there opposition. A quick pitch to Robert Jackson

on the conversion attempt put the Herd out in front 16-15.

Robert Jackson added another score with less

than four minutes remaining and 3d Marines grabbed a commanding 22-15 lead.

The Warriors quickly set up a drive and with

1:43 left in the game Fontaine tossed the ball to Wyane Harris in the end zone. On the conversion, Fontaine carried around left end for two points and the winning score.

Deckhand Allen Truesdale is shown with line in hand making ready to put the sporty game fish on ice, Nov. 28.

Gone fishing

Maid strike on U charter By Sgt. Jim Wilson

got the pleasure of going deep sea fishing last weekend and it was quite a thrill My faithful photographer and I were the guests of the Kahuna Kai, a 50-foot cement fishing rig that is leased by Special Services here.

This was not just the ordinary fishing trip where you go out to the pond with hook, line and sinker. It was a luxury Cringe over choppy waters, with beverage in hand, trolling for some of the sportiest game fish in the Pacific.

The Captain, who books passage on the Kahuna Kai,

Friday through Monday, charters his vessel out to patties of six for $125, It's well worth the trip with Dudley Worthy if you come back with a fish, and Worthy can almost guarantee that if you don't bring bananas aboard.

"Bananas," claims Worthy, "are back luck and I

throw them overboard." He's quite a character and an experienced angler i00. He and deckhand Allen Truesdale, both Marines, are superb hosts and know where to find

sporting fish. On the Nov. 2$ cruise, David Christensen, a K-Bay

management engineer, and his brotherin-law, MR

Roberts, laid claim to the first strike and Bill tackled what was a 25 pound mahimahi for almost a half hour before

lann him. Also pulling in a mahimahi was C. L. Paine, a retired

Texas school teacher and father of John Paine, assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron. On his first

deep sea fishing trip, C. L. Paine battled a 40 pound butt mahimahi for 20 minutes before the fish was brought alongside and Worthy could lay the gaff to him.

This has to be something for the retired schoolteacher to talk to his friends in White Deer, Tex.,

about; but, there will also be stories about the one that

got away and the bowlegged Marine ship captain who

won't let you bring bananas on his boat.

Last year, Worthy had the second highest count for marlin bagged off Oahu. His boat, the )(attune Kai, sails out of Sand Island and it may be chartered through the Special Services Office.
