Sunday Best in Alaska

LDS Church Building
about 20 miles from Clam Lagoon - where the naval facility of Adak was located
note the "cars" in the parking lot!

I didn’t get to church very often[while stationed at Adak],because we worked through Sundays if our section was on duty, which was half the time. It was also difficult to get transportation to the Main Navy town where the chapel was located. Our Radio City, as it was called, was set several miles off from the main facilities of the island because of the secret nature of the mission, so we had to go by bus most of the time to get any place except the Army Air Base.

Military Church Group near Adak
I can't find Dad in this picture, but he recorded that this was the group
he went to church with.


We did have about 35 Latter-day Saints who usually attended meetings, and one Red Cross Lady, the only sister.
