nine lo 17 and then 15 Cadets and Rangers SONG Three musketeers make my workdays more bearable Staff Writer So whats it like working with three young men Let me tell you Ever since I was hired by a former editor Ive had to be on my toes At least twice Ive in popped out of the darkroom to find them out side its door hunched over and tiptoeing stealthily with a tape recorder They claimed they were setting it up for an interview but I not that dumb I can read a guilty look when I see one They were really trying to tape my humming in the darkroom Tsktsk Theres a lot about these guys you never know unless you worked with them for as long as I have Did you know for example that sports editor Gerry Timbers is actually a and caring in dividual He told me so the first week I met him Maybe hes already told you too Sometimes Im tem to almost agree with lm I guess after youve heard it as often as I have you start to believe it Isnt that what they call brain washing in Communist countries And Chris yes Chris Aagaard our council beat reporter Did you know hes not only a handyman with a welding torch and screwdriver but also handy with a skinny silver sewing needle Yes Chris the man of many hats actually sews on his own fallen buttons and hems pant legs lm pressed So was I Id always thought he was trying to show off how slim his ankles were or his new white socks Walking around our comer of The Herald office I have to be careful everytime Im closer than Staff Comment two feet to Chris No he isnt a lecher Its Just that hes always tripping over the broccoli colored office rug and Im afraid hell sprawl into me on one of his snort jogs He doesnt do the long jogs any more now that he s wearing suits and ties to the office and looking paternal Chris managed to trip me once in two and a half years and the rug even there Wed all gone for a noon hour skate at the Gordon Alcott Arena and he deftly managed to fall ms and legs askew front of me Naturally he gave me no time to aim my wob biy skates in another direc tion Take my warning and keep a good body length from Chris unless you re good at martial arts and can flip him upright as he heading in your direction As for Dave well how much can I reveal about this Steve look alike Not much con he s editor and this copy is going right under his Roman nose Dave s the guy who always sending me out for interviews with the hard of hearing Im learning how to yell but unfortunately none of my family preciates my new talent Oh well He the fanatic who makes his wife Wok suppers whenever he gets home before she does which are rare occasions considering his workaholic drive Actually Dave is the trend setter in our newsroom The first of the boys to get hitched he gave Chris the example and courage to do likewise the next year Now that Dave a homeowner I keep hoping to catch Chris thumbing through the real estate sec lion No luck so far Be cautious when Dave offers you a Id heard it said Japanese cars are lightweight but Id never realized now true it was un til I saw Dave picking out two of rust and bending open his passenger door for me I never knew metal bent so easily By summer the passenger side of his yellow Toyota should be fully air conditioned Im willing to bet Of course it doesnt hurt to have three kind hearted guys around with muscles youd never guess they had in their year old frames especially when your fourdoor Pansienne is spinning its wheels at the bottom oflhe Herald parking lot and theres a foul mouthed man yelling at you to move your car out of his path I cant complain then It s not just my vehicle thats had the benefit of their service all the Star fleet Command as Chris it and visitors besides been pushed off The Herald lot sometimes before theyd completed their business So as long as I agree with Gerry that hes a sen sitive and caring in dividual watch out whenever Chris looks pi one to trip and don accept rides with Dave we get along fine
