Murray Worobey decided to go get water at Meziadin Lake,
one evening, with the Thiokol Snow machine.
He did the same as me, and took the machine for a dip in a lake. 

The whole front of the machine was submerged after it broke thru the ice.   After a walk to a nearby logging camp, they found a Cat Skinner, who happened to be just a wee bit drunk,  who happened to have a huge International Cat, running outside.  He said "No problem" and volunteered to come down,  and pull the machine out.   Stories abound how the snow was flying off the road,  as this guy put the blade down and wound the machine up,  as fast as it would go to the lake. 3-4 feet of snow on the road  (gravel at the time) was gone! Fastest snow plowing job ever.   Guiness book entry for sure! 
In a "normal" crew, that would be the end of the story, but not in the Terrace Radio Crew.....
Don Parr asked the 2nd line at that time, for money to buy this gentleman a case of whiskey, to thank him for his time and energy to save our snow machine.   They took this case of booze back up to Meziadin the next week, and wouldn't you know it, the fellow moved his cat out of the area, and not knowing his name, the case of booze was now stranded.
What to do????
You guessed it, it became the newest addition to our Christmas Party Fund!
Heck we couldn't return it, or throw it away!!!
