FRIDAY, JANUARY8, 1965 YosemiteNational Park, California FROM THE LODGE A SENTINELreporler, shortly after the flood, found Lodge manager Wayne Whiteman still glassy-eyed but finally dry. In his office, a discussion about the Yosernite Lodge and the flood revea- led that at about midnight, December 22, Whiternan decided that things would get worse before they got better and gave orders to start mov- ing furniture - and guests. The first floor furniture in Pine Cottage madeits fourth trip into the attic; earlier trips having been in 1950, 1955, and 1963.

THANKS, AND GOODWISHES If this issue of The Sentinel had appearedat time height of our recent unpleasantness, it might have seem- ed ironic to wish our fellow- employ- ees o Happy New Year while our spirits were thus mutually dampened. That we now are fortunately back in full operation so speedily is due to the magnificent performance of our whole organization under the most trying conditions. It would require pages to relate all the individual action which contributed to time safety to our guests, the preservation of our property and the amazingly rapid re- turn to normal activity.
