McDonnell Douglas VTXTS. By any measure, the best way to build the most important part of an aircraft:

The pilot.

The McDonnell Douglas VTXTS will match flight training with the advanced aircraft Navy pilots will fly throughout the rest of the century, accomplishing 87 major training objectives.The VTXTS program takes advantage of existing resources to provide this new training capability at the lowest possible cost.

The British Aerospace Hawk trainer is completely developed and already In use by the RAF for shore training. With straightforward modifi-

cation it will be ready for sea duty. Yet, the aircraft technology the simulators and computer systems are so advanced the VTXTS will remain fully current for training pilots a generation from now.

VTXTS proven technologies are being integrated by engineering teams skilled in flight training.

McDonnell Douglas has been flying with the Navy since 1920, and our experience in Navy training and simulation stretches across two decades.

Total training—coming to the Navy in VTXTS.

Contributors' Biographies ADMIRAL JAMES L. HOLLOWAY, JR. USN (RET.) Admiral Holloway '19 was graduated in time to join USS MONAOHAN (DD-32) in the last days of World War I. Between wars he followed the classic line officer pattern of destroyers, cruisers, and battleships, mixed with duty in Washington. In World War II he was ComDesRon 10 during the North African landings and later commanded USS IOWA in strikes against Japan. Post-war, lie led the fight to preserve an independent Naval Academy and to establish the present NROTC program, served as USNA Superintendent 1947-50, as Chief of BuPers 1953-58, and as CinCNELM in 1958-60, including command of the first Lebanon landings in 1958. This story is from an earlier assignment in BuPers.

FRANK A. DRISKILL Frank Driskill, a native Texan, studied at Southwestern U., U. Texas, Texas A&M, and Columbia, holding degrees in both natural and social sciences. After teaching and coaching in high school, he taught economics at Texas A&M. As a representative of McMillan Publishing Co., he arranged with Margaret Mitchell for his firm to publish Gone With The Wind. Entering political public relations, he served as Admin. Ass't. and Press Rep. to a Congressman, a Lieutenant Governor and a Governor. He returned to teaching at U. Texas in 1965 and retired in 1976. This co-authored biography of Admiral Nimjtz will be his fifth book.

DEDE W. CASAD Dede Casad holds an MA from Texas Women's University, took additional graduate work at Southern Methodist and in Edinburgh, is a Ph.D. candidate at U. Texas, and is the author of four books. She is an administrator of public relations and public information programs for a number of clients, including the Texas State Fair and the Dallas American Bicentennial celebration in 1976. She participates in a wide range of civic activities and is Immediate Past President of Church Women United.

REAR ADMIRAL JOHN R. WADLEIGH USN (RET.) Jack Wadleigh '37 is a Marine junior whose grandfathers were both USNA graduates, became rear admirals, and had destroyers named for them. A "black shoe", his sea duty was primarily in cruisers and destroyers with command of a DD, CortRon, AD and CLG prior to donning two stars in 1965, when he became Assistant Deputy Director for Defense Communications Systems. Subsequent duties included ComCruDesFlot Four and ComTraLant prior to retirement on I July 1971. He now lives in Newport RI where he is active in civic affairs.

Seaport 76 and its construction and operation of the Continental Sloop PROVmENCE.

CAPTAIN BROWN TAYLOR USN (RET.) Brown Taylor '34 spent his first 11 years at sea, mostly in destroyers, with temporary command of SCHENK (DD-159) in the North Atlantic and command of CONYNGHAM (DD-371) in the Pacific. Then followed tours at the Naval Academy, on the staff of Second Fleet, and in OpNav. Other sea commands were DesDiv 142, USS AUCILLA (AO-56) and DesRon 13, with staff duty at the Naval War College in between.

His final assignment was Naval Attach^ Rome. Thereafter he assisted in setting up the American St. Stephens School and completed graduate studies at the University of Rome before returning to live in Newport RI.

PAUL R. SCHRATZ '39, Ph.D. Following a distinguished career in submarines and in policy planning in Washington, Paul retired as Captain USN to become Director of International Studies at the University of Missouri. Later he served on the White House-Congressional Commission on Foreign Policy, as a guest scholar at the Brookings Institution and a professor at Georgetown University. He has been a faculty member of the Naval, Air and National War Colleges, and was the first naval officer to be awarded a Mershon doctoral fellowship at Ohio State and a Wilton Park Fellowship from the British Foreign Office.

JOHN F. SLINKMAN John was the first Editor of Navy Times, serving from 1951 through 1974 and earning the Navy's Distinguished Public Service Award on retirement.

Subsequently he edited The Officer, published by the Reserve Officers Association, for several years and continues to contribute editorial and special articles to both publications. He has long been a respected member of the Washington Naval and Maritime Correspondents Circle.

THOMAS F. BATES A 1960 graduate of Notre Dame, Tom Bates became Director of Public and Sports Information at Gannon College in Erie, Pa., in 1961, and also was publicity assistant for the Ail-American Bowl Football game at Buffalo in 1962-63. In 1967 he was appointed Director of Sports Information at Lafayette College, where his publications won honors for editorial excellence and his peers rewarded him with high offices in their professional associations. He joined Navy's staff in September 1973.

JAMES J. ROSE Jay Rose '83 is our midshipman columnist on the ins and outs of Mother Bancroft and the Academy, succeeding Rich Langford. Like Rich, he is a member of the I Ith Company, a former English major who switched to Ocean Engineering and aspires to a career in submarines after graduation in 1983. Jay's interests include golf, reading, traveUng, and weekend trips to UVA basketball games — for he hails from Hampton, Virginia and would someday like to retire to the Langley AFB golfing circuit.

Shipmate, December 1982

Paul Schratz

Amphibious War — A Tradition of Neglect The Falklands crisis offered a field day for many armchair strategists who concluded that the modern missile signed the death warrant for the surface warship.

True, the British suffered relatively severe losses from missile attacks, but two factors seem significant. First, Britain had just decommissioned several warships that sharply curtailed her amphibious capability, and there is evidence that the cutbacks may have convinced Argentine leaders that they could get away with the surprise attack. Second and more trenchant, if we concede the demise of the surface ship, what possible response does a nation have to unprovoked assaults if it cannot use surface attack and amphibious forces to deter or retaliate? Neither command of the air nor projection of ground forces was possible without control of the seas.

In our mesmerization with nuclear weapons and a narrow anti-Soviet view of the world, maritime strategy frequently sinks from sight. The British Falkland episode reminds us that conventional warfare is not only very much alive but a form of combat in which navies are pecuHarly relevant. And amphibious warfare has a long and strong tradition in British strategy. The combination of strong naval power and the need to conserve limited land forces made a peripheral strategy of hit-and-run amphibious raids particularly desirable.

Roosevelt, Churchill and the Combined Chiefs argued long and hard about British preferences for peripheral actions rather than the American choice for a direct frontal assault. But memories of the gross waste of manpower in the bloody stalemate of World War I were still vivid in Britain.

Amphibious warfare throughout its 3500 year history is a story of necessity and neglect, where wartime successes, techniques and doctrines were too often forgotten, only to be reinvented for the next year. A U.S. Navy historian claims that amphibious warfare got its start when a blonde eloped with a "no 'count" salesman. The salesman was Paris, sent out to help local farmers by pushing the sale of surplus grain to an adjoining, unfriendly state. Instead of coming back with a contract, he returned Shipmate, December 1982

with the king's wj,fe. That is why, in the naval buildup for the ensuing war, Helen of Troy became known as the face that launched a thousand ships.

When the Greeks hit the Troy beaches, Achilles and Ajax commanded landing craft; Agamemnon was C O . of troops and Ulysses the G-3 (Supply). Hector led the defense of Troy, and ten years later was still in command of the beachhead when G-3 produced a wooden horse, in which was secreted a Greek recco team.

The Trojans captured the horse, and, as everybody knows, the recco unit sneaked out at night, opened the gates for the invaders and, on D-day plus ten years, the objective was reached. That was one of the few cases where tactics and techniques of an amphibious war were not lost sight of soon after the initial landings.

During the thirteenth century, Asia and parts of Eastern Europe fell before the swift cavalry of Mongol hordes. Everywhere victorious on land, they were unable to project themselves beyond the Eurasian land mass. Kublai Khan's attempted amphibian invasion of Japan failed because he lacked an understanding of sea power — and weather.

To the ancients, amphibious war today would offer few surprises. Landing craft with runways for horses were used by Darius against the Greeks at Thermopylae in 490 B.C. From the third century B.C. missiles were available to navies in the Mediterranean when catapults and balUstae began to appear, probably at the instigation of the Macedonians. Later Roman versions of ballistae were capable of firing projectiles over greater distances than achieved by naval guns until almost the dawn of the twentieth century.

Other specially designed vessels for landing operatons have an equally long history. In the sixteenth century wars in the Med, large fleets of galleys engaged in amphibious wars. Essentially amphib tactics were used at Prevesa in 1538.

Special landing boats at Malta in 1552 and at Terceira in the Azores in 1583 had bow guns specifically designed to allow bringing them to bear right up to the shore Hne. At Malta in 1565 amphibious assaults were made from small boats and swimmers were used to clear away underwater obstacles. Defensive swimmers protected the obstructions.

When the galley was succeeded by the sailing ship, the far greater range under sail made embarked troops on long sea voyages a waste of manpower and a serious logistic problem. Amphibious warfare fell into another period of decline, not to be re-discovered until the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), a truly world war much neglected by scholars and strategists.

The war brought the bold and ardent William Pitt to power in Britain as Prime Minister. A staunch maritime advocate and the epitome of the artful strategist, Pitt never used the fleet without close ties with the army toward a diplomatic objective, and conversely, the army and diplomacy were worked either to strengthen the naval position or relieve the fleet of some irksome preoccupation.

Julian Corbett wrote, "For Pitt, Army and Navy were the blade and hilt of one weapon, and from the moment the weapon was in his grip he began to demonstrate the force and reach of his method." This was the "Pitt system."

He developed an imaginative extension of seapower to relieve the pressure of the French army on Frederick the Great in Central Europe through "construct forces", or as known today, amphibious warfare.

In September 1757 a British battle fleet supported 9000 troops in an assault against the naval base and shipbuilding center of Rochefort. Poor planning and lack of aggressiveness contributed to a shambles as a combined operation. The expedition lost tactical surprise and the landings were aborted. At St. Malo, a privateer center, 13,000 troops were landed, destroying 100 privateers during eight days ashore and alarming the countryside. A third expedition against the French coast was made at Cherbourg using special landing craft that might have served as prototypes for World War II. The raids on the French coast had little tactical significance but enormous strategic impact. The objective, to draw French troops from Frederick's hard pressed central front, was achieved.

Crack French regiments were marched westward instead of eastward. The destruction of French shipping caused the breakdown of the North American relief system for French forces in Canada. An enormous army of 300,000 for campaigns continued on page 6

The Mail Boat Where Was I On Pearl Harbor Day? Shipmate: I was sailing down the West Coast of Formosa at night bound for Manila, after two or three days of storm buffeting in whatever direction the ship (USS MINDANAO) rode best, when at 0400 I was handed a message saying, "Japan has commenced hostilities. Govern yourself accordingly." So there I was, the deepest into enemy waters of any U.S. surface ship (except WAKE, tied up to a dock in Shanghai), in a ship painted white with a tremendous U.S. flag painted on a large awning and illuminated at night by two searchlights. My first words were, "Good God, DARKEN SHIP." Alan McCracken '22 Shipmate: As machine gun battery officer of USS COLORADO, I was manning my own gun on 7 December — in a duck blind with Mr. Nalley (of Northwest fame for mayonnaise, pickles, and such).

While this training on ducks was later put to good use against kamikazes as AA Officer in USS BOISE, it was only a brief respite from almost continuous battle station readiness aboard COLORADO — in the Bremerton Navy Yard. Funny it wasn't, exhausting it was. With 4-on, 4-off, frequent GQ, regular duties and rapid expansion of personnel and firepower, virtually raw recruits in five months aged five years. Not enough can be said for these patriotic, uncomplaining young men who had no peaceful place to sleep. With Navy Yard workmen tramping through at all hours. Yard noises and the P.A. system, these youngsters, mostly just or not out of high school, had to put up hammocks, then take them down for the midwatch so those coming off watch could find space, and rotate again after their watch for about an hour of sleep.

With expectations of a Jap attack and readiness uppermost in importance, we of the unprotected batteries were more than wet and weary. Pushing to get results fast in the new gun installations and from a division growth from 45 to 175 men, while still regular watches, my own eyes turned blood red and stayed that way for weeks (Lucky me, excused from censoring mail).

The new 1.1s had to be test fired and were, after a released balloon had indicated air currents. Starboard guns had to be fired over the superstructure, with a

gunnery-officer-fixed elevation of 87°, so the shells would fall in open water off the port quarter. They did fall in the area just astern, but one wounded a yard workman on board the PROMETHEUS, which was moored off COLORADO'S stern for torpedo protection. But, in that open water was a fisherman in a rowboat.

When those sensitive nose fuses began exploding around him, he had that boat planing with his oars, stirring up a wake and with plenty of power to pull water skis.

And On V-J Day? Shipmate: On the day the war with Japan ended, I was at sea in USS PIERCE

(APA-50) as Convoy Commodore and OTC taking an amphibious group with replacement Marines from Ulithi to Okinawa. The previous afternoon we had received a general message from Admiral Nimitz that the war would end the next day and that he would send an OP dispatch the instant of its termination.

But he added the warning, "It may be that some Japanese submarine may have missed getting the word, or that some skipper may have turned a 'Nelson ear' to it. So, even after you get my dispatch, should you detect an attacking submarine, take the necessary action."

After reading that message I had sent for the Chaplain and his prayer book. I told him the news, and we selected an appropriate prayer of thanksgiving in which were the words, "Oh, God, what shall we do to make ourselves worthy of the great favor thou hast bestowed upon they servants." Then I told the Padre to keep the news to himself until the final word came the next day.

The message came, and I sent for the Chaplain. Announcing the happy news over the P.A. system, I said that the Chaplain would lead us in a prayer of thanksgiving. As he was reading the prayer, a call came over the TBS from the Escort Commander, "I have unmistakeable sounds of a sub on an attack course. What shall I do?" His question coincided with the Chaplain's "What shall we do?" from the prayer.

Forgetting that I was standing next to the Chaplain, I grabbed the TBS mike and, in the stentorian tones of command, ordered, "Sink the son-of-a-bitch," completely drowning out the Padre's prayer.

So endeth the story, except that my order elicited a rousing cheer from my crew and the embarked Marines.

C.C. Ray '25 That Naval Academy Family Shipmate: Although I could not perceive it at first, I've often heard of the Naval Academy as being a family. Most of the time, in the Marine Corps at least, Naval Acads never let it be known that they had been graduated from such an institution. Of course, I must confess that "CANOE U " on my license plate does hint that fact.

Upon my arrival at Parris Island SC, I found the Alumni Association to be more than just a Shipmate or a car decal. In the middle of a P.F.T., a classmate of mine jogged by and yelled that an alumni luncheon was being given at the O Club the next day.

At noon the next day, a little apprehensive about this sort of function, I filtered into a group of about fifteen people ranging from the Class of '31 to the Class of '81. Of course, the conversation dirfted around to very entertaining "When I was a plebe . . . " stories. After a couple of hours, I learned that even with a generation gap of fifty years, we all shared one common experience. Fifty years didn't seem that different from sbc.

Thanks, alumni, for a warm welcome to a new duty station.

Elizabeth Durham '80 Nuclear Deterrent or Nuclear Target Shipmate: Another proposal to base nuclear missiles in the United States, "Dense Pack," is now under review in the Administration and Congress.

Whether America can "win" or "lose" a nuclear exchange of land-based missiles, dense pack cannot provide for the common defense as the Preamble to the Constitution mandates. Instead, U.S.based nuclear weapons targeted on a potential opponent guarantee destruction of America in the first nuclear exchange.

In the summer of 1941, President Roosevelt deployed the U.S. fleet to the Hawaiian Islands to "deter" the Japanese. We know now that the Japanese were not deterred. Instead, forward deployment exposed American naval and bomber bases in Hawaii and the Philippines to surprise, and actually motivated Shipmate, December 1982

the Japanese to plan and execute the attack. Naval ships operating in Hawaiian waters at the time were not attacked, because of the virtual impossibility of preplanning surprise on ships cruising at sea.

Has anyone in the Administration reviewed recently the shock and paralysis that gripped the American high commands in the wake of the Japanese surprise attacks on Hawaii and the Philippines in 1941, then the North Korean invasions of South Korea in 1950, followed a few months later by the Chinese invasion of North Korea? Having presumably learned from those surprises, the Pentagon nevertheless was caught napping again in the North Korean capture of USS PUEBLO, the Viet Nam TET offensive and capture of the U.S. merchant ship MAYAGLTEZ by Cambodians.

Deployment of nuclear weapons in a way that exposes the United States to surprise attack simply hands to the opponent the freedom of action we should retain for ourselves.

A fundamental purpose of combat readiness is to avoid surprise. Military commanders must above all else deploy their forces in a manner that minimizes the danger of being caught by surprise.

Even "instant retaliation" and "fire under attack" are too late to preserve America from the devastation that would result from Soviet surprise attack on U.S.-based ICBMs. George H. MiUer '33 Captain Dusty Shipmate: The readers of the anonymous "Captain Dusty" series in Shipmate last year would be interested to learn the sad news of the death of this great leader and shipmate, Capt. Robert E. "Dusty" Dornin USN (Ret.) '35, in Leucadia CA on 31 August. Ave atque vale.

Paul Schratz '39 Looking Back at Messina Shipmate: Satchel Paige advised, "Don't look back. Something may be gaining on you." It appears, however, that I should have looked back at least once during the 1952 transit of the Straits of Messina which I described in "Brush Up On Your Homer" in the June Shipmate, for I would have then found that it was USS TARAWA ( C V A - 4 0 ) , not MIDWAY

(CVA-41), at the end of the column.

Beats me how a member of '40 could have overlooked the coincidence of carrier number 40. Anyhow, MIDWAY was in fact en route Augusta separately and did not pass through the Straits that night.

My regrets for the error to C.H. Duerfeldt, then skipper of TARAWA and certainly champion carrier backer-downer of that era, who pointed out the error in identification to me.

Ray Hundevadt '40 Shipmate, December 1982

To Fight Defamation Shipmate: Military officers who were assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Santiago, Chile, in September 1973, know that the book Missing and the movie Missing defame us as well as the diplomatic personnel assigned there, and besmirch the reputation of the military and foreign services. We hope that all military personnel who have seen or learned of the content of the book and the film, and have been incensed by the propaganda attack they contain, will contribute to a fund to defray the legal expenses to take on the major corporate defendants as well as the individuals who are responsible for this defamation undertaken for profit.

Please send your contribution to: Plaintiffs Anti-Defamation Fund Re Missing Capt. Ray E. Davis USN (Ret.) C/O Judd L. Kessler 3716 Thornapple St., Chevy Chase MD 20815 These funds will be added to those now being collected by Foreign Service officials.

A Reminiscence of 1880 Shipmate: What a remarkable Navy background is that of Mary Taylor Alger Smith. Such illustrious connections! May I comment further?

I "knew" her father, Philip Alger, from the time I was a small boy. My own father, George Lincoln Dillman, was also Class of 1880 and his reminiscences often included Philip Alger, his most admired and outstanding classmate, who graduated No. 1 and excelled as an athlete as well as in academics. My father's profession, on leaving the service because of color blindness, was civil engineering, in which he excelled largely because of his proficiency in mathematics.

More influence of the to-be Professor of Mathematics? His daughter had to be outstanding.

Incidentally, my grandfather, John Singer Wallace, Harvard '52, was Chaplain at the Naval Academy 1879-82 and my father married his daughter in 1886.

Wallace Dillman '20 The following is extracted from a recent letter from Mary T.A. Smith, whose 90th birthday we reported in the September issue, commenting on the October Shipmate:

I was much interested in "Sea Breezes" re the War College. I remember Cousin Willie (the late VAdm. William L. Rodgers '78, President of the Naval War College 1911-13 as a captain, succeeding his cousin, RAdm. Raymond Rodgers '67, and a lifelong supporter of the College) telling me how hard Luce had to work to get more naval officers to accept the idea, particularly Mahan. They all said they knew as much as the rest and it took very long, hard talks to persuade them — and even then they were most reluctant.

"Juggy" (Nelson) is a familiar name to me. Mrs. Nelson gave Ma the parrot that Louisa (sister Miss Louisa Alger a noted math teacher) and Budgie (brother Philip L. Alger, "Mr. Induction Motor" of General Electric) loved, but who bit everyone else. Ma and Pa used to have after dinner concerts (circa 1905 in the new Sampson — now Porter — Road quarters) of the best records — Caruso, etc. — and Polly got in on it all. He used to try out all sorts of arias, and when Gilbert and SuUivan came along, he learned to sing "Little Buttercup." Later on he used to copy the awkward squad drill orders, the drill being conducted between our quarters and the Armory (where Ward Hall now stands). It confused everyone, and greatly annoyed Ernie King, Tommy Hart, and the other j.g.s. conducting the drills. The Supe sent for Pa to chastise his boys and from then on Polly had to stay in the house.

The story was that Mrs. Nelson gave him to Ma because she was afraid that he would be taught some fearful language, but I don't think he learned any. At least, I never heard any.

Truman and MacArthur Shipmate: "The Morrill-MacArthur Story" in the Jan-Feb 1982 issue prompts me to write this letter, in which nothing is intended to cast doubts on the quoted statements by Admiral Morrill.

For more than five years I have been pursuing a half vast (sic) research project aimed at trying to untangle the myriad of facts from fiction about the TrumanMacArthur confrontation over tactics in the Korean War. My objective is to write an unbiased account of the circumstances associated with the events leading to MacArthur's dismissal, with particular emphasis on the personalities of the two men.

Admiral Morrill's recollections of the dispatches between MacArthur and the JCS about bombing the Yalu bridges seem to be irrefutable. But there are discrepancies in the accounts of this incident as written by the two major participants. In their individual memoirs and in other pubhcations of validity, Truman continued on page 7

Sea Breezes

(continued)

overseas could not be deployed and necessity forced the use of volunteers raised in the colonies.

The British then shifted their strategy to the colonies, now cut off from reinforcement from France. The French line of fortifications from Quebec and Montreal through Detroit and down the Ohio River valley to New Orleans cut off westward expansion of her American colonies. Key to the French defenses was Quebec, believed impregnable by sea or land. That battle, on 13 September 1759, was to be one of the epics of military history. But, hanging from the cliffs of the Plains of Abraham on the eve of battle, we must leave you to continue our story next month.

Correction to October's "Sea Breezes" Paul Schratz's October column had an inadvertent omission in typesetting from his original text that was also missed in final proofing.

The third paragraph begins, "Readers offer interesting comments.

The USNA Superintendent defended the policy in the press . . . " What policy? Between those two sentences Paul had commented that the present USNA 80-20% split between engineering/science/math and the humanities was a policy of overstratification that restrained midshipmen and j.o.s. from developing an early interest in naval history and strategy. Since the following paragraphs were discussions of that idea, the omission left them without a proper subject.

Our apologies to Paul and to his readers. We hope they will re-read the October "Sea Breezes" with that subject in mind.

Shipmate, December 1982

says one thing and MacArthur another.

Other contradictions crop up in their writings about other incidents which finally led to Truman's decision to sack MacArthur. Was that final decision provoked by a misunderstanding of inscrutable military jargon or political double talk? Or was somebody lying?

MacArthur's proposal to bomb the Yalu River bridges was not the only thing to raise Truman's hackles. There were several others — a letter from MacArthur to a congressional leader, who subsequently released it to the press in an effort to embarrass the President, and the unusual meeting of the two men at Wake Island, about which both tell a different story.

Ed Dissett '34 "Tip" Merrill '12 Shipmate: I remember Aaron Stanton Merrill with affection, amusement and respect. As a human being, he was a joyous personality, but as a professional, he was a relentless perfectionist. He also was a beautiful wing shot.

Given a palm-fringed beach on a jungle island in the South Pacific, he would set up his current version of "Tip's Tavern" for the edification of his friends and subordinates. But make no mistake! The only passing mark for his Task Force tactical, gunnery and other drills was 4.0 — which paid off in combat.

One day, putting his four cruisers and Arleigh Burke's destroyer screen through their tactical paces, my DENVER did something that puzzled and/or displeased our Task Force boss. Instantly, the flagship's signal haUiards whipped DENVER'S call pennants to the yardarms over two other flags in a strange, unlisted signal: CHURCH PENNANT INTERROGATORY FLAG Strange, yes; definitely not to be found in the signal book, but the meaning was abundantly clear: DENVER, FOR GOD'S SAKE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Sharp criticism tempered with humor.

Typical Tip. R.B. Carney '16 Submarines vs Aviators Shipmate: As submarine navigators, we appreciate the problems of our aviator cohorts. After gaining experience the hard way, we learned to treat their navigation and recognition with calculated caution. Not that we mistrusted them, but well-publicized facts demanded at least some skepticism. Who could forget the intrepid young man who took off for a routine transcontinental flight and wound up in Ireland? Then there was the early WW II report, "Sighted sub, sank same," There was some doubt Shipmate, December 1982

that it was a sub, but of prime importance to us, whose?

When it came to recognition and identification, 1 never knew a submariner who really trusted an aviator. Respected, yes; but trusted? . . . you be the judge.

As skipper of POLLACK, we were assigned a lifeguard mission off Yap, receiving periodic reports of the number of Army planes and the expected time they would strike the island. We would maneuver submerged into a good spotting position and, if all seemed well, surface until completion of the raid. Since there were no seagoing Jap defenders, we gradually came closer each day until we really wound up with box office seats.

Although the performance rarely started on time and the cast seldom agreed with that billed on the program, it was fairly interesting.

After some twenty days of this, we were told that Navy planes based on the recently-secured Mariannas would take over. My first mistake was to assume the plot would not change and that the reserved seats were still ours. When the Navy planes showed up for the first time, we were in our usual position. With no opposition for us, we surfaced shortly after the bombing began. Our concentration was interrupted when one of the planes left formation and appeared to be losing altitude. We identified ourselves by voice radio and stated that we were standing by. There was no answer, but that was standard. You could be on the same frequency and hear nothing but fly boy chit-chat; but when you opened up, they clammed up.

The plane continued to lose altitude and headed in our general direction. We envisioned that we would no longer be passive bystanders but active participants.

I changed course to put our broadside to the troubled aircraft to assist in identification and show them that they were among friends. Having been idling on one main engine, I ordered the three remaining diesels put on the line to expedite recovery if necessary.

Suddenly the report, "Her engine is on fire" galvanized an already tense bridge.

I sent lookouts below, a firm indication that we might be diving shortly. Almost at once, we saw that the smoke was not from an engine but from a machine gun.

Its bullets kicked up a line of spray in an otherwise glassy sea and were headed towards us. We pulled the plug — but fast! One quartermaster, one Exec and one C O . slithered simultaneously through the conning tower hatch designed for but one person at a time. Fortunately, machine gun ammo was all our former friend expended. From the serene depths, blue language emanated from you know whom.

Several days later, on termination of patrol, we submitted the required mes-

sage to headquarters on patrol highlights.

It had a brief statement extolling the gratitude of naval aviators in general, and one in particular.

Back in port, at debriefing, the other side of the coin was presented. Our former friend had reported sighting a surfaced Jap submarine which had opened fire on him! Confronted with this information, I again acted most calmly. When pulled off the overhead, I allowed that, yes, it was possible that we had emitted a puff or two of exhaust when lighting off the other main engines.

Friendship Entre

Nous

Shipmate: As all naval officers know, John P. Holland is credited with the invention of the submarine. Few may know that he was an Irish schoolteacher who came to Paterson NJ in 1873, a panic year, and lived among the poor potato famine emigrants who worked, old women and kids, from 7AM to 9PM in that city's silk mills. Because there were no public schools, he taught them in St. John's (Cathedral) parochial school as a member of St. John's Sunday School Teachers Association (SJSSTA). Even today, there is a sandstone building near the Cathedral with those letters on it, better known as "Entre Nous" Hall.

Holland taught my father there until he had to go to work at age nine, and it was my high school gymnasium. But why "Entre Nous"?

Holland's efforts were partly supported by the Irish Sinn Fein Society, in opposition to the British crown, and his contract was to develop the FENLAN RAM, a submarine for use by Irish rebels. An earlier version had sunk in the Passaic River and remained there for years, but was later raised and repaired for mounting in Westside Park. It is now being moved to the City Museum. "Entre Nous" in French, "Between (among) ourselves (us)" in English, is an obvious effort to disguise "Sinn Fein," its Gaelic equivalent.

In recognition of Holland's Irish roots, a museum in his honor has been established in his birthplace, Liscannor, County Clare, in Ireland. Dora O'Donnell. Museum Director, would welcome any memorabilia needing a permanent home.

The Grand Mediterranean P a s s a g e Eleven Alumni Association members and guests made the Grand Mediterranean Passage aboard the yacht ARGONAUT from 16 to 30 August. Making the tour were: Ed Hodgkins '32, guest Mrs. Virginia de la Plante, John and Lucy Roenigk '34, "Raoul" and Helen Louise Waller '24, Anita (Mrs. K.A.) Hartmann '23, Tate and Mary Margaret Simpson '32, and Bill and Ruth Mack '37.

Attendance was held down somewhat by anticipation of the annual August influx of tourists from Northern Europe and the heat of the Summer. Still, sixtyfour tourists were given royal treatment by a staff designed to serve 150, which more than made up for the heat. The ARGONAUT, already well known to many Alumni travellers, continued her reputation for friendly elegance. Good food and service abounded, and were always there to meet the returning daily tourists.

The entire tour was efficiently handled by the firm of Raymond and Whitcomb, an organization of worldwide reknown.

The tour visited eleven ports in eleven days, a navigational feat in itself. The group flew to Barcelona for a day of shore side shakedown before boarding the ARGONAUT for an over night trip to the French port of Sete and a side trip to the ancient walled city of Carcassone.

Next came a stop at Monaco, moored Mediterranean style a few yards from the centrally located swimming pool. Side trips were made to Nice, Eze, and other nearby areas with local visits to the Palace and the casinos.

The next ports of call were Genoa in the morning and Portofino in the afternoon of the same day. This meant a lot of navigation and shiphandUng by our competent Greek captain, ably assisted by kibitzers from our group. Our stop at Livorno the next day permitted a trip to Florence and a passing look at the leaning tower of Pisa.

After return from Florence on Sunday, the group gathered for a party in one of the lounges where old tours and times were talked about. The picture shows the group just before going in to the dining room for one of our fine dinners.

Rome, Salerno, Pompeii, and Paestum followed in quick order, and then a fascinating transit through the straits of Messina with all hands looking for Scylla and Charybdis. After a brief stop at Taormina, the ARGONAUT cruised for a Shipmate, December 1982

day enroute to Dubrovnik. This welcome break allowed all hands to work on their sun tans and recharge their batteries.

Dubrovnik was interesting and beautiful, complemented by a side trip to the country for a trout lunch at a country inn.

Heading south again, the group stopped at Corfu before making an early morning transit of the Corinth Canal, an 80-foot wide, deeply cut canal leading to Piraeus, where the group disembarked with regret for a two-day stay at the Grand Bretagne Hotel in Athens. After visits to the Acropolis and other points of interest, a shopping tour, and some Athenian night life, the trip ended as it had begun, in the TWA area of JFK airport in New York, and all hands dispersed to home areas.

The ARGONAUT, a fifty-year-old but refurbished yacht that served in World War II as USS VDCEN, Admiral King's flagship, was a true home away from home. Food was excellent and continuously available, service was superb, and the air conditioning worked.

All of us recommend the cruise if it is scheduled again, but suggest a month other than August for Southern Europe.

Otherwise you will enjoy the ARGONAUT any place, any time.

Price Memorial Pavilion Dedicated

Who's Who in Navy Blue

Naval Academy Superintendent VAdm. E.C. Waller accepted the Lieutenant Dean A. Price Memorial Pavilion in ceremonies held at the Hospital Point picnic grounds on 25 September. The pavilion was dedicated to Lt. Price, a 1976 graduate, who was killed in the crash of an H-3 twin-jet heUcopter on 15 June 1980 during an operational flight from St. Croix, Virgin Islands, to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Lt. Price's parents, Maurice D. and Bernadette Price, were present for the ceremonies. Mr. Price, a retired Chief Petty Officer, has been on the Academy's police force for the past 18 years.

Construction of the Price Memorial Pavilion was made through contributions received from the Price family, friends, and classmates. The pavilion was designed by Mr. Domokos Hajdo of the USNA Public Works Department and constructed by Navy Construction BattaHon Unit 403. The Alumni Association coordinated the memorial project.

The Book of the Month Club recently promoted a series of five cassettes of The Complete Marches of Sousa, one of which is "Who's Who in Navy Blue," composed in 1920 as a Naval Academy class march. The brochure gives this story of how that came about: "The very interesting history of this march, and the origin of its title, came to light recently in correspondence discovered in the Sousa family documents. The papers reveal that the march had been requested in a letter from Midshipman William A. (Navy Bill) Ingram dated 23 June 1918. In the letter Sousa was not asked for a march, but for a class song for those midshipmen graduating in 1920.

"For a variety of reasons the march was not composed at that time. Also, there arose a series of misunderstandings over the title and a proposed set of verses. Among those titles under consideration was 'Ex Scientia Tridens,' which Sousa personally thought would be more suitable for a breakfast food or a flu remedy. Other proposed titles included 'Admirals All,' 'American Navy,' 'Gentlemen Sailors,' 'Annapolis March,' 'Navy Days,' and a number of others.

"The march was eventually written for the Class of 1921, and a letter from Midshipman T.R. Wirth, dated 17 October 1920, gave notification that Sousa had been unanimously elected an honorary member of the Class of 1921. The march was dedicated 'to Tecumseh', the wooden Indian figurehead that was the center of much Annapolis tradition."

Duty Assignments After Graduation

Here are the numbers authorized for 1983 USNA graduate assignments to the various service categories: General Unrestricted Line-22, Conventional Surface-23 (not a maximum). Nuclear Surface-60, Submarines-221, Strategic Weapons-9, Special Warfare-3, Special Operations-4, Naval Flight Officers-114, Aviation Pilots-216, Medical Training-15, Engineering Duty (ship engineering)-8.

Engineering Duty (surface or submarine option)-5, Aeronautical Engineering (aviation maintenance)-4, Cryptology-4,

Intelligence-3, Geophysics-3, Supply Corps-16, and Civil Engineer Corps-7.

That is a total of 927 Navy billets, plus about 160 Marine Corps, for the Class of 1983.

The medical training option was only recently approved for 6 maximum of 15 USNA graduates (not for NROTC) for the first time since the mid-'70s, as a means of providing a medical career option for the few qualified midshipmen who decide that that is their field.

However, the Academy is not recruiting for potential medical officers and will not offer a pre-med major; the medical applicants still must complete a normal four-years of line officer training and then qualify for admission to the Uniformed Services University of the Health Services. From past experience, it is expected that not more than about five graduates will enter the medical field in any one year.

Individual assignments within the various service categories are made on the basis of class standing, physical qualification, and personal preference as indicated on service selection night in mid-January.

Color Blindness Waiver to End Color blind applicants will be denied admission to the Naval Academy beginning with the Class of 1988. Authority to waive color blindness has been in effect since 1975, to the limit that up to one percent of the entering class could be granted color blindness waivers if they agreed to select the Marine Corps as their service upon graduation.

In announcing the cancellation, the Navy said that experience has shown that only about one-fourth of the midshipmen admitted under the waiver actually requested the Marines, the remainder asking for commissions in the Navy. This created a problem because the request for Navy commissions took the waivered midshipmen out of the volunteer category as far as the Marine Corps was concerned â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the Marines will commission only volunteers.

The Navy therefore concluded that to continue the waiver policy would not be in the best interests of the service.

Shipmate, December 1982

Call for History Papers The Naval Academy History Department will sponsor its sixth annual Naval History Symposium on 29-30 September 1983. The Symposium is seeking papers on all topics relating to naval and maritime history. Proposals should be sent to Ass't. Prof. Daniel M. Masterson, History Department, USNA, Annapolis MD 21402. The deadline for proposals is 1 April 1983.

Naval Academy Wins Viner Sailing Trophy A Naval Academy team of officers and faculty captured the prestigious Viner Trophy for the Royal Navy Officers' Club Regatta held in early October at Greenwich, Conn. The regatta pitted members of the RN Officers' Club of New York against officers representing the navies of Great Britain, Canada and the U.S. Racing yachts ranged from a 50-year-old 6-meter boat to a C&C 40 sloop, with boats drawn randomly and results corrected for time.

In its first appearance at the regatta in seven years, the Naval Academy team was in third place after the first day's races. Impressive first and second places in the final race gave the overall title to the Academy team. Skippers for the winning Navy team were LCdr. Jamie Bardolf-Smith RN (amusing, because he's

the RN exchange officer serving here), LCdr. Noel Daigle and Lt. Marty Drake USN, and Sailing Master Bert Wylds of the Seamanship Department.

Inman Resigns as House Consultant When Adm. Bobby Inman, former Director of NSA, retired as Deputy Director of the CIA last April, he agreed to serve as a non-paid consultant to the House InteUigence Committee. He has now resigned from that position because of poHtical partisanship in the Committee. He told U P I that his resignation was prompted by not being consulted on a "seriously flawed" subcommittee report distributed on 22 September that was highly critical of U.S. inteUigence performance in Central America, with emphasis on El Salvador. That report, the Admiral said, "was put out on party lines," whereas congressional oversight, to be valid and credible, must be bipartisan.

As Admiral Inman said, "If this country doesn't establish a bipartisan approach to intelligence, we are not going to face the problems of the next fifty years."

Department of the Portsmouth NH Naval Shipyard. At some risk of reprisal from the government employees concerned, Cdr. Kirtley foiled an illegal kick-back scheme involving hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in overpayments to private contractors selling to the Shipyard.

His role in the war against fraud, waste and abuse began in the Spring of 1980 shortly after reporting to the Yard.

Noticing that two of his purchasing agents were "closely fraternizing" with contractor salesman despite the rule that government personnel must keep contractors "at arm's length," he began to keep track of the salesmen's visits and to examine departmental records for irregularities. When he discovered incomplete records and found evidence of possible favoritism toward particular companies, Cdr. Kirtley took the problem to the Naval Investigation Service.

NIS told him that, unknown to the Shipyard, one of the private contractor suppliers was already under investigation by the FBI, who had begun looking into his operations earlier that year after receiving a call from the president of the company. He had told the FBI that some of his employees had been giving illegal home fuel oil deUveries, air tickets, and other gifts to Shipyard purchasing agents in return for special considerations in contract awards.

Cdr. Kirtley then volunteered to help in collecting evidence on the Shipyard end of the operation. Over a period of two years, he arduously and painstakingly

combed through files, observed operations in his department, and gathered documentary evidence, putting the material in order, piUng up proof, and developing exhibits for use in court.

When the cases came to federal court, Kirtley served as "translator," helping the prosecutors understand the special forms and language of Navy contracting.

As one said, "The FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Offices couldn't have done it without Cdr. Kirtley. His help in tracking down and interpreting the series of transactions and deals in the case was the key to conviction and sentencing."

Two of the contractor's employees were convicted of conspiracy to defraud the government and of giving illegal gratuities. One received a short prison term and both will be on probation for several years. Two government employees were also convicted of fraud against the government. One was sentenced to a year in prison; the other, who pleaded guilty and turned state's evidence, was sentenced to give 200 hours of community service. Both had been discharged from the Shipyard in December of 1980 after lengthy Civil Service hearings begun by Kirtley.

Adm. J.G. Williams, Chief of Naval Material, VAdm. E.B. Fowler, Commander Naval Sea Systems Command, and RAdm. A.A. Giordano, Commander Naval Supply Systems Command, invited Cdr. Kirtley to Washington to present him with the Navy Commendation Medal for his outstanding performance and to praise him pubUcly for his "guts and gumption" and "his willingness to get involved and to see a sticky situation through to the end."

After graduation he served during the Korean War in USS NICHOLAS (DDE-449), then earned aviator's wings in 1953 and served in Attack Squadron 95. He is a graduate of the PG School at Monterey and of the United Kingdom Joint Services Staff College. His commands include Attack Carrier Air Wing 7 and Carrier Group 8, USS MOUNT WHITNEY (LCC-20) and USS SARATOGA

(CV-60), and the Naval Safety Center.

He holds two each Silver Star Medals and Distinguished Flying Crosses for service in Vietnam.

Demobilization and Change Naval Personnel

Problems

1945-47

Admiral James L. Holloway, Jr. USN (Ret.) with Assistant Professor Jack Sweetman

In October 1945 the war had been over for two months and the Navy was beginning the enormous process of demobilization. Down in the catacombs of the Navy Annex we were signing Part Three of the Holloway Plan when a Marine orderly popped in and said Admiral Fechteler, Assistant Chief of Naval Personnel, wanted to see me at once. When I reported to him he said, "Pack up and leave immediately for the West Coast.

Pat Flanigan has just told Mr. Forrestal that demobilization in the Pacific is completely chaotic and the Secretary says you are to go out there and take charge."

Mr. Forrestal, later first Secretary of Defense, was Secretary of the Navy.

President Truman and he knew that what the country wanted was to get the people home quickly, and the Secretary was determined that demobilization would be a star in the Navy's crown. Howard A. (Pat) Flanigan '10, had the PAUL JONES

on the China Station in '22 when I was exec of the TRUXTUN there. Later he retired, made money and went to live in Switzerland. During the war he came back to active duty as a rear admiral and Mr. Forrestal often sent him out as an observer. He was aggressive, vociferous and positive. Younger officers loved, feared, and admired him. His peers were fond of him, but preferred not to cross swords with him. (The only people on the station impervious to him were Ching Lee '08, commanding WILLLAM B . PRESTON, who was too smart to be bothered by anybody, and Red Mike Freeman '00, ComDesDiv 45, who could freeze Pat with one look of his cold blue eyes.)

When Pat returned from the West Coast and told Mr. Forrestal vociferously that demobilization was in chaos, Mr. Forrestal was extremely put out because that's where the great mass of Navy people were coming in, and he gave the order to VAdm. Louis Denfeld, CNP, to send me out there. Bill Fechteler, Admiral Denfeld's deputy, passed the order to me.

An interpellation is required here. For better or worse, Mr. Forrestal and Admiral Denfeld seemed to have explicit confidence in my capacity to resolve sticky problems â&#x20AC;&#x201D; "carry the message to Garcia." This is frankly immodest but nevertheless factual, extending from 1942 through the entire period both were active. That explains the orders conveyed me by Fechteler.

Commander, Western Sea Frontier, was Adm. Royal Ingersoll '05, who was CinC in the Atlantic most of the war. I said, "Bill, I refuse to go out there and go over the head of Admiral Ingersoll, who's one of the greatest and most senior men we have." We sparred a bit and finally I said, "Let me have 24 hours to work it out," and he acquiesced.

The first thing was to check the Washington end of demobilization. Captain Wally Petersen '24 (later Rear Admiral) and his group had developed an excellent demobilization plan. They'd worked out a point system for order of release, set up the sites, and designed a sort of conveyor belt system along which the men would pass through cubicles for record. Everything was fine on this end.

That meant to me there could be only one answer to the problem out west, i.e., demobilization-center undermanning and lack of command attention.

In 24 hours I returned to Fechteler and said, "Make me Assistant Chief of Naval Personnel for Demobilization and I'm ready to go." He wanted to make me a special assistant, but after a little argument he agreed. I took a twin-engined Lockheed Vega, just the right size for a smaU staff to keep throughout the operation, and flew west.

The first stop was Seattle, where my old friend Red Mike Freeman was District Commandant. 1 told him, "Admiral, the war's over and I'm bringing you a message straight from Mr. Forrestal. You are to throw aU the necessary yeomen, disbursing clerks, and other people you need into the demobilization system and

eliminate the backlog." Admiral Freeman was a doer. He called in his Chief of Staff and before I had left his office the ball began to roll.

From there we went to San Francisco.

Boscoe Wright '12 had the 12th Naval District. 1 gave him the same message.

Meanwhile, 1 paid my respects to Admiral Ingersoll, for whom 1 had both affection and highest admiration. Things started rolling at once in the northern CaUfornia area also.

The next stop was San Diego. Eef Friedell '05 was Com 11. He was a dear fellow, but he was under more pressure from the forces afloat than the others so he wasn't as concerned in demobilization as with keeping the incoming ships manned. In my presence he called Admiral Ingersoll and said, "Admiral, Jimmie Holloway is here and he says the Secretary says to drop everything and get demobilization going." I could hear Admrial IngersoU's voice come back over the telephone: "Well, you'd better do it."

Thence back to Washington. Processing picked up rapidly on the West Coast, but there was the transportation problem to resolve, with an overwhelming percentage of the peoples' homes east of the Rockies. Immediately upon return to the department the top railroad representatives were asked to come in from Chicago, the railroad center of the nation. Admiral Denfeld was at the Pentagon and we met in his office at the Navy Annex. Various ideas were beat around briefly and one of the railroad men said, "Give us arriving ships' movements so we can anticipate needs."

To that one of the officers in the NavPers transportation bureaucracy replied, "It's none of the railroads' business." I stepped in at that point and said, "Yes it is their business. We're going to give them everything they need to expedite transportation." He put me on the pap with Admiral Denfeld, but nothing came of it.

Shipmate, December 1982

To run the transportation operation I picked Red Yaeger '27 (later Vice Admiral), a very forceful gent who had been with me when I was Director of Training in '43 and '44. "Red," I said, "you're Director of Rail Transportation for the Navy and you get 'em home." He flew out to Chicago to see the President of the American Association of Railroads.

They sat down and assembled the rolling stock. 1 think they reached as low as the Toonerville trolley. They took engines and passenger cars from the southern railroads, and all other equipment that was available and under-utilized, and pushed it across the Rockies. When the men came out of demobilization the trains were ready for them.

The actual process of passing through the demobilization centers was a splendid conception. Mr. Forrestal insisted that every man be given a new suit of blues or, if his suit was good, that it would be cleaned and pressed free. The men went through some 30-odd desks in cubicles, and at the end there was a graduation ceremony for each group. They assembled in small auditoriums and after the national anthem, nothing less than a four-striper gave them their diplomas — their discharges — plus a certificate of excellent conduct in the war. They went home looking sharp and with good papers in their hands.

The only addition I made to the centers was to install a final booth. At that point each man (excluding CPOs) was offered a promotion of one grade on the spot if he would sign up in the inactive reserve. A great many of them did, and that saved the day five years later during the Korean mobilization when we simply activated the inactive reserve and got our veterans back.

About this time the Meade Committee was in action. This was Mr. Truman's old Committee on the Conduct of the War; Senator Meade had taken it over when Mr. Truman became Vice President. The country was angry that the services weren't demobilizing faster and they called us up on The Hill for an accounting. When they questioned me, I said, "The Navy will have every man whose points make him eligible for discharge home by Christmas." They questioned me no further. We had our people home

by Christmas. The heads in the southern railway passenger cars froze up going over the Rockies, but nobody seemed to mind.

Having finished with demobilization in January 1946, I was appointed an Assistant Chief of Naval Personnel for OperaShipmate, December 1982

y tions. One of our activities was to draft a new officer personnel bill, which under the direction of Mr. Vinson became an act of Congress, and under which the Navy Uved pretty happily for some 20-odd years. The committee — staffsupported, of course — was composed of Felix Johnson '20, LCol. Buddy Knighton USMC, and myself. We had the usual brouhaha over Brigadier General (1 star) vis-a-vis Rear Admiral lower half (2 stars), but the Marines went along in the end to attain unanimity.

Valuable guidance was received on the aviation side of the picture from the new Chief of Naval Personnel, Tommy Sprague '18, an aviator. Mr. Vinson insisted that the law provide that captains would be promoted to rear admiral strictly in the order of selection. The other services had systems whereby a pool of people were selected and the service secretaries could reach in and take them in any order they wanted. Thanks to Mr. Vinson, the Navy's system protected selectees from any political pressure.

One day that Summer General Eisenhower, then Army Chief of Staff, sent Admiral Nimitz, the CNO, a handwritten note on a little, grimy slip of paper, proposing the establishment of a joint staff

(X>v»->wa_a

hru.^^fbj)

S e c r e t a r y of t h e Kavy college, to be administered by the Navy.

Admiral Nimitz concurred and bucked the note to Denfeld, who bucked it on to me, scribbling, "Jimmie — do it."

The first item of business was to select a faciUty. MGen. Partridge of the Army Air Force was associated with me in this.

Partridge told me, "Admiral, there's no use to look at any Army Air Force installations. They're all built of wood and the termites are eating them up." So we quickly settled on the Receiving Ship Norfolk, where the college is now. It was then a depressing sight. But the buildings were solid, with concrete footings and steel girders, and would stand a thousand years. Both services agreed on the location. The Army gave half-a-miUion dollars in recission funds, money available before Congress took it back.

The Navy put in a like amount, in aU a million dollars. We called on the Public Works Officer of the 5th Naval District, Captain Halloran, Civil Engineer Corps, and said, "Build it." The people who planned the design and curriculum — chiefly Forrest Sherman '18 and the brilliant young Air Force General (later CinCEur) Lauris Norstad, decided to make the course last six months because that was the minimum to ensure that the students would get transportation for 15

dependents and household effects. We decided to have apartments for students.

This was a departure, as the Navy had always been a Uttle chinchy in that regard, preferring to spend its money for ships.

During this same period I was given carte blanche to spot-promote selected, speciaUst reserve officers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; inventory experts, warehousing people, and so on â&#x20AC;&#x201D; due to go inactive duty, if they would stay on an extra six or twelve months and help administer the roll-up of the mass of Navy material spread across the Pacific. There was an instance in which I exercised this authority probably a Uttle more freely than the Secretary had intended, and spot-promoted an officer to commodore. It didn't cost the navy any money, though, because captains and commodores were then paid the same.

This was in connection with the Joint Staff CoUege. Halloran had done a great job with the construction and conversion but, as the opening date of January 1947 approached, he couldn't get the plumbing for the students' apartments. The War Production Board, headquartered in Washington, would not release it.

Through the grapevine I learned there

was a naval officer (in a key position on the board) who was yearning for flag rank. I spotted him to commodore and all of a sudden the plumbing was released, and the coUege opened on schedule.

In January 1947 I was ordered as Superintendent of the Naval Academy, where I was stationed while Radford, Burke, Denfeld, Forrest Sherman and their brilliant associates and staffs literally saved the Navy before the Congress, from an influential but misguided group that wished to denigrate the Navy to an escort and coast defense service. (Radford tells the whole story in the section of his memoirs entitled The Revolt of the Admirals.) It was at this time that I first heard the term "civiUan control" used in reference to the services. As I recall, if was often used by Louis Johnson, who succeeded Mr. Forrestal as Secretary of Defense and appeared to be no friend of the Navy. Some of us beUeved that it was a codeword for a single chief of staff (CNO to be an assistant chief of stafO, proposed and strongly pushed by some powerful Army elements. The Navy had always recognized what we called the "civil authority," the complex of na-

tionally elected legislators, officials and Senate-confirmed individuals who administer our armed forces at the highest fiscal and poUcy echelons, and has always been loyal to it. But, "civiUan control"?

I conceived the term sUghtly insulting in its impUcations. ControUed by what civilians? And what kind of control?

Later, when I was Chief of Naval Personnel, I refused to accept a fitness report on any commissioned officer, ensign or senior, that was not signed by someone who enjoyed the same appointive status, i.e.. Senate confirmation.

The term "civil authority" has a noble and constitutional ring. It is traditional in both America and Great Britain. I hope some day we will return it to the lexicon of Federal government and induce a higher mutual respect and pride between our constitutional civiUan officials and those who wear the uniforms of commissioned officers of our country's professional mihtary defenders.

A Profile of Leadersliip The Example of Chester

W. Nimitz

Frank A. Driskill and D e d e W. Casad

The bombing of Pearl Harbor sent shock waves throughout the world. Each person then alive remembers where he or she was on that date, 7 December 1941.

They vividly remember how they received the unbeUevable news that the Japanese had attacked the United States Fleet at Pearl Harbor.

Chester Nimitz described exactly where he was on that date as it became forged in his mind like a rivet in a steel plate. It was a Sunday and the day was crisp and bright. The sun penetrated through clouds on that icy afternoon, helping to warm the hearts and hearths of famiUes settUng down to nap. Chester and Catherine Nimitz lounged lazUy in the Uving room of their apartment in Washington, D.C. Ustening on their radio to Arthur Rodzinski conduct the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.

Bombs and Beethoven do not mix. The mood was quickly broken when an excited radio commentator interrupted the symphony to bring the staggering message â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pearl Harbor, our Naval base in Hawaii, had been attacked by the Japanese.

Nimitz bolted from his seat. He had to go to the office even though he didn't know how badly the unexpected attack had damaged the fleet. He grabbed his cap and topcoat as the telephone rang.

Captain John F. Shafroth was calUng to say he would pick the Admiral up immediately and take him to the Navy Department. Nimitz put the phone down and asked Catherine to call his aide and flag secretary. Lieutenant Commander H. Arthur Lamar, and tell him to join him at the office. With this he kissed her goodbye as he made a single sobering statement, "I won't be back until God knows when."

The time it took for Nimitz to travel by car from his home to the Navy Department seemed endless. Each block became a mile and each moment a month. When he arrived Nimitz learned the grim truth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; much of the United Shipmate, December 1982

States Pacific Fleet was sunken in the mud of Pearl Harbor. Hangars and buildings were burned. Two hundred planes were destroyed right where they stood and thousands of sailors, soldiers and marines had been killed or injured.

The shock was beyond belief, the emergency crucial.

Nimitz also learned that Admiral Stark, the Chief of Naval Operations, with the consent of President Roosevelt, had radioed the U.S. Navy's first combat directive to all commanders in Panama and the Pacific area: "Execute unrestricted air and submarine warfare against Japan".

The United States was at war!

The next few days were a scurry of activity and confusion. All Navy personnel were ordered back to duty. Information was wrapped in a cloak of security and orders had to be executed and assigned to the proper channels. Secrecy was imperative, and the lackadaisical attitude of peacetime was radically converted into a tightly controUed system of operations.

The Nimitz household was also turned upside down. In a space of hours a relaxed Nimitz, who Uved comfortably with his family and foUowed a fixed routine, was catapulted into a new era of moment-by-moment decision making.

Uncertainty lived with all of them and each knew nothing would ever be the same again. They were now a part of a fast moving picture that had taken on a kaleidoscope of change, and they knew it.

Chester Nimitz knew it most of all.

The normally taciturn Texan began to weigh his situation privately. His overall aggressive nature and his sense of fairness came into play. He had never Uked war, but if it came, he wanted to play a vital role. His academic preparation and training was in wartime strategy. For the past two years he had been involved in planning the placement of ships. The map room was his game room. The sea was his mistress. Nimitz knew the dangers of

the sea as well as the uncertainties of war. Strategies and plans had to be matched with the action of the enemy.

He knew that in doing so authority was absolute. At sea authority was as vital as food. It had to be absolutely unquestioned. The sea held its own law and that law was administered by strong and courageous men who knew when to bring about quick and immediate action.

Nimitz felt the surge of the sea within himself. He heard the call of the bosun's pipe. He caught the current of war and was ready. One way or another Nimitz was preparing in his mind to go to war to meet the chaUenge.

In two days. Secretary of Navy Frank Knox left for a personal inspection of Pearl Harbor. In the next ten days all hands were on deck at the Navy Department. Calls and emergency duties swamped aU the offices. When Knox returned to Washington, he reported immediately to President Roosevelt. The next morning, 16 December, the Navy Secretary called Nimitz on the phone before they met later in the day.

Knox's conversation with the President had been brief and to the point. "Tell Nimitz to get the heU out to Pearl Harbor and stay there tiU the war is won", Roosevelt had shouted.

Nimitz was stunned. Why? There were twenty-eight admirals with rank senior to him. Two years ago he had declined to be considered when his friend, Admiral Kimmel, was chosen to go to Pearl Harbor. Instead he stayed in Washington as Chief of the Bureau of Navigation. Now Nimitz was assigned without precedent and to add to his own hesitancy he was taking command away from a longtime friend. Under normal circumstances this would not have set weU with him, but Kimmel was in trouble. In the Navy duty was without compromise and Nimitz was a Navy man. On 17 December 1941, Chester W. Nimitz accepted the appointment of Commander-in-Chief in the 17

Pacific and went to war as a four-star admiral.

Historians do not Ust the twenty-eight senior officers Nimitz passed over. With his skill for remembering names and facts, he knew the names of each one; their talents, their professional abilities and their style of leadership. Nimitz thought hard about the President's selection. He had to ask himself why had he been chosen over such a cadre of experience and rank?

To answer that question it was neccessary to get inside the minds of President Roosevelt and Secretary of Navy Knox. One would have to know the qualities of leadership they were looking for and the type of man needed. Looking back on history it can easily be said the President and Secretary made a wise choice, but this is judging after the fact.

To make such a judgment in the heat of battle was another matter.

Actually, Nimitz had expressed his own personal doubts to Secretary Knox. The Pacific command should go to Vice Admiral William S. Pye, who had been commander of the battle force ad interim after Kimmel was relieved of duty. This was a natural reaction for Nimitz, who knew that Pye was in Une for the job. He also knew that had the situation been different at the time of the Japanese attack and he had been in command, the same thing could have happened to him.

Nimitz was realistic and he was also practical.

What was it about this soft-spoken, determined man that set the minds of desperate leaders to choose him above others in line? What, in the Nimitz record, indicated he was the man for this monumental task â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this unprecedented situation? Perhaps, it was a strange combination of characteristics both acquired and natural that composed his makeup.

No historical document could ever reveal the process used in making the decision but there were certain qualities that stood out boldly about this man and his career. Chester Nimitz had the qualities of greatness in his character. He was a family man who loved his home and his friends. Most of all he loved his country. He always spoke with pride of his son and his three daughters. He cherished his academic associations and he maintained a sense of value as well as a sense of humor that seemed to simmer just beneath the surface of his smile.

On the other hand there was little in Nimitz's record to suggest that he should be the one picked by a president to provide the strategy of a new war. He had 18

had a couple of years of battleship and cruiser duty, had commanded Submarine Division 14 and later the Submarine Base at Pearl Harbor, and had a year at the Naval War College. These were routine duties of an officer and could have been considered plush appointments. Only the early period of 1926-29 can be said to have offered true combat preparation. In later years he organized one of the first NROTC Units, at the University of CaUfornia in Berkeley.

Three outstanding but different leaders

His capacity for making friends stood him in good stead throughout his career.

This often underrated quality, though neither showy nor dramatic, provided a back drop for his success. In making friends he learned about people. He studied men in every area of association.

He learned about their strengths, their weaknesses and their talent for leadership. He took pride in seeing that the officers under him were given assignments for which they were aptly suited. This ability, alone, served the Navy and the country long before Pearl Harbor. It improved the effectiveness and the efficiency of day-to-day operations and would now enhance his new role as Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific.

That those above him knew or considered aU this is speculation. What they knew was that Nimitz got along. In his low-key approach to life he maintained a second place posture while doing a firstclass job. He didn't seek publicity from the press nor popularity from naval personnel. He simply did the job his way â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and his way proved surprisingly sucessful.

The portrait of Nimitz is drawn in direct contrast to the publicity seeking manner of Douglas MacArthur, and it is

no wonder that the Admiral did not particularly care for the general. Their taste for recognition was diametrically opposite. Nimitz bore a certain amount of dignified humility that General MacArthur never exhibited or appreciated. And to MacArthur's frustrations, Nimitz was wise enough to recognize that his own humility acted as a adaptive function for him in times of high level meetings, extremely tense situations and in potentially embarrassing circumstances. The simple act of walking when he could ride in a chauffered car or writing a memo himself rather than giving it to a secretary provided a human element in what communicated to his peers and his admirers. He traded on his humility as MacArthur traded on his arrogance.

Nimitz traded on his sense of humor in a different way. He used it at every point for effect and result. Consequently he was one of the most likeable men in the service regardless of rank or station. His lack of flamboyancy did not hurt him.

Rather, he gathered respect like a father gathering in his children and even the rookie sailor could sense one didn't have to cut through a facade to reach the true man.

Quietly and unassumingly Nimitz won the respect of his men. He may not have been what they thought they wanted â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a rough and tough commander but he brought to the job a practical and workable approach that was both sensitive and stable. He wore well. His quiet personal drive brought forward the best of himself and others around him. As a strategist he planned with meticulous precision and as a tactician executed with authority. In time he became the man with the quiet power who weathered Wake Island, Midway and the Philippines, all with style and dignity. After taking over, he kept his war under control all the way to victory.

Chester W. Nimitz was one of a kind, who came at a time when he was needed the most.

Shipmate, December 1982

Where Have All The Cruisers Gone?

Rear Admiral J o h n R. Wadleigh USN (Ret.)

As dawn broke on 1 December 1942, silhouetting Savo Island on the east, I was on the signal bridge of cruiser HONOLULU, my battle station as flag lieutenant to RAdm. Mahlon S. ("Tip") Tisdale '12. The battle of Tassaforanga was over and he was in command of the South Pacific Surface Striking Force (TF 67), or what was left of it. Of five cruisers that had entered Lunga Roads late on 30 November under RAdm. Carleton Wright '12 to intercept Japanese warships resupplying their Guadalcanal troops, only HONOLLTLU remained operational. On 1 December, HoNOLtn,u was not only the lone cruiser off Savo but also one of only three fully operational in the South Pacific. Since the beginning of the campaign nineteen cruisers had come into the area. In the Defense Department jargon of 1982 such attrition would be classified as "unacceptable". What follows are some of my memories of this attrition during the months that I was traveUing with "Tip" Tisdale through the South Pacific.

On 20 June 1933, 1 was sworn into the United States Navy by Cdr. Mahlon S. Tisdale, officer in charge of the plebe battalion at the Naval Academy. From then until the end of second class year he played an important role in the indoctrination of the Class of 1937. His Bancroft Hall nickname, "The Big Bad Wolf," was well justified. He could remember records, good and bad, accurately, and no officer in the Executive Department knew our class so well. Just before Second Class June Week I had answered his report for "talking in ranks", observed by his sharp eye from afar. It was my last contact with him for six years!

After the battle of Midway, as a survivor of carrier YORKTOWN I was at Pearl Harbor awaiting orders, hoping for the United States and new construction. In mid-June orders came, sending me in quite the opposite direction. Along with two other survivors, John Huntley '31 Shipmate, December 1982

and Bill Seipt '33, I was directed to report to Commander Cruisers, TF 16, upon his arrival in Hawaii for duty on his staff. When we found out who was to be ComCru TF 16, I drew a deep breath in amazement. Newly promoted RAdm. Tisdale would hardly have requested this star performer in his plebe "awkward squad" of 1933 as an aide! In this I was correct, for on 4 July when Huntley and I met the new admiral at the Pan American Clipper Terminal, with him was Charlie Sugarman '32, ordered as his aide by BuPers. Since our orders were from Pacific Fleet Headquarters, I had a brief vision of returning to the States after all, but such was not my lot.

Huntley, senior to Sugarman, went homeward. The latter was designated Chief of Staff and Flag Secretary, and I became Flag Lieutenant. Bill Seipt, formerly YORKTOWN'S Radio Officer, was Flag Communication Officer. Thus began six months of interesting and at times hectic "travels with Tisdale" aboard cruisers in the South Pacific. Our Commander at the age of fifty-two still had the appearance of a "big bad wolf", but working for him on a day to day basis was never dull, most instructive, both pleasant and rewarding.

Our smaU staff, which included LCdr. Hayes Irons, Flag Aviator, and Ens. Doug Coulson, Communication Watch Officer ("George"), with twenty enUsted personnel, were already embarked in the heavy cruiser PORTLAND, where flag facilities were minimal. We had hopes of shifting to the brand new antiaircraft cruiser, ATLANTA, fitted as a flotilla flagship and carrying the latest radar equipment. The Admiral, whose last sea command had been heavy cruiser CHESTER, preferred PORTLAND, a ship in which he felt at home. It was the first of several lucky breaks for our future.

ATLANTA was sunk off Savo Island four months later!

Task Force 16, commanded by RAdm. Thomas Kincaid '08, was formed around

carrier ENTERPRISE, the flagship, and included USS NORTH CAROLINA, first of the fast battleships to appear in the Pacific.

Until early in November our boss served as second-in-command of the force, and in command of assigned cruisers. In midJuly we sailed south and joined the Guadalcanal Assault Force, rehearsing for the first Pacific offensive operation in the Fiji Island area. Our force and two similar units, built around carriers SARATOGA and WASP, provided air support for the landings at Guadalcanal and Tulagi oil 7 August and over the next three weeks. The first night surface action off Guadalcanal, the Battle of Savo Island, found us well south of the area heading for a fueling rendevous and eluding suspected enemy submarines. The initial word of this battle, in which cruisers ASTORLA., QUINCY, and VINCENNES were lost and CHICAGO badly damaged, reached us through a "scuttlebutt" circuit. AS we refueled from oiler SABINE, our flag signal chief received a hand-semaphore from a former shipmate on her bridge, who in turn had talked by hand to "a friend" on flagship SARATOGA, refueled earlier. We couldn't believe such news, although we knew there had been intense fighting from intercepted plain language messages during the battle. An official highly classified message from South Pacific Headquarters shortly confirmed the signalman's information. The name "Ironbottom Bay" had been born, at terrible cost.

Our first action came on August 24th in the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, when ENTERPRISE was the target of squadrons from the enemy carriers, SHOKAKU and ZUIKAKU. AS a participant in two earlier carrier battles, the Coral Sea and Midway, where YORKTOWN was the center of Japanese attentions, there was a certain feeling of security in my battle station on PORTLAND'S signal bridge. Our cruiser was completely overlooked by the Aichi dive bombers coming in and out of the sun. There was 19

and SALT LAKE CITY in another ferocious

operating with carrier HORNET since arriving in the area in late September. The admiral moved into Captain's country, and the staff were sandwiched in various wardroom spaces. I was glad to find a lower in a "boy's town", a six-space J.O. bunkroom converted from a double cabin at the outbreak of war. We were on board for several weeks, the first of which was spent putting the Marine Raiders ashore at Aola Bay, on the west end of Guadalcanal. The landing was unopposed and, once Col. Carlson's troops were established ashore, we withdrew with the transports. The raiders plunged into the jungle and in a classic overland march, attacked the Japanese lines from the rear, leaving a trail of death and bringing in many prisoners.

We spent one night patrolling in Iron Bottom Bay before unloading was completed. Two cruisers appeared to our north and were immediately identified as "skunks". Initial attempts at identification failed, and in the still night I could hear the order to PENSACOLA'S four eightinch turrets, "load". The range kept closing, but in the nick of time the proper identification was received. A disastrous friendly shootout with cruisers SAN FRANCISCO and HELENA supporting a landing to our east, had been narrowly avoided.

night slugging match.

By late October, Task Force 16 had reformed, joining Task Force 18, built around carrier HORNET, well to the east of Guadalcanal. Admiral Kincaid's command now included the new battleship SOUTH DAKOTA as replacement for NORTH CAROLINA, recently hit by a submarine-launched torpedo and en route back to Pearl Harbor. Cruiser SAN JUAN had taken ATLANTA'S place, the latter now in another force escorting convoys to Guadalcanal. Admiral "Bill" Halsey '04 had taken command of the South Pacific area, and intelligence forecast another major move by the Japanese to drive the U.S. force from Guadalcanal.

PORTLAND rejoined the ENTERPRISE group after a brief stop at Espiritu Santo, designed "Button" Base. It was our first glimpse of a SOP AC base, but only looking shoreward. Word was out that an Officers' Club had already been built ashore by the SeaBees. Later we corrborated this rumor and were able to sample rations of "Black Death" and Primo beer.

The Batfle of Santa Cruz on 26-27 October was for PORTLAND similar in most ways to the Eastern Solomons. Once again air groups from SHOKAKU and ZuncAKU attacked ENTERPRISE, although

PENSACOLA stayed in Espiritu Santo for a few days, followed by a return to sea with orders to join RAdm. Dan Callaghan's Cruiser Group in support of a major reinforcement of Guadalcanal. A similar move by the enemy was anticipated. En route north we received another set of orders sending us south to meet our old Task Force 16, coming north with the partially repaired ENTERPRISE. During the two night actions of 13 and 15 November in Iron Bottom Bay, we were again with ENTERPRISE as her planes flew support missions over Guadalcanal. Admiral CaUaghan '11 and his second in command RAdm. Norman Scott ' 11 were lost in the bloody night battle of 13th. Cruisers ATLANTA and JUNEAU were sunk, while flagship SAN FRANCISCO and our old standby, PORTLAND, were heavily damaged. Two nights later RAdm. Willis ("Chink") Lee '08 took the fast battleships WASHINGTON and SOUTH DAKOTA into the Iron Bottom Bay area and turned back the enemy, but SOUTH DAKOTA received major damage and three out of four destroyers were lost. According to historians these two costly battles marked the turning point of the Guadalcanal campaign, but not for PENSACOLA and our staff.

opportunity to observe NORTH CAROLINA in her first action, her large battery of antiaircraft guns literally reaching out and slapping down several Jap planes that by-passed the carrier. There was also a chance to watch the split-second maneuvering of the screen, including PORTLAND, as they followed the carrier's radical maneuvering. Captain Laurence DuBose '13, flagship skipper, did a superb job.

ENTERPRISE suffered damage in the battle, and PORTLAND, with staff embarked, returned north with the carrier for repairs in Pearl Harbor. On our return to the South Pacific ahead of the carrier we conducted an abortive raid on Tarawa, a small atoll suspected of being a Japanese seaplane base. We found no seaplanes and withdrew after a brief bombardment, when Jap landbased bombers were reported coming south from the Marshalls. While we had been absent from the South Pacific, smaU U.S. reinforcements had reached Guadalcanal and our Marines were still holding on.

Japanese reinforcements were also arriving, and the second major action in Ironbottom Bay had occurred on 12 October, the Battle of Cape Esperance. Reports of this action brought more confidence, despite serious damage to cruisers BOISE

an overcast sky hindered our defensive gunnery and higher seas made maneuvering more difficult. PORTLAND received two torpedo hits, both fortunately duds.

SOUTH DAKOTA took a bomb hit on Turret Two, and a bomb knocked out the forward elevator in ENTERPRISE, seriously impeding flight operations. HORNET, operating within visual range, had already sufferred damage when she was the target of the final Jap air attack, which left her immobile and burning. She was abandoned and sunk that night. My most vivid memory of the battle was the veteran destroyer SMITH being hit by a Japanese "Kate", kamikaze-style on the forecastle. A blazing inferno forward.

SMITH quickly swerved into the high wake of SOUTH DAKOTA, ploughing through a

wall of water that doused most of the flames. It was a fantastic bit of shiphandUng by Bobby Theobald.

USS SMITH fights on

Two days later we reached Noumea, where Admiral Halsey flew his flag in repair ship, ARGONNE. Force maintenance experts came on board to inspect our flagship, and I accompanied Admiral Tisdale to call on the new area commander. We wore ties and khaki blouses.

I sported a set of aiguillettes for the first and only time. "BiU" Halsey indicated we should be more relaxed, no ties in his area! We were also told that he had a mission for us, with orders coming over before noon.

The orders came promptly, including a directive to find another flagship, and to escort transports carrying the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion to the Guadalcanal area.

PORTLAND would require some repairs, probably drydocking. We moved on board PENSACOLA that afternoon and were underway by dusk. Any Uberty in the French city of Noumea would have to wait.

PENSACOLA, first of the 10,000 ton cruisers, had less room and older radar equipment than PORTLANP. She had been

Shipmate, December 1982

In Noumea Admiral Halsey reorganized his dwindUng number of operational ships, while preparing to integrate new units already en route from both West and East coasts of the United States. PENSACOLA returned to Espiritu Santo to become part of the Surface Striking Force under command of Admiral Kincaid, who had turned his Task Force 16 over to RAdm. Frederick Sherman '10, an aviator. Light cruiser HONOLULU arrived shortly thereafter, and we moved on board a ship fitted with the very important SG surface search radar as weU as flag facilities. Kincaid, with a makeshift force of five cruisers and four destroyers, laid plans for intercepting future Japanese reinforcement units heading for Guadalcanal. Before he had a chance to sign the operation order, a dispatch from Admiral King in Washington sent him homeward to take command of Naval Forces in the North Pacific.

RAdm. Carleton Wright in heavy cruiser MINNEAPOLIS eurived to take over the Surface Striking Force. Wright held a meeting of his captains on 29 November and that night, in reaction to a patrol plane contact report, our newly formed force was underway for Guadalcanal. We reached Iron Bottom bay twenty-four hours later, four destroyers in the van, five cruisers with HONOLULU fourth in column, two more destroyers astern. We were executing Kincaid's operation order with newcomer Wright in charge. Our opponent, thought to be a Japanese cruiser group, turned out to be the redoubtable Tokio Express leader. Rear Admiral Tanaka with a force of eight destroyers.

Tassaforanga is a dim memory after forty years, an unparalleled symphony of noise and Ughts from my signal bridge post when HONOLULU'S fifteen six-inch and four five-inch opened a rapid fire broadside to port. What news I could relay to the admiral and his small flagplot team was grim. First, flagship MINNEAPOLIS, then her sistership NEW ORLEANS were hit by torpedoes forward, each losing their bows and veering off to the north. The thinly protected PENSACOLA just ahead of us caught a torpedo amidships, and became a blazing silhouette of tripod masts and antennae in the black night. HONOLULU, skillfully conned

by Capt. Bob Hayler '14 and his Officerof-the-Deck, George Davis '34, (later a Medal of Honor winning destroyer captain) threaded the Japanese torpedo spread as it reached our formation.

Astern there was more trouble as NORTHAMPTON received two torpedoes, lost all Shipmate, December 1982

power, and in a short time was abandoning ship. Our "treaty cruisers" of the 1930 period were no match for the 24" long range Japanese torpedoes.

HONOLULU was now flagship and for the

rest of the night, remained between the Japanese force, still of unknown strength, and our three damaged cruisers limping slowly towards Tulagi harbor to the northeast. The Japanese minus one destroyer, had skillfully retreated westward and then north towards Rabaul.

We remained in HONOLULU for another six weeks, returning south to Espiritu Santo where additional cruisers arrived and our Surface Striking Force was reformed. By chance at the time of the Battle of Tassaforanga RAdm. Walden Ainsworth '10, Commander Destroyers, Pacific Fleet, was in Noumea on an inspection visit. Admiral Halsey evidently had no difficulty in "shanghaung" this destroyer veteran as a replacement for Admiral Wright. In mid-December we went back to sea with a new Striking Force commanded by "Pug" Ainsworth.

He led the first division in cruiser NASHVILLE with ST. LOUIS and HELENA. Our boss led the second division, which included LOUISVILLE, the brand new COLUMBIA and the New Zealand light cruiser ACHILLES, veteran of the 1939 GRAF SPEE battle of the South Atlantic. More cruisers and other ships were on the way from the Atlantic and Halsey was making plans to push north from the Guadalcanal area early in 1943.

Our force led off on New Year's Day, escorting replacement Army troops for the valiant 1st Marine Division on Guadalcanal. We then pushed north to New Georgia where Ainsworth's force conducted a heavy night bombardment of Japanese installations on Munda. The next morning our division caught the Japanese reaction when a group of Aichi 99's dove out of the sun, spraying HONOLULU with near niisses and hitting ACHILLES astern.

This was our last action as a staff in HONOLULU. Admiral Tisdale was ordered to Pearl Harbor to take command of Pacific Fleet Destroyers, the post held by Ainsworth. Sugarman and I, as designated aides, accompanied him. In our last travels with "Tip" Tisdale we went from Espiritu via Efate to Noumea in destroyer FLETCHER of our Surface Striking Force. After a short visit in tender DIXIE where the Admiral officially hoisted his flag as ComDesPac, we began a four day flight to Pearl Harbor in a converted PBM seaplane bound for Alameda, California. Suva, Canton

Island, and Johnston Islands were stops between ten-hour daytime flights. En route I entertained visions after thirteen months in the Pacific of perhaps continuing on the last leg of the flight for a few days leave on the West Coast. Other passengers were continuing on from Hawaii. One of these was Captain R.H. ("Beagle") Smith, who in my Naval Academy days had been a duty officer assisting Commander Tisdale, and one well known to all midshipmen. He and my boss had a great reunion on the plane flights with Smith headed homeward after submarine duty in Western AustraUa. Most fortunately for me, the Admiral did not concur in my ideas about leave, and I disembarked at the Pan-Am terminal with him and Charlie Sugarman to start a brief tour on the DesPac staff.

Two days later I learned that our transpacific flight had crashed in the mountains back of San Francisco, overshooting her bay landing area.

My travels with "Tip" Tisdale were over. In early February, 1943 I returned homeward for thirty days leave and a new assignment. I saw and corresponded with Admiral Tisdale through the years until his death in 1972. During his tour as Commander Destroyers, Pacific Fleet, he was also given administrative command of the cruisers. His command then included our former flagships, repaired and back in the fighting as the Pacific war moved slowly but surely towards victory. He never forgot his old shipmates of those months of cruiser operations and action in the SoPac area. We had seen the turning point down there, at a grim cost of men and ships. We had served in three veteran ships, manned by over three thousand cruisermen. Our lot had been fortunate and on occasion just plain lucky.

Today, forty years later, a new guided missile frigate brings the name of "Tip" Tisdale back to the Pacific. May the USS MAHLON S. TISDALE (FFG-29) carry on his traditions and share in the good fortunes of his own career in the Navy and Fleet which he loved.

To Keep a Secret Three Cases When Everyone Did Just That Captain Brown Taylor, U S N (Ret.)

Suddenly, on 7 December 1941, at 0755 Honolulu, 1555 in Washington, 2155 in London, the modem world changed, never again to return to what was called normalcy, or somehow, to what use to be. A signalman in the Signal Tower high above Pearl Harbor at that moment called below on the telephone to the CinCPac Headquarters: "Enemy Air Raid — Not Drill". Three minutes later at 0758, Admiral Lynch BeUinger, on duty at North Island in the center of Pearl Harbor, sent the message, addressed to all U.S. Forces, worldwide, that shook the World — "Air Raid Pearl Harbor — This is not DriU". For the United States, World War II had commenced; the North Atlantic preliminaries were over and the main event was on.

AU mUitary and State Department officers sensed instantly that the Japanese had attacked the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor and the airfields nearby, but the vast extent of the success of the Japanese surprise attack was still unknown. Was the whole fleet at Pearl?

Most of it was there, with not much left. That evening a press conference was held in Washington. A tight censorship had been clamped down by the miUtary and civiUan authorities in Hawaii immediately, and after the initial attacks no direct news was released from the Islands. U.S. military striking power in the Pacific, except for Halsey's carrier task group at sea for reinforcement of the garrison at Wake Island and scattered aircraft and submarines at sea, essentially had been destroyed. That evening in Washington, at President Roosevelt's direction, the leaders of the various sections of the United States press were given a rather full, factual briefing of what was known of the extent of the damage done to the United States that morning. The community of the Press, taken into the confidence of the President, was requested to keep the extent of the damage confidential to themselves.

22

temporarily. The next day, reports of the attack, without details, appeared in the press of the nation. Only the Chicago Tribune felt obliged to "inform the public" of the full extent of the disastrous attack and of the real damage to the United States' miUtary power. Much of the U.S. press thereupon pooh-poohed the factual Chicago story as the usual sensational reporting of that paper's style at the time. It was only two weeks later, when the President had commenced to gird the loins of the nation, that the real extent of the blow was made pubUc officially.

As soon as the initial surprised shock of the blow had been absorbed in Washington, it was decided that somehow we must make a gesture to show the Japanese that we were not finished, after aU, in the Pacific. A daring raid on Tokyo was planned, the only one to take place until nearly three years later, but well remembered in the interim by the people of the great city. This raid was recommended at a meeting of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington in late January 1942. There were present: Adm. William D. Leahy in the Chair as Chief of Staff

to the President; Gen. George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff of the Army and Gen. Henry H. Arnold, Commanding General of the Army Air Forces, with Gen. " P u g " Ismay observing as Representative at Washington for the Prime Minister of Great Britain.

After much talking, it was decided that a combined Navy-Army Air Corps raid would be made on Tokyo as soon £is practicable as a warning to the Empire of things to come. At the time, the U.S. had but five attack aircraft carriers operational in the Pacific to match Japan's much Icirger and battle hardened carrier forces. The U.S. Pacific surface Battle Fleet was all but immobilized by the 7 December attack. The Army Air Corps in the Pacific as weU, had been destroyed by attacks about Hawaii simultaneously with Pearl Harbor and those made on air fields in the PhiUppines. To strike Tokyo or not? President Roosevelt approved the recommendation of the Joint Chiefs that the raid be undertaken. The die was cast.

The then LCol. (later General) James H. (Jimmy) Doolittle and a picked group of Army Air Corps pilots were ordered

B-25 taking off for Tokyo from USS HORNET

Shipmate, December 1982

to a secret airfield in Florida to be trained to launch from an aircraft carrier.

One of the senior Navy pilot instructors for the froup was Lt. (later Rear Admiral) Henry S. (Hank) MiUer. The Task Group commander for the operation would be RAdm. William F. (Bill) Halsey, yet uninformed of his assignment.

Sitting in the room with the Joint Chiefs of Staff that morning as recorder was Capt. (later Admiral) Donald B. (Woo) Duncan. With President Roosevelt's approval, Duncan was directed to copy in his own longhand the approved directive of the Joint Chiefs to Halsey.

Duncan was ordered to proceed overland by train to San Francisco with the copy in his pocket. Halsey, meanwhile, had been directed to proceed to San Francisco with his Task Group for refit of his ships and rest and recreation for his heavily overworked air groups and ship's companies. While the carriers were dockside in San Francisco, sixteen Army Air Corps B-25 bombers were hoisted on board.

Duncan, an expert in carrier aircraft operations, boarded also, theoretically as an observer for the state of training of the embarked air groups.

When the ships had cleared port, Duncan deUvered to Halsey his "sealed orders", clarifying to him that the odd contingent of B-25s on board was not an emergency replacement for planes destroyed in Hawaii, but was destined to make greater history. Admiral Nimitz, commanding the Pacific, would be informed when they arrived at Pearl. It was only after a brief stop at Pearl Harbor, with the Task Group headed for the Western Pacific and. Japan, that the electrifying news of the ^signment was broadcast to all hands in the Task Group. In passing, one might note what a galaxy of future stars Halsey had at his disposal. Besides the superb Army Air Corps airmen who would make the strike on Tokyo, with DooUttle flying the lead plane, there were present: Capt. Marc Mitscher in command of Halsey's flag carrier, RAdm. Raymond Spruance commanding the cruisers, and Clapt. Richard L. ConoUy commanding the destroyer screen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all four to wear four stars in due time.

The raid was a success; all sixteen bombers completed the mission of 18 April 1942, over Tokyo. The physical damage done was relatively small, but the Japanese never again in the coming threeand-a-half years of war felt quite secure in the home islands, and Japanese deployments against the advancing allies Shipmate, December 1982

USS AUGUSTA off the Normandy beachhead

were indeed affected adversely from that minute on. Surprise, guaranteed by secrecy, was the all-important factor.

Seven months later, on 8 November 1942, the initial landings were made at Casablanca in North Africa by America's untried, untested Expeditionary Force under the overall command of LGen. Dwight D. Eisenhovver, with MGen. George Patton commanding the West African army group. Again there was a fuU pre-briefing of the Press, such as had been undertaken following the Pearl Harbor attack. Undoubtedly, the French, worried and wondering which way to turn, hopefully toward their old friends, must have suspected, but nothing appeared from the Fourth Estate. When Admiral Ken Hewitt, commanding U.S. Naval Forces, appeared at the headquarters of French Admiral Michilier at Casablanca, following the Armistice made after initial hard fighting, a bit of gallic humor was evident. Two 16" American shells, fired from our battleship bombardment group, which somehow did not explode upon landing at the naval base at Casablanca, were flanking the entrance of the Headquarters door to remind Admiral Hewitt, "Well, here we are, stiU intact." The North African operation was a success, and was indeed the "Torch" which first lighted the path that would end at Berlin in the spring of 1945 three years later. Here was another tribute to secrecy.

Then we came to the greatest of all modern military operations, "NeptuneOverlord", the landings in Normandy on 6 June 1944. We know that the German commanders, Rommel of the "Atlantic Wall" and Rundstedt in over-all command in the West, were being briefed hour by hour, as was Hitler at Berlin, by the best intelligence analysts of Germany as to what the Allies were up to in Bri-

tain. Where would the landing attempt be? Across the Straits of Dover toward Calais and the beaches of Flanders and Artois? Logical, doubly so in view of the vast Allied air and naval bombardment preparations which had continued for days in that area. A great "phantom" army had been maneuvering about Dover across the Channel for the past month.

But Red Beach was in fact to be over the supposedly impregnable beaches of Normandy, while Germany's main strength had meanwhile been deployed to the north, centered on the area of Calais. An immense fake invasion fleet approached those northern beaches during the night of 5-6 June as the real attack was creeping toward Normandy. Many hundreds of dedicated men and women had to know this plan. Can anyone estimate the number of lives saved by this secret kept?

And in an "undeclared war", that of Korea, somehow the secret was kept when General MacArthur planned and lead the successful amphibious attack on Inchon, some 400 miles behind enemy lines, in January of 1950.

Today, what is a secret in these great United States? It seems that none are ever kept.

"A secret's safe 'twixt you, me, and the gatepost."

The Naval Aviation Museum And Its Foundation Vice Admiral

Malcolm

W. Cagle USN (Ret.)

The U.S. Naval Aviation Museum at NAS Pensacola is unique as the only museum in the nation which portrays exclusively the heritage of naval aviation.

Only aircraft and helicopters of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard are displayed. Supporting naval air equipment, ships, art and the all-important personnel history and memorabilia round out this aU-naval air museum.

There are other museums in this country and abroad which exhibit some U.S. naval aircraft — the Smithsonian, for example — as well as private museums such as USS YORKTOWN at Charleston SC and the developing USS INTREPID Association in New York City. But such museums also exhibit foreign or other service aircraft and often include commerical aircraft, recruiting exhibits and civic displays. Moreover, the private museums charge admission. The U.S. Naval Aviation Museum is free to all and, except for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Days, is open every day of the year from 0900 to 1700.

In like manner, the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation, which built, equipped and donated the Museum to the Navy, is also unique. The Foundation obtained a tax exempt charter in 1966 and has since soUcited contributions to pay for the $3,500,000 Museum as it now stands. The Foundation has built and equipped the Museum without ever borrowing money, going into debt, or paying loan interest; it is self-supporting for operational expenses by sales from its Museum store, bookstore, and by selling items from its store at a few Blue Angels air shows around the country.

The Naval Aviation Museum has an inventory of 86 aircraft, all of which are displayed on a rotational basis with approximately 50 on display at a time. The remainder are in storage at the Naval Air Station awaiting completion of additional 24

exhibit space. Among the most famous aircraft on display are: — NC-4, first aircraft to fly the Atlantic, in 1919, — QUE SERA SERA, first aircraft to

land at the South Pole, — TRUCULENT TURTLE, holder of distance record for twin engine, piston driven, aircraft — flew from Perth, Australia, to Columbus, Ohio, and — World War I Jenny, prominent trainer of the World War I era.

There are a few naval aircraft which are not in inventory, and which may never be, since none are known to be available at this time: The TBD (all lost at the Battle of Midway), F9C "Sparrow Hawk" (only one is known to exist, at Smithsonian), F4B1, 2, 3 or 4 (several exist but are not available), F2A "Buffalo", F2F and F3F. Other missing aircraft are known to exist and are being sought but have not yet been available. A PBM is known to be recoverable from 30' of fresh water in Lake Washington, Seattle, and negotiations are underway to obtain a PB4Y-1 and PB4Y-2, N2C Fledgling, N2T Timm, and SNV Vibrator.

The people who foresaw the need to preserve the history and heritage of naval aviation and who worked diligently to establish the Naval Aviation Museum were many. Adm. Arthur W. Radford must lead the list, and not far behind, VAdm. Robert B. Pirie. RAdm. John J. Bergen was a major force, so were VAdm. Austin K Doyle, RAdm. Magruder H. Tuttle and VAdm. Bernard M. Strean. The large and loyal suppliers of naval aircraft, engines, systems and equipment have made generous contributions, led by Grumman Aerospace Corporation, McDonnell Douglas, United Technologies, General Electric, Lockheed Aircraft Corporation and RockweU International, to name a few. The residents and businesses of Pensacola have given

more than $150,000, and the State of Florida provided $500,000 toward the construction of Stage II. And thousands of individuals, many whose background was in or associated with naval air, have given generously to create this Museum.

The active membership of the Museum Foundation now stands at 4,200.

The Naval Aviation Museum has several exhibits and displays in addition to the aircraft. The aircrafts engine exhibit is one of a kind, with more than 50 engines on display, from the earliest 1909 vintage Wright engine used in the Curtiss Bl to the Pratt & Whitney X401 engine flown in the prototype of the F-14 Tomcat. There is an aircraft carrier section, a naval aviation combat art exhibit, an extensive collection of high quality model aircraft, and the space capsule in which the first crew of three naval aviators traveled to and from Skylab. There is a 100-seat movie theater which has a continuous show program during the season of heavy tourist visitation. The prestigious Hall of Honor, completed and dedicated on 13 October 1981, recognizes twelve early pioneers of naval aviation.

Six more have been selected for 1982 enshrinement, with four to follow per year in the succeeding years.

Several other exhibits are in advanced stages of planning and development. A section of one new wing is now reserved for U.S. Coast Guard aviation. Another section is set aside for lighter-than-air aircraft. As additional space is built, such exhibits as naval air explorations, reconnaissance, ASW, communications, electronic warfare, bombs, weapons and missiles, a technical and research library, a section for flight surgeons, naval air intelligence, training of foreign nationals, and many others are under consideration.

One exhibit, just begun, is a local Pensacola section to remind visitors that Pensacola is the mother-in-law of naval aviation.

Shipmate, December 1982

The Foundation publishes a high quality magazine, Foundation, twice a year.

A newsletter is also published twice a year. Both are mailed without charge to current members of the Foundation.

The Naval Aviation Museum was designed by the famous New York architect, Mr. Paul Chen. At the request of Admirals Radford and Pirie, Mr. Chen's design was such that the Museum could be built incrementally in five stages, each stage complete in itself, but blending harmoniously and efficiently with existing parts. Mr. Chen's masterful design thus permitted cash financing, and also took advantage of the Pensacola climate — skylights, for example, and air conditioning towers. His design also made the most of a splendid 30 acre setting — adjacent to Forrest Sherman airfield, in sight of Pensacola Bay, where naval aviation really began, and adjacent to the Famous Fort Barrancas and the old lighthouse, now part of a U.S. Park Service controlled area. Visitors to the Museum can conveniently visit these historic sites as well as the Museum itself. Approximately 250,(XX) people per year have visited the Museum since its dedication in 1975.

In addition to being a prime tourist attraction in Florida and the southeast United States, the Museum serves the pubUc and the Navy in several other ways. Civic groups often hold lectures, meetings, catered breakfasts and parties in a mezzanine area. Moreover, a sizable number of naval aviation organizations — Silver Eagles, Golden Eagles, Pterodactyls (U.S. Coast Guard retired aviators), Lighter-than-Air, Naval Cadets — use the Museum facilities for group, ship and squadron reunions. This activity increases every year. If your organization would care to hold its reunion at the Naval Aviation Museum, contact Captain Grover C. Walker USN (Ret.), Director, Naval Aviation Museum, NAS Pensacola, FL 32508 (Phone (904) 452-3604), for detaUs. The Museum is also used for many official functions — change of command ceremonies, winging ceremonies and retirements, and all agree that no more interesting and inspiring location for such events can be found anywhere.

The Naval Aviation Museum is part of the naval establishment as a unit of the Naval Air Training Command, and its Director, Captain Walker, is a GS-14 reporting directly to the Chief of Naval Air Training.

The Foundation is presently headed by Adm. Thomas H. Mooter, former ChairShipmate, December 1982

man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The President is Adm. Maurice F. Weisner, a Pensacola resident. The head of the Financial and Investment Subcommittee is RAdm. States M. Mead USNR (Ret.), Vice President and Director of Management Consulting Services International, Chase Manhattan Bank, New York City, who has served as financial advisor for over 10 years. The staff of the Foundation is led by VAdm. M. W. Cagle, Executive Director, with RAdm. W. H. McLaughlin, Jr. as Vice President for Corporate and Deferred Giving, Capt.

Ray Hawkins, well remembered as one of the Navy's top fighter Aces and as a former leader of the Blue Angels, as Secretary/Treasurer. Capt. John Paul Adams runs the Bookstore and Mrs. Joan Walker runs the Sales Store. Mr. John Murray, a retired Chief Petty Of-

ficer, long associated with naval air, is Administrative Assistant.

Thus, a small six-man staff supervises Foundation operations, solicitation and deferred giving programs, air shows, golf tournaments, publications and expansion programs from the two offices in the Museum itself. Foundation offices are open five days a week and visitors are welcome. Foundation books and records are always open and contain a very favorable report on the just completed 1981 aduit by the private audit firm of Robert A. Benz & Co. For those who were in, or associated in any way with naval aviation, a visit to the Naval Aviation Museum is a moving and memorable experience.

Shipmate Book Selection AMERICA'S NAVY: NOW AND A CENTURY AGO A Calendar for 1983 Spiral bound with ample space for daily notes and reminders, the Naval Institute's calendar for 1983 provides, through a series of paired photographs, comparisons between the Navy of the 1880's and the 1980s. Featured are the people of the navies of a century apart, the ships, and the institutions. The photos show the similarities but also the very different ways of life, advances in weapons over a century, and contrasting styles of uniforms. It strikingly compares a Navy just beginning to emerge from its post-Civil War doldrums to a post-Vietnam Navy confident of its ability to meet the challenges of a tumultuous new world.

Lucky Bag of Books The Battle for Guadalcanal, by BGen. Samuel B. Griffith II USMC (Ret.). Second edition. The Nautical & Aviation Publishing Co., Annapolis MD 1979. 282 pages, illustrated, $16.95. Paperback by Bantam Books 1980, $2.50.

Fortunately for readers who learn from miUtary history, there is a long and impressive literary tradition of participant historians. Xenophon's Anabasis, Caesar's Gallic Wars, Grant's Civil War mem.oirs, Eisenhower's Crusade in Europe, and others all hold out to the reader a reasonable hope of realism in history. When the historian is a distinguished military professional, a distinguished scholar and accomplished styUst, and has probed at length with participants from both sides, there is perception and judgement in a well-rounded presentation, in contrast to the one-dimensional view of so many participant chroniclers.

These talents, appUed to an exceptional if not unique campaign, offer a rare "good read" to scholars, military buffs, and students of the profession.

Guadalcanal marked the high water mark of four decades of Japanese conquests, the point from which the Japanese were driven out of their empire and back into their home islands. The campaign was, therefore, of unique emotional, psychological and moral importance to both sides; the first time in this century that Japan's public was shown, and the rest of the world could observe, that the Japanese military was not invincible — an impression that had been created by the record. Between 1905 and mid-1942, Japan had met and decisively defeated all comers: Russia, China, France, the Netherlands, Great Britain, and major U.S. forces, not to mention their conquest of German Tsingtao and Pacific Islands in World War I. Against that background, within the framework of a "Europe first" strategy, Griffith leads us through the mid-1942 Washington debate over whether or not to launch a most risky counteroffensive in the far Pacific, and the lack of understanding in Tokyo that such an effort was even a U.S. capability. His book weaves the arguments, attitudes, doubts, assumptions, and determinations into an illuminated tapestry of military personalities, character, resource Umitations, the tyranny of time, of opportunities seized Shipmate, December 1982

and risks accepted. As is made clear, the conception of the campaign was so chancy as its execution proved to be.

Few military histories known to this reviewer carry more pertinent and fascinating case study materials on the complex ingredients of military planning and battle execution; command responsibilities, failures and successes; command in joint operations (right way and wrong); reconnaissance; and planning multi-environmental forces and operations — many with terse professional judgements on the side.

Few soldier scholars have shown more ability to portray in a single book all the essential structure of a campaign, to flesh that out with human experiences, and to show the interactions of opposing national values and cultures, of service doctrines, of personal character, courage and weakness, and of calculation and fortune.

This holds no surprise, for scholar Griffith wears honors as a Chinese linguist and the translator of Sun Tzu and Mao, holds a doctorate from Oxford, and is author of the best one-volume miUtary/ political history of the American Revolution. Marine Griffith built a fine service reputation commanding every infantry formation below division, and was a much sought-after staff officer at force and theatre levels. On Guadalcanal, LCol. Griffith served Merritt Edson as Executive Officer, then succeeded him as commander of the 1st Raider Battalion, which played the most crucial role of any U.S. battalion in the campaign.

The long, seesaw campaign on, over, and around Guadalcanal had a quality largely missing from later campaigns — the realization and dread that this one might very well be lost. He reminds that in Washington, President Roosevelt tried to prepare the public for bad news and Admiral King admitted that the Navy was "in a bad way at this particular moment." At Pearl Harbor, the Army's Pacific Air Commander categorically told Gen. Hap Arnold that Guadalcanal could not be held. In Australia, MacArthur provided a gloomy appraisal of the situation. Griffith shows us how these intangibles had such tangible impact on the developing situation and on decisions for other theatres, and how General Vandegrift, responsible on the scene, maintained confidence and morale within his command.

On the opposing side, the author analyzes how and why the Japanese Navy partially concealed the scale of its defeat at Midway and the effect that deception had on later decisions; for example, the puzzUng (at least to those of us on the scene) decision to send a single Japanese battalion — albeit an excellent one — to evict the 1st Marine Division from Guadalcanal. He offers us penetrating insights into the difficulties, successes, and failures of commanding joint forces on a four dimensional (sea, land, air, undersea) stage; of the Japanese general who chose barges rather than fast DDs as troop transports and so fell victim to the daytime dominance of Marine aviation over the Slot; of the Marine general who prevailed upon U.S. destroyers to carry Marine reconnaissance groups on a mission that fatally exposed our ships to the Japanese Navy's night-time domination of the Slot; of a U.S. admiral who wanted to reorganize and divert vital troop reinforcements to non-critical nearby islands; of Japanese submarines that missed the opportunity to attack U.S. transports carrying troop reinforcements; and of a Japanese admiral who scored a stunning tactical victory after the initial U.S. landings, then turned away from the much greater strategic victory open to him by destroying the supplies and heavy equipment stiU loaded in the transports his tactical victory had uncovered.

These and many other fascinating case studies are sufficient to occupy major attention from a staff college, but the military professional and lay reader alike may formulate his own curriculum by close reading of this engrossing and instructional history of a key campaign.

Defense Money and Pay Bills Left for Post-Election Action Congress quit 1 October without passing a military pay bill or a Defense appropriation biU. But it will be back 29 November on orders from President Reagan to finish the appropriation bills.

Undoubtedly a pay bill — already passed by the House and reported to the Senate — also will be enacted. Congress had riot planned to return. It prepared a general continuing resolution to keep the government operating from the 1 October 1982 beginning of fiscal year 1983 until 28 February 1983, but Mr. Reagan insisted on specific appropriation bills. So the continuing resolution, H.J. Res. 599 as finally enacted expires 17 December 1982 which is about the time the 97th Congress hopes finally to adjourn.

Since there was no separate service pay law, the still-active Rivers Act assured service people the 4% from 1 October which civilian employees got, and which is what the pay bills are to provide. And a clause in the continuing resolution extended bonuses — except aviation officers' continuation pay, which the Senate specifically excluded — beyond their 30 September expiration date. Another clause in H.J. Res. 599 holds variable housing allowances down by requiring them to be based on the assumption that basic allowance for quarters was increased by 8% on 1 October. Another clause prohibits any phase down of the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service.

Clauses relating to military construction were outdated almost as they were written because the military coristruction and authorization bills cleared Congress by 1 October, and the continuing resolution ceases to apply to any agency or activity once it gets its appropriation.

StUI another clause forbids production of the M-X missile and the second nuclear carrier. But the two carriers in the authorization act (PL 97-252 of 8 September 1982) are funded in the Senate Appropriations Committee's version of the Defense appropriation bill, S. 2951, which it reported 23 September. The House must originate money bills so, as soon as it passes its version of the Defense appropriation bill, S. 2951 will go to the inter-chamber conference as the 28

Senate version. If House Appropriations does not approve the two-carrier purchase, expect an attempt to add it on the House floor or, if that fails, in the conference.

Military pay had a rocky road in both chambers. H.R. 6317, which had been before the House since Armed Services reported it 17 May, finally was brought up 20 September under suspension of the rules, which limits debate and forbids amendments but requires two-thirds votes for passage. Opposition to the bill's ban on contracting-out and to the vagueness of allowing a raise of up to 8% combined to produce 186 nays to 214 ayes.

With 400 thus voting, 267 ayes were needed. On 29 September, House Armed Services tried again, bringing up on suspension of the rules, H.R. 7166, which was H.R. 6317, except for a definite 4<Vo across-the-board increase and leaving it to SecDef to determine what activities can be contracted out, provided he first studies the impact of contracting-out on performance of the defense mission.

H.R. 7166 passed on an obvious twothirds voice vote.

Meanwhile Senate Armed Services reported its pay bill, S. 2936, on 21 September.

Like H.R. 6317/7166, the Senate biU has many provisions, including an easing on the flag officer ceiling and creating more Assistant Secretaries of Defense.

For pay, it provides 4% across the board except for E-ls, who thus have benefited, at least for several months, by failure of the bill to pass. Pass, it did not. One of several reasons Senators blocked action was the hope of some — and the fear of others — that a G.I. Bill would be added.

So Congress quit in the early hours of 2 October without a pay bill, but with the effects of a 4% raise and temporary life for all but one expiring bonus. But it put into the report on the continuing resolution this ominous declaration: Defense should structure its FY '83 military and civilian pay allocations to absorb at least 25% of the raise.

This column defers until next month discussion of the many provisions of the Defense appropriation bill reported to the Senate because of the volume of other news and the likelihood that many provisions will be changed on the floor or by the House. Two general observations, however: (1) Ahhough there were cuts

along the line, including denial of planned manpower increases, to trim the budget by $12 billion (Navy alone by $3-plus biUion) to $233.4 billion, there was a nearly $28 billion increase over '82 and most authorized ships, planes and, weapons survived; and (2) most allowance increases were denied, including requested increases in mileage, household goods limits and temporary lodging.

House Votes Major Changes In Organization of JCS With little debate and despite a Defense request for time to make its own recommendations, the House passed a bill, H.R. 6954, overhauUng the Joint Chiefs of Staff organization. The bill was developed by House Armed Services' Investigations Subcommittee after hearings during which more than 40 present and former high miUtary officials, including all the present Chiefs, offered a variety of recommendations. Retiring JCS Chairman, Gen. David Jones, USAF, had urged more power for the chairman. The new Chairman, Army Gen. John W. Vessey, Jr., had promised that the JCS's views on how they should operate would be in the Secretary of Defense's hands by 1 October, adding that the JCS were going to adopt some of the legislative proposals, particularly insuring that dissents of any JCS member reach SecDef and the President. John Tower has promised the Senate that the Armed Services Committee which he chairs will hold hearings on the reorganization.

As passed by the House, H.R. 6954: — Expands power of the JCS Chairman. He could give advice to the President and Defense Secretary in his own right, could appoint the Joint Staff from lists submitted by the services and would evaluate all recommendations for promotion to three — and four-star grades of officers who have served on the Joint Staff. The Joint Chiefs as a whole now appoint the Joint Staff. The bill insures that the Chiefs can bring their individual dissents to the attention of President or SecDef. Thus the bill departs from the concept of a JCS consensus in each recommendation.

— Creates a Deputy Chairman, of a service different from the Chairman, to sit in on JCS meetings but to vote only Shipmate, December 1982

when the Chairman is absent. At present, chiefs of the individual services preside during the frequent absences of the Chairman.

— Provides longer tours for the 400-member Joint Staff. The initial three years could be extended to six by SecDef and up to 100 (instead of the present 30) could be former members recalled within three years. SecDef and the Chairman shall insure that service promotion, retention and assignment policies "give appropriate consideration to the performance of an officer as a member of the Joint Staff."

— Allows commanders of unified and specified commands, and chiefs of services, to comment on any Joint Staff proposals before it is submitted to the Joint Chiefs.

— Creates a "Senior Strategy Advisory Board" of ten retired JCS members or retired commanders of unified commands. The board, serving five-year staggered terms and meeting at least monthly (receiving per diem and travel expenses but no extra pay) would "provide such advice and recommendation on matters of military strategy and tactics as it considers appropriate" to the President, SecDef and the JCS.

Navy to Transfer Twelve Ships Two bills allowing 12 Navy ships to be disposed of have sped through Congress.

H.R. 7115 authorizes the sale of ARD 24, an auxiliary repair dry dock, to Ecuador and the lease of eight other ships. TACOMA ( P G - 9 2 ) and WELCH (PG-93) of the ASHEVILLE patrol combatant class would go to Colombia; PTFs-23, 24 and 26 of the OSPREY fast patrol boat class would go to the Dominican Republic; USS EVERGLADES (AD-24) would go to Pakistan and PIEDMONT (AD-17) to Turkey, and the JAMES M .

GiLLis (AGOR-4), oceanographic research ship, would go to Mexico.

The other bUl, H.R. 4828, allows transport GENERAL NELSON M . WALKER and landing ships dock COLONIAL and DONNER to be given to an organization

known as Life International for humanitarian work with developing nations.

Before the House Armed Services and Judiciary Committees processed H.R. 7115, Congress learned that the Charleston-based destroyer CONE was going to be transferred to Pakistan without a replacement to accommodate her Naval Reserve crew. So a bUI, H.R. 6547, was introduced to bar the transfer. Learning of other pending transfers, the House added to the Defense authorization bill a ban on any ship transfers without specific Congressional approval, and the Armed Services Committee thereupon tabled the CONE bill. The final version of the Shipmate, December 1982

authorization omitted the ban but the conference report asked that CONE and any other ships in the fleet not be transferred until replacements are provided.

Hospitals for Retirees, Mids A bill requiring a hospital at the Naval Academy and requiring local retiree needs to be taken into consideraton in new military hospital construction was sped through Congress without even a Senate Armed Services Committee report. As reported by House Armed Services and passed by the House and Senate, H.R. 3278 caUs for weighing relative in-patient costs against soaring CHAMPUS costs when planning hospitals and envisions a return to more care in service facilities.

This bill was shepherded through both houses by Rep. Marjorie Holt (R-Md.).

Without the new law, future service hospitals will be smaller than the facilities they replace because of smaller active force strengths and shorter hospital stays.

Current regulations, for example, would replace the 7 5-bed McDill AFB Hospital with a 48-bed facility despite the large retiree population of the Tampa area.

A hospital would be required at each service academy "subject to the availability of appropriations." The Defense Department estimates a $25-iriillion hospital will be asked for Annapolis in the FY '86 budget. West Point and Colorado Springs have hospitals.

To meet combat loads, Defense is drafting legislation which would draft both male and female health professionals in case of war.

Courts, Laws Penalize Evaders All three branches of government are cracking down on young men who fail to register for the draft. The Justice Department has obtained many indictments and three courts so far have convicted evaders. District Court in San Diego, refusing to hear arguments about the well-established constitutionality of the law, convicted student Benjamin H. Sasway and sentenced him to 30 months.

Maximum sentence is $10,0(X) and five years. District Court in Roanoke VA sentenced Enten Eller to three years' probation and ordered him to register in 90 days or face fine and imprisonment. In District Court in Cleveland a jury convicted Mark Arden Schumucker.

The final version of the Defense authorization for FY '83 forbids any federal college assistance to any student who failed to register for the draft. In passing a jobs aid biU, S. 2036, an amendment barring any of its benefits to

draft registration violators was added on the House floor.

To aid recruiting, the Defense authorization also allows the services to ask for information from schools to help recruiters contact prospects. And it asks local governments, on request, to furnish any available information on the criminal background of enlistment applicants.

Many Other Developments After hearing the Defense arid Coast Guard General Counsels, the Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Army Judge Advocates General, the three judges of the Court of MiUtary Appeals and other witnesses, the Senate Armed Services' Manpower and Personnel Subcommittee is readying a biU, S. 2521, to further tighten the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The bill Would allow special courts-martial to impose heavier sentences and allow heavier sentences for drug offenses. President Reagan meanwhile signed an executive order subjecting those who use or sell drugs in circumstances likely to harm military readiness or endanger lives to heavier punishment.

Drugs aboard ship, or in combat areas, or involving aircraft or missiles are targeted.

The House Armed Services Committee's Non-Appropriated Fund Subcommittee has approved the setting up of travel service concessions in Navy exchanges and is considering allowing similar medical, dental ahd legal concessions.

Overturning the version of its Foreign Affairs Committee, which caUed for a freeze of US-USSR nuclear arsenals at present levels and for ratification of SALT II, the House on 5 August adopted an Administration-favored substitute by a 204-202 vote. As passed, H.J. Res. 521 simply expresses the support of Congress for the two nations to try to obtain a verifiable reduction of their nuclear armaments. So the measure now is similar to S.J. Res. 212, in which the Administration prevailed, 10-6, in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The Senate itself has not acted.

One of the longest-held American prisoners of the Vietnamese has been confirmed as Deputy Administrator of Veterans Affairs and may be the Administrator. Everett Alvarez, Jr., a retired Navy jet pilot who was a prisoner for 8'/2 years, had previously been appointed Deputy Director of the Peace Corps in early 1981. Alvarez is a leading candidate to succeed Robert P. Nimmo who will leave as Veterans Administrator at the end of 1982.

The military titles of the U.S. Code — 10, 14, 37 and 38 — represent the actual law again. Since the four titles were 29

enacted into actual law a number of years ago many bills have passed which were not actual "chapter and verse" amendments of those titles. Passage of complex HR.R. 4623 by Congress remedies that.

Reservists and National Guardsmen are protected in their re-employment rights, if they are on military duty no more than 12 months in any three years, by a bill, H.R. 6788, unanimously approved by the House. The bill reverses court decisions that re-employment after duty of more than 90 days is not assured by existing laws. About 6,000 individuals perform more than 90 days duty a year.

A different type of job aid — unemployment compensation — is provided for those who leave the armed services voluntarily on expiration of their first full term of duty. The 13 weeks of aid provided by H.R. 4717, cleared by Congress just before the 1 October adjournment, is a partial reversal of the ban in the 1981 Reconciliation Act. Speaking at commissioning of nuclear attack submarine HOUSTON, Chairman John Tower of the Senate Armed Services Committee, a Texan, warned, "We must sustain greater building rates in all ship types in the forces, even if this means . . . a larger defense budget."

Each new class of Soviet ships in their expanding fleet, he declared, "is larger.

more heavily armed and more wideranging than its predecessor."

Since SecNav John F. Lehman, Jr., warned that future purchases of the F-18 Hornet would be cancelled if McDonnell did not curb price increases (November Shipmate), the Navy Secretary has reached agreement with the manufacturers on a price of $22.5 million each, a saving of about $1.2 million.

A Senate Armed Services Subcommittee — Sen. William Cohen's Seapower group — is investigating why protesters were able to do some damage to a Trident missile submarine under construction at Electric Boat in Groton. Security of yards overaU is in question.

Many Other New Laws Signed In addition to bills discussed earlier in this column these other measures have been signed into law in recent weeks: — H.R. 6551, the overhaul of military construction and family housing laws, signed 12 July as PL 97-214. In addition on to a better organizing of such laws, including many provisions now carried in annual construction authorization acts, the new law assures occupants of substandard housing shall not forfeit more than 75 percent of their basic allowance

for quarters. It also increases the space allowances for station commanders and the senior chief petty officer or sergeant major at a station by 10% because of their entertainment responsibilities.

— H.R. 4688, increasing from $15,000 to $25,000 the maximum reinbursement for loss of property allowed by the Military Personnel and Civilian Employee's Claims Act, signed 28 July as PL 97-226. The bill passed the House in March and the Senate on 16 July.

— H.J. Res. 526, declaring the week of 1-7 August 1982 as "National Purple Heart Week," signed 2 August 1982 as PL 97-228. House passage was reported in October Shipmate; the Senate did not pass the joint resolution until 28 July.

— H.R. 5380, granting a Congressional charter of incorporation to American Ex-Prisoners of War, signed 10 August as PL 97-234. The bill was reported to the House 20 July and passed the same day; reported to the Senate 27 July and passed the following day. The organization, which also retains its Washington State incorporation, was originally incorporated in New Mexico in 1943 as the Bataan Relief Organization.

— S.J. Res. 123, proclaiming 7-13 November 1982 as "National Disabled Veterans Week," signed 20 August as PL 97-240.

A Few Inches From The Yard Midshipman Jay Rose '83

It's really quite fim writing these articles for Shipmate for the simple reason that it gives me a chance to forget about the present and escape into the future. And beUeve me, this has been one of those weeks from which I'd Uke to escape. Between exams, a nuclear power interview, and a date with the dentist to have my wisdom teeth pulled, it hasn't been the best of weeks. But I'm going to change all that now and escape into the future to Christmas, my favorite time of the year.

I know I'm not alone when I speak of Christmas as my favorite time of the year. Christmas is a time of celebration: a time to spend with famiUes, see old friends, and give thanks for aU that we have. It's also a time to get away from Bancroft Hall and enjoy the world that we know exists out there!

Things have certainly changed for mids since the "good old days" when Christmas leave began on December 24th and only lasted until January 2nd. Heck, that was probably only enough time for many a mid to get home, open Christmas presents late, and turn right back arotmd to return in time for first semester final exams. These days there are nearly three weeks of Christmas leave â&#x20AC;&#x201D; enough time to do just about anything â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and final exams are before leave instead of after.

This, to me, is the best example of an Academy chaijge for the better that has ever occurred.

Nobody looks forward to Christmas leave more than the plebes. After plebe siunmer (which seems like an eternity), and first semester (which makes plebe stmmier look short), the plebes are excited about getting back home. Airline reservations, which were made in September, are confirmed; bags are packed days in advance, laden with Christmas gifts that moms want from the midstore; and phone caUs home become a more frequent occurrence.

I remember as a plebe how intense the desire to go home truly was. As final exams approached the days grew longer, time moved slower, and the excitement became almost iml>earable. Finally, by the last exam, it was aU but impossible to study. Consequently this exam was certainly the toughest; but afterwards there wasn't any complaining or worrying about it . . . instead there were only smiling plebes miming back to Bancroft HaU, ready to begin leave.

Once at home it doesn't take plebes long to readjust to their former Ufe style. In fact, after only a few hours most will have stopped squaring comers in their house, will no longer address older brothers as "sir", and wiU realize that they don't have to give chow-calls before meals. This is when the ftm begins.

32

A plebe on Christmas leave is a celebrity, the center of attention. Everyone (family, friends, and especially mothers of eUgible girls!) wants to hear about Ufe as a plebe at the Naval Academy. Questions come from a variety of people and cover many topics. People who know about the Academy ask the usual questions: "How do you like school?", and "Do you think you'U stay?" The questions that are more ftm to answer coming from people who know Uttle or nothing atiout he Academy. Typically these people ask questions such as: "WTiat ship are you stationed on?"; and finally after telling them that the Naval Academy is a school in Aimapolis, they'll come back with something Uke, "Oh yeah, Aimapolis. That's where they have that big auto race every year, isn't it?" Being an ambassador of the Naval Academy, it is important for plel>es to handle tactfully the many questions they are asked.

The best thing that a plebe can do over Christmas leave is thoroughly to enjoy himself and his freedom away from the Academy pressures. The time goes quickly, and before it seems possible, the gloomy trip back to the eternally dreaded Dark Ages is upon the plebes.

And how does plebe Christmas compare to a first class' Christmas? Of course there is the excitement of the season itself, but now the old home has changed in the last three years. It's sad in its own way because the room that was always yours as a kid has been boxed-up and turned into a study. The friends from high school? Well, most are finishing up school, getting married, finding jobs and scattering arotmd the coimtry. The few friends who are left have developed their own interests. Sure there's still the idle talk of past times, but in many cases it ends here.

As first class our minds are fiUed with thoughts of service selection, engagements, and Ufe in the fleet. In the back of our minds we also come to the realization that after this Christmas we will be depending more on ourselves, and less on our parents. Yet no matter how much home has changed, or however far we may someday be away, the love that we cherish for our homes and famiUes wiU always be there. And this is what makes Christmas leave so very special.

I wish a very Merry Christmas to all, and smooth sailing and following seas throughout the New Year . . . GO 83!!! ^

Mids Steady on Defense, Inconsistent On Offense, and Battle Crucial Injuries Navy's football team used a pair of wins over WilUam & Mary and The Citadel to bring its record to 4-3 prior to a season-ending quartet of games that includes in succession Notre Dame, Syracuse, South CaroUna and Army, all on the road.

The Midshipmen in recent weeks have been playing much steadier defense, particularly after their 24-21 last second loss to Air Force in which they allowed 460 yards of total offense. In the past two weeks, the Mid defenders "have been more aggressive and have been flying around a bit," according to Coach Gary Tranquill. "This was the way we played against Arkansas." As a resuh WilUam & Mary had just 204 total yards while The Citadel managed only 109 yards.

In the meantime, quarterback Marco PagnanelU, a second classman in his last year of eUgibiUty, was sparking some offense untU suffering a broken leg in the 28-3 triumph over The Citadel. That win was, to put it mUdly, costly. In addition to the loss of PagnanelU for the season, tight end Chris WeUer, a youngster, and defensive end Chuck Bresnahan, a firstie, both were lost for the year too, WeUer with a broken collarbone and Bresnahan with torn knee Ugaments.

The quarterback position had been one of the team's strengths last summer, what with three letterman returning at the position. But first classman Jeff Kom, a starter in two games in 1981, was killed in an automobUe crash on July 30 and now PagnaneUi has been sideUned. First classman Tom Tarquinio will take over as the starter. He was instmmental in two Midshipmen wins in 1980 when he had a major role in the victories over Syracuse and Georgia Tech. He also was the starter for the first three games of 1981 before PagnanelU supplanted him as the starter. This year, Tarquinio has completed 9 of 16 passes for 142 yards and one touchdown.

An analysis of games since the last issue of Shipmate foUows: Boston College 31, Navy 0 Navy's offense frustrated itself with fumbles, dropped balls, and penalties and thereby failed to take advantage of Shipmate, December 1982

The Eagles, one of the East's surprise teams foUowing an upset win over Texas A&M and a highly acclaimed 17-17 tie with defending national champion Clemson, proved to be as productive with their offense as the Mids were unproductive with theirs. BC totalled 446 yards, including a 279-yard, three touchdown performance from sophomore quarterback Doug Flutie. The disappointing loss overshadowed a fine all-around effort by Mid youngster running back Napoleon McCaUum. He rushed for 42 yards on 10 carries, caught eight passes for 72 yards, returned four punts for 65 yards and returned four kickoffs for 80 yards.

McCallum loose against B.C After seven games he ranks fourth in the country in all-purpose running and second in punt returns.

"We made every conceivable mistake," said Navy coach Gary TranquiU after the game. "I was surprised about how we played because we had a good week of practice. But we couldn't sustain anything today."

Despite all of their offensive frustrations, the Mids were still in the game as late as midway through the final period.

The Eagles had scored a second quarter

touchdown when Flutie passed eight yards to tight end Scott Nizolek. McCallum set Navy up with a threat moments later with a 34-yard punt return to the BC 18. But the Mids were called for cUpping in the end zone on the next play and had to finedly try a 40-yard field goal which was no good.

It was McCallum who gave the Mids another opportunity early in the third quarter when he took a Marco PagnaneUi pass 54 to the Eagle 29 just after the visitors had upped their margin to 14-0.

The Midshipmen worked the ball to the seven where on third down PagnanelU threw out of bounds, while needing one yard, and on the next play McCallum was stopped cold.

Late in the third quarter. Navy third classman Eric Rutherford, a defensive tackle, grabbed a Boston College fumble on the BC 10. Three plays got the Midshipmen to the five, where on fourth down Steve Young's 22-yard field goal try was blocked.

The Eagles then closed out the scoring with 17 points in the final quarter.

Navy 27, Duke 21 Navy played what coach Gary TranquiU said was its best three quarters of football on both sides of the ball in roUing up a 27-0 advantage over the previously unbeaten Blue Devils, then had to hang on as quarterback Ben Bennett brought Duke back with a fourth quarter rally.

In fact, it took a big play from defensive end Travis WalUngton and defensive middle guard Steve Peters to preserve the win for the Midshipmen. With the score 27-21, Duke had reached the Navy 10-yard line with 58 seconds remaining.

Bennett, who passed for 259 yards in the fourth quarter, tried to roll right when WalUngton hit him from behind, popping the ball loose and allowing Peters to recover on the six. Navy then ran out the clock.

Even though it rolled up the big advantage, the Midshipmen had several opportunities to put the game out of reach.

Leading 17-0 in the second quarter. Navy lost the ball on a fumble on the Duke 16 and, early in the third period after taking the opening drive to the Duke four, the Mids coughed the ball up once again.

Also, in that third period, youngster Eric Wallace nearly intercepted a Duke pass deep in Blue Devil territory but was 33

unable to hang onto the ball — he had open field in front of him.

While WalUngton and Peters proved to be the ultimate defensive heroes, the offensive play was keyed primarily by McCallum and PagnanelU with some fine support from a pair of youngster receivers, tight end Chris Weiler and flanker Ken Heine. McCallum had his first game ever over 100 yards rushing, netting 211 yards on 36 carries, including dashes of 55 and 39 yards. He also returned two punts for 23 yards.

PagnanelU set a school record for completion percentage in a game when he connected on 15 of his 17 pass attempts (for 171 yards and two touchdowns), a mark of .882, surpassing the old record of .875 (14 of 16) by Roger Staubach against Michigan in 1963.

The first Navy touchdown came in the first period when Kurt Dixon, a second

class defensive back, intercepted Bennett for the first time all season and set the Mids up at the Duke 47. A 26-yard run

by PagnanelU was followed five plays later by McCallum's six-yard sweep of left end for a touchdown.

Dixon intercepted another pass late in that first period to set up a 40-yard touchdown toss from PagnanelU to Heine on the first play of the second quarter.

The Midshipmen had a 17-0 lead by halftime following Young's 47-yard field goal.

At halftime, Duke had but 41 yards rushing and 40 yards passing.

Navy continued to dominate throughout the third period, as Young added a 43-yard field goal and McCallum ran 39 yards to the Duke nine, from where PagnanelU hit Weiler for a 27-0 lead.

But Bennett's passing arm cranked out two quick touchdowns at the start of the fourth period, the Blue Devils first going 54 yards in eight plays in just 1:19 and then covering 80 yards on four plays in just 1:09. Suddenly, with 10:18 remaining. Navy's lead was cut to 27-14.

A third Duke score came on a pass from Bennett with 4:30 remaining and the Blue Devils now trailed by just six points. Navy was unable to get a first down on the ensuing possession and punted to the Duke 32. After Bennett was sacked for a nine-yard loss by middle guard George Herlong, he completed five straight passes to the Mid 35. Two plays later the Blue Devils had reached the 10 where WalUngton and Peters made their play.

Shipmate, December 1982

Air Force 24, Navy 21 Navy's frustrations at trying to win in Falcon Stadium at Air Force Academy, continued this year when the Falcons kicked a field goal in the final five seconds for a 24-21 victory over the Midshipmen. The key to the Air Force triumph was its powerful wishbone attack which the Mids were unable to stop â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Falcons rolled up 396 yards on the ground and 460 yards altogether while keeping the ball for 37 minutes and 33 seconds.

"We didn't play very good defensive football," said TranquiU afterwards. "I don't think I did a good job of coaching from a preparation viewpoint. They dominated our defense. They kept making lots of yardage on first down plays and that puts you in the hole."

The Midshipmen trailed twice by 14 points in the game but pulled to a 21-21 tie with 3:37 remaining when PagnanelU passed eight yards to Chris Weiler, culminating a 50-yard drive. Tranquill decided with so much time left to kick the extra point instead of trying for two.

"I thought we could stop them and get good field position and possibly kick a field goal," he explained. "We had been playing pretty good defense in the fourth quarter."

But on the first play from scrimmage.

Falcon quarterback Marty Louthan, mnning an option play, cut back instead of making the pitch and ran for 45 yards to the Midshipmen 35 yard line. The Falcons then kept giving the ball to buUdozing fuUback John Kershner who carried nine straight times to the one, from where Sean Pavlich kicked the 18-yard field goal.

The quick-footed Louthan was to end the game with 156 yards rushing on 19 carries while Kershner had 126 yards on 37 carries.

Air Force took the game's opening drive and marched 80 yards in five plays with Mike Brown scooting the final 25 yards for a touchdown. The Falcons led 14-0 after their next possession as they went 85 yards in 16 plays.

Navy's first touchdown was a two-yard run by McCallum early in the second period that ended a 70-yard thrust.

Then at the start of the second half, the Midshipmen elected to kickoff and have the brisk wind with them for the fourth quarter. However, Air Force took this opportunity to score its third touchdown by travelling 79 yards on 10 plays.

The Midshipmen cut the 14-point deficit with a touchdown on Rick Clouse's two-yard run late in the third quarter and then gained the tie with the fourth period drive.

Two years ago, Louthan passed 34 yards to end Andy Bark to deal Navy a 21-20 loss in this same stadium.

Shipmate, December 1982

Navy 39, William & Mary 3 Navy combined an aggressive defense with its best offensive output since 1970 as it clubbed William & Mary, 39-3, but the victory was dimmed somewhat by the loss of youngster defensive back Eric Wallace with a shoulder separation.

"We played a little bit today, finally," sighed TranquiU. "We played with more enthusiasm and more aggressiveness. We looked Uke a footbaU team."

Once again, the Midshipmen failed to do anything on their first possession, but quickly made amends after allowing William & Mary to net a field goal. On four of its next five possessions. Navy was to put points on the board as it built up a 29-3 halftime lead. First, Rich Clouse took a pitchout four yards for a touchdown to polish off a 76-yard drive in which PagnanelU was superb, completing four of five passes.

After Jon Ross, the first classman playing corner, intercepted an Indian pass, PagnanelU used just four plays to get the Mids into the end zone again, he himself scoring from the one. Napoleon McCallum took a pitchout five yards for another six-pointer and PagnanelU completed the first half scoring with a one yard TD run.

McCallum and Clouse both did not play much of the last three quarters of the game because of a shoulder bruise and pulled hamstring respectively. That allowed seldom-used second classman Bryan Caraveo, who got his first start that very afternoon at fullback, to gain some playing time. This versatile back, who moved over to tailback for the final three quarters, responded with 82 yards rushing and 39 yards on five pass receptions.

Navy ran up 559 yards total offense that afternoon, 292 rushing and 267 passing, the most yards by a Midshipmen team since the season opener against Colgate in 1970 when 653 yards were gained.

In the meantime, the defensive unit with some heads-up play by defensive end Travis WalUngton and linebacker Andy Ponseigo was to limit William & Mary to just 204 yards, and a net of eight on the ground.

PagnaneUi finished the game with 18 completions in 25 attempts for 217 yards and rushed for 69 yards on 18 carries.

Navy 28, The Citadel 3 There haven't been too many wins at Navy in the last decade that were as costly as this one. The loss of PagnanelU (broken leg), Weiler (broken collarbone) and Bresnahan (torn knee ligaments) certainly overshadowed the 28-3 triumph and a superb defensive effort that saw the Midshipmen hold The Citadel to a total of 109 yards.

While the Navy offense was sluggish, playing without its two top running backs, the Bulldogs were probably even

less of a threat on offense. They fumbled seven times, losing four of them to the Midshipmen, and gave up the baU twice on interceptions. Navy had 12 tackles for losses of 65 yards against the visitors.

Navy's first touchdown in the first period was set up by second class middle guard George Herlong's recovery of a Citadel fumble on the Bulldog 40. The drive ended when first class fullback Andy Skehan crashed over from the one.

The Mids then continued to thwart themselves with fumbles, dropped passes and a blocked punt that led to a 32-yard Citadel field goal early in the second period.

The Midshipmen came right back with defensive back Jon Ross returning the kickoff 29 yards with a five-yard facemask penalty that put the ball at midfield. PagnanelU connected with Bryan Caraveo for a 33 yard gain and on the next play Caraveo used the halfback pass to hit flanker Ken Heine in the end zone for a 23-yard score.

An interception by linebacker Andy Ponseigo, a second classman, gave the Mids the ball later in the second frame on the Citadel 36. After three straight PagnanelU pass completions, Caraveo dove over from the two yard line.

PagnanelU was taken from the field midway through the third period and firstie Tom Tarquinio came to handle most of the quarterbacking chores for the afternoon. He did take Navy on a 51-yard drive late in the final period in just six plays, completing a 29-yard pass to tight end Frazier Frantz to get it started and culminating it with a nineyard TD toss to Heine.

Caraveo was to finish the game with 80 yards on 22 rushes, five pass receptions for 64 yards and one pass completion that carried for 23 yards and a touchdown.

PagnanelU, off to a slow start in the game, finished with 11 completions in 27 carries for 150 yards. He finished the season with 98 completions in 169 attempts for 1133 yards and seven touchdowns. He threw only six interceptions, only one in his last 96 attempts.

It would be easy to make a case for him as the best all-around quarterback Navy has had since Roger Staubach was at the controls from 1962-64. First of all, PagnanelU in just 17 games (10 in 1981 and 7 this year), had 2,593 yards of total offense to rank ninth in career standings in this category at the Academy. His passing efficiency of 115.95 rates him ahead of Mike McNallen (1968-70), Navy's all-time career passing leader (based on completions) and ahead of John Cartwright (1965-67), the Academy's all-time career total offense leader.

McNallen's efficiency mark was 78.43, Cartwright's 103.50 and Bob Leszczynski's at 115.16. Leszczynski played from 35

1976-78. PagnanelU set the single record for pass completion percentage against Duke earUer this season.

"He was a great competitor," said head coach Gary TranquiU. "His decision-making in recent games had been superb."

One can only speculate what it would have been Uke if he could have finished out this year. He was within range of the school single season mark for touchdown passes (10) with his seven and he certainly would have advanced far up the career total offense and pass completion ladders.

Navy Lightweights Topple Army, But Loss To Cornell Dims Title Chances Navy's Ughtweight footbaU team used the talents of running backs Joe Hines and Chris Butler to defeat Army, 27-7, the worst Ucking the Midshipmen have administered the Cadets in this sport since 1959.

But a 12-10 loss to ComeU two weeks prior to the Army triumph apparentiy has put the Big Red in the favorite's role to take the Eastern Lightweight Football League title. ComeU has already beaten Army too.

Hines, a youngster, and Butler, a first classman, gained 87 and 86 yards respectively against Army and each scored two touchdowns against the Cadets.

Other Ughtweight results include a 21-0 win over Peim and a 21-6 victory over Princeton. Butler, AU-League in 1981, leads the team in mshing, 351 yards on 67 carries after four games, while the speedy Hines has 223 yards on 45 carries.

Each has scored three touchdowns this year. Quarterback Tommy Deitz, a second classman, has completed 30 of 68 pass attempts for 378 yards and five touchdowTis. Cross Country Team Shuts-Out Army, Finishes Unbeaten in Dual Competition Navy's cross country team may have been the most pleasant surprise of the faU season. First of all, veteran coach Al CanteUo had lost five key performers from last year's squad which went 5-3.

But the outspoken CanteUo, getting superb leadership from team captain WiUie McCool plus fine support from second classman Sean Roskey, managed once again to come up with an outstanding group, one that finished unbeaten in dual competition, 5-0, and thumped Army, 15-50 (a shut-out), for the ninth straight win over the Cadets.

"We had no real super stars to depend on, just team unity," said CanteUo who has now guided the Mids to unbeaten campaigns in two of the past three seasons.

Soccer Team Overcomes Slow Start With Stingy Defense to Come Along Navy's soccer team reached its lowpoint of the season when it lost to Maryland, 5-0, in late September, giving it a 2-3 record at the time.

A nifty turn-around that saw the Midshipmen go unbeaten in their next six games (there were two ties) was keyed by some soUd defensive play. Among the wins were triumphs over James Madison, American and nationaUy-ranked Fairleigh-Dickinson, the latter for the Old Dominion Harbor Classic Toumament championship.

Since then, the team sandwiched a win over Baltimore U. in between losses to nationally ranked George Mason and Penn State for a current 7-5-2 mark.

Plebe Mike Donigan is the team's top scorer with five goals and one assist. Second classman Tab Bnmer foUows with four goals and one assist.

Newest Sport, Water Polo, Makes Impressive Start in Gaining National Ranking Water polo, just reinstated as a varsity sport this faU, has produced some impressive results: a current 13-3 record and a national ranking of 13th.

At mid-season. Navy was being paced by firsties Craig MaUoy with 29 goals and Andy Griffith with 28. Second classman Bob Mohle also has been impressive, showing a three-goal outburst in a 20-7 win over Fordham. MaUoy had five goals when the Mids upended Indiana of Pennsylvania.

Women's Volleyball Team Plugging For Winning Campaign Navy's women's voUeybsdl team was 13-11-1 as Shipmate went to press and the second annual battle with Army was looming ahead.

First classman Cheryl Dolyniuk, who suffered a hip injury in the team's recent outing, managed to make it back to the Uneup where her spiking abiUty is needed.

Navy Heavyweight Crew Wins Head of Charies Regatta Navy's heavyweight varsity eight won the Head of Charles Regatta on Sunday, 24 October, for the third straight year and for the second year in a row set a course record. The Midshipmen were timed in 14:24.3, breaking the old three mile record on the Charles River by 12.2 seconds. Navy was foUowed in the race

by the Charles River Rowing Association (1980 Olympic Crew), Harvard. Yale, Brown and Dartmouth.

Sailing Team Carries On On 25-26 September, Navy's dinghy team won aU but one of four divisions to take its own Fall Invitational Regatta from 21 other competitors by a margin of 105 points over second place Merchant Marine. The sloop saUors won the Shields Trophy for the Service Academy Sloop Championship sailed at New York Maritime, and the Plebes won their first intersectional regatta against ten other teams, also at New York Maritime.

A week later Navy and Maryland placed 1-2 in area eliminations leading to the IntercoUegiate Sloop Championship, sailed at AnnapoUs. Also at home, the women won the first Women's Intersectional Regatta, sailed in 420 dinghies, by a clear margin over Tufts. However, at Coast Guard, Navy could only manage a fifth place in the Danmark Trophy Regatta behind Tufts, Harvard, Connecticut and Brown. At home. Navy's yawl sailors quahfied to defend the McMillan Cup for the East Coast Large Yacht Championship and, at Webb Institute, Navy's dinghy team placed first among six entrants.

But, on 8-10 October at home. Navy lost the McMillan Cup by a single point to Princeton. That margin came when Merchant Marine was disquaUfied in the last race and moved Princeton from seventh to sixth. Had there been a tie.

Navy would have won for placing ahead of Princeton in head-to-head competition.

Of course, a Navy disquaUfication in the second race of the series didn't help.

In singlehanded area elimination races, Navy swept the first five places in quaUfying for the district championship.

Navy's co-ed team cleaned up the Army Co-Ed Regatta, the women placed second in Yale's New England Women's Regatta, and youngster skippers with plebe crews placed third in Pennyslvania's Packer Trophy Regatta.

On 16-17 October, Navy's Brian Ledbetter and Robbie Brown finished 1-2 in the Middle AUantic Singlehanded Championship, sailed at Merchant Marine, to quaUfy for the nationals at the end of the month. Navy also won the Middle Atlantic Women's FaU Dinghy Championship, also sailed at Merchant Marine, and Navy won Army's Great Chain Race on the Hudson. ^

II.S. Naval AcademHluniiii Association WILLIAM P. MACK VAdm., USN (Ret.) Prasidenl

A L U M N I HOUSE â&#x20AC;˘ ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND 21402

Dear Fellow Alumni: It is fitting that we make an annual assessment of how well we are carrying out our mission. Broadly stated, our mission, which is in three parts, calls for our Association to assist in bringing outstanding candidates to the Naval Academy and to sponsor activities which will assist the Naval Academy and which will bind its alumni together.

As to the first part of our mission, the Blue and Gold Program is flourishing, good candidates are coming to the Naval Academy and we are adding a new Alumni Association initiative by sponsoring local Parents Clubs. These clubs foster great local pride in midshipmen and serve as additional recruiting aids.

As to the second part of our mission, increasing government fiscal restraints, which are expected to be placed upon the Superintendent, will in turn call upon us for increasing assistance in the struggle to maintain the margin of excellence which makes our Academy so great. New initiatives in this area are now in the planning and early execution stages. You will be hearing about them in the near future.

As to the third part of our mission, the growing life membership program and the initiative of our chapters are increasing the cohesion of our Association.

An integral part of this examination is an audit and the rendering to the membership of an Annual Report. From it you will be able to conclude that we are progressing satisfactorily financially.

In addition, we are sound administratively and are increasing our membership annually.

I hope each member of our Association will examine the Annual Report in detail and with personal interest. We will welcome your comments and recommendations. Our common goal is to make our Association efficient and productive and to carry out our assigned mission. You can be part of this effort.

Sincerely, 'a*tL. WILLIAM P . 14ACK

Vice Admiral, USN (Ret.) President

Shipmate, December 1982

Annual Report, FY 1982

Executive Director's Report I £un pleased to report that, by any measure, fiscal year 1982 was one of progress and growth for our Association. Because many of the details have been presented in Shipmate thru the year, I'll confine this report to highlights.

As you'U note from the fiscal year 1982 audit in this issue, we achieved an excess of revenue over expenses of $46,210 after depreciation. Total assets of the Association are now in excess of $3.6 milUon. Membership continues to increase. With the addition of the Class of 1982 to our roUs, we show a total of 22,606 members of whom 9,471 are Ufe members and 13,135 are annual members. Our forecasts for a net annual increase in members, with a continuing increase in the number of life members versus annual members, continues to hold true.

As we are all aware, one of the major missions of the Alumni Association is to ensure that the Naval Academy remains a quality institution.

The Academy must attract, and professionally train the best young people available if it is to carry out its mission. In order to do so, the Superintendent must have the necessary resources.

These include a physical plant; a highly qualified faculty, both military and civilian; and all of the supporting facilities and personnel normally associated with a fine university. In addition, he must have the equipment to ensure that the midshipmen are physically fit and received the professional training necessary to allow them to capably perform as officers of the naval service.

Many would argue, and convincingly, that it is the responsibility of the Congress to provide all of the resources needed by the Superintendent. However, the simple truth is that the Congress never has, does not, and most probably never will do so. In that way, the Academy is similar to a state university. The government provides what might be termed the absolute necessities; it is others who bridge the gap between adequacy and excellence.

You don't have to look very far to find evidence of that support; it's everywhere.

The Naval Academy physically exists in its present form only because Robert Means Thompson hired — and paid — Emest Flagg to design a Naval Academy. It was only after that was done that the Congress appropriated the first significant amount for constmction.

In every area, from academics to athletics, from books to buildings, it is private support which has allowed the Academy to grow and to develop.

Gifts of aU types, from a variety of sources, of many sizes, for a multitude of purposes, have made this possible. Should this have been necessary? Possibly not. Was it necessary? Certainly. Will it continue to be necessary? Undoubtedly.

The Museum, the Crown Sailing Center, the renovation of Dahlgren Hall, the completion and furnishing of the Naval Academy Chapel, the construction of a Chapel in Mitscher Hall, the building of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, and the current completion of the grounds surrounding Lejeune Hall are but a few examples of construction at the Academy with private financing.

The Library — the heart of any good academic institution — has been vastly enriched by private coUections and by funds to supplement the acquisition budget.

Shipmate, December 1982

Hardware and programs necessary to ensure superior academic and professional training of the Bridgade have come from individuals and groups of individuals. The sail training program; the Marshall Cox Scholars language training program; the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference; support of prizes and awards to outstanding midshipmen; support of national academic honor societies; sponsorship of lecture series; support necessary to enrich and improve the faculty; are all areas in which private funds have had a major impact.

Physical fitness training and intercollegiate athletic competition are important components of the training process at the Academy.

We are all aware, I believe, that if the Academy relied on government funds for this purpose, there would be no — repeat no — Navy intercollegiate teams.

Nor would the 84 extra-curricular activities involving the entire Brigade — the juice gang, the steam gang, the hockey club, the glee club, the rugby club, the radio station, the Masqueraders, to cite a few — be available to allow the midshipmen to let off steam and pursue their own areas of interest outside the classroom.

What does all this mean? Simply stated, that at every step of the way, from the time a prospective midshipman is in high school until his entry and subsequent graduation from the Academy, private funds play a major role in the identification and preparation of the leaders of tomorrow's Navy.

If we are to be realistic, we must assume that the Naval Academy will continue to require support from alumni and friends if it is to turn out the superior product which the Navy and Marine Corps must have.

The identification of the needs of the Academy, and the fulfiUment of those needs from the private sector, does not happen haphazardly nor accidentally. The Superintendent's Memorials and Gifts Advisory Board receives, screens and acts on all needs expressed by the many departments within the Yard. Included in the membership of that board is a senior representative of every major user or seeker of private funds associated with the Academy. All projects recommended to the Superintendent for approval by the Board have at least two things in common: they are needed to help fulfill the Academy's mission, and they cannot or will not be met with federal funds. continued on next page

At present, in addition to obtaining unrestricted funds — those which the Superintendent can apply to the areas of greatest need at any time — the Alumni Association is helping accomplish a number of specific projects. At any given time, approximately ten classes are raising significant amounts — from 20 to 100 thousand dollars — to help the Academy remain the finest institution of its kind in the world. Specifically, during FY 82 the Alumni Association administered and expended $264,388.91 of restricted class funds in direct support of the Naval Academy. In addition, we administered and expended $188,003.01 from individuals and other groups in support of the Academy. If we add to the above private funds and corporations and non-alumni sources, the total amount in support of the Naval Academy in FY 82 was almost $700,000.

Some of the class projects underway or recently completed include: Class of 1927 provided stained glass window dedicated to all midshipmen, past, present, and future, in the Bancroft Hall Protestant Chapel; Class of 1935 contributed $18,000 for a plaque in Mem HaU Usting alumni who are Medal of Honor winners, a six-foot diameter clock for Nimitz Library, and a 49-note Flemish Carillon for the Main Chapel organ; Class of 1937 is raising a minimum of $37,000 for an as yet unspecified gift to the Naval Academy on their 50th anniversary; Class of 1939 recently raised over their goal of $50,000 to provide and install a cesium frequency (atomic) clock in Michelson HaU; Class of 1940 raised $56,450 to construct a memorial fountain and landscape the area northwest of Lejeune Hall; Class of 1944 raised over $80,000 to construct a memorial plaza adjacent to the entrance of Lejeune Hall and to provide funds for a coordinated Navy sports display area within Lejeune Hall; Class of 1945 is raising a minimum of $45,(KX) for a gift to the Academy on their 45; Class of 1947 is raising $57,000 to fund the addition of 2,100 permanent seats in Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium to meet NCAA requirements of seating capacity to remain in the I-A division; Class of 1949 provided $3,(XX) for a stained glass window in memory of Father Tom Donoher '49 in the Bancroft Hall Catholic Chapel; Class of 1950 raised $34,(X)0 to provide a graciously landscaped setting adjacent to Lejeune Hall; Class of 1951 raised over $60,000 for "Opera-

tion Access," making the Naval Academy Chapel accessible to the handicapped; Class of 1952 raised $16,000 to provide the remainder needed for the scoreboard in Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium; Class of 1954 provided in excess of $4,000 to upgrade and maintain the list in Mem Hall of USNA KIA's; Class of 1957 raised $15,000 for purchase of a gate in Navy-Marine Corps stadium — with that goal exceeded, it is presently deciding on a second project; Class of 1961 raised $20,000 to purchase 10 stadium seats in memory of KIA's and MIA's from the class, and two handicapped shehers and a gate in the Navy-Marine Corps stadium in memory of all deceased classmates; Class of 1980 contributed $1,800 for Medal of Honor plaques in Dahlgren HaU. A relatively recent development has been the establishment of endowments within the Alumni Association. These gifts provide support in perpetuity for the Naval Academy, either for designated purposes or for unrestricted use. The Marvin M. Stephens Memorial Fund, the Frank E. and Harriet E. Hedrick Endowment Fund, the Marshall H. Cox Fund, the David E. Trundy Memorial Fund and the the H. George Schneider Fund are examples of gifts which will help the needs of the Naval Academy for generations to come.

Chapters continue to increase in size and in scope. Recent additions include the St. Louis, Columbia SC, and Hilton Head SC Chapters.

Likewise, the number of Parents' Clubs, administered by the Alumni Association at the request of the Superintendent, continue to increase in number.

Shipmate is, we feel, one of the finest alumni magazines in the country. This vital link between the alumni and the Academy wiU maintain its outstanding reputation for quality and continue to strengthen the bond among alumni.

I have every confidence that our Association, a true service organization wiU grow and become even stronger in the years ahead.

WILLIAM S. BUSIK Captain, USN (Ret.) Executive Director

Annual Fund, FY 1 9 8 2 Thanks to the hard work and generosity of Class Presidents, Class Chairmen and Agents, along with our many alumni, the 1982 annual fund drive, which ended 30 June 1982, was another success. The final figures along with comparable figures for the previous two years, are as follows: Annual Fund Unrestricted Designated Sub-total

Although the number of donors decreased over the previous year, it still represents the second highest donor total in the Association's history. Given the fact that the economy was less than ideal, we find that encouraging.

In the following pages you will find a listing of those who contributed during fiscal year 1982 as well as summaries of participation by class. We are deeply appreciative of each gift.

Corporate and Foundation Gifts Integral to the overaU success of the annual fund drive is the support received from those corporations and foundations which believe in the value of higher education and in the role which the Naval Academy plays in shaping the leaders of tomorrow's Navy.

Gifts and grants to the Alumni Association were made for designated programs, for unrestricted use, and to match alumni gifts.

Of great importance were the gifts received from the Sarah Scaife Foundation, the Texaco Philanthropic Foundation, the Exxon Education Foundation, and the George Olmstead Foundation in support of the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference. The $19,600 received from them allowed NAFAC to continue to be one of the finest conferences of its type in the country.

SimOarly, a grant of $20,000 from the Joseph Meyerhoff Fund was instrumental in making possible the construction of the InterFaith Chapel in Mitscher Hall.

This year, more alumni took advantage of their employer's matching gifts programs than in any previous year in the history of the Association. We hope that all supporters of the Association's efforts wUl take advantage of the fact that nearly 1,000 companies across the nation wUl match their employee's gifts to the Alumni Association.

Those corporations and foundations which supported the Association's efforts during the past year include: AT&T Chevron Aerojet-General Corporation Chrysler Corporation The Aerospace Corporation CITICORP Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. The Coca-Cola Company Allegheny Ludlum Industries Columbia Gas System Allied Chemical Foundation Combustion Engineering, Inc. AMAX Foundation, Inc. COMSAT American Airlines CONOCO, Inc.

14 USS STARK (FFG-31)

On 23 October 1982, the guided missile frigate USS STARK (FFG-31) was commissioned in Seattle, Washington. The ship is named for the late Adm. Harold B. Stark USN, the Chief of Naval Operations on 7 December 1941 when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. He had been a resolute supporter of the construction of capital ships for the "Two Ocean Navy" which proved to be a key to victory in World War 11, and he instituted in cooperation with Great Britain effective transAtlantic convoy protection as well as the antisubmarine warfare measures which bridged the Atlantic from both North and South America. In March 1942, he took command of U.S. Naval Forces in Europe, and thereafter provided the primary liasion between the British and American navies for logistics in the British Isles, including the massive staging, training and logistics for the 2,904 U.S. naval ships and craft manned by 124,000 officers and men participating in the Normandy invasion. He was awarded a Distinguished Service Medal for this effort, the third time he had received this award. In 1946 he was transferred to the retired list.

What a joy to be able to read! 1 have reluctantly given up bridge but I was and am not up to a high power game.

"Still get a kick out of sports — golf and tennis (and how the girls have improved in them). Had a visit from the under Secretary of the Navy, James Goodrich, who was the top engineer of the SeattleTacoma Shipbuilding at Tacoma during the years '42 to '45 in a yard that produced over 70 large vessels including the baby flattops that finished off the sub menace in the Atlantic. Sorry to hear of Pinkie Power's death. He had a fine sense of humor of which the world is sadly lacking. 1 live alone but fortunately my daughter, Ann Strine, lives next door. Cheerio, keep your health. Lloyd McGuigan." From 4832 W. Braddock Rd., Alexandria VA 22311.

A letter from Mrs. Wm. V. Fox at 1155 Star Park East, Coronado CA 92118: "A joint letter from Elizabeth Harrill Jessop and myself. We went to the Memorial Services at Christ Episcopal Church for Drusilla Christian, who died Tuesday, 14 September. She had been ill for several years.

Kemp (RAdm. Christian, USN, Ret.) broke his hip a few days before the services, but still attended in a wheel chair. 1 sold our house on Alameda 18 months after Bill died and bought a condominium shortly after, have lived here for over five years and like it very much. I hope you and your family keep well. Sincerely Helen F. Fox." Mrs. Christian was interred in Fort Rosecrans National

Cemetery. Fourteen extends our sympathy to Kemp in his loss. I lived close to Kemp in Bancroft Hall days but haven't seen much of him since then. I know he commanded USS NEW YORK in the latter part of World War II and retired in 1947.

Mrs. Fox and Mrs. Harrill are widows of Classmates who also served the long route for the U.S. Navy.

George Price joins in these Greetings, although not present at the lunch. He states that he is fine, active and going strong; however, stopped driving about a year ago so misses many events.

On Thursday, September 16th, the monthly lunch of the Classes of 1916-17-18 was enjoyed in the Tea Room of the Officers' Club, Naval Air Station, North Island (Coronado). There were interesting discussions relative to the expanding Navy, current political situations concerning the approaching November election, as well as the health of absent regular attendees. "Ye Scribe" unfortunately missed much of the session due to having attended the Memorial Service for the late Colonel Raymond "Deke" Stone, Jr., U.S.A. (West Point '23), a Navy Junior raised in Annapolis. After retirement he had been hving in La JoUa, where he was active in civic, church and choir activities. During his life he enjoyed his many Navy friends.

Present were: 1916 — Root, Loventhal, Chapline; 1917 — Kiland; 1918 — Curtis. "Ing" KUand handled all the excellent arrangements. "BiU" Murray, Joe Loventhal's guest, was again a fine participant, as well as driving Joe and Amos Root to and from the gathering.

18 Sec'y, Capt. Perry R. Taylor USNR (Ret.) 1211 South 25th St., Ariington VA 22202 Percent Members: 87 As the years roll on, you no doubt expect the Eighteen column to mention regretfully, the loss of yet another one of us. We lost Tim Withers, one of our youngest, three weeks prior to his 85th birthday. He died on 3 September at Beverly Manor, Laguna Hills, California, on his 55th wedding anniversary.

Tim and his Belgian wife. Marine Juliette van den Berch van Heemstede Withers, met in Belgium in 1927 when Tim and his mother came for the wedding of Tim's brother. Noble '15, to Marie's sister, Simone. One month later Tim and Marie were married and came to Uve in the United States.

Marie had survived the German attack of Belgium in 1914.1n that year we aU recaU the struggle to prepare for Academy entrance examinations.

Tim's preparaton was very special. He had not been a high school student as he worked several years as a House page. In those days, the school for pages had not been established — only DC schools and prep schools were avaUable after working hours. However, Tim joined us in June 1914.

The Lucky Bag points out that while Tim perhaps could not readily write the formula for an elipse, he could mn around such a figure at fiank speed if cinders had been placed there. He did win a big N at track, a feat in itself because as a young chUd, both Tim's legs were badly crushed in the spokes of a moving wagon. His parents were told Tim would never walk again.

A brother, Thomas, was in the Class of '06 and another brother. Noble, was a first classman for whom we as plebes naturaUy had respect. Tim's father gained mUitary training at VMI where he studied under Stonewall Jackson. With such a background, he naturaUy became an officer in the Confederate Army.

Like several Eighteeners, Tim chose to try civil life. Although he had specialized in mechanical engineering at Columbia, he decided to settle in NYC and studied accounting there at Pace College with interest m contract law aspect of accounting. Classmates and other friends could see Tim and meet his new wife when passing through the "Big Apple."

CPA work occupied several years of his time at the start, first with Haskins and Sells, and then with other prominent CPAs and bankers. For about nine years he was treasurer and assistant secretary of Sperry Gyroscope Co, and also he served as secretary of Curtiss Wright. In his more mature years, Tim served importantly with airplane companies, particularly in engine manufacturing. During the late '50s, and also in the '60s he tried real estate in Southern California. Like many other Classmates, he decided to retire completely in July '66.

Then, good health became his principal interest.

Toward the last, he suffered from emphysema and pneumonia. His last two months were spent in a hospital. In spite of all that misery, he kept up his good cheer and consideration for his lovely wife, daughters and friends. Early in his retirement he asked the class secretary to influence Classmates to make no donations in his memory and to send no flowers. His two daughters, Anne Marie and Juliette Madeleine who live elsewhere, were able to spend time with their mother during those sad days. All conformed to Tim's wish that no service would be conducted.

Shipmate, December 1982

His Class was dissatisfied not to memoriaUze a Classmate ever so friendly as Tim Withers. His name has been inscribed in the Book of Remembrance in the nave of the Washington Cathedral for all to see. Moreover, the Class believed that flowers to his widow under the circumstances would not violate Tim's wishes. Her note of appreciaton is printed below.

"To all Tim's Classmates, 1 want to thank each and every one of you for your thoughtfulness in sending the lovely flowers to me expressing your love for Tim. It means so much at this time of severe loss.

Your understanding and sympathy enables me to face these terribly difficult days a little bit easier.

In gratitude and appreciation, Marie J. Withers."

Address Marie: Mrs. Cleemann Withers, 520-N Via Estrada, Laguna Hills CA 92653.

At Fort Myer, screening tests for glasses, glaucoma checks and glasses repairs can be had on a walk-in basis. Maj. Dave Arnot, O.D., responds to the need of retired officers and can furnish glasses. This Optometrist has degrees from one college and two universities. He has practiced at West Point, SHAPE Hospital and at Hawaii.

Birthdays Greetings to Earl Stone, 12/2; Thad Hoppe, 1/2.

19 Sec'y, Capt. G. Laurence Schetky USN (Ret.) 5606 Glenwood Road, Bethesda MD 20817 Percent Members: 87 Again we must start our column with the sad news of the passing of another fine Classmate, David Henderson Clark, who weighed anchor for the last time on 3 September 1982, in Norfolk, Virginia. Dave is survived by his wife, Catharine Hutchinson Clark, a daughter, Mrs. John Rasmussen, two sons, David Clark III, and Morton Hutchinson Clark, eleven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. A complete obituary was given in the "Last Call" section of last month's Shipmate. The news of Dave's passing was telephoned to me by a friend, Mrs. John N. Boland, who also arranged for flowers to be sent to the church in the name of the Class. We are deeply grateful to Mrs. Boland for this kindness.

A most cordial letter comes from "Honey" Kiefer, Dixie's sister, recaUing the time when he commanded the Naval Air Station, Quonset Point, when we had several pleasant times together, before Dixie's tragic death in a plane crash, on December 11, 1945. She also teUs of contacts she has had with former shipmates of Dixie's. She does not plan to come East for our 65th.

A card from Val Schaeffer says that he and Grace will be with us for the 65th. To this date, we have assurance of thirteen Classmates, plus wives and thirteen widows, with some others possible, but doubtful.

Late word is that Gus Bowman has had a stroke, and is now in a nursing home in Arlington, Virginia. The best wishes of the Class for an early and complete recovery are going to Gus. Bill CaUaghan advises of a new zip code number: 20815.

At lunch on 5 October, Dyer, Wynkoop, Rochester and Schetky were present.

20 Sec'y, Capt. C. F. Swanson USN (Ret.) Fairhaven, Apt. B-213, 7200 Third Ave., Sykesville MD 21784 Class Correspondent, Mrs. W. P. Hepburn, 11 B-1 President Point Dr. Annapohs MD 21403 Percent Members: 82 In reply to the Executive Director of the Naval Academy Alumni Association we have submitted a list of class officers and representatives and a comment, in general as follows: Class President — RAdm. C.C. Anderson USN Treasurer — RAdm. M.S. Pearson USN Secretary — Capt. C.F. Swanson Shipmate Correspondent — Mrs. W.P. (Marilyn) Hepburn.

And comment as follows: "As time marches on, and under developing stages of uncertainty concerning ability and willingness of Class members, it has been necessary for the President of the Class of 1920 to appoint as Class Officers any member of the Class who will try to perform the functions of an office for as long as he is able. When an officers finds himself (or it becomes obvious that he is) no longer able to perform the tasks of office, the President of the Class (or a functioning officer) will, no doubt, make an effort to find a replacement and so notify the Executive Director." So, we ask that our Classmates (and widows, or children, or friends) please to keep us informed by messages at convenient times. We need input

by Classmates, and we welcome any communications. We have been helped by and appreciate news from class widows and various friends and relatives, such as Marie Brantly, who just recently alerted us to the hospitalization of Allan Blackledge in Methodist Hospital in Houston.

(Capt. A.D. Blackledge, Rm. 461, Methodist Hospital, 6565 Farmer, Houston TX 77025.) She has since mailed me an amplifying note indicating that Blackie is not ready yet for visitors. Apparently he has good doctors and is well cared for.

His daughter Penny comes from Dallas when she can and is needed to help. He seems to be progressing, but will probably he hosptialized for some time.

And from Mrs. John Heintz (Marguerite) who has sent an interesting and newsy letter in connection with efforts to gain information about the passing of Florence Rathbun and about her own life with John. About John's war duty and his meetings with Classmates — i.e., with Allan Hobbs as Governor of Samoa with John as assistant Governor, and afterward with Johnny Longstaff when he was assistant Commandant of the Naval District in New Orleans. Marguerite has been busy with various activities including developing and displaying novelty daffodils, officiating (including a term as president of) the local Chapter of the National Association of Retired Federal Employees, and helping and keeping track of a large family of two sons, seven grandchildren, and sixteen great-grandchildren (a total, with the inlaws, of 34 names to deal with). Marguerite stiU lives at her same address in Sebastopal, CaUfornia, where she and John Uved. We envy her health and energy and thank her for her kind letter.

Chester Beck was kind enough to send us some amplifying information of Jesse Goode which we missed in the last issue. The information he sent, in part, foUows: "Marge and Roma were two very attractive girls living in Long Beach in the late

73

twenties. Marge married Jesse and Roma married Paul Huschke, Class of '17. Huschke died in 1937 and Roma, with three daughters, moved to Boise, Idaho. Jesse retired from the Navy in 1949 and some years later, when Marge's parents retired, Jesse and Marge took over their very successful ranch in North San Diego Coimty. About 1970 the ranch foreman retired, her parents died, and the Goodes sold the ranch and moved to Encinitas, CaUfornia. For the past ten years Marge had been an inv'aUd. She died in Febmary 1981 and, ever since then, the estate has been in probate, Jesse remarking about the inordinate length of time to settie. This situation may have contributed to his heart attack. The Charles F. Goode you mention ws adopted by them when he was a chUd. During the past fourteen months Jesse made at least three trips to Boise to see Roma, to whom he was devoted."

Dudley Page writes from Frederick, Maryland, also that he stiU feels sad about Jesse Goode. Jesse had hoped to come East for the Army-Navy Game and to -visit the Pages. Dudley and Myrtle apparentiy are not weU enough to make any of the games in AimapoUs and wiU miss Homecoming.

WaDy Dfltanan has sent the Class a very generous check with the foUowing letter. "It seems high time I set up a round of drinks for you wonderful people who by your efforts in AnnapoUs and Washington so effectively keep 'home fires burning' for those of us in far places. You make for an old man a very warm heart! My love to you aU." We wiU aU remember WaUy with a toast at our get-together on Homecoming.

Gatherings of Classmates in September were at Bethesda, Maryland, Moffett Field, California, 74

and Coronado. The Bethesda luncheon on 28th was attended by DoUy Fiugerald, Dee deRivera, Blackie Loker, Sherwood and Bert Smith, Homer and Louise Elmers, Cat and Eleanor Brown, Heber and Nina Brumbaugh, Al and Val Smith, Jim and Margaret Dudley, Vera Houser, Margaret Swigart, Justine Abercrombie, Dorothy RusseU, Gerry Fletcher, Mary C. Leggen, and, visiting from Florida, PhyUis Snackenberg. Seen at the footbaU game with Boston CoUege were Fred Boone, Dee Rivera, Marge and DoUy Fiugerald, Margaret and Jim Dudley, Phronie Barbaro, Doris HamUton, Justine Abercrombie, and Vera Houser. The score against Navy seemed one-sided, but the B-C boys knew they had been in a tough game. It was interesting to us as spectators.

The San Francisco group at Moffett Field on the 23rd included Doc Cooke, Dave Davis, Al Arkush, Johnny McQueen, Kirby and MUdred Kirby-Smith, Norm and Eleanor McKee, Tommy and Cathe Thomas, Paul and Mary Howard, Francenia Ames, Anna Thayer, Irma Nyquist, and associate members of the group. Red and Marian Groves, '20, and BUI and Susie Bennett. Guests were Minerva Ludewig (widow of RAdm. J.W. '25) and BUI and Darla Dobson.

The San Diego group is reported separately by Logan McKee, who, with EUzabeth and daughter, Jane Ingram, were caUed to ShelbyviUe, Kentucky, hi early October by the death of Elizabeth's cousin.

Our Los Angeles group is widely scattered residence-wise, but a mini get-together occurred when Gwen and Raleigh Hales met with Jack BeU in Pasadena last August 29. Raleigh is a great sparkplug for our Class.

Sadly we report the death on September 27 of RAdm. Harold Avery Carlisle of Los Altos HiUs, CaUfornia. " A B " had been twice a widower and is survived by two chUdren, David P. CarUsle of 2042 Potomac Way, San Mateo CA, and Nancy A. (Mrs. J. P.) Solari of 2440 Union St., San Francisco; and stepdaughter, Naidah SuUivan Jordan of Hawaii. Six grandchUdren also survive. FoUowing cremation, his ashes were scattered at sea, which was his wish. "AB", m his retirement years, when not on a trip with Pat, had been a strong supporter of our Class and the San Francisco group. A memorial has been made to the Alumni Association, of which he was a member. Our Class extends our sympathy to his survivors.

A recent roster of Classmates and widows of Classmates who Uve on the East Coast between PhUadelphia and Norfolk was prepared. It had so many omissions that your Secretary is now trying to get together a supplement. The Register of the Alumni Association is a great help in this effort.

Happy New Year, folks!

West Coast News The San Diego Chapter of the Class of 1921 held it regiUar monthly luncheon at the Naval Amphibious Base, Coronado, on Tuesday, 21 September. Present were the following: Paul Abemethy, Jim Baker, Abie Cook, Sydney Dodds, Tom EsUng, Hod Gorry, Logan McKee, Ivan MUler, Tim O'Brien, Stogi Roberts, Sabe Sabin, Don Smith, Leo Stafford, Rex Tallman, Ray Tarbuck and Bunny Wray.

Bris McHugb was on a fishing trip on Rogue River, Oregon, with his family, Tim O'Brien was off to visit a sister, in Massachusetts, and Don Smith is making a long voyage to the PhUippines.

22 Sec'y, Capt. D. H. Johnston USN (Ret.) 3928 N. 36th St., ArUngton VA 22207 Corr. Secy, RAdm. J. L. PraH USN (Ret.) 4000 Mass. Ave. NW, Washington DC 20016 Percent Members: 76 By the time this month's column (written 4th October) goes through the miU: editing, printing, proofing, pubUshing and maiUng, our Sbctieth Reunion wiU have been ended for almost two months and you'U be getting ready for Christinas.

A detaUed report of the gathering wiU not appear until the January-Febmary issue so, to bridge the gap in reporting, here is a historical resmne prepared for the Naval Academy chaplain's information in advance of the traditional memorial service the last day of the Reunion; the material compiled with inputs from Alan McCracken, Don Johnston, Frank Akers, and Harry Pierce: The 971 young men who entered the Naval Academy during the Summer of 1918 came from every State in the Union and about every walk of Ufe. Worid War I was stUl in progress, so there was appeal and stimulation for a naval career. For some it was naval famUy tradition. One had even been bom at the Academy where his father was stationed.

When they graduated in 1922 World War 1 was long since over. The Class had shrunk to 539. Even so, what do do with 539 Academy graduates m a reducing post-war Navy was a problem, so resignations from those inclined to try civiUan pursuits were encouraged. One himdred and eighteen left for "the great outside," as the expression went.

Several became corporation presidents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one headed General Motors. AU retained the patriotic loyalty and dedication acquired at the Academy.

When World War II loomed, the majority returned to the colors and were invaluable. Others, in important positions in war industries, could not leave.

The career members of the Class, with years of experience in every branch of the Service, became key officers in oiu- hastily expanding Navy and served with great distinction. Thirteen were kiUed in action. With genius and scientific bent, a number made major contributions to the development of balUstic and atomic weap)onry, surface and submarine performance, aircraft and carrier techniques, logistics, and cryptology â&#x20AC;&#x201D; critical factors in regaining control of the seas and the eventual defeat of our enemies. Some 250 ships were captained by members of the Class. OthersfiUedkey command and staff bUlets. More than 40 held flag rank.

But let us not cast this history solely in terms of men. The men were supported and inspired by the love and partnership of fine women who endured the strains of service Ufe, raising famiUes, often alone, when they were imable to foUow thdr husbands to their distant assignments.

More than a hundred of the men and women of the Class of '22 are present at this 60th Reunion. Their history covers six decades. Their dedication and esprit de corps through their service years and in retirement have reflected great credit to the Service and to the conununities that welcomed them home.

Fine memorials created by the Class of 1922 are testimonials to their devotion to the Naval Academy and the Naval Service: The beautiful stained glass window in the chapel; their handsome gate to the footbaU stadium; chairs in memory of those lost in action; and the Class Memorial Fund which assists worthy candidates to quaUfy for adShipmate, December 1982

mission to the Academy, thereby contributing to and perpetuating the quality of naval officers in the future.

We include a paragraph from a note from Helen Ingram. Not only is it significant of the burgeoning of our third generation (and fourth), but it typifies the lively interest of so many grandmas: "Our grandson, Henri Gavin, a freshman at Princeton, is rowing today against the Naval Academy at Annapolis. 1 would given anything to be there. 1 went to the Henley Regatta this July to watch his high school crew row against Eton.

I'm rather a nut on rowing, and have done a great deal of canoeing, which I love, but rowing is for watching.

"Please give our best to all the Classmates, and thanks for the efforts of the committee for getting the Reunion under way."

Typical of many letters received from those who would Uke to have been in Annapolis in October but were unable to do so.

As we write this, one hundred and one members are expected in old Crabtown October 15-17. Most are also going to OUver Walker's party on the 14th at the Chevy Chase Club. The number includes the distaff side and half a dozen of the second generation of the Wonderful Class of 1922.

ConneUey USN (Ret.) 544 SUvergate Avenue, San Diego CA 92106 Percent Members: 90 At 1 September Environees lunch were Holderness, Edwards, Moran, Gwathmey, Lewis, Curry, Mclsaac, Strauss, Cutting, Johnson, Pottle, Wadbrook, Withington and Burke, a pretty good turnout from 24 cards returned. It's no news that all from Washington had crab cakes, all from AnnapoUs had something else. Cutting furnished the jokes. Several attendees were young enough to understand them.

Then Wednesday, 6 October, the WashingtonEnvkons Chapter held its FaU Co-Ed luncheon at the Commissioned Officers' Mess, National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda. The conviviality and weather combined to make the luncheon a perfect occasion.

The following twenty-eight ladies and Classmates attended: Jo Ageton, Anne Ammon, Sybil Cook, Winnie and Jim Cutting, Donna Cutts, Lydia and Fred Edwards, Marion and Cabell Gwathmey, George Holdemess, Nell and Jo Johaimesen, Margaret and Henry Johnson, Hazel Keith, Kitty Kem, Betty Lindsay, Nova and Tony Mclsaac, Pat Moran, Val Pottle, Mimi and Vernon Rigler, Mary Spmng, Elliott Strauss, Louise and Fred Withington.

George Holdemess, Chapter President, read a letter of thanks from Dot Walton for the Class' floral arrangement on the occasion of Fred's funeral services at the Naval Academy Chapel, and her appreciation of her many years' association with his Classnlates and the Class ladies. Also, he expressed thanks on behalf of the Class of the West Coast's special contribution of $500.00 to complete payment for new draperies for the 1923 Room at Alumni House.

Shipmate, December 1982

In the early days of October Bobbie Burke went to England to attend her family reunion. It was the first one held in 333 years. She took her husband subject to improved behaviour (sic) and no comments. Unidentified sources report that all relatives had a wonderful time, but the interval between reunions is about right.

No matter who has been the Environees C/S, Karl Hensel has usually supplied most of the Class news. He has several other good traits too. A quote from Karl, "The Governor of Arkansas (you do too remember that state, it is the one we learned the poem about — and now can't remember the words) — the Governor, who also happens to be a Naval Academy grad, has proclaimed oiu county (that's Karl's) to be the fiddle capitol of Arkansas (that's our Karl). Although we live in a quiet spot in the hiUs and woods (not with Karl around, they don't) the quaint and touristy city of Eureka Springs is nearby. September is always one of the big months. The 30th annual banjo rally will soon begin, with 350 players converging from all over the country, along with many banjo bands. It's purpose is to have fun (that's for Karl too) and to preserve the steamboat heritage of the four string banjo. 'Baby Face' and other old songs wiU soon be heard all nite around here. At the same time, the county championship fiddUng (that is fiddling notfididling) contest wiU be going on at Lazy Pierres'. Withal, the mountain jamboree and hoedowners will be deafening, the antique autos will be everywhere, and the frog fantasies (a collection of 5,000 frogs — I don't believe it either) will attract the crowds; plus Country music and many shows. I'll keep an eye out for Bob McCormick and his banjo. (Karl had better be looking for Bear Arnold too.) Note, there is nobody else in our whole class — and maybe not even in '26, that could combine 5,000 frogs with a fiddling contest and conn a Governor into producing the act."

Karl wrote a most interesting letter too; the first several pages were disclaiming his qualifications as a horticulturist and the next 6 pages were proving that he is the experts' expert in horticulture, as well as training frogs in batches. There isn't anybody else in the Class except Ras Rassieur who knows enough about horticulture to understand how Karl has cross-poUinated varieties of Hibiscus to get many brand new varieties, each of which as been registered and which Karl has also named.

Karl carries pictures of Hibiscus like a grandmother does her grandchildren — only Karl can find them right away. If Ras wants to know how to cross a Hibiscus with a water Hyacinth he'll have to ask Karl directly. Don't look for further answers in this column.

Karl did send a most interesting article written by his grandson, David Fields. The young fellow has inherited some of Karl's traits and he is full of baloney too. His article was on the superiority of tobacco chewers and their resultant "macho" reputation. The kid is just learning because he apparently has never heard of the "horse shoe" brand, and he understates the effects of swallowing the cud. He goes to the Univ. of MD though, so he can be forgiven for being overconfident about tabacco. He's going into the Marines so he'U learn real fast.

Karl is teaching David things that will help him be a good Marine. David can aheady box the compass from "Here to There" and is working on "to heU and gone." Karl never volunteered what good that will do a Marine.

Look at the new drapes in the Class of 1923 room in Alumni House. The old ones, which were rescued from the fire about 10 years ago, were getting a bit shabby. The Greater San Diego area Chapter of 1923 most thoughtfuUy sent the $500.00

needed in addition to the $3,912.57 the Alumni Association had left over from the funds the Class donated at the time of the fire.

Everybody knows what a careful and meticulous fellow Jim Cutting is. He is also a little chinchy when it comes to Class funds, as he should be, so Jim went over to inspect the old drapes to see if there wasn't some more mileage in them. BiU Busik had not wasted any time, so he had the new drapes in place before Jim showed up. That would have all been fine but Jim wasn't as careful as he usually is and took down a goodly portion of that brand new beautiful white fence around the Alumni House when he tried to drive off. That fence is the one project that Bill is most proud of. Jim is also scrupulously honest so he went in to confess his sins. Jim's insurance Co. paid for the fence but Jim is warning everybody to stay away from fences, especially white picket ones.

Continuing the Citation for the Navy Cross awarded to 21 members of our Class, and as compiled by BUI Wadbrook: CITATIONS The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Capt. Howard Leyland Young, United States Navy, for service as set forth in the following CITATION: "For extraordinary heroism as Commanding Officer of the USS OMMANEY BAY, as a unit of Escort Aircraft Carriers in action against major ships of the Japanese Fleet in the Battle off Samar, October 25, 1944. An aggressive leader, exceptionally skilled in combat. Captain Young conducted his command gallantly and with courageous initiative, inspiring his officers and men and the OMMANEY BAY air personnel throughout the critical and fiercely fought Battle for Leyte Gulf against a powerful force of Japanese battleships, cruisers and destroyers. His superb seamanship and indomitable fighting spirit in the face of overwhelming odds were important factors in turning potential defeat into a decisive victory over the Central Japanese Force and reflect the highest credit upon Captain Young and the United State Naval Service."

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Como. Roland Nesbit Smoot, United States Navy, for service as set forth in the following CITATION: "For extraordinary heroism as Commander, Destroyer Squadron FIFTY SIX, in action against major units of the enemy Japanese Fleet during the Battle of Surigao Strait, PhUippine Islands, in the early hours of October 25, 1944. Commodore (then Captain) Smoot skiUfuUy directed his squadron into advantageous striking position despite extremely hazardous conditions and, launching a deadly torpedo attack with precise timing on a formidable column of Japanese battleships, cruisers and destroyers, surprised the enemy and rendered him vulnerable to the smashing blows of our hea-vy Naval units. Subsequently retiring without damage from the furious engagement which resulted in the sinking of two Japanese battleships and three destroyers before effective return fire could be brought to bear upon our task force. Commodore Smoot, by his forceful leadership, briUiant professional abUity and indomitable determination in the face of trememdous odds, contributed materiaUy to the decisive defeat of the aggressive enemy force, and his undaunted courage and valiant devotion to duty reflect the highest credit upon himself and the United States Naval Service."

Roland was the recipient of two Navy Crosses, but I was unable to obtain his second Citation.

West Coast News Our September meeting held at die North Island Club was attended by Helen Agnew, Andy Anderson, Murr and Gala Arnold, Madge Chapman, Mike and Peggy ConneUey, Louisa Hederman, BUI and EmeUe Lemly, Mac and Mickey McKinney, and Al Olney.

The main action taken at the meeting was to contribute $500 to the class treasury to cover the cost of the new drapes which were hung in the 1923 Room at Almnni House. The class treasurer. Tommy Tucker, received a warm letter of appreciation from BiU Busik, executive director of the Naval Academy Alumni Association, especiaUy noting that the check came from the San Diego Chapter.

The Class has been stricken this year by the loss of so many of our dear friends and Classmates, aU of whom have been noted in Shipmate. The latest one in this area, we regret to note, is Ralph Woods, who died on 10 August.

In addition to the deaths of so many of our Classmates, we have suffered the loss of Dubie JeckUn, who passed away on 30 July 1982 in Phoenix. Her remains were cremated and her ashes were scattered over the Superstition Mountains.

We join many friends who moum at the death of our good friend Dubie.

Bo Dodson lost his dear Peggy on 21 September in Anaheim. A memorial service was held on 24 September at the Walnut Manor Chapel. Interment services were conducted at the National Cemetery at Riverside, CaUfornia. Peggy had been iU for quite some time. She had suffered from arthritis as weU as a stroke which occurred about a year ago. Our greatest sympathy is extended to Bo in the great loss of his dear wife.

Al Maher wrote us of the death of his beloved Bess. She died suddeiUy of a heart attack at home in BeUeair Beach, Florida, on 28 September. Bess had been iU for some time and at times was bedridden, but did not appear to be in a critical state.

Burial services were held in ArUngton National Cemetery on 1 October. We extend our sincere sympathy to our good friend Al on the sudden and tragic loss of his wife.

Frank Rigler sent us a most interesting article taken from the August issue of Leatherneck. The article teUs of the "Birth of a Patch." The designer of this patch is our own distinguished Classmate, Genera] Bill Twining USMC (Ret.). It is good reading, and as Frank says, "It demonstrates the versatiUty of talents of the members of the Class of 1923."

FoUowing is the report of the Bay Area Fragment of 1923, sent in by Bear Arnold, for which we thank him. The Fragment met for lunch on 15 September at NAS Alameda. Present were: Bear and Alyce Arnold, Red and Annabel Lusignan, BUI and SaUy MendenhaU, Peter and Betty Obninsky, Bert and Mary Shone, Packy and Alice Schade, BiU and Esther Stock, and Charlie and Ruth Walker.

Among the absentees were BiU and Susie Bennett, who were making a trip to the Orient in October. We are glad to report that Adelaide Teuscher is home from the hospital and that Binney WilUamson is weU on his way to recovery from a bad fall suffered at their swimming pool.

The obituary of Philip Henry Ryan in the October issue contained a good deal of his career, but there are some items omitted that are worthy of recaU. He was married in 1932 to AiueUa Halsey Harrison of Lynchburg, Virginia, and they had two chUdren. JuUa Harrison and PhiUp Henry Jr., a member of the Class of 1955, but lost in an aircraft coUision at Corpus Christi, Texas, as an ensign.

Our PhiUp was transferred to the retired Ust in 1940 for physical disabUity (eyesight), but never 76

had a day off because he was recaUed to active duty immediately! Diuing this tour of Navy yard duty he made a brilUant record as engineer-in-charge of the instaUation and initial operation of the main propulsion machinery and all auxiUary engineering machinery on an impressive Ust of ships: one battleship (ALABAMA), two 29,000 ton carriers, six destroyers, three minesweepers, and a number of destroyer escorts, LSTs, and several smaU craft.

Because of his outstanding performance of duty, he was promoted to commander on the retired Ust in 1942 and also was given the honor of "riding" ALABAMA down the ways when she was launched, and he was able to take his nine-year-old son, Philip Jr., along with him.

Our deepest sympathy is expressed to AureUa and daughter Julia.

"I wish you all a Merry Christmas; a Happy and Healthful New Year. We have much to t)e thankful for in the many blessings we have received."

Winnie and Howie Collins left on a Far East trip 26 September. God wiUing, Howie said they expected to be back on 19 October. Plans included Hong Kong, ThaUand and the Philippines, with interim stops in San Francisco and Honolulu.

A thought is advanced that we should attempt to thwart Father Time and not let him cause '24 to disappear from pubUc view. Examples of what is happening: relatively poor attendance at the Washington luncheons. Robillard reports he and Weary Wilkins were the only Classmates present at the September Orlando meeting — Jud Wiley and Keyer were the ones at the Navy-Virginia footbaU game and here Navy played to a packed house of around 30,000 spectators — outside interests keep one from staying too much in home surroundings.

From the New York Times of mid-September: "In tennis they reported, Rosie Casals and Wendy TumbuU began the program by winning the women's doubles crown from Barbara Potter and Sharon Walsh. Then Anne Smith and Kevin Curren took the mixed doubles beating Miss Potter and Ferdi Taygan." Helen and Hans Baldwin mustered their strength and devotion and drove to Flushing Meadow to cheer their granddaughter Barbara. Although Barbara lost both matches, the emotionally drained grandparents returned home tired, but happy and proud of theur talented grandchild. This column would be improved if Ed Woodyard put his English expertise to fuU use for searching out '24 news.

September found Helen Louise and Raoul WaUer in the Mediterranean in ARGONAIIT and they visited Marion and Doc deWolf on the French Riveria. Marion and Doc are happily planted for 19 years on their baronial estate on Cap Ferrat.

Mary Louise and Min MiUer also in September, did the Mediterranean and France, in company with their son Barry, who among other things is in the U.S. Army and parachutes. Then the Millers were on to Lisbon and back through Andalusia, SevUle, and Cordoba, taking a "ferry" from Barcelona to Genoa with short visit at Barry's base and then flight to Greece and Istanbul, returning home from there.

Charles E. McDonald, as a student at Erskine CoUege located in the heart of Due West (SQ (sic) wanted to go to war: WW I, that is. Were it not for the astuteness of the Colonel of his ROTC Unit, he would have tumed down the offer of his Congressman for a principal appointment to the Naval Academy which required that he attend a Prep School before taking the Academy examinations. So, after attending "Bobbie's School" we were fortuante to get him for an esteemed Classmate from Winnsboro close to the Watermelon Capitol of the World — Columbia, South Carohna. Upon graduation he reported to COLORADO where his instinct for engineering sent him below to the BoUer Division. His memory of AustraUa is limited to several rabbit hunts for those long-eared calf-size bunnies. From batdeships to destroyers, he moved over to FARQUAR as gunnery officer and later went below again as chief engineer. Upon the decommissioning of his ship he moved over to TWIGGS. StUl intrigued by machinery, Mac later was assigned to a DD tender and then, logicaUy, he began his postgraduate work in engineering at the Academy. His second year of PG found him at the University of California at Berkeley. AU went weU imtU their professor took his Navy group over to a plant in Oakland to witness a demonstration of a newly designed diesel engine intended for use in smaU Navy boats.

The engine shaft mounted a flywheel stressed for 350 rpms, but with the initial start-up it became a nm-away. At 1850 rpms the flywheel disintegrated with heavy pieces flying upward to bounce off the ceiUng into the Navy obser\'ers. Among those injured was Mac who lost a large section of his scalp. SkiUed surgeons sewed this up over a bridge buUt of strips from his shin bones. The nerves of his left eye were paralyzed, but intensive and lengthy surgical work restored nearly aU of his vision. After several months in the Mare Island Hospital Mac was ordered to inactive duty (1934).

Returning home to Wiimsboro he renewed his interest in agriculture and worked the famUy farm.

Pearl Harbor brought his request for active duty be the reply was "negative." A second request in 1943 brought an "affirmative" with a restriction to shore duty only. The Navy needed a maintenance base in Southern California and set Bethlehem Steel to work at Terminal Island. This project finaUy developed into the Navy Yard at Long Beach. Mac was one of the early plank holders and later became the Yard's penonnel officer. Restricted to shore duty, he never set foot on a vessel underway even though he became assistant Captain of the Yard. Because of the type of ships coming in for repairs he ran into few Classmates. With peace at hand Mac once more retumed to inactive duty.

Back in Winnsboro he joined Rion Crushed Stone Company which produced "The Blue Granite — the SUk of the Trade," cmshed stones which formed the basis for the many modernized highways which appeared in the South after the war. StiU in Winnsboro he shifted to Uniroyal (United Rubber) as assistant to the chief engineer.

In the meantime the famUy fsum became avaUabe as the rental rights expired. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he moved out to the 480-acre farm which by now had been converted into a tree farm, producing wood pulp for varied papers products. So now, Ramona his charming wife, and Mac, have again taken up a rural Ufe, content with their farm, two daughters and five grandchUdren.

Now resting comfortably imder his pine trees Mac has the satisfaction of having survived a nearly tragic death. Mac expresses himself by saying, "I enjoyed my brief Naval service very rauch indeed — The Lord has blessed me weU." Shipmate, December 1982

Persistent effort on the part of Martha and Rollo Wilson, and others, brought together 22 September, at Rossmoor (Leisure World) a group of 26 for the Class Luncheon: Annabelle Ashenhurst, Fred Bell, Helen and Mike Bradley, Lois and Bill BuUis, Howie CoUins, Beau Craig, Edith and Tom Dyer, Alice Farrell, Dot Hartwig, Dot MiUer, Elizabeth and George Montgomery, Fanny and WaUy Petersen, Eddie Rawlins, Mary and Bob SutUff, Dottie and Murray Tichenor, Helen Louise and Raoul WaUer, Martha and Rollo WUson. This meeting, WaUy Petersen announced, would be the last meeting until March 1983.

Thelma Johnson was absent from the meeting because of travel fatigue. Sarah Neale could not get off from her fuU-time position with the State Highway Administrtion of Maryland. Sarah goes to Spain on 26 September on a trip sponsored by the Engineering Society of Baltimore. Dutchie Duke could not make transportation arrangements. St. Clair and Joe Wright were off to Seattie to visit their #2 son and his three daughters.

Gene Rook said, "I've reached the sad state of becoming a creature of convenience and that denies longer than go and return one-day trips." The Rooks said they would join us aU in spirit and sent warm regards to the small miUtitude assembled.

In mid-September, Martha and RoUo WUson were in Denver for the reunion of the former sailors of BUCHANAN which RoUo commissioned in March 1942 and took out to become a fighting ship in the South Pacific in the FaU of '42 and in which RoUo participated in the Battle of Savo Island.

WhUe in Denver, the WUsons spent a half day with Corinna and Bob Matthews. Corinna is involved in many community endeavors. Bob is a master of a card game, "Geronimo," new to the WUsons.

A variation in trips: — by air to Stockholm via Copenhagen, — Sightseeing in and around Stockholm and ship to Helsinki; tour southern Finland ending in Turku-return Stockholm and Copenhagen and then by ship to Oslo; by train to Flam and then by fjord steamer to Gutvangen; by bus to Stalheim and on to Bergen alongside the Fjords and home. Dot Hartwig, Stacy WUson, Martha and RoUo WUson took this trip. It wiU be a good geographical test to find these places on the map and occupy a Uttie of your time during the Winter.

Bill Stone, one of our Army Colonels writes: Dick Playter, my good friend and roommate aboard TENNESSEE, is now a gentieman farmer outside Easton, Maryland. He speciaUzes in raising golden retrievers." Dick is now recovering from a major hip operation. We wrote Dick and told him had no knowledge of his farming and canine endeavors and Dick replied: "You should know that BiU Stone is inclined to exaggerate a bit. The operation is factual: complete replacement of arthritic left hip join with apparent slow recovery, but according to plans says my Doctor. As to the gentleman farmer bit, our farm is 2'/2 acres of the prettiest waterfront in Talbert County. My farming consists of keeping the grass mowed. My golden retriever experience involved the raising of one Utter of 9 of which we kept and stUl have one female now 12 years old, stUl a very able retriever.

And another activity: we shoot Canada geese, which are here in abundance, but ducks are very scarce." The geese and ducks made the decision for Julie and Dick to settle in Easton.

Bob Satliff has forwarded to the Midshipmen Welfare Fund, the contribution of '24, designated for the exclusive use of the 24th Company. Bob has assured the Company Officer and Midn. Brian Kulick of our continued interest.

Martha and Red Ruhsenberger are back to Largo, Florida, from a visit to oldest granddaughter in Petersburg, Alaska. Red's oldest son is in Seattle and Red's daughter-in-law in Oregon, where they enjoyed deUcious plums of the area and Dungeness crabs which the Ruhsenbergers caught themselves.

THE DIRECTORS OF THE CLASS SEND WARM GREETINGS AT THIS MERRY SEASON TO ALL OF THE CLASS!

25 Sec'y, Capt. George F. O'Keefe USN (Ret.) 2003 Glen Dr., Belle Haven Alexandria VA 22307 Columnist: RAdm. Schuyler Pyne USN (Ret.) 259 Providence Road, Annapolis MD 21401 Percent Members: 86 Here we are at Christmastime and the end of another year again. They surely roll by with increasing speed and it doesn't seem possible that sixty years ago we were looking forward to our youngster years 10-day break in the routine of Naval Academy life. So to each and every one of you surviving Twenty-fivers, and to all those affiUated with the Class, we wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Let us all hope that in the next 12 months the good Lord wUl see fit to grant to us the health, wealth and strength to carry on in this vale of tears for at least that time in a pleasant and fruitful manner. And to all our friends and associates who may read these words, we wish the same.

A most enjoyable mixed Class luncheon was held at the Bethesda Officers' Club on 16 September with 37 good people present. Among those there were some locals with wives, viz., Benson, Cash, Ford, Loomis, MarshaU, Naquin, Pyne and Robinson. Out-of-area people were the Blackwells with delightful daughter, Betsey Fowler, in tow, the M.R. Petersons, the Turners and the Vo Kleecks. Local widows were Car Beecher, Marge Broadley, Louise Clark, Jane Cronin, Barbara Delaney, Neil Hurd and Tini Stryker. Steadies were the Anne Tonseth — Red Slaven duo and Jean Burrowes and her beau Bill SiUlivan. And we were very pleased to have Marge Broadley bring Maude Eakin of Washington, whom the Class adopted on a couple of Alumni cruises in the past few years. There were a few items of business brought up by Class President Henry Ford, among these being an announcement that the coed Christmas party wUl be held 9 December at the USNA Officers' Club, for which reminders will go out to area and nearby persons.

If you don't get one, come along if you are around, but try to let Red Slaven know. During the luncheon a get-well card for Woolsey Johnson was circulated for signature because at the time he was in the Naval Hospital in Bethesda undergoing treatment for a malignancy which he had developed.

At the luncheon we learned that Kay and Kent Loomis just cannot be kept at home but must continue their travels, so often to unusual places. So it was that in August they joined a National Press Club tour to Brazil, all by air, first visiting the Amazon Valley river port of Manaus which was made ino a great city with splendid public works and an opera house by the rubber trade around the turn of the century. It is still an important center. Next they viewed the capital of Brazil, Brasilia, an ultramodern city, carved, like Washington, out of the wilderness to be the seat of government. Next, the seacoast city of Salvador (we called it Bahia in school, we think) which is the oldest city in Brazil (1547) and the capital before Rio and Brasilia. Finally, they went to Rio which, of course, hs everything. Pretty nice trip!

We had a nice letter from Terry Cowie's widow, Marjorie, giving us the first news of that family we have had for some time. Seems the granddaughter, Terri Anne Ulses, is now a ensign in the Navy Nurse Corps and stationed at Long Beach Naval Hospital. Terri Anne is the daughter of Col. (USMC) and Mrs. Robert J. Ulses, and her brother Robert Junior is a member of the Class of 1985 at West Point where he is on the football squad hoping to get into the A. and N. game. We haven't heard too much about our Classmate Terry in the years since graduation. The only reference in any Class publication is in the Silver Quiver in which it simply says that he went to PENNSYLVANLA upon being commissioned and completed a PG course at Columbia. From data on file at Alumni House we have learned that he served in destroyers, the Asiatic Station (twice), at PG work and in a great variety of sea and shore jobs, retiring as a Captain USN in June 1951. He died in July 1975 after Uving in Oakland, California, where Marjorie stUl lives at 420 Burk Street, 94610. They had three daughters and 10 grandchildren.

Acting on the information that we gave in the September Shipmate that Bob Clark's wife Ruby is in a nursing home with Alzheimers disease, Charlie SUsbee, whose wife Rose is similarly afflicted, wrote to Bob to console him. Bob replied with a very nice letter of which we have received a copy. Apparently the Clark home in Emerald Bay, California, was getting too much for them, so they moved to Leisure World five years ago.

Recently, Ruby found that she could no longer carry on and was becoming quite immobile and vague, so Bob has put her in a rest home where she is receiving good care. Bob says he and his family members visit Ruby frequently as they all live close by. To keep his mind active. Bob plays a lot of bridge, often with Mary MacKinnon as a partner. Mary lives just around the corner, Flo and Bill Standley next door, and Carol Melgaard fairly near too. As Bob says, the so-called golden years of Ufe can be trying, and we all must admire the philosophical approach Bob and Chariie have taken toward their problems.

Continuing on with more news gatherings from Charlie, he enclosed a mid-September letter from Count Thomson and the tales from that quarter are not too good. On 31 July Count's wife Evelyn had a mild stroke and Evelyn's son. Dr. Leon Woods, was called in. While the doctor was attending his mother. Count had a heart seizure. Dr. Woods thereupon bundled them both up and sent them to Sparks Regional Medical Center, 120 mUes northwest of Tulsa. As of the date of Count's letter, Evelyn had been put in a nursing home in Ft. Smith, Arkansas and Count, after several weeks of hospitalization, has returned to Tulsa, albeit a bit weak and shaky. We are distressed to get all this disturbing info and hope things will be looking up soon.

Also enclosed were several letters from Harry Shiver and a bunch of cUppings from Arkansas newspapers, all about the Arkansas vs. Navy football game. These write-ups were very detailed and gave Navy a lot of good publicity and credit. Harry did not see the game but got it on the radio. We have tumed these letters and clippings over to the Athletic Association for its use.

Apparently Charlie has established a Une of communciation with George Phillips "way down East" in Maine, for he sent in a copy of a long epistle from George. There is certainly nothing wrong with George's memory as he goes into great detail about his life in and out of the Navy from midshipman days to the present. He names many Classmates and others with whom he served or whom he relieved. He had a fascinating career, most of the detaUs of which are given in the various Quivers, but to bring the record up-to-date Una and George are enjoying life in New England, and their three sons, two of whom are West Pointers, are doing well. Two grandchildren are in West Point, one of whom is a young lady. He ends his letter with the following: "It is a long time since we marched to the drumbeat of the Hell Cats and groped for our laundry bags on Saturday evenings in Bancroft HaU. Ours was a great Class, and don't think any other Class gave more to the country's service."

A nice note from Lee Weston's wife, Irene, to Charlie congratulates the latter on his active work as a senior citizen and correspondent for the Class of 1925. To quote her, "All I can say is, good for you! and how much richer your life must be for giving so much of yourself to others." We heartily concur with Irene in these sentiments.

magazine Sea Power. The midshipmen were also told about Mary MacKinnon's plan to present to the wardroom a copy of a painting of Ran MacKinnon's WW II destroyer FANNING by the noted marine artist Beaumont. This is another most gracious gesture by Mary and the picture will be presented, with appropriate ceremony, sometime this Winter. At the meeting reported here the recipients appeared to be very grateful for all favors.

Several of us Twenty-fivers here in Annapolis had the pleasure of seeing Fran Grimes at a prefootbaU game luncheon in September. She was there with her escort, Ray Wright, whom we mentioned in a recent Shipmate. Otherwise, at the first two local games this Fall we have seen almost no affiliates from out-of-town. Maybe it will pick up at Homecoming.

Impressive also was the fact that 86% of the entering class scored between 600 and the maximum 800 on the math 'SAT' scores; 80% of the Class had participated in varsity athletics in high school, with 75% of them having won their varsity letters there.

Shipmate, December 1982

After the launching, the Todd Shipyard hosted a very elaborate reception and lunch at the Hyatt Long Beach Empire Room, where all '26 representatives joined together at two round tables. Don concluded his letter by saying that it was an outstanding event.

Kenny Craig and the "Class Agents" he appoints each year in support of the Annual Alumni Association Fund Drive, have done it again.

1926 had 145 donors contributing to the highest total contribution ever received by the Alumni Association in the drive ended 30 June, 1982; $552,701.

These funds, contributed by Alumni, have for many years given the Superintendents of the Academy considerable flexibility to adapt to changing requirements in making available to the midshipmen a number of improvements to their training and education not possible from public funds voted each year by the Congress. As both a former Superintendent and President of the Alumni Association, this CS has personal knowledge of the value of this annual Alumni contribution to the Academy.

The Naval Academy Foundation has announced, among others, the Class of 1926 Honor Scholar as Kris W. Hillstrand, of Kensington, Connecticut. He graduated from BerUn High School, BerUn (CT), in the top 25% of his class, lettered three years in footbaU and two in basebaU, emd was a member of the Student CoimcU. He also attended the University of Connecticut, where he demonstrated his abUity to do college work.

The sad news this month is the death of RAdm. WUUam A. Dolan, Jr., USN (Ret.) on 24 September 1982. He had been living in Deerfield Beach, Florida, but was buried in the Naval Academy Cemetery on 1 October. BiU is survived

by Lucy and their two chUdren to whom the Class extends deepest sympathy.

Also it is my sorrowful duty to report the death of Capt. Henry T. Hodgskin USN (Ret.) who passed away on 1 October 1982 at the Yale-New Haven Hospital. He is survived by his wife Laura, who Uves at Box 553, RED 1, Mystic CT 06355.

The deepest sympathy of the Class goes out to Laura.

Short SpUces Our Classmate's son Como. Burnham C. McCaffree, Jr., U.S. Navy, has been detached as Commander Amphibious Squadron 2 and is now director, MobUe Logistics Support Force, Amphibious, Mine, and Advanced Naval Vehicles Ship Division in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, in Washington.

Bill and Claudia Smedberg, Charlie and Kathleen Buchanan In mid-September the Smedbergs visited Kack and Charlie Buchanan at their gorgeous summer home, "Flemish Down," on Bellevue Avenue in Newport.

Christening/launching ceremonies of KIAKHDJC It was KLAKRING day at Bath on Saturday, 18 September. John F. SuUivan, Chairman of Bath Iron Works, hosted a major celebration of Navy, shipyard and community leaders to honor the memory of Burt Klakring, one of our outstanding submarine skippers of WW II, by naming FFG-42, a magnificent new frigate, USS KLAKRING. The sponsor was Beverly Bohen of Napa, California, niece of Lois and Burt Klakring. The family from AnnapoUs were well represented by cousins; Janet Klakring Sharp, Anita and Raymond Klakring, Marjorie Klakring Stevens, her husband George F. Stevens and their Navy children, Connie and Richard A. Stevens '75.

Tom HamUton arranged to have Marion and Don Griffin represent Burt's many Classmates who would have liked to be there. Others attending were Ellen and Charlie Tooke, Knick Knickerbocker, Betty and BUI RoyaU and LuciUe and Jake Sheaffer.

Mrs. Bohen and her husband Paul were routed out at an early hour on launch day morning to see the wedges rapped up to prepare KLAKRING for launching. Later they had lunch with Sally and Chuck Mull '50 who entertained the PCO, Peter B. Snyder and his wife Linda and Sally's parents, the Tookes. Yes, the Sponsor arrived at the shipyard on time!

The principal speaker was the Honorable David F. Emery, United States Congressman from the 1st District of Maine. Dempster M. Jackson '52, Deputy Director of Combat Systems Directorate, Navsea, spoke on behalf of the Navy Department.

The weather was perfect in every way and so was the launching. Wish you could all have been there! And as a final note: it is of interest to see that Burt Klakring earned three Navy Crosses, the

Silver Star Medal, the Bronze Star Medal, and the Presidential Unit Citation as a submarine skipper and division commander during World War II. The Class extends its sympathy to the widow of our Classmate, Kenton Edson Price, Captain USN (Ret.), who died on 4 September 1982 in Cleveland, Ohio. Red had suffered from cancer for 22 months, and had put up a real fight until cardiac arrest took its toll, while being treated at the Cleveland Clinic. In addition to his wife Rita he is survived by daughter Eloise Cole, son James Edson Price and daughter Mary Price and six grandchildren.

The Northern California Clan held its quarterly gathering at Fleet Admiral Nimitz Club, T.I., on 11 September 1982 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a luncheon. Attending: Betty and Heinle Armstrong, Lorene and CharUe Beasley, Nina Blake, Helen Dyson, Edie and Bob Ford, "Coach" WiUiam GuUett, Helen and Gene McKinstry, Beverly and Marshall Smith, Helen Todd, and Virginia Walsh. The Clan Chief (Heinle) reported the death of Edward "Ned" J. Maher on 25 August 1982. Heinle also reported that our Classmate, RAdm. Selman "Biff" S. Bowling crept into the area and stole clan member Katherine, widow of Richard Wagner and took her off to Corpus Christi, Texas, where they became husband and wife. Congratulations to the lovebirds. Edie and Bob Ford reported on their recent trip to Spain and Portugal with an artist group to photograph and sketch. Edie has a fine coUection of her water colors displayed in the Fleet Admiral Nimitz Club. Bob had suffered a mild stroke that put him in the hospital for awhile. He is taking exercises at the hospital. Keep up the good work. Bob. The next gathering, a luncheon, will be held on Saturday, 22 January 1983.

The Washington-Annapohs members held their class luncheon on 23 September 1982 at the " O " Club in Bethesda with 40 present. Attending: Mary Lee and George Anderson, Betty and Bob Barnes, Louise Bennett, Ruth and Bob Bristor, " M " and Frank Bruner, Gordon Caswell, Alice and Tim Donohue, Peg Edsall, Elizabeth and Mate Faigle, Mimi and Joe Hazen, Sue and Pat Henry, Bob Hinners, Tayo and Miles Hubbard, Carolyn and BUI Irvin, Ruth and Joe Maher, Virginia Milburn, Bert and Bob Quackenbush, Ruth and Dick Schumm, MaryLou and Bobby Snyder, Carl Steiner, Charlie Tooke, Blinn Van Mater and his guest Ileana Henderson, and Betty Zahm. Billie Wev and friend Katherine Reeside, (widow. Class of 1923) were welcome visitors. Bob Barnes substituted for Don Griffin (who was still at his summer residence in New Hampshire) in chairing the meeting. Bob reported the death of Classmate Kenton Price. Bert Quackenbush is recovering from a long bout with hepatitus.

Louise Bennett reported that son Holmes T. Bennett was married on 15 May 1982 in San Antonio, Texas to Tao, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Atlee Chittim. Holmes is an attorney-at-law and Tao will get her master's in special education.

The March meeting wiU be held on the 24th and the date of the May meeting will be announced later.

GUI Richardson reports from the San Diego area that "A.L." Cooper, Classmate CUff's wife, had died on 23 September. Her ashes were to be buried in Broad Run, Virginia. Born in Virginia, "A.L." received her B.A. from Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland, and went on to teach school in Vicksburg, Mississippi, and Annapolis. In addition to CUff, survivors are a son, CUfford S. Jr., of Dallas, Texas, a daughter, Laura Kuhn, of Santa Barbara, CaUfornia, sbc grandchUdren and three sisters.

Jane Willcox, who with "Wash" celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary last May 12th, had been in failing health since last March, suffered a small stroke in early July, made a complete recovery, but about three weeks later suffered a massive stroke from which she could not recover and died on 1 August. A beautiful memorial service was held for her at AU Souls Episcopal Church in San Diego on 4 August, attended by her many friends and just about all of our Classmates and their wives in the area. Jane had had a very close association with that church for many years, especially with the Women of the Home Tours to which she devoted a great deal of energy, time and effort. She will be greatly missed by all of us.

In the September issue of Shipmate there was a statement in the 1927 column that Mike Honsinger may be the last of our Classmates still active (though not with the Navy). Wrong. We have Larry Freeman, Gill Richardson, Frank Giambattista, Joe Maher, Dick Wilkinson, and Dan Latimore stiU involved. There may be others.

The San Diego Group held a luncheon at the Admiral Kidd Club on 31 August. Thirty-two were present: Cece Caufield, Bobby and Clarence Coffin, Dorian and Jim Cohn, Cliff Cooper, Frances and Ziggy Dawson, Dale and Tommy Flynn, Tom Hamilton, Mary Jane and Jim Hogg, Madeline and Harry Hummer. Erika and Meade Kitchen, Dick Levin, Ken Keepers, Alice Manville, Kalene and Tammie Massie, Mims McKinney, Walter Price, Patsy and Gill Richardson, Nadine and Roily Robinson, Oley Sharp, Anne and Alan Sutherland, and Madalyn Thach. AU were amazed and delighted to have Madeline Hummer back after a long siege of illness at home and many trips to the hospital. Dutch Deutermann missed the luncheon because he was in the Balboa Hospital for the replacement of an artificial hip joint which had been implanted years ago and which just plain "wore" out.

Ed Eckelmeyer reports from the L.A. group that they had resumed their monthly meetings after the summer hiatus with a trip to the Missile Test Center at Pt. Mugu. Present were Bill Kern, Dutch Woelfel, Harry Tallman, Red Scoles, Gardner Grout, Bill Nation and Ed Eckelmeyer. Harry arranged the trip with his son Jack (USNA '55) who commands the Air Station there. During the visit a delightful and delicious luncheon was arranged

by Capt. Jack Tallman's attractive and talented wife, Carol, at the quarters of the Commanding

Officer. Shown from left to right: Kern, Woelfel, TaUman, Capt. Jack Tallman, C O . NAS, Pt. Mugu, and son of Harry, Nation, Eckelmeyer, Scoles, Grout and RAdm. J.B. Wilkinson '52, COPMTC.

In early September, Blair and your C/S participated in a delightful bus and ferry tour from Seattle through the Canadian Rockies to Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper, Vancouver, and Victoria. It was the Johansen "Royal Canadian Adventure Tour," and it lived up to its name. For those of us who had not been up to this area before, it covered everything, including complete morning and evening meals. To have done it individually by car would have cost us two to three times as much, with a lot of fuss and frustration! (Your C/S' frustration: having enough film to take all the interesting scenes!)

Mjirtha and Tony Bracken '55 have moved in next door to our dockside on Lake Barcroft. They have so improved their property that Micky is changing standards for your secty's small leisure time.

Looking out the window, she sees Tony carrying railroad ties, cradled in his arms, to terrace his estate. "Wake up and fix our dockside like the other men do!" she says. Two doors down the other way, George Peckham '31 is instalUng walks and a dozen beautiful Chinese Ughts on his terrace and dockside. "I'm ashamed to have guests see our yard!" Micky cries. Has anyone in '29 developed a defense against this revolting action of neighbors?

While in Virginia Beach in September, we received permission from Roy Johnson to print part of an old letter from him. Here it is: "1 am reminded of a meeting I had with Clair MUler — as a matter of fact it was the last time I ever saw him. This was during WW II out in the Pacific, of course, when Clair was air officer in the carrier TICONDEROGA and

Prior to dinner we went ashore on good 'ol Mog Mog Island to have a few beers. As I remember, the only Classmates we saw were Kenny Huchinson and Whitey Bacher, in the midst of a terrific crap game.

"After a few cool ones we went back to the Tico and had dinner. As some of you may recall, Clair could, among his several diversified talents, turn on a bit of phUosophy. This time it was about the Class of '29 and how we had never been a real 'togethemess' group while at the Academy — had a more or less 'battalion clannish' attitude. His big point was that '29 was a great group of individuals, with talent, potential, integrity, character of one sort or another, but people simply

A few days later I was witness to the Tico, less than 1000 yards from HORNET, take a direct hit on her bridge from a kamikaze. That was the end of Clair. I think he would be pleased today to see how far we have come together, as evidenced by the outstanding success of our reunions. Roy." The Washington lunch gang is slowly returning from summer dissipation abroad. Mary and Win Brown arrived from their lovely peninsula place in Maine, where they have vainly invited '29ers to stop with them. Ann and Gus Johansen are back from a long stay in Ocean Beach, where Gus does no housework — best season yet. Which reminds us — it wasn't so far back that in early Fall we would head up to the Appalachian Trail with whatever grandkids we might have and stop by the Frank Schwables' Black Angus Farm near Round Hill. There they had a whole unused wing to their big farmhouse containing a dozen or more small rooms. Bev said that in the old days, aU of Washington fled the city heat and vacationed in modest farm rooms. Now, after twenty-six years of delivering calves around Christmas time and auctioning them in the FaU, they have "moved into town," Purcellville, Virginia.

It seems that half our old friends have left us and have given their names to ships. Mary Brown sends a card from the launching of the FFG

Shipmate, December 1982

Corr. Sec'y, Capt. Herbert H. Marable USN (Ret.) 100 Askewton Rd., Round Bay Severna Park MD 21146 Percent Members: 88 Have just received a letter from Capt. Donald A. McRae USNR, Southeast Pennsylvania, Area Coordinator, USNA Blue and Gold program, the essentials of which are reflected in the following:

Walt Jenkins with wife Ann and daughter Pat at presentation of USNA Commandant's award "Walt Jenkins was recently honored by the Naval Academy for his outstanding work with the Blue and Gold program. At the annual fall meeting of the Southeast Pennsylvania Blue and Gold, Walt was presented the Commandant's Award as the area's number one Naval Academy Information Officer. He was cited for 'outstanding and dedicated service to the Naval Academy, the Alumni Association and the hundreds of young people he has counseled over the years.' The beautifully engraved plaque was presented by Lt. Clint Pagano USN '77, regional director from the Candidate Guidance office at the business/social luncheon held on 12 September 1982 at the Officers' Club, NAS WiUow Grove." Speaking for the Class of 1930, we should Uke to extend our congratulations to Walt for a job well done!!

A short note in from Harry Verhoye reports on the activities of the Class of 1930 Southwest Area which seem to reflect the usual luncheon activities.

At the same time received another letter from the same area which included some pictures taken at the last two lunches in August and September.

Have chosen those pictures which I think wiU maximize the coverage of those present, names under each picture. The white table cloth party was at MCRD, the red at Pendleton. The Pendleton party was a particularly memorable occasion. The Commanding General up there — beUeve his name was Robinson — had been a captain at the Pentagon when Fog Hayes was a General there. He really put on a show, a fine luncheon at the BOQ (with orderlies to help those in need), an amphibious tractor demonstration, and a special display with planes and crew at the air field, along with several briefings, including one by Robinson.

As to personal goings on: "Fred Lucas is leaving the San Diego area permanently to settle in Sedona, Arizona. Bill Sheely spent a week out here, mainly for a check-up by his favorite Navy doctor. Dr. Holmes, but has gone back to Norfolk now. Martha Beans has moved out here permanently and is staying at the Oakwood Gardens in Coronado while house hunting. Don't forget the 52/2 REUNION. Fred Bradman is doing a wonderful job organizing it. At last report he had 178 signed up to attend." Those attending the last get-together were: Boyle, Bradman, Brumby, Burden, Chappie with guest, Arturo MoUnO, Coates, Dornin, HarreU, Frank Johnson, Kinert, Lauver, Lucas, Newton, McKnight, Moreno, Ruddy, Bill Sanders, Seargeant, Trower, Verhoye and Wagner. Stories were exchanged — sure wish some would be passed on to your secretary!

It is with much regret that your secretary must pass on to you word of the deaths of two more of our class. BUI Ellis in Norfolk on the 26th of September and Capt. WUliam Frank Wesanen in Pensacola on the 30th of August, 1982.

Last month we discussed a letter and 'old' pictures from Roscoe Newman. This month, with any luck at all, the picture is reproduced. The picture was kept in his Mother's album and shows the flight elimination class in Norfolk in the early Summer of 1930. The entire class (second and third rows) is made up of members of the Class of 830 — a very handsome group, alert in mind, rosy of cheek, and short of ties.

And stiU another shows a handsome group ready to take on the world.

MERRY CHRISTMAS — ONE AND ALL!!

AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Shipmate, December 1982

Johnny Just died on 23 September in a nursing home in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, and was interred in Lawn Cemetery, Guilford, Maine. His widow, Florence, plans to stay on in their Abbot Village home for the present.

Dub Johnson lost his dear wife, Helen, on 5 October, in Sarasota, Florida, after a long illness. Interment was in Arlington National Cemetery with relatives, friends and Classmates in attendance.

Dub and Helen's son, Harlan T. Jr., was the last child born to a '31 couple.

November Shipmate reported on Carlotta WUUams' death; Henry (Bill) Williams has provided some additional information: Carlotta died of acute leukemia after little warning except a brief illness. A memorial service was held at St. Luke's Church on Hilton Head Island, where she and BiU were communicants. Interment in Arlington National Cemetery followed a memorial service in Ft. Myer Chapel. PaUbearers were her cousins John Vest (USNA '22), Jim Young (USMA '44), Col. Bob Maloit and Tom Shanks; BUl's cousins Dick WUUams (USNA '32) and Clag Claggett (USNA '35), and Ray Hunter, Don WUber, Jack Fitzgerald and Jack Parham. Carlotta's great-granduncle was Colonel Robert Means Thompson USNA 1886 for whom Thompson Stadium was named.

Travelers Virginia and Johnny Webster are back home in Chevy Chase after an enjoyable Mediterranean cruise that took them to Athens, the Greek Islands, Dubrovnik, SpUt, Trieste, Florence, Pisa, Naples, Capri, Pompeii, Sorrento, and Rome. They just missed contacting Maria Demetropolis in Athens — her phone was temporarily out. Marge and Lou Bellis report that they had a memorable 7-day cruise aboard the newly-buUt M.V. ATLANTIC from New York City to Bermuda, returning 4 September. Cruising seems to be an annual event with Marge and Lou . . . wasn't it China last year?

Carol Moore sent a postcard from Britain where she is visiting, and wrote on it: "This is a charming country but the prices are sky-high-don't see how the natives afford it! Makes home look twice as good." Barbara and Red Ramage visited Cape Cod this last Summer and saw Jessie Bell and Ed MacDonald, and talked with Dick Hay before his move to the West Coast.

Alumni Association 1982 Fund Drive — as you wiU see in the complete report elsewhere in this issue, we as a Class continue to do well in the matter of donations. We are in the top ten classes in dollar amounts and in percent of donors; our actual figures being: FY Dollars Donors 1978 190 8720 1979 8834 172 194 1980 9554 1981 168 9026 1982 12868 159 Proposed 52^2 Reunion on West Coast — Responses to the proposal for a reunion on the West Coast in 1983 have been few in number, and at best were lukewarm to the idea. Since such events require a great deal of advance planning and arranging, it seems only right to tell Andy HUl and Lon Bellis now that class sentiment is not favorable to the idea and that no further action is proposed.

We aU appreciate their offers to undertake the difficult task . . . but let's all save ourselves for a grand and glorious 55th instead!

Chick Chandler went back to Letterman Army Hospital in the Presidio of San Francisco for heart by-pass surgery, scheduled for 12 October. In a phone conversation with him on 7 October he seemed very cheery . . and by the time you read Shipmate, December 1982

this we all hope he will be back home in Los Osos, California, and calling up Classmates through his ham radio station WB6TXT. Alcron Beckmann hasn't been heard from for some time . . . so before he hibernates for the Winter a letter went to him asking for a SITREP . . . we miss the quarterly Beckmanngram he used to put out, but he says that's too much for him right now.

These two pictures are from the Class of 1929 Lucky Bag — do you recognize them?

32 Sec'y, Capt. Terrell A. Nisewaner USN (Ret.) 7121 Helmsdale Road, Bethesda MD 20817 Percent Members: 84 "Here and There With '32" No one in the Class has covered the highways, byways and waterways of the world with a greater verve and a greater challenge than Modoc Sunderland. Quite frequently, but not always, he is accompanied by the patient and intrepid other half and this last Summer was only another in a long, long series of adventures.

Modoc and Louise Sunderland report their surviving a sixty-three day sailboat trip from Annapolis via the C and D Canal and thence through a bit of ocean to New York. Then it was up the Hudson to Troy, west on the Erie Canal, north to Oswego, and east on Lake Ontario to the Thousand Islands. From that stopping point it was north on the Rideau Waterway to Ottawa, south on the Ottawa River, east on the St. Lawrence and south on the Richelieu. Then followed a week on Lake Champlain, south by canal to Troy and thence the Hudson River again and a return retracing the initial route.

Modoc and Louise had a grandson the first week, but otherwise it was just the two of them.

They slept aboard sixty-three nights, ate lightly (sometimes ashore), worked through ninety-nine locks by Modoc's account or one hundred by Louise's account. In addition, they raised or lowered the mast six times and are still talking to one another.

Notable stops were the Big Apple (New York) . . bad, Ottawa and Montreal . . fine. Lake Champlain . . splendid. West Point . . good and Yonkers . . interesting. Modoc reports that they saw lots of water scenery, marinas, forts and history. A vote on a repeat trip ended in one "Yes" and one " N o . " You figure which is which.

Jack Counihan is now back in Texas on a full time basis but he reports that his relationship with the Moroccans is still very good. As they were departing initially from Tangier after leaving the Port Lyautey Base he was given full military honors by the French and as they were in line to embark on the Tangier ferry to Europe they were stopped by the Moroccan police who asked them to wait. They were then told that they would be the last to embark and the first to leave the ferry

on the other side. They then wished them, in the name of His Majesty, bon voyage, a safe voyage home and an early return.

Jack and Frances, of course, did return and make Tangier, Morocco, their home and headquarters for many years until a severe medical problem eventually resulting in her death caused their return to the United States.

Jack is proud of the fact that when they did return in 1970 and were living in Tangier he was able to win the local golf amateur championship for five years in a row from 1971-75.

One of Jack's last efforts in his long continuing friendshp with the Moroccans was saving the American Consulate in Tangier. It was on the "hit list" to be closed but Jack felt that it was an unwise decision. Having spent a year in the Senate from 1964 to 1965 he was familiar with the system and tackled the job head on. The property of the American Consulate in Tangier was valued at five to six million dollars and there were no takers.

There were no other Consulates to which Americans could turn in any nearby area. The Moroccans wanted the United States to stay; hence. Jack, on his return to the United States, saw the responsible Senator, explained why we should not abandon the Consulate and expressed the feeling of the Moroccans who did not want us to leave. The result was the retention of the Consulate much to the reUef of both sides.

On the occasion of Jack's latest departure to become a Texan the Consulate General in Morocco sent him a very splendid tribute: "On behalf of the American community of Tangier, I wish you happiness and contentment in a new phase of your life in Texas.

"I know you will have fond memories of the Kingdom of Morocco. You have done much to contribute to our good relations here. You have been a great friend to this Consulate General, and you will be sorely missed."

A note from Joe McGoldrick indicated that we have another Classmate who hasn't shaken any of the salt from his veins. He commented that my letter of July 15th finally reached him September 18th during a mail run into town at Hamble Point, Honts, in the middle of the Solent. He had been in England since May 23rd and, having received no copies of Shipmate, was out of touch.

After searching England's south coast and as far north as Norwich, he finally bought his dream boat — and she is a beauty — an Ocean 37, twinscrew diesel yacht. If he could be assured of blue skies, smooth following seas and a Texaco or Chevron petrol station selling diesel about every 500 miles he would head for the Cheapeake Lightship and drop anchor in Spa Creek just in time for the first "KT's" and the gala Reunion.

However, neither Elizabeth Regina nor Diane wiU assure the above, so, very sadly Joe will miss the Golden Jubilee.

Gladly, though, Joe has just punched his crystal ball and is assured that the organizational climate for the Reunion will be fair, seas smooth and a helluva lot of buU splashing about.

Joe sent his regrets to the gang and extends an open invitation to any adventuress souls who can "meet him at Port St. Louis" where the Rhone fuses with the Med, at the Golfo de Rosas, or even Cannes, Antibes, Nice or Monte Carlo. He can be contacted on RT channel 16, call CHRISTINA, anywhere West of 20° East. CHRISTINA is the name of his new waterborne home.

A letter from Brute Dale out in Palo Alto indicated that he and Lylia would miss the big affair but hoped that everything was going along OK for the 50TH Reunion. Brute was just out of the hospital after a prostatectomy which was made 83

necessary after a prolonged problem and a rough trip to Egypt in April. He was down to 112 lbs. on his release from the hospital but is now gaining nicely and expects to be up to his 119 lbs.

Academy wrestling weight before long. Brute did state that he had a nice Summer and was enjoying playing tennis (doubles) and swimming.

One of our fine former members of the Class, CbarUe Parks now living up in Southport, Connecticut, has strongly indicated several times over the past year his interest in attending the 50TH and his interest in the 50-Year After book to bring him up-to-date. CharUe has not had much contact with the Academy or his old Classmates or the Academy since our 25th but was looking forward to this one. However, his dreams were mdely shattered recentiy and he caUed to say that he had a heart attack and was scheduled to go into the hospital for open he2ul by-pass surgery. Unfortunately the Reunion and the scheduled surgery conflict; hence he didn't have much difficiUty making a decision on which option to chose.

Don Thomas advised the Class of the loss of another of their local San Diego contingent, RAdm. John D. "Jack" Andrew. Jack had a fuU career in cruisers and destroyers with two splendid destroyer commands to his credit, an amphibious command, and a full swing of engineering and gunnery duty as well as staff duty before he retired in 1959. SettUng in San Diego, he maintained his business and Navy contacts in that rapidly growing area within easy-calUng range of his chUdren and grandchUdren. Jack is survived by a son and three daughters and nine grandchUdren.

To aU of them go the sincere condolences of the Class. Jack died on September 1982 and is buried with two of his wives in the National Cemetery at Point Loma.

Rather belatedly word has seeped down of the loss of another Classmate with whom we have had very Uttie contact in recent years. William P. "BiU" Schroeder died on August 13, 1982, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but nothing is known of the funeral arrangements or any possible survivors.

After initial duty in battleships and cruisers, BiU went to Pensacola for flight training in 1935 and eamed his wings in 1936. He initially served with the aviation imit aboard CALIFORNIA and this was foUowed by several years with patrol squadrons during which time he was on duty at Pearl Harbor at the time of the Japanese attack. FoUowing the war, BiU had a varied career of duties from command of the HOGGATT BAY ( C V E - 7 5 ) to the

staff of Fleet Air Wing HVE, Armed Forces Staff College, NAS Whidbey Island, Fleet Air Guam and later assistant Chief of Staff to Commander Naval Forces, Mariannas Islands.

After two years duty as deputy Inspector General at the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project, Albuquerque, New Mexico, BiU had one year as commanding officer of the RENDOVA (CVE-114) before voluntarily requesting transfer to the retired Ust on the basis of the permanent illness of his wife. Mrs. (Ivy) Schroeder had previously suffered a severe case of tuberculosis, which required almost three years of treatment at a private sanitorium.

BiU and Ivy enjoyed the pleasant dry climate of Albuquerque and spent many years there in almost quiet isolation, enjoying their individual hobbies but rarely making contact with the Class. BiU relaxed with his large Ubrary of Christian books and was quite active in outdoor landscaping. Although rarely seen by other members of the Class, it hurts to have the ranks thinned by one more coimt.

Smooth saiUng, BiU. A sparkUng note from Rex Little brought us upto-date on the doings of the Connecticut gang. On August 25th Betty and BiU Onterson had a wonderful outdoor picnic luncheon at their WiUington, Connecticut, home. It was rained indoors but everyone enjoyed it as much. Present were the hosts, BiU and Betty Outerson, Dorothy and Country Quarles, Janet and BUI Kenna and Sylvia and Rex Little. Unfortunately, Ruth and Mike Chase as weU as Bud Leeds could not make it.

Both Betty and BUI are meticulous "green thumb" gardeners and their yard, fuU of flowers, reflects a lot of work and is an object of deUght to the visitor. In a way this was an end of Summer "hurrah" to their Connecticut Classmates by the Outersons. The next week Betty and BUI were leaving for England to visit Betty's relations in that Uttle island kingdom.

The "Thirty-Two Golden Anniversary" has hit everyone via the maUs before even this copy is being typed and, whUe there were errors and omissions, they were not major and they certainly weren't intentional. Outside of a few minor typographical errors overlooked in the proofreading, two basic errors/omissions should be corrected in the book. On page 136 a name is misspeUed. It should read . . KLINKSIEK, HENRY T. On page 57 under CATLETT, WILLIAM J. Jr add a hne in quotes . . "Jack and Tony".

By the time this issue reaches the Class our 50th Reunion wUl be history and it is hoped that many happy memories are being chalked up. More about that after the Reunion.

33 Sec'y-Treas., Capt. Archie T. Wright, Jr. USN (Ret.) 4829 Ft. Sumner Drive, Washington DC 20816 301/229-1963 Percent Members: 83 The W/A group got off to a fine start on our monthly luncheon program for the year with 17 attendees at Ft. Myer O' Club on 14 September including: Bowen, with his guest Cdr. Rufus Taylor USN, Caldwell, Cobb, Dawson, Erck, King, Lacey, MacDonald, Geo. MUler, Moorer, O'Brien, Pratt, Strean, Thompson, Travis, and Wright. Turner Duncan had to cancel out at the last minute for business appointment and Jim Ogden was admitted to the Veteran's Hospital in DC on 13 September for treatment of a heart condition. Jim's condition was listed as seriously ill, requiring oxygen, and the sad news is reported later in this column. We were deUghted to welcome the son of our departed C/M VAdm. R. L. Taylor USN, as Rufus III is currently on duty with DOD InteUigence (following in his father's footsteps) and has orders to a new assignment with ComCruLant's staff. It seems that Hal and Rufus frequent the Pentagon Athletic Club and got to know each other thru these mutual interests. Hal had to leave to catch a flight to Atlanta, Georgia, in pursuit of his very active consultant business and so had to miss the end of a very interesting meeting which included remarks by Rufus and our most distinguished C/M Tom Moorer. Tom recaUed the events of USS PUEBLO in the North Korean incident and USS LIBERTY in the Israeli incident which led him naturaUy into the current Mideast situation and a most interesting discussion followed.

Gerry O'Brien brought us up to date on the 50 YB status — all of the material is in the hands of the pubUsher and the committee is awaiting the final editing job which wiU determine the final page count and of course the per/copy price. Charlie Travis expects to get out a maiUng to the Class in October about the events planned for the 50th Reunion on 13/15 May '83, and how we can make our reservations directly with the Hohday Inn in Parole, West AimapoUs, for the accommodations that we wish to make. (If you haven't received it by the time you're reading this — we're late!) Bill MacDonald is on Sabattical from his teaching job with DC University untU January. BUI Dawson is saiUng his STANDFREE II south for warmer climes before the Winter sets in at South River, but he doesn't plan to spend the entire Winter aboard her — just some of it! Smoke Strean announced the appointment of a nominating committee to present a slate of officers for election to the various Class Offices during the 50th at Annapolis and Chairman George MiUer would welcome your suggestions and recommendations.

We are sorry to learn that Barbara Copeland, widow of C/M Dick Copeland, died on 20 August, 1982, m Escondido, CaUfornia, a victim of cancer.

This information came to Gerry O'Brien in connection with his work on the 50 YB from Mr. John K. Lawlor of Escondido.

From Paw Paw, West Virginia, comes a delightful letter with a check for the 50 YB and a snapshot of C/M John B. Hamer taken as John and Dot celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary this year. To quote John: "I am no longer in excellent health but I keep my body and faculties busy and my dearest O.A.O. of 49 years is still with me. In interest as well as fraternal loyalty we both have two Alma Maters. No. 1 of course is Shipmate, December 1982

J.B. Hamer USNA (although I bilged it!) and No. 2 are schools where we finally qualified our complete degrees.

We are happy, contented, and well qualified for a Uvely retirement here in our sanctuary and mountain retreat. We travel quite a bit." John left the Academy in June 1930, completed his college studies at the Univ. of Maryland — and started a business career in Baltimore which included owning and managing a sports shop; tennis court construction; consultant in soils and sub-bases; Singer Sewing Machine Shop manager; associate engineer; and his final hobby he Usts as "writing."

He ends his note with "Hail to the Class of '33.

Where are you? Written in sincerity and wonder — John B. Hamer."

Dave Martineau, regretting that his meetings in New York conflict at times with our Class lunchons, fiUs us in on the activities of E.G. (Scotty) CampbeU. "Following his retirement in 1963, Scotty went into the management consultant field.

For the past several years he has been president of a very successful firm in Stamford, Connecticut, and which he has developed largely through his own talents and efforts. He did such a great job in reviving the Coimecticut State Navy League that he is now a National Regional President and director of the national body." And Dave included a clipping from CHINFO news summary about another distinguished C/M: "INSURV Board President receives Engineering Award . . . RAdm. John D. Bulkeley, president of the board of Inspection and Survey, was presented an 'Outstanding Leadership' Award 18 May by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Past recipients of the award have included Dr. Werner Von Braun and former Treasury Secretary WiUiam Simon."

Thanks for the help, Dave!

We're happy to report that members of the Class of '33 are stiU actively completing projects to make our world a better place in which to live. When CharUe Cundiff submitted his biographical sketch for the 50 YB he noted that he was in the process of fabricating a small steam power plant in his home town of Albuquerque, New Mexico, which he now proudly announces he has completed and operated successfully. From his description we judge he built this marvel in his home workshop (the boiler a Marine Special 15" x 12") from automotive spares, and he sent along a snapshot which looked very professional. Unfortunately, we can't tell you what mechanical system the engine is designed to power, but knowing Charlie's lifetime engineering backround, we can be sure it has a purpose. Could it be he's going to use it to again climb Jungfrau and Matterhorn?

Joe Gallery sent in his check for a copy of the 50 YB along with a letter from Athol, Massachusetts, which warmed the cockles-of-the-heart. To quote in part: "I can recall very easily the faces of many C/Ms when they are mentioned in Shipmate and can recognize many when they appear in pictures. I had to smile when I saw the picture

Barbara and Carl Jones From Eddie Fredericks; "The San Diego GP held its September luncheon at the Adm. Kidd O'Club with the following in attendance: Al PeUing, Hank Monroe, Ruben Wagstaff, Jack Coye, Clay Miller, John Stuart, Fred Bruning, Hank Rumble, Marty Gibbons, Bob MacPherson, Jim Elliott and Eddie. I am enclosing a photo of Barbara and Carlton Jones which Ed MUler took at a local gathering. Not much news. Lorreta Gambling is visiting in the San Diego area. Dee and Pickles Heinz are off on a trip to Africa. Hank Rumble recently participated in a marathon run, finishing well up in the crowd."

At 1400 on Friday, October 8, 1982, the family members and friends of Betty and Jim Ogden gathered in the Saint Andrews Chapel at the Naval Academy to pay last respects to our Classmate Capt. James Robinson Ogden USN (Ret.), who succumbed to a heart condition while a patient in the Veterans' Hospital in Washington (D.C), on Tuesday, October 5, 1982. The Chapel service was conducted by Chaplain Ellis of the Academy and a moving funeral oration was delivered by Dr. Thompson, minister of the Calvary United Methodist Church, of which the Ogdens were longtime members. These services were followed by a simple military interment in the Naval Academy cemetery. Family visiting hours were held for local residents at the Taylor Funeral Home on Thursday evening and out-of-town friends were invited to call at the Ogden home at 236 Puritan Road foUowing the interment to personally express their condolences to Betty and children, son Bill ('66) of Miami, Florida, and daughter Ann West of Oakton, Virginia, and their families. Those of us who had seen Jimmy over the past few months were shocked to learn of his demise; however daughter Ann indicated that the congestive and palpitating heart condition which led to his hospitalization was further complicated by an aneurysm, umepairable, and a leaking valve in the aorta, all of which were discovered as his condition deteriorated rapidly on hospitalization. It was comforting to see Betty in their home of two decades surrounded by her three brothers, her children and their families, and so many friends of long standing. Classmates attending the services included: Champ and Rosalie Blouin, Swifty and Barbara Caldwell, Joe Cobb, Bob and Louise Curtis, Turner and Charlotte Duncan, Leo Erck, Chick King, Elliott and Marjorie Loughlin, BiU and Betty MacDonald, Dale and Helen Mayberry, Hugh and Mickie McKibbin, Tom and Carrie 85

Moorer, BiU Pratt, Morgan Slayton, Smoke Strean, Ray Thompson, Charlie and Esther Travis, Dottie Rakow, and Archie and Adelle Wright.

VAdm. CharUe Minter ('37), USN (Ret.), Superintendent USNA 64/65, was among the many other friends attending. The Class sent flowers to the service. Please see "Last Call" for the obituary.

Perhaps the most difficult part of writing this column is the time-frame which is required. The most profound pontifications have a propensity to be overtaken by events before these gems of wisdom reach the eyes of our dear readers. So it is as we reach "P-Day" for our 50 YB. Margaret and Gerry O'Brien are deserving of the highest praise in their efforts to meet a schedule that most of us seemed determined to disrupt by our procrastinations and evasions. Thanks largely to their efforts and reminders thru the mail, checks for 19 copies were received during September and at press time our 'copies sold' stands at 354. If your check hasn't been received for the copies you want by the time you're reading this, you are in danger of not getting them. We anticipate a sellout. The months of October/December will be busy ones for Gerry, Ray Thompson, Bill Pratt, and Smoke Strean as they complete their editorial duties and put it aU to bed. The members of the Class of 1933, USNA, will be eternally grateful to these C/Ms for their efforts on our behalf.

See you all after the winter snows melt, at the Holiday Inn, Parole, West AnnapoUs, May 13/15, 1983!!!

Here are some stats to settle some debate of recent years. Of the graduates of '34, twenty were 86

nil mi 1

i Relaxing after the festival under 17 when they entered the Academy. The youngest was Sid Merrill, followed by BUI Brockett, John Wiley and Frank Novitski (born within five days of each other), Les Schofield, Roy IngersoU, and Jimmy Smith â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all under 16'/2 at entrance. Four others were just 17 when they were sworn in, for a total of 5% of the graduates at or under 17 on entering. On the other end, there were 32 entrants at or over 20 years. The oldest, of course, was Charlie Frey at 20 years, 5 months.

(Surprisingly, Claude Bailey was seven months younger than Charlie.) That makes 7% of the graduates at or above 20 when they entered.

35 Sec'y-Treas., Capt. L. M. Detweiler (SC) USN (Ret.) 6650 Van Winkle Dr., Falls Church VA 22044 Corr. Sec'y, Capt. W. H. Packard USN (Ret.) 5600 Yorktown Blvd., Arlington VA 22207 Percent Members: 80 Chuck Beaman from Rogers, Arkansas, reported that the results of the Navy-Arkansas game in Little Rock weren't quite satisfactory, but the catfish and chicken buffet before the game, arranged by Governor Frank White ('56) for fellow Navy Alumni, was the occasion for a "heck of a good time." Besides Eunice and Chuck, other '35 representatives enjoying this get-together were Virginia and Slim Barham up from Oak Ridge, Louisiana, and Traba and VirgU McQuary from

Slim Barham and Chuck Beaman at the Arkansas Game Flippin, Arkansas. Herewith is a picture of SUm and Chuck at the event. Chuck says he is fully recovered from his third carotid operation except that his left vocal chord is paralyzed, which he recognizes as good news for a lot of people.

Speaking of Traba and Virgil McQuary, they journeyed to Fairfax, Virginia, in early October to visit with their son Bill and family. Virgil also attended the Class luncheon on 6 October at the Ft. Myer 0-Club. Others present were: Rod Badger, Clag Claggett, Lou Detweiler, Wy

Packard, Jeff Parker, Bobo Thomson, and Henry Tipton. The McQuarys started for home on the 11th to prepare for their annual winter safari to South Texas.

Bobbie and Bob Prickett flew east from their Pacific Palisades home to spend two weeks with their daughter Roberta and her family in Newton Square, Pennsylvania. Bob joined the Mid-Penn '35ers at their monthly luncheon on 24 September in Harrisburg. Others swapping stories during the 2'/2-hour lunch included John MiUer, Tony Parry, Jim Scott and Spurge Sharrocks. Bob's son-in-law is a scratch golfer, and Bob anticipates the pointers he picked up from their rounds together will improve his game.

Jane and Pat Finnigan spent a few weeks at Bethany Beach, Delaware, during the past Summer. Pat and Clag Claggett, by chance, crossed paths and arranged to have lunch together at the Chevy Chase Club on 28 September. Pat and Jane headed for home in Winter Park, Florida, on the 29th.

George Hutchinson writes from Hampton, Virginia, that he became a great-grandparent on 3 October when Andrew Eckert arrived at the Albermarle Hospital in EUzabeth, North Carolina.

George reports the family ecstasy can't be put into words. Andrew is the son of Sandy's second son, George Eckert, who is in the Coast Guard and stationed with a helicopter squadron at Elizabeth City.

Johnny Heath's widow, Punkin, has donated a Memorial Chair in Johnny's memory. She has been Uving in AnnapoUs since June 1981 to help care for her Dad who celebrated his 100th birthday on 2 April 1982. Her current address is 21 E. Severn Ridge Rd., Annapolis MD 21401, but she looks forward to returning to her Kailua, Hawaii, home.

The San Francisco Bay Area '35ers resumed their monthly luncheons on 9 September at the Elks Club in Palo Alto. Those attending: Red Blount, Spike Ewald, Dixie FarreU, Ross Freeman, Bill Germershausen, Hersh Goldberg, Bud Bruner, Roy Klinker, Ralph Metcalf, Wally Nelson, Doug Rhymes, Bert Rodier, Bill Sullivan and Frank Wheeler. Red Blount reported spending the Summer in the fresh, clean air and quiet life of Vancouver Island. Dixie Farrell reported that he and Roy Klinker drove up to Gazelle and attended services for Dusty Dornin.

Checks have come in from numerous Classmates for Memorial Chairs for Dusty Dornin plus one check from the New Yorker Magazine. Dusty's daughter, Chris Boskin, represents that magazine in San Francisco.

Hank Shonerd sends in a follow-up to his report in the September Shipmate. The canoe/fishing trip which he took in British Columbia in August with his two sons was very successful except for too much rain. They "caught rainbow trout a-plenty, up to 18" in length for 4-5 days at Murtle Lake," about 400 miles north of the border. Hank also corrects a typing error in the aforesaid previous item. His daughter Sandy's last name is Stermer.

Biographic sheets are continuing to come in. Al Paddock retired on 1 January 1981 from his job as research administrator at the University of Pennsylvania. Bob (Chic) Foster is currentiy retired but owns a uranium mine in Wyoming and lives with his wife, Roberta, on 5 acres in a subdivision he started outside of Denver. They recently attended a SAN JUAN (CL-54) reunion in Norfolk.

Em Stanley is still serving as secretary of The Sea Use Council in Seattle and is owner of Stanley Associates. Jim Eppes is continuing as a telephone consultant with Standard Telephone Co. in Cornelia, Georgia.

Shipmate, December 1982

Chuck Langston sent in some up-date information for his bio. sheet and also reported a change of address to 4437 Linden Lane, N.E., Albuquerque NM 87111. They previously owned a 3500 sq. ft. house, and now they are in a 1500 sq. ft. townhouse "where the lawn, repairs, etc. are done by the Corporation."

Vince Sweeney retired on 30 September from his position as president and chief executive officer of the Suburban Savings and Loan Association in Virginia. As mentioned in the January 1981 Shipmate, he was one of the founders of this Association back in 1957.

As this column is being written, the sad news of the deaths of two Classmates have been received. WUlie McLaren died on 13 July in Seattle after a very brief bout with lung cancer; and Barney Bartlett died suddenly on 8 October at Bethesda Naval Hospital after an open-heart bypass operation on 6 October. Information for "Last Call" items, hopefully will be gathered in time for this issue.

Jack Brandt's widow, Margaret, has returned from an extended stay in Portugal and settled in a condo on the Intercoastal Waterway at 60 Marine Way, Apt. 1, Delray Beach FL 33444. She reports that she found Portugal delightful but is now enjoying her own little garden and doing her own cooking again. She had lunch with Jane McElroy on 22 September.

Louisa and Jeff Parker's daughter, Maida, was married on 9 October at St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church in McLean, Virginia, to John St. Hilaire.

John is employed in a management position with Office Movers, Inc., in Northern Virginia. The young newlyweds wiU make their home in McLean.

The Committee to determine whether or not to produce a 50-Year Book has recommended to the Class Council that we should do so. The Committee, composed of Rod Badger, Jesse Gay, Steve Stever and chaired by Henry Tipton, has proposed that the book should supplement the 20-Year Rendez-vous biographies, carry a general history of the Class and its accompUshments, and include numerous statistics, but not from any questionnaire such as appeared on pages 18 and 19 of the previous book. A central committee to be set up in the Washington (D.C.) area wUl coordinate the collection effort and handle the administrative aspects of producing the book. A letter to all those on our address list will be sent out by that committee giving fuU details on what information and piaures are needed and proposing sub-committees to be organized throughout the country, where there are concentrations of Classmates, to faciUtate the gathering of such information and pictures.

More details will be passed along in subsequent columns as they develop.

In closing, your Corr. Sec'y. wishes all a joyous hoUday season and a New Year of good health and happiness. As another year closes, he wishes to express his gratitude to those who have taken the time to write in and thus provided the support necessary for producing this column. Keep in touch!

EHis USN (Ret.) 4101 Downing St., Annandale VA 22003 Percent Members: 84 WHAT'S HAPPENED TO YOU ALL??? We became your Class Reporter and Historian some twenty-five years ago and have always depended upon you for your support in providing news of Shipmate, December 1982

Class interest. Now, for the first time in many years, we find we have no news to report except sad news. We even can't report on the 12 October luncheon held at Vinson Hall because it comes after our December deadlines, as also do the remaining home games at Annapolis. So how about sitting down right now and dropping your Scribe a Une or two. Our only hope is that "no news means good news," and that all of you are hale and hearty and ready for the upcoming holiday season. So, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to aU. Regretfully, our sad news concerns Mildred Lewis, wife of William ("Willie") E. Lewis.

Mildred passed away on 20 September 1982 in Norfolk after a long period of illness. A Wake service was held at the HoUiman Brown Tidewater Drive Chapel during the evening of 22 September, and the following day a Memorial Mass was said at the Naval Air Station Chapel in Oceana. Interment and graveside services were at Arlington National Cemetery on the afternoon of 24 September with members of the family and friends in attendance at the final rites. On behalf of the Class, Dick Bradley and your Reporter were present to express our deepest sympathy to BiU, Bill Junior, Marcia, John, Mary Ellen, and other members of the family. Classmates and friends may send personal messages of condolence to the home address: 500 East Government Avenue, Norfolk VA 23503.

37 Sec'y-Treas., LCdr. J. P. M. Johnston USN (Ret.) 2118 Bancroft PI., N.W., Washington DC 20008 Corr. Sec'y, VAdm. Charles S. Minter, Jr. USN (Ret.) 238 Puritan Place, AnnapoUs MD 21401 Percent Members: 79 As predicted and confidently expected considering the planning talent involved, the 45th was a huge success enjoyed by all who were fortunate enough to attend. All things considered, an unbiased observer would have been forced to conclude that time had dealt kindly with '37 and its spouses. As a matter of fact, one of the more unbiased observers much in evidence at the more exclusive parties around the Hotel Del, drinking in the local color among other things, and tentatively identified as one Walter J. Stencil of Easton, Maryland, was heard to voice just such an opinion — frequently. In the absence of any dissenting views, the motion carried unanimously.

There was also some rather tangible evidence that a certain mellowing influence had finally begun to manifest itself within '37, and it became unmistakably apparent at the Saturday morning business meeting when Bill Mack was allowed to outline the two principal items on the agenda — the proposed class gift to the Naval Academy on the occasion of the 50th and the time and location of the 50th — almost without interruption and with at least half of the attendees listening and not carrying on independent discussions on irrelevant subjects. This in itself was an achievement of monumental proportions, but when a near unanimous vote was recorded favoring both proposals, keen observers of the '37 scene were in complete agreement that no comparable instance of practically undivided acceptance of anything had ever previously been recorded since records first were started in 1933. One such keen observer was Tex Lander who graciously consented to record his impression of the 45th which is reproduced herewith:

"Not since the Ring Dance forty-six years ago has the Class of 1937 enjoyed the sheer luxury of private, big ballrooms and dancing to the swing rhythms of big bands. True, this 45th Reunion could not rejuvenate Ozzie and Harriet Nelson, but we did have the Grand Ballroom of the Hotel Del Coronado. We sat with old friends over cocktails and watched the sun set over the Western Pacific. We dined and danced. We wined and danced some more. We table-hopped and caught up on old familiar faces.

"To wander through a crowded ballroom can sometimes be a lonely experience. Our Grand BaUroom hosted two hundred and twenty-two people, but it was far from lonely. Here was a warmth which could only come from common experiences shared over many crossed rivers. All faces were familiar even though we had to steal glances at name tags from time to time. With great forethought our committee had printed in large type.

"As a warm-up to the reunion all hands attended a cocktail buffet in the ROEDER PAVILION, just a short walk from the Hotel Del Coronado where most of the out-of-towners stayed. Steamboat round and Eastern oysters (no doubt from Chesapeake Bay) were among the many delicacies which we sandwiched between trips to the bar.

"For the 'tween times' there was a golf tournament won by Bob Tata, Blake Moore, and Frank Shamer. Scores are stiU under investigation since no one knows whether winter or summer rules were in effect at all times owing to the passage of a few light showers. Tennis champions included Ann Tamny, Anne Lowndes, Nick Nicholson, Charlie Putman, States Mead, and Jack Whistler.

"For those pilgrims not addicted to golf or tennis (formerly known as members of the radiator squad), there were tours of Sea World and Tijuana where fortunes could be made in Mexican pesos.

Our yachtsmen. Bob Erly, Gene Rankin, and Walt Phaler entertained some aboard for saiUng expeditions. There was also a large crowd on the harbor cruise, a cocktail buffet aboard the excursion of boat SS MONTEREY.

"As a fitting conclusion, a Memorial Service was held to pay tribute to all of our departed Classmates. Frank Smart presided in a most impressive ceremony.

"Planning for REUNION 45 began five years ago. It culminated in a highly successful series of events designed to lure us all into a state of euphoric suspense awaiting the 'Nifty Fifty.' We owe our heartfelt appreciation to Lois and Bob Erly, Barbara and Bunny Shupper (beautiful '37 plaques of ceramic tile), "D.J." and Syd Bottomley, Ginny and Dick Ball, Sally and Frank Shamer, Ginnie and Gene Rankin, Jay and FU Gilkeson Jeanne and Skeeta Gardes, Peggy and Bernie Bieri, Marge and Walt Phaler."

Although many cameras were in evidence at the various functions during the reunion, the only finished products to reach my desk at the time of going to press were those accompanying this column which were sent in by Tom Miller who has been consistently one of the more faithful contributors of pictures and information. One would hope that more of you would measure up to his performance without having to be prodded so continuously, or measure up even after being prodded.

There were many mini-reunions of groups having particular ties of the past and one of the more outstanding ones was hosted by Uddie and Spike Barkley for old CHICAGO hands. All hands were mustered at the penthouse suite of Spike's brotherin-law and, foUowing a convivial session, moved across the street to the San Diego Yacht Club for a superb luncheon. Naturally, some rather im87

probable sea stories were bandied about but no one felt disposed to chaUenge the accuracy of any of them, probably for fear of having his own favorite exaggeration called into question.

Through an unhappy but understandable set of circumstances for which no one should be held to account, the sheet containing the names of the winners of the various golf prizes disappeared mysteriously just before the winners were to be announced at the Saturday evening dinner dance. As a consequence, FU GUkeson had to rely on his memory, generaUy recognized as among the best in the business, to recaU the winners. But one must realize that this occurred weU along in the evening of an exceptionaUy trying day for Reunion officials during which courtesy alone dictated attendance at the numerous pre-dinner parties around the hotel, so it is hardly surprising that a winner or two might have been inadvertently overlooked and not properly recognized. Mariedora Moore was one of these. She, along with Cynthia Pridmore, had one of the lowest scores among an exceptionally talented group of lady golfers, and though Bush Bringle and I made an effort on Sunday to deliver her prize to her at the Arentzen's in Rancho Santa Fe where the Moores were reunion guests, they had departed for Mobile before we arrived so her prize had to be mailed. (After being hosted lavishly by Bob and Lois Erly during the entire reunion, Mary and I enjoyed a similar treatment at the home of Bush and Donnie Bringle in Rancho Santa Fe.) Although the vast majority of out-of-towners arrived by air, a surprisingly large number drove to the reuiuon. And a few braved the hazards of travel by raUroad which were epitomized by a strike just at the scheduled departure time following the reunion. Among those who chose to travel cross country by car and visit friends and family 88

enroute in an extended vacation were Babe and Hank Transue, Bea and Larry Brantley, and Kay and Ed Pace. Edie and Frank Worth, and Lil and Wyman Howard went the trans-Canada raU route, then drove rented cars down the West Coast.

Though no detailed reports on these trips have been received, it is known that at least one speeding (very marginaUy in excess of the legal limit according to the recipient) ticket was issued despite the persuasive defensive argument Larry offered that a warning would have been far more appropriate under the circumstances. Unfortunately, the Arizona State PoUceman was unmoved by Larry's silver tongue and insisted that he had no option other than to issue the ticket. $20.00. Next case please.

October seems to be a big wedding month for '37 progeny. On 4 October Pme and Dick Colbert's son Richard Gary Colbert II, was married to Karen Lee GuUickson of Silver Spring, Maryland. And on 16 October in DaUas Texas, the happy nupitals of Peg and Paul Hartmann's daughter, Margaret, were to be celebrated. On the same date and also in Dallas, Alex Pridmore, son of Squire and Cynthia, was to take unto himself a bride. The Class extends many happy returns to the happy couples and wishes them lives as meaningful and rewarding as those of their parents.

Paul Hartmann took advantage of a recent DaUas visit to contact local Classmates and passed along the foUowing dope. Suzy and Hank Rowe had hoped to be among those present at the reunion and would have been had it been held a month later, but Suzy had a date with the surgeon for an arm skin graft which could not be delayed. As a consequence, she was stiU heavily bandaged at the time of the reunion and couldn't make it. They were sincerely missed as were all the others who couldn't be present. Hank keeps busy with a var-

iety of activities including real estate as weU as parttime work at Addison airport north of DaUas, where he says aU the cocaine comes m. Hank wants it clearly understood that his perfectiy innocent efforts to tvuTi an honest doUar have no connection with his beUef that iUicit dmg traffic is talcing place at Addison, and I for one am prepared to accept his word. Jim Cresap told Paul that they couldn't make the 45th because of an event of overriding importance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the arrival of the 8th grandchild in Detroit where their presence was required, a pleasant duty understood by aU in the grandparent fraternity. Jim continues busy as trustee for an estate which includes farms in IlUnois and Indiana.

He also works on investments in general.

All of us who had a great pleasure of attending. the 45th came away with the warm feeUng that is engendered only by the opportunity to visit once again with old friends whom we see aH too seldom now that we are all retired and settied dovm in various parts of this great country of ours which we feel some pride in having served during critical times. Our hats are off to the reunion committee under Bob Erly who did such a superb job in putting it aU together so that all the others of us had to do was to enjoy it. Which we did!

Shipmate, Deceraber 1982

38 Sec'y Capt. Snowden Arthur USN (Ret.) 10207 Dickens Ave., Bethesda MD 20814 Percent Members: 78 Janie and Walt Small were recently visiting her sister LolUe in Alexandria, Virginia, when things began to happen. Lollie went across the street to tell a 90-year-old partially deaf woman that her phone was off the hook. When LoUie entered the house, the old lady forgot to set the burglar alarm on "Safe." The alarm rang and Lollie couldn't turn it off. Janie, who had the phone off the hook in LoUie's house, heard both LoUie's voice and the burglar alarm coming over her phone. She got excited, started to run down a flight of steps, tripped, feU, and broke her wrist. She yelled for Walt who was a Uttle slow coming to her rescue since he had been sitting on the John when she took her tumble. He arrived at the disaster scene with his pants at half-mast. Meanwhile, across the street the doorbell rang. LoUie answered it and found herself staring down the barrel of a cop's gun. He was in a squatting position, both hands on the gun, ready to fire. Two other policemen were covering him from positions behind bushes in the front yard. The Uttle old lady had trouble understanding what aU the fuss was about.

Here is a Ust of Classmates who, as of October 7, intended to come to the '38 Homecoming postgame party in AnnapoUs on October 23: John BurriU, BiU Boykin, Gordon Smale, Dick Bowers, BiU Spears, Agee Melvin, Hank Jackson, Phil Beshany, Ray Berthrong, Joe McDowell, Rab Irvine, Jack Bogley, Muriel WeUs, Hugh Elwood, Jim Andrews, Frank Jones, Bob McNitt, John Ferriter, Les O'Brien, Grant Heston, Jerry Hinman, Joe Blandin, Fred Schroeder, Doug Pugh, OUver Bagby, Dick Ingham, Bill Glennon, Betty Luby, Deke Ela, Freeland Carde, Bill Hunnicutt, Harry Mason, Bob Hall, and Nels Nelson.

45th Reunion Yearbook We have over 200 contributors to our Yearbook as of 1 October 1982: we need yours. This is the last caU for aU who have received the form for data submission. It is also the last chance to provide addresses on lost Classmates. Please send all communications to: RAdm. M. H. Rindskopf USN (Ret.), 381 Grinstead Road, Severna Park MD 21146.

Doug Pugh has something to celebrate. In his words, "It (the Homecoming cocktail party) also fits in as a celebration for us with October 31 my date for second retirement. Fourteen and one-half years in the banking business (tmst) seems to have been sufficient."

And here is an "update" from Tom Foster: "The end of June I hung up my chalk and eraser — 2nd retirement! Forty-four years 'on the Une' seemed enough. This past year was one of my best in the high school math dept — good classes, good students — an appropriate time to step out, especiaUy when Gayle and I feel relatively young and enjoy life. We leave the end of this week for Chicago to visit daughter Linda and family, including two fine granddaughters (ages 6 and 3).

After that visit we fly to Boston. We'll rent a car and spend about two weeks in Mass., N. Hampshire, Vt. and Conn. Mostly staying at the country inns. We also have several close relatives in Boston and Conn. See you next year in Coronado.

Onward and upward!"

Here are some excerpts from a letter George Long wrote to Frank Jones shortly after George retired: "Your letter brought to mind something I have often thought. I feel I have reaUy been blessShipmate, December 1982

ed in that in my Ufe 1 have been thrown in with two absolutely remarkable groups of men, and this is a stimulation that most people never have. The first, of course, my Naval Academy Classmates.

They have been an influence of my life that is hard to overestimate. Looking at yourselves objectively, it is hard to imagine a more solid group of people. There are many different characteristics, but they all add up to a group with a true understanding of the real values in life and what it takes to maintain them.

"The second group is the people 1 worked with in the early days of Pan American. (There is a tie between the two groups, in that the Pan American executive who hired me was himself a Naval Academy graduate, and at one time there must have been nine or ten of us from the Academy.)

Those fellows in the early days were true pioneers.

They could visualize situations that had never really been experienced, and they developed solutions to problems that weren't fully understood. They were really brilliant — in every phase of aviation.

It was an inspiration to work with them . . . Unfortunately 1 will miss Homecoming this year. My youngest daughter expects a baby about October 17, and it is for that reason that we are delaying our trip to Florida until later than we would have gone otherwise" . . . George's new winter address is 1236 Startford Circle West, Port Richey FL 33552. His summer place is Route 2, Box 180, Louisa VA 23093.

We'll miss you, George, at the monthly luncheons.

West Coast News The San Diego Class of '38 held its fall party on October 2 at the North Island Officers' Club.

Canada. Mary Beth CoUum was visiting Monterey, and points north at the time of the party. Bernice and BUI Dimmick enjoyed a successful trout fishing trip to Lake Panquich, Utah, in June, visiting Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park on their return trip home to San Clemente; they also reported good bass ocean fishing this Summer. BiU Finn reported there had been no newsworthy events, nor any salty tidbits he felt the compulsion to share; he's staying in good health and content with life in the plan of the day and the year.

Pat Foley dislocated his shoulder and crushed the bone, partially incapacitating him for about five weeks; he and Barbara had to cancel a trip on the QE2 and three weeks in Europe. Jessie and Dan Harrington recently toured the Alpine countries for three weeks: Germany, Austria, Northem Italy and Switzerland, truly the lands of the "Sound of Music." As a sort of anti-climax, but superb in its own right, was a week in the Sequoia and Yosemite parks; Dan adds that they'U stUl take San Diego over-all. Wanda and Dan Henry had a six-week visit of their daughter and grandchildren from Frankfurt, Germany, this Summer; September 8 they attended a BUCHANAN reunion in Denver, Bud Hollingsworth reported he is still working at Equifox, and Debbie is very busy with symphony, little theater and opera. Charlie MacDonald is still living in Apple Valley, spending a lot of time on photography, travel, golf, swimming and gardening; a niece and her three daughters (4-9-10) hve with Charlie, and the girls account for much of his time. Kitty and El Ogle just returned from a trip through the Northwest; they celebrated the golden wedding anniversary of El's brother in Moscow, Idaho; in Sacramento, they had dinner with Carlotta and John BurrUI; in Seattle, they stayed with Mary Ann and Bob Schelling, which . visit included a cruise on Lake Washington in their yacht and a trip to Bremerton for an Alumni dinner; Mary and Monk Masterson were at that dinner, as were Muriel and Gordy WUliams; Bob O'NeU and Marie and Jack Mansfield were not able to attend.

Jan and Swede Olsen had another great summer fishing in the Pacific Northwest and are now shopping for a bigger fishing boat; Jan took time out to fly to San Diego to receive the Volunteer of the Year award for 14 years of volunteer service with retarded children in San Diego. Helen Quady is fine and stiU working with Customs Service at LAX. WU Rawie is on the last leg of his Ph.D. program in psychological counseUng, which includes all phases of parapsychology and holistic health and education. Margo is struggUng up the ladder toward being a Life Master in bridge. Lee Rogers made a trip to Abilene, Texas, in August to attend a reunion of the survivors of HOUSTON and the Burma Railroad. Jane and BUI Rogers, with the exception of a golfing weekend at Alisol near Solvang, and a fly-fishing week at Hot Creed near Mammoth Lake in the High Sierras, have stayed in Coronado, golfing and seeing local friends; Jane has seen daughters. Kit in Charlotte, NC, and Ann and grandchildren, Bessie 6 and Nicholas 3, in Baltimore. Ruth and Frank Silk just returned from a cruise in SUN PRINCESS to Alaska with Elaine and Jake Bland. Jean and Wendy Suydam report a better year without the Medfly for the lemon ranch; they enjoy assisting in the 45th reunion preparations, which includes hearing from many Classmates; it was a surprising treat to have brunch with Emilie and Tommy Lamar while they were recently visiting the San Diego area; as host for the fall party, Wendy showed the movie Annapolis, the First Year, which he has on hand to show high school candidates in connection with the Naval Academy Blue and Gold pro-

89

gram; Wendy continues teaching evenings at National University in their .\IBA program. Otis Wesche is progressing slowly but surely from his heart attack and attended his 50th high school reunion in Ohio. Peri and Bob Worthington sends warm regards from their new home at 754 Buck .Avenue, Vaca\ille CA 95688; Peri is medical librarian at the Travis .AFB Hospital, and they expect to return to San Diego in one-to-three years; in the meantime, itinerant Classmates passing through Travis must caU 447-7235 prior to proceeding onward if they know- what's good for them; MUUe and Frank Zimanski just retumed from a trip to New England; Frank reported recently completing the 45th album biographies from the 52 Classmates in Southern CaUfornia; the response was only sUghtiy short of 100%, and the vexation and frustration experienced in this chore accoimt in part for the low and unsat fitness reports he assigned to some feUow Classmates, trusting they wiU not adversely affect their careers.

This 45th albmn is extremely interesting, and we are aU indebted to Mike Rindskopf for his key role.

She drove a tmck east from Long Beach with Louise Laizur, to Charlotte, North CaroUna, to transfer household effects there — then drove on to Washington for the luncheon. The two gals did the trip in 4'/2 days! Rh>1hm Moore, looking like Santa Claus with a one-month scroungy white beard, won something, then posed with Jimmy Glendenning and Ernie Schwab for a beard comparison picture. When Stan Himman got a prize, he told about going to his high school reunion, and he had his granddaughter along on the trip.

When she was shown where grandpa went to school, she said, "That doesn't look that old."

WUly StUes told about the reunion of '39 .Marines at Ft. Myer on 13 September. One half of the surviving Marines showed up: Gayle, Glennon, Robertshaw, Aiken, Glendenning and StUes plus Huizenga's widow, Lucy.

A '39 luncheon old faithful that was missmg was Jim WaUace, who was dragged off to Bethesda to have a growth on his lung removed. And finaUy, George Duncan announced he would make his delayed African safari in November, barring another revolution.

The Gulicks' 19th annual Grog and Grill proved the biggest one to date — August 21st — with 66 bodies imbibing with the best. Steaks were served on the tennis court with the patio-pool area open for the drinkers and dancers. Music was furnished

by Cease and Trauger (who else?). Ursie Spector wTote that "If aU GG&G's were as great as the 19th, she and Herm deeply regret missing the other 18." The week-end houseparty started wiUi cocktails at the GuUcks' on Thursday, then to .Madame Wu's for her chicken cuisine. Golf on Friday, then a party on GuUcks' patio before going on to the Riviera Country Club. Sevemeen of the guests stayed at the Kappa House — as before, and aU missed their favorite bachelor, George Doican. Betty and Grant Rogers hiked up from the airport (as before). And Sunday morning they had the traditional champagne bmnch on the Gulick patio but forgot the champagne as aU got immersed in BUI Ringness's Bloody Marys. The 20th GG&G wUl be on August 20th — 20/20!

39 Sec'y, Capt. W. J. Rnhe USN (Ret.) 1310 MacBeth Ave., McLean VA 22102 Percent Members: 77 The mixed wives-husbands '39 luncheon in October had 83 people on hand. Danny Weitzenfeld ran the show with a theme of "Woman Power," so his one Uners were about the role of women in history. Since I couldn't foUow most of his gags I merely recorded that AdeU StUes on my right had to say. First I heard her mutter, "He's enjoying his own gags more than anyone else." Then, "I read about him in Shipmate — but I can't believe this." WTien there was talk about a possible '39 Memorial Fund for our 50th, AdeU said, "Why not spend that money on a gag writer for Danny?" (She was outdoing J.C. Lawrence for the moment.) Betty Claypoole who introduced the women's part of the program claimed they were supplementing Danny's jokes, but the song whch 15 of the wives sang to Elmie Schreiter's piano accompaniment, was "Women Power." That did inspire J . C , who first said, "I don't endorse women in poUtics," and then louder, "Hey, Schreiter, Where's your hairpiece?" I Ustened carefuUy for Charlotte Berg's clear contralto notes and then asked her if she was stiU singing in a barbership quartet, to which she said, "I'm singing with the Sweet AdeUnes — couldn't pass the physical for the SPEBSQUSA." Someone relayed on the news that Bob Merritt was getting married on October 9th to a Miss Bowditch (of the nautical Bowditches?) at Mount Holyoke CoUege in Massachusetts (where he was development officer — of what?) and then moving to AnnapoUs on the South River. '39ers rarely seen at '39 Washington lunches included: Bill Snyder down from Bedford, Pennsylvania, who had just retired after a 27-year law practice which he tumed over to his son; Jerry Norton over from Annapolis and looking Uke a poet with his long hair; Dick Zullinger down from Emerson Valley near Chambersburg (PA) where he hunts and fishes; Jim McConnaughhay from AnnapoUs who is now retired from his State job and is finally getting in his golf; Bing GUlette who retired from his Energy Department job last month and who has j o i n ^ EU Reich in promoting an Underseas Warfare Museum at Bangor, Washington. At the award of Norm Bennett donated prizes, Dottie Hardy got one for coming the greatest distance.

Shipmates of the WWII destroyer STAFFORD in Baltimore. We heard the sad news of Curt Vossler's death a few days previously of respiratory arrest in San Francisco. Curt, I recall, was a dynamic force in the Navy's air weapons programs and in developing our space technology.

Chuck and Muriel have moved to Salinas. They were using this reunion excuse to use an Eastern AirUnes aU-over-the-coimtry ticket to go on to Bermuda for a few days and then try a few in the Bahamas. But my thought was that this was being a bit excessive after hearing about their trip around the world in June.

Also, on the same evening Peggy and Jack Cameron arrived from Reno via Cedar Rapids where they attended a reunion of DE-409, and Florida — renewing old friendships. Tom Bell, Jack's roommate at the Naval Academy, threw them a party attended by Betty BonviUian and Betty Siegmund — widows of two of his other roommates.

Consistent with the season, Stan Kerkering stuffed a '39 pair of stockings with two "good guys." See his cartoon.

Dick Pratt, noting that two NA graduates of the same name Uve in New Hampshire (the other one is out of '36), wrote a lengthy letter to catch us up on his doings. He told of Betty and Grant Rogers visiting Bette and him during the Summer; they were enroute home "after running a river in far eastern Turkey" (as reported earlier). Also present were Barbara and Elmar Waring, who visit a brother "an hour's drive to the north of us each Summer." Then Elmo and Bette drove to Coker Creek, Tennessee, to visit Patti and Oke Reynolds at their mountain retreat. Mary and Lee Gollsby showed up later. Then Dick said they had a sixth grandchild, Meaghan, with another one expected soon. And he says he's so busy he doesn't have all of his wood "laid in for the Winter, eh-ah!"

Then, "as winter lovers we actuaUy enjoy our constant snow coverage here in the wilderness."

In the news: The Harvard Business School Bulletin in June featured Raspy Rawson, a graduate of their 43rd Advanced Management Program, in 1964. The article told of how Raspy, as president of the American Grange and Machine Company, was "tired of being in three different states every week." So, wanting to estabUsh himself in a community where he could "be constructive, stay in touch with people, and extend my earning power beyond age 65," he put down his roots in Florida as city manager of Madeira Beach.

Raspy says he feels that pleasing the public is his primary responsibility. Noting that Madeira Beach has no debt, he observes that "good government on the local level is its own worst enemy" because the citizenry "loses interest in what we're doing."

To overcome this civic indifference he would propose two years of pubUc service for everyone over fifty before they could collect social security.

Although he admits this is a bit impractical, he says, "We could use their judgement, experience and perspective . . . and we need the influence of successful and mature people in state and municipal government, and this is one way to get it." The Bulletin says: "His style of management reflects Rawson's efforts to promote citizen involvement in government."

40 Sec'y, Cdr. Leigh Winters, USN (Ret.) 418 Tyler Place, Alexandria VA 22302 Percent Members: 77 Washington Report Last month's report of Betty Ann and Tom Taylor's 11th Annual Class Picnic contained photos of just about everyone present at Pointo'-Rock, Virginia — except The Squire, himself.

Here he is, with friends.

Mendenhall and Lloyd 1 finally received the good picture shown of Mendy MendenhaU and Hank Lloyd in front of Bancroft HaU when they were there in July for a week, being briefed on how to be better recmiters of midshipmen. Hank is still the College Administrator at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida, and works his city's high school for good USNA material.

A note from Posey Hooper telling why he coiUdn't make our monthly luncheon revealed that R. E. Erbentrant had died in June of a heart attack. Erby, although not commissioned, was very much with us as he worked on Sperry's ocean projects. Posey also said that John Guerry was no longer living in Yardley with him, but had moved to Pascagoula, Mississippi.

News From Her and There Let's start in California . . . with a very welcome note from an old friend. Pappy Dupzyk: " . . . Forty greetings from Mariposa, where I am fully retired, batching, and loving this bucohc life on six acres of hills, forest and wild life . . . " WOlie Walker writes from Alamo (CA): " . . . I am fully retired now after a few years of real estate and insurance . . . following my Navy retirement in 1970. Heather and I are in good health and enjoying . . . The welcome mat is out to any Classmates on their way through the San Francisco Bay Area. We are only 30 miles distant — in the East Way and in the phone book. (Also in the Class Roster.)"

Swinging eastward to Columbus, Ohio, we leam that Ed Mason, Dr. Ed Mason (Change #111, Nov. '82 Shipmate), received his Ph.D. with a double major; Management Science and U.S. History. In addition, Ed received the Distinguished Service Award from Ohio State U. on 6 June 1982. Hearty congratulations to a very busy Classmate! But — let Doctor Ed tell it: " . . . scheduled for an extensive speaking tour starting 14 January '83 with a different city every night. The talk wiU be on international terrorism and starts in Oklahoma with a couple of speeches there; a couple in Colorado, Cheyenne, two cities in Oregon, Long Beach, and . . . places in (the states of) Washington, Idaho, Montana . . . concluding in Reno. Then . . . home for a month doing local things in consulting . . . (then) ten nights in Texas . . . Home again and out again commencing at Rapid City (SD) and working south throughout the Middle West . . . " (Phew!) Ed, we hope your bring your act through Washington (DC) some day soon. The Capital City could use a few pointers on handling the threats of international terrorism.

Doesn't anybody stay in Ohio? Right after Castine Caper XII, D'Arcy and Ned Bent (our Chinese Connection) left for a swing through Chicago and Minnesota, then down to attend the Forty Fountain Presentation in AnnapoUs, before returning to Centerville (OH).

So — over, to good ol' reliable, stay-at-home Ed Hayes in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. What — not home? Clare and Ed departed CONUS in midSeptember for a six-weeks cruise of the Costa del Sol, Morocco, The Algarve (What's "The Algarve", Ed?) and Yugoslavia . . . ! Well, we'U hear from them again sometime in November.

A welcome note from Jim Coyle, now moved to Ocean City (NJ) (Ch. #111): " . . . oldest son, Cdr. Michael Coyle '65 . . . reporting for duty in Ships System (DC) . . . middle son, LCdr. Joseph Coyle (MC), will probably be returning to NNMC (Naval Hospital), Bethesda, next year. He is now doing a fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital. Since these two account for 8 of my 9 grandchildren, I plan to spend some time in the DC area . . . " Welcome to Crazytown, Jim. Our local luncheons are usually scheduled for the 2nd-Wednesday-of-the-Month at Fort Myer VA; sometimes A/N O'Club, Ariington (VA). By the way, Jim has " . . . retired from teaching the freshman engineers at Villanova . . . "

Son Randy looks on as Hooky Walker (with Louise) receives Main Line "Outstanding Realtor" Award Now, if we swing down to Ardmore (PA) we'll find someone who keeps the home fires burning . . . in an otherwise dormant real-estate market.

Warren "Hooky" Walker received this year's outstanding service award as a REALTOR® from the Main Line (Phila. PA) Board of REALTORS®. This means that the real-estate folks have fmally discovered in Hooky the outstanding traits that we have known about all these years. Hooky reports that he recently dined with Cros Croft, in from the Windy City, who has a married daughter in the Philly area.

years at the Academy. After graduation, we never saw each other again, but traded Christmas cards in later years. Since Warren had a winter home in St. Vincent in the Caribbean, we proposed a reunion here in Clearwater during his transit to or from Minnesota. This year he made it and arrived May 1st for . . . a lot of reminiscing . . . he had not changed in the least . . . still lean, trim and athletic. Apparently he could not say the same for me, as, upon leaving, he presented me with a copy of the Pritikin Permanent Weight Loss Manual. Refer to the snap and I'm sure you will agree that he simply has weight confused with maturity. After all, I was a very thin midshipman, and perhaps I have matured a little more than necessary . . . Mary Lou and 1 have been here in Clearwater for 12 years . . . and have concentrated our effors on extended cruising in a succession of boats . . . We sold the last one, a slow diesel trawler, (after) nearly 5 years, 1500 hours underway, (and) a couple of hairy incidents . . . in the Bahamas . . .

The Secretary's Corner With deep sorrow, the following report: Mary, beloved wife of Norm "General" Lee, lost a sixyear battle with cancer and died 20 September in the Naval Hospital at Bethesda, Maryland. They had been married since 1940. Norm and Mary's four sons are scattered from Guam to Tennessee.

Sometime next year the 'General' will be moving back to the Tennessee-Kentucky area where Mary is now buried in the Lee family plot; Maysville Cemetery, Maysville, Kentucky. At present he is staying on at their local address; 1612 Simmons Drive, McLean VA 22101.

In early October we had received about $14,500 from some 145 donors for our $20,000 Scholarship Fund. Now, let's hear from another 55 or more of you! And many, many thanks for the contributions thus far.

It's a small world. Dee had a LARGE problem with her car this Summer. It didn't hurt at all that the president of nearby Lindsay Cadillac of Alexandria has a son in the Naval Academy, Second Classman Charles T. Lindsay Jr. Now you, too, know where you can twist a young man's arm in order to get a good deal in a new or used Caddy from his dad. (End of commercial.)

Eddie and Mike Miller, Bette and Fred Ruder ing so well fed. 1 am glad that 1 am not the only one who enjoys eating while traveling!

Bette Ruder, Marcie Tebo Later on, in July, the Ruders drove to Iowa City for their daughter Karen's graduation from the University of Iowa with a Ph.D. in Physical Education. Karen is now an assistant professor at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls.

Next, the Ruders visited Marcy and Ken Tebo's camp on Lake Ucil near Pound, Wisconsin — the northeastern part of the state. Ken was missing owing to work in Washington, but Fred got the accompanying fine picture of Bette and Marcie.

The Ruders then got back to Maine in time to be visited by their youngest son, Stephen, who had just completed the senior Marine Officer Candidate course at Quantico which wiU lead to his cominissioning next June, when he graduates from Virginia Tech.

From an all too short card, I know that Jeanne and Jack BeardaU made a summer swing through Seattle, Denver and Colorado Springs. I have to hope that a picture of that photogenic couple must be in the mail to me for next month's column. In the meantime, Jackie and I made a two-week cmise in the Baltic which started in Copenhagen and then went to Leningrad, Helsinki, Stockholm, Visby, Hamburg (with a side trip to Berlin, East and West), Amsterdam and ending in Southampton.

It was a fascinating trip, but I shall spare you our picture untU things are reaUy desperate in the news department.

Sorry to end on a sad note but I have to report that Rueth and Gerry Reeves' son, Kenneth, died last Summer, after a 32-year fight with diabetes.

I am sure that all of us join in extending to Rueth and Gerry our sincere condolences. Rueth and Gerry have now bought a lovely home in Tucson, where Gerry runs five miles a day. Their new address is, for your directories, is: Lazy Creek, 3627 North Little Horse Drive, Tucson AZ 85712.

42 Sec'y, R. S. Day CLU P.O. Box 6042, Shirlington Station Arlington VA 22206 Percent Members: 72 What's the Dope Merry Christmas to all and the best of everything in 1983! Having said that (and meaning it most emphatically), must confess that Milwaukee has just won over Los Angeles and St. Louis is seeking the measure of Atlanta while pro football seems to be in near total eclipse. We are promised a hard Winter and look for an upturn in the economy, so one does well to be optimistic and to reach for the stars. So, let's enjoy the warmth of Christmas 1982 and get 1983 off to a roaring success.

Nancy and BUI Morrow put together an outstanding package for our 41st Homecoming at Hubbard Hall. At press time, the Morrows were to be joined by the Days, Tom and Ginnie Smith, Peggy and Harry Rice, Trilby and Max Duncan, Bridget and Bob ReUly, Rose and Chet Lee, Marge and Mark Woods, Lucy and Buck Adams, Connie and Handy Cruser, Mary and IT Hill, Kay and Phil Cole, Connie and Bob Connor, Jean and Parker Armstrong, Peggy and Bunky Herndon, Betty and Bill Kurtz, Ruth and Dick Opp, Mary and Henry Sweitzer, Betty and John Welsh, Gina and Joe Jeffrey, Eleanor Tomlinson and Dwight Raymond, Jane and Barney Reinhardt, Jeannette and Roy WerthmuUer, Peg and Jake Glick, Virginia and Lewis Jennings, Ree and Bob Childers, Marion and BiU Montgomery, Shine and Charlie Payne, Pat and Swabbo Rawson, Anne and Earl Greer, Harriet and Walt Stegemerten, Mary and Bob Froude, and Ruth and Jack Gommengenger.

Bill Kurtz has retired from the demands of the aerospace industry and Northrup and he and Betty are cosUy perched on their mountain top outside Front Royal with PO Box 1363, Front Royal VA 22630, as their link to the outside world. Although not within shouting distance, Mary and Jack Burt are located on another mountain just east of them whUe Bev and Jerry Clarke occupy another mountainside just northwest of them at Middletown.

Gene Barnhardt wrote to bring us the sad report that George Mahler had died in his sleep of heart failure on 13 September. Gene was a pallbearer and along with Frances, others attending the funeral in Our Savior Lutheran Church, Virginia Beach, were Audrey and Ace Mullen, Naomi and BiU Kigeri, Hank Fields, BiU Simmons, BiU Vose and Frank Dunham. Our sympathy goes out to Virginia and the children.

Walt Brandon is enjoying his second retirement in Columbia, South Carolina, where he retired from the Navy in 1962, although Classmates are few and far between. Peggy and Doug Plate in Charleston and Ripper Reeves in Anderson consititue his contacts to date. Plans for a tailgate at the Navy-South Carolina game were well advanced, so the circle may be enlarged somewhat after that. Walt had had the pleasure of swearing in their oldest son, W.B. Jr., as an Army second 94

lieutenant after his graduation from OCS at Ft. Benning. Joining in the festivities were Betty, daughter Varian, and son John. Then the new lieutenant was off to Europe via the Adjutant General School in Indianapolis.

Speaking of tailgate parties, kudos to Marge and Mark Woods, who located their camper in the west parking lot at the Stadium for aU of the home games this year. Along with Bets and John Higgins and Ree and Bob ChUders, who managed to arrive early enough each time to help cordon off an area, they carried on the tradition set some years ago by the Wileys and added a welcome touch to the games.

In Pensacola Carl Klug sent along a blazing technicolor pic of a mini-reunion held by the '42 retirees living in the Pensacola area on 29 July. Joining at the Mustin Beach Officers' Club were Grace and Carl Klug, Louise and Paul Durand, Elizabeth and Bob Armstrong, and Marjorie and Gordon HiUberg.

Paul had recently moved from a real-estate business in CaUfornia and Carl had retired to Pensacola in early 1981. He and Grace had been in Washington in June to visit with the Robisons and Osiers and to see something of Annapolis.

Moe Murch, who is with Sverdrup/SPCM in St. Louis, provided a Navy flag for the corporate headquarters which was flown in celebration of a winning bid for construction-phase services for the development of a $1.4 biUion Trident submarine base at Kings Bay, Georgia.

Bonnie and Art Weiss are enjoying retirement in Meredith, New Hampshire, but find the idea of a Class gathering on the West Coast most appealing. After last Winter, they are inclined to let the younger set enjoy the snows while they seek warmer climes. Seems that weeks went by when Art was either lugging wood for the stove or shovelling snow or waiting for the snow to stop so he could get back to shoveUing again.

Joe Jeffrey passed along a check and a comment on Bob ReUly's letter from Ernst Hoefer. The latter is still enjoying his pad on the Via San Vicenzo de' Paoli, but would like to make the 45th.

On 23 September, Jo Ann and Jerry Miller joined Jonathan in celebrating his first birthday with lots of cake, balloons and goodies. The fact that it was set in the baUroom of the Army-Navy Country Club in Arlington and included a room full of his parents' friends didn't bother Jonathan one bit. He wasn't disturbed by the cheerleaders or the dance band or everyone joining to sing "Happy Birthday," but he did have to pass up the buffet and the stronger libations. To put it all in context, Jonathan did, indeed, have a ball. Attesting to the fact, in addition to yours truly, were Jack James, Bridget and Bob ReUly, Muff and Ray Wilhite. Jerry told me to expect a similar event next year, but I'm not sure whether he meant

another "first" or a "second" birthday celebration. Whatever!

Frank Berry recently had a chance to talk with Jim Emmons, who was in town to visit with his daughter before heading back to Mississippi. Jim retired from Avondale the end of 1980 and has settled at 5435 Newell Road, Meridian MS 39301.

As we still had his Louisiana address, Jim has really been out of touch with the Class for some time and missed all of the planning for the 40th completely.

Clara Lee and 1 had a most delightful luncheon with Peggy Bergin before the Virginia game.

Margaret and Edward rounded out the foursome and we had a good chance to chat and just visit.

Have also had an opportunity to work with Mary Ann Osier, as had Swabbo Rawson. Both Peggy and Mary Ann have continued to work and are quietly making the adjustment necessary in their new status.

As expected, less than half of the Class has responded to Bob Reilly's letter on the 45th reunion and dues notice. Additionally, of those replying, relatively few expressed an opinion as to the location of the reunion and/or a Class memorial.

Hopefully, the response to subsequent letters will be more spirited, if for no other reason than that it makes it much easier for me to share your thoughts with others through Shipmate.

Peg Betzel hosted a luncheon for the Washington wives on 10 November while the lads gathered at Ft. Myer for the monthly luncheon. Favorite sandwiches provided by each attendee were exchanged along with the conversation . . . but the names of those attending will not be revealed until the next issue.

Bill Binion, Vern's youngest, was married to Cathy Lynn Crump in an evening ceremony at the Westminister Presbyterian Church, Richmond, Virginia, on 2 October. Betty Lou and BiU Houser and Pat and Art Rawson drove down from Washington to join in the happy occasion. BiU had been working for the Blue Cross in Richmond, but is now affiliated with Cathy's father's life insurance company. Sister Tracy and husband Phil West introduced Cathy and her family to a smaU group of Washington friends and Vern's Classmates at a brunch in their Annandale home on 29 August.

There really isn't much but it is always nice to hear from Classmates, particularly those who, unable to attend the reunion, want to say heUo to those who will be there. Ridph Leedy is attending the wedding of youngest son, Gordon, on the 23rd in Boston. "This is my last chance ever as the Father of the Groom so 1 hope to make the most of it. After the wedding we're going down on the Cape for a quiet and peaceful stay . . . Best regards to all . . . warm wishes for a wonderful class reunion." Betty and George Whistler are cruising along the coast of Venezuela.

"Please convey our kindest regards to everyone."

Jim Pickens called a second time. His health prevents attendance (loss of a lung and arthritis) but he and Mary Ann hope for a visit from classmates. They live just off 1-95 in Connecticut. I Shipmate, December 1982

promised a visit on one of our trips north. He sends his best wishes and promised a letter.

Our younger son, Chris (USNA-77) has requested transfer to the Naval Reserve. The prospect of several years of sea duty with prolonged deployments decided the issue. I mention this because I suspect it is not generally appreciated how tough the Navy's operating schedules are today. Our service has always been "can do" and there are conditions which urge the presence of naval forces all over the world all the time. Of course I regret his decision but I have come to appreciate that those who continue to serve are making sacrifices not asked of many in this country today or in a sense, even of us in our day. It is not really "peace time" to those separated from family for most of several years of their youthful career when children are arriving and young wives have career aspirations of their own. Command opportunities are limited because of the reduced number of ships and comparisions between our careers and those of sons and daughters lack vaUdity. When we celebrate our 40th next week, one self congratulatory feature of our reminisences should be an awareness that our careers always had a sense of purpose and an uncompUcated value and recognition structure which gave us a healthy selfimage. The ladies recognized the importance of their role and considered themselves partners in our service life. I do not believe that is the case today. Our society is substantially more self indulgent. (We made a contribution to that attitude.)

The service has become more of a job, more pay and benefit measured, and the wives are busy with careers which prevent participation in the Navy family activities which helped ours through long separations, frequent moves and family adjustments.

It woiUd be nice to have some comments on this subject. My views may not be widely held. This is a time for reflection. The large turnout for the reunion bears witness to our mutual devotion to the service and to shipmates of 40 plus years. I am afraid that this wonderful esprit de corps is not readily available to the next generation. We have been very fortunate.

Perhaps, also, age is causing a bad case of nostalgia. If so, it is a fun disease and I'm going to enjoy it.

Back to the books, the canceUations, additions, phone caUs, head counts, bus counts, refunds, late collections etc., of this monumental affair on the 23rd of October. Sorry 1 can't tell you a thing about it. It hasn't yet happened. This is sort of "out to lunch" column anyway.

Here's a letter from Bob Adrian to Wes Burnett and Mariella Oliver. The fact that it is being published is not known by them, but Shipmate staff felt it appropriate that the Class know how its president felt about the tremendous 40th Reunion.

Dear Mariella and Wes: I am sure that all the '43ers and wives present for our 40th Reunion would want to join me in extending to both our hearty WELL DONE for your efforts in making our Homecoming weekend a rousing success.

It was the first Homecoming Weekend in my memory when some criticism was not expressed by one or more Classmates concerning the arrangements that were made for their participation.

The only comments that 1 heard many times during the weekend were superlatives about the functions scheduled for us.

Again, many thanks to your both for the many hours of work that you both gave in making our Reunion a complete success.

Sincerely, Bob.

Shipmate, December 1982

40th Homecoming Reunion Plans Hank Gorman reported at the October luncheon meeting of the '44 Headquarters Chapter on plans for the 40th reunion next year. On his recommendation, the chapter voted for outlay of funds for deposits to insure sufficient banquet space reservations. Complete information on events, reservations, costs, etc., wUl be mailed out to you at an early date. An early reply from you will naturally be of assistance in making the 40th a great success.

Mail Bag "Rags" MuUer, now that he has resettled in Vermont, has become a regular correspondent. This month he sent in a clipping from the Valley News of Lebanon, New Hampshire, dated 24 September, extolling the links talent of Maylor Scott in the annual golf tournament at the Eastman Country Club. Maylor handily took top honors in men's B flight of the toumament.

Dick De Prez wrote in the sad news that Michael M. "Mike" EUiott passed away on 10 September in the hospital in San Diego. As appropriate for his more than twenty years in the submarine service, his wife, Carolyn, honored his wishes to have his ashes scattered at sea from an operating submarine. AU of us send our condolences to Carolyn and the famUy. Please refer to "Last CaU" for Mike's obituary.

Unfortunately the maU bag experiences sporadic dry spells, and this month is one of them. Let's break this spell, shall we?

Secretary's Comer With the approach of another Christmas season your scribe recounts his blessings as he knows all of you do also. For those of us who spent long careers on active duty, the "Ghost of Christmas Past" awakens many poignant memories of December nights at sea and in foreign ports away from wives and families. We never doubted that those separations were worthy of purpose and we savored the sweet reunions with loved ones that inevitably followed for all who returned. On this Christmas, let us remember those who did not return, others who have joined them, and raise our collective '44 voices in peace and good tidings toward each other and all people of goodwill everywhere. Merry Christmas!

JVUrry Cr)nXtn)a/ "Merry Christmas" to you all from our Classmate Ed Dexter! And, you too, can share your Christmas joy with your Classmates by sending your Christmas Card and/or newsletter to the Association of the Class of 1945 at either of the above addresses. As is customary, we will post your card, newsletter or fotos at the January Class luncheon at Ft. Myer to be shared with '40-'45 Classmates. If you should need some current addresses of your Christmas Card list, caU BUI Flynn or myself.

To those of you who kept me supplied with fotos, news and ideas throughout the last year, "Thanks a batch." Perhaps we didn't hear from you last year? If not, why don't you send me a card or letter updating your current status? Most of the fotos you have sent over the last several years have been turned over to the Editors of the forthcoming 40-Year-After-Book.

Florence M. Stout of 7 Benton Ave., Port Allegany PA 16743 sent a foto of her husband.

Red, who died on 24 June 1982, and to thank the Class for their concern. A formal obituary appeared in the November issue of Shipmate. And as you probably know, the Alumni Association maintains a file of individual biographies of Academy Graduates. Have you sent them yours?

BiU Riordan of POB 1408, Santa Barbara CA 93102, puts in a plug for the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps and their need for retired persons to aid in the program: "I am now assigned as executive and training officer of a Sea Cadet Squadron. We train with the Marines at El Toro. I can assure you that it is the best combination of work and fun that one could desire. To locate the Cadet Unit nearest you, drop a Une to Catp. Keith Weaver USN (Ret.), c/o U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Headquarters, POB 400, ArUngton VA 22210. Or, if you are on the West Coast, drop me a note."

Lou Scliris writes to get the address of Rosie Hale. He notes, " . . . as for Electra and myself, we are still hving in Caracas, Venezuela. If anyone is this way, our home fone is 913661. Our younger son Christopher was married on 5 September in Houston to Maria Ochoa Perez-Villate of Madrid, Spain. I'm still keeping my hand in shipping â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just enough not to get bored.

Navy Bob Steele's check to the USNA Class of 1945 Foundation was "returned to sender" because of wrong PO Box Number which we gave to you. How many others? The correct address is: USNA Class of 1945 Foundation, PO Box 10962, Ariington VA 22210. But RAdm. Edwin B. Dexter USN (Ret.) '28 and '45, got through the postal impasse. He writes, "I'm alive and very well but somewhat tardy in sending in my $45 check for our Class Foundation. I am proud to belong to such an exclusive group. It has been a great pleasure seeing my '45 Classmates during the year at Alumni meetings. West Coast travels and in my capacity of New York Council, Navy League President."

Fred Hassenplug of 1618 Seldon Place, Rock Hill SC 29730, writes, "Hope this check for $250 helps a little. Am stiU assistant professor of mathematics at Winthrop College, Rock Hill, going into 17th year. My wife, Louise, also teaches at Winthrop." Joe Schroeder, a Fifth Company stalwart of the old days, made an initial contribution of $100. He adds, "Further, 1 pledge an additional $45 per year for the Class of '45 gift until paid for." He writes from 136 E. Yale Loop, Irvine CA 92714. Harry Doyle's idea for the gift: "My thoughts turn to something with a 'living' theme, but not needing extensive upkeep. We have a beautiful large (eight-foot diameter) precast concrete sundial here in Denver, a gift to the city from the JCS. I'd think something like that, suitably inscribed, with a well-done base, would be an appropriate gift." Thanks to all for their ideas which have been transmitted to Bill Barnes and his Committee.

Jim Wheeler, still involved with the Essential Chemical Corp. of Merton Wl 53056, sends in a donation for the gift and adds, "The Wheeler family now lays claim to two MDs: Capt. James H. Wheeler, III, MD USA, an orthopedic surgeon, stationed at the U.S. Army Hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, and Dr. Michael B. Wheeler, doctor of internal medicine at Northwestern University Hospital of Chicago. Our daughter, Dana, is the chief nurse for the Great Lakes Hemophillia Association, Milwaukee, and our youngest, Kate, 96

is married to John Mehan. Kate is with Arthur Anderson in St. Louis." Definitely, the Wheelers are the family I'd most like to get sick with . . . OK, who else can claim two MDs in the family?

Also thanks to Jack Kalina and BUI Carrier; and to Warren O'NeU for his contribution of $100, which included a matching grant from his employer. National Can. His company grants matching funds to alumni funds or foundations, which are recognized by the IRS as organizations, contributions to which are deductible for Federal Income Tax purposes and which are certified to the satisfaction of the Company to be one which will use all contributions to the benefit of the school which it supports. The USNA Class of 1945 Foundation meets the above criteria. So, CHARGE!!!

Ella Bessette of 35 Fairfield Drive, North Kingstown RI 02852 announces the engagement of daughter, Linda, to Casey Everett of South Windsor, Connecticut. Linda and her fiance are 1981 graduates of Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. An August wedding is planned. She adds, "Even though Curt is gone, I still feel I'm a part of '45. Please extend my congratulations to Al Olsen for doing a great job as president."

And we all share in that!!!

The 14 September Association of the Class of 1945 luncheon meeting at Ft. Myer was the first of the new season and a business affair. The Class acknowledged the gift of RAdm. Ed Dexter to the Class and authorized the gift of $200 to the 5th Company Wardroom (it later turned out to be $400 with matching funds from the 5th Company). Arnie Taylor, liaison officer with the 5th Company, was asked to look into the condition of the wardroom, which is now just great with new paneling and new floor covering. Hope that you were able to visit the Wardroom at Homecoming. Further discussion at the September luncheon indicated a general consensus to house the 40th reunion meeting and dinner dance at the Hyatt Regency Hotel at Harbor Place, Baltimore, with a final vote to be made at the October meeting. The dates would coincide with the regular Homecoming dates, 19-21 October 1984, with the game vs.

Princeton. Jim Hansen of Belleview, Washington, attended as a guest of Hub Davidson. Fred Berry of McLean, not seen in many a luncheon, was there to report that his daughter, Carol, 18, is a USNA Foundation scholar who hopes to become a member of the Class of 1987!

The sympathy of the Class goes out to Jim Hightower following the death of his Shipmate, Doris, on 1 August after a long fight with cancer.

Flowers were sent in the name of the Class. They were married on 8 June 1944 and had four children. Jim can be reached at 750 Dalrymple Road,

Solana Beach CA 92075 714/481-2093 Percent Members: 61 Not much news this month, but we did want to pubUsh an ampUfication to the obituary of WUUam Lee Perkins that appeared in the October issue of Shipmate. A life member of the Naval Academy Alumni Association, he had been discharged in 1958, but served in key roles in San Francisco Bay Seabee Reserve units for many years while employed by Lockheed at Sunnyvale, California.

He was predeceased by his wife Jean, but is survived by his mother-in-law. Marine Harlan, his daughter, Mrs. Cynthia P. Laird, 3403 N. Molter Road, Otis Orchards WA 99027, and a son, Lt. Scott Perkins CEC USNR '75 of 2764 Ellingson Way, San Ramon CA 94583, as well as four grandchildren.

secretaries, Carol Sohi and Mary Latka, know just how much John Prehn contributed to our Class during the past five years. I asked the other outgoing class officers to submit their farewell remarks for this column.

Bo Heininger, Jim Stockdale, John Prehn â&#x20AC;&#x201D; three of the four outgoing class officers Our Class President, Jim Stockdale writes, "Dear Classmates: Five years ago I had a Pentagon address, Sybil and I lived in Arlington, and you elected me Class President probably because I was well-located near the hub of things and could coordinate AnnapoUs activities. Even before I took office we were already in Newport, Rhode Island, and my five-year term was served there, in Charleston, South CaroUna, and now at Stanford, California. So 1 needed, and had, a lot of help.

Vice President John Prehn actually served as the coordinator, and of course Tom Hudner and Bo Heininger were ever helpful. Washingtonians stepped forward to take charge to the two noteworthy events of this otherwise quiet reign: Jake Finneran to run our happy 35th Reunion weekend, and Bob Marmet to chair the Class Memorial Committee which is now completing the coUection of your very generous donations which have made the Class of '47 Memorial Stadium addition possible. In the Alumni Association annual fund drives I have been assisted by the Class Chairman: Brad Becken, Bud Carnes, Ed Deramee, Bob Erbland, Slip Haizlip, Rog Johnson, Frank Keith, Mike Leddick, Jerry Nuss, Bill Porter, and Luke Sisson.

My words of pride in the lifetime diversified accomplishments of so many of you have been sprinkled through this column before. We stiU have leaders of churches, faculties, industrial giants ("Way to Go!", Tom Pownall of Martin Marietta), the U.S. Senate and the U.S. Navy too. Two of our four star admirals have retired, but three more are on active duty! How proud I am to be turning over the class presidency reins to one of the latter, a longtime pal and shipmate, a man alongside whom I've flown some of the most exciting (and successful) combat missions of my Ufe, Wes McDonald. God Bless the Class of 1947. Jim Stockdale."

William Lee Perkins Our deepest S5anpathy is expressed to the famUy, and we wish to thank RAdm. John R. Fisher CEC USN (Ret.) '47 for much of the information.

RAdm. Fisher paid tribute to our Classmate at a memorial service held at the Alta Mesa Cemetery in Palo Alto, California.

It should be noted that Bill served in LOFBERG and BRooKL-ifN before taking a graduate degree at Rensselaer Polytech, then had duty at Guantanamo Bay, the Bureau of Yards and Docks, and Longview, Texas. He was responsible for the planning and constmction of the Air Force SateUite Test Center, the facility for the manufacture of the heat shield tUes for the Space Shuttle, and the early planning stages of the proposed LMSC facUity in Austin, Texas. He was active as well in the Blue and Gold recmiting program. We have lost a man of tremendous talent and strength in his Wes and Norma McDonald death.

Only Betty and I, along with Mary Prehn and the two Safeway Shipmate, December 1982

Jim's mention of the annual alumni fund reminds me that '47 was the largest contributor to the '82 fund which ended 30 June 1982. 188 donors contributed $28,853. '48 was only $271 behind us in second place. Contributions sent after 30 June will count to the '83 fund.

Thomas G. Pownall

Jim Stockdale complimented Tom PownaU, president of Martin Marietta, in his farewell remarks. Most of us followed the "Clash of the Corporate Titans" when Bendix tried to take over Martin Marietta. The Washington Post stated, "It pitted against each other the egos of two of America's most colorful and feisty businessmen, Bendix Chairman William Agee and United Technologies Chairman Harry J. Gray, and brought from relative obscurity the one who proved to be the most feisty-and successful â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of all: Marietta President Thomas G. Pownall." After three years of destroyer Pacific duty following graduation, Tom joined the Chevrolet Division of General Motors for two years. He was recalled to active duty during the Korean Conflict and again served in destroyers Pacific. Returning to civiUan Ufe, he joined the Convair Divison of General Dynamics, San Diego. In 1959 he became vice president Fairbanks Morse and Co. of Washington (DC). He joined Martin Marietta in 1963 as vice president Marketing Aerospace Group, was elected a vice president of the parent Corporation in 1969, and assumed presidency of the Aerospace Group at that time. In 1971 he was elected to the Corporation's Board of Directors. He became president and chief operating officer in September 1977 and was elected chief executive officer in April 1982.

He is also a director of Sunstrand Corporation.

Betty and I drove to Norfolk to attend the Change of Command Ceremony on 30 September at which Admiral Harry Depue Train II USN '49 was relieved by Admiral Wesley Lee McDonald USN on board USS JOHN F . KENNEDY (CV-67),

Pier Seven, United States Naval Station. 1 have attended changes of command for the CNO at the Naval Academy but they were not nearly as impressive as this one was. On one side of Pier Seven there were two of our submarines, BALTIMORE and LIPSCOMB, and behind them were two SPRUANCE-

class destroyers. On the other side the KENNEDY was at full dress. The ceremony was on the flight deck with F-14, A-6, A-7, and E-2C aircraft on both sides. Twenty-one guns were fired for His Excellency Joseph M.A.H. Luns, Secretary General North Atiantic Treaty Organization. Deputy Secretary of Defense Frank Carlucci; Secretary of the Navy John H. Lehman, Jr; General John W. Vessey, Jr, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Admiral James D. Watkins '49, CNO; and General Robert H. Barrow, Commandant of the Marine Corps, were on the speakers platform.

General Vessey remarked that his task to introduce the main speaker was like sending a New York Democrat to the California Republican Convention to introduce Ronald Reagan. He then in97

troduced Admiral Thomas H. Moorer USN (Ret.) '33. Classmates and wives attending were BUI Crowe, Betty and Swoose Snead, Mikie and Bob Stone, Len and Ted Davis, Bets and Ralph Carnahan, Arlene and Ira Blair, and Chan Von Schrader. Wes's new command was described as the "ultimate command for a U.S. naval officer" and the "best job for a blue suiter." The photo was taken of Norma and Wes in the receiving Une on the hangar deck after the ceremony.

Bill Crowe and Betty Heininger BiU Crowe was there, having been in the states for a few days, and he was to fly back that afternoon to Naples where he is Commander of AUied Forces, Southern Europe, NATO's southem flank which consists of Italy, Greece, Turkey, and the Mediterranean. The 26 May issue of the Wall Street Journal had an exceUent article about NATO and Admiral Crowe's dUemma, the southem flank. Then the 31 August issue had a very long article with the title "Four-Star Fighter, Adm. WiUisun Crowe Batties for Recognition of His NATO Area." The subtides were "Chief of Southem Flank Says Biggest Threat to AUiance Is in the Mediterranean. The Disadvantages of a PH. D . " The paragraph I enjoyed most was, "Certainly, Adm. Crowe is fighting an uphiU battie; but then he has sjjent much of his career bucking conventional wisdom. An AnnapoUs graduate and a submariner, he declined to participate in the nuclear-submarine program because he wanted to be avaUable for orders to graduate school; that decision and his subsequent enroUment at Princeton University, where he obtained his Ph. D. in poUtical science, were against advice that both moves woiUd hurt his chances for promotion."

Betty and Swoose Snead are having a home buUt in West Palm Beach (FL) where Swoose is working for Pratt Whitney.

Tom Hudner writes, "Many thanks for teUing me of the outcome of the class election. My sincerest congratulations to you. Bo, for your election as VP — a weU deserved honor for someone as dedicated as you've been to keeping our Class united and unquestionably the best alumni group the Academy has ever had. I'd appreciate your passing on to the other newly-elected officers my congratiUations for theu elections also. It's a great group! It was an impressive slate for us to choose from, and I'd Uke to have seen them all winners — which, even so, they aU are. Particularly, I want to express my appreciation to Doug Sloan, who after completing his term as class treasurer from 1971 through 1976, quickly volunteered to handle for me the financial affairs for the Class in the AnnapoUs-Washington area where almost all of the action takes place. Doug did most of the work whUe I got most of the credit."

A couple of years ago Tom mentioned that he had lost not only his original class ring but also its replacement; however, he had later recovered both of them. After learning about Brad Becken's recovering his ring after 32 years, I felt that you would be interested in hearing about Tom's story.

98

Tom lost his original ring while playing golf in Pensacola with Ed O'CaUagban in 1949. A few years later his parents siu-prised him by giving him a newone for Christmas. Then on Labor Day 1956, Tom flew a round-robin from Otis AFB, where he was on exchange duty with the Air Force, to NAS Quonset Pomt. He removed his ring whUe washing his hands in the head and left it on the sink. Just after receiving his clearance and permission to take off, he remembered his ring. He radioed the tower to have someone pick it up and keep it for him untU he would be back the next week. WeU, when he returned the next week, no one knew anything about his ring. Two years later while attending the Air War CoUege in Montgomery, Alabama, Andy Valentine '46, who was the legal officer in Pensacola, phoned Tom to teU him that his original ring had been found. Then about two years ago, Jim OUver '43, Treasurer and Director of Alumni Services of the Alumni Association, sent Tom a copy of a letter he had written to a recruiting petty officer in Lake Champlain giving Tom's address.

Shortly afterwards, a jeweler phone Tom to teU him that he had his other class ring. The jeweler's brother-in-law had supposedly "won the ring in a crap game at Quonset Point." He had kept it some 24 years in his dresser drawer, but when the price of gold sky rocketed out of sight, he decided to seU it to his brother-in-law for $330. The jeweler sent Tom the ring along with a request for $330.

Tom, after checking with legal authorities and learning that the going price for a '47 ring at Bailey, Banks, and Biddle was $575, reimbursed the jeweler. (IncidentaUy, Dennis Yeatman teUs me that '83 rings start at over $800.) Now, I wiU sit back and wait for someone to try to top Tom's " '47 Ring Story."

John Prehn, your outgoing class vice president, relays his fareweU remarks. "Bo has suggested that I say a few words to you concerning my service over the past five years as class vice president, but in fact it is you I'd Uke to thank for letting me serve and assist, under the leadership of Jim Stockdale, in the strengthening, of our class ties and class spuit. I beUeve our Class has continued during this period to live up to our motto — 'Best on the Severn' —, and I am pleased to see the reins of leadership being tumed over to such an exceptional set of officers for the next term."

Finishing the Boston Marathon, 20 April 1981 Ken Robinson writes, "I just could not resist writing after seemg the article regarding Jack Pennington '44 in the September '82 Shipmate, pages 81 and 82. I am about one month older than he and since he is apparently the oldest Alumnus to

mn the Boston Marathon as of 19 April 1982, pierhaps, 1 was the oldest for the one year from 20 April to 19 April 1982. I was an official competitor at age 58, having nm a quaUfying 3:20 marathon at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, on 14 Febmary 1981.1'U not state my finishing time at Boston. 1 am # X593 in the photo. Sincerely, Kenneth M. Robinson, 609 Jefferson Ave, Carthage TN 37030."

The foUowing are excerpts from notes sent to John Prehn with the election baUots. Bernie Bandish writes from San Diego that he went to work with the Walter Scott Co. the day after he retired in Febmary 1974. He is director of the distributions center for their 13 department stores, rather a hectic type position for retirement. Rosemary and Benue manage to take extensive trips to Europe each year and tour the art museums, etc.

He enjoys his work and has no immediate plans to retire. They stiU have two sons, 28 and 30, at home and single of course. One daughter is an RN, married, and Uving in San Diego. Another son is married, Uving in Charleston, and with the newspajjer. They stiU have no grandchUdren. Ed Scoles reports that he recentiy went to the seventh — and last — high school graduation for his famUy. They took their three-year-old granddaughter — an indication of how long they have been going to those affairs. No more marriages to report; just the three eldest. Three of the sons are in coUege next year at Santa Barbara, Davis, and Chico. Tom, 21, worked for Luther Welsh at National Nuclear this past Summer before heading to Europe for six weeks. Carmen and Bruce Maxon write from San Leandro that Bruce sold his business 1 Vz years ago and they have been doing a lot of traveUing, yard work, watching soap operas, and "honey-doing."

They were planning to visit Puerto Rico in August and then the East Coast to see many of their friends. Mary and Tom BeU report that they seem busier than ever in Florida — tennis, sailing, VP of the local art league, chairman of the Home Owners Security Committee and Citizens Patrol, etc. Joe Williams Uves in Venice and they see one another on occasions. Turner Joy wrote that his four-year-old granddaughter caught a nice WA inch rainbow, and Shirley caught eight, including two fine 13'/2 inchers. Both Turner and Bmce Oliver teU that Red Niedfeldt was doing great after his triple bypass heart surgery in May and is up to walking five mUes a day.

WeU, that just about catches me up on aU the correspondence. I have to pass on some to Warren Johnson, just as Jim Moss did to mefiveyears ago. Being your Class Secretary has been a very rewarding experience in many ways. First, I have gotten to know many of you just through your letters and looking you up in the files. Lucky Bag, 25 Yearbook, and the Orange Book that we got upon graduation. IncidentaUy, there is a mistake in it. Two of our Classmates have their addresses and photos reversed. My last question for the month is, "Who are they?" '47 is a great bunch; we have much to be proud of. At our October luncheon today. Bob Marmet reported that our Memorial Stadium Seat fund was over $44,000.

Everyone at the Academy anticipated that it would take us at least two years to raise it. Bob Marmet is to be commended for his outstanding ftmdraising efforts.

1 have already started to turn things over to Warren Johnson, and I am siu-e that he wiU carry on in the tradition of Joe Flanagan, who more than any one Classmate kept the fires burning for our first 17 years; Jack Stevens, who has prepaid his yearly dues whenever we get nerve enough to ask you for them; Tiuner Joy, who reports regularly the happ>enings in CaUfomia; and Jim Moss, who

Barbara, our oldest daughter, and her husband and two children wiU fly down from Juneau, Alaska, where they have been since September 1981. So we are really looking forward to a big famUy reunion and a Merry Christmas.

Betty and 1 send you our best wishes for the holiday season.

Wives with Momsie Before closing, I want to recognize the one group that probably does more for this Class than any other group. That group is the '47 Wives who meet each month for bridge, spread the word, and support the famUies of Classmates during weddings, funerals, and sickness. For five years I have promised Betty the chance to write something: here it is. "1 thank all those Classmates and wives who took time to write letters and send piaures. A class column is successful only if many participate — so keep the maU coming to Warren Johnson. I admit that 1 wiU miss the mail, but the deadlines — No Way! 1 plan to keep my '47 computer address Ust curtent and beside the phone just as 1 have for the past five years. All this has had its ups and downs. One thing I have learned is those are 'typos,' Sweetie; not mispellings. As Bo hunted and pecked, I served as proof-reader and head critic. We have a 'few' words at times, but we are still together, although, 1 never would have predicted it after those fust few columns. Now that it is over, what can I say but the 'Class of '47 is the Best on the Severn,' and we love you all, Betty." (Me too. Bo.)

Shipmate, December 1982

Sec'y, Cdr. Sumner K. Moore USN (Ret.) 308 Mansion Dr., Alexandria VA 22302 Percent Members: 61 As 1 observed last month, the Summer passed by unnoticed, and now it appears that the Fall threatens to do likewise. 1 managed to get over to Annapolis to view the Boston College game, and 1 can report that the place looks about the same, and that B.C. displayed some excellent football, much to the dismay of the USNA. A good many '48s were in evidence, sitting in the sun. It seems as though the NAAA had us spread thinly through that section of the stands, and it was hard to get a serious combined effort together to help Coach Tranquill. Normally, we are pretty much stashed into a few rows, and with that kind of togetherness, we were actually able to help ole George Welch over the last few years with lots of well thought out vocal suggestions. At this point I would like to say that Mr. Welch could certainly use us down at U. of Virginia. I was down there last week end, and while our various kids went to the game with Clemson, Jane and 1 baby-sat grandson, and I viewed the debacle (48-0) on the tube. Those U. Va. boys just don't train up Uke the Navy lads.

The September Washington area luncheon, which took place on the second Wednesday (every other month) at the Army-Navy Country Club, was poorly attended in numbers if not quality.

Communications were poor, and in fact, the telephone net just didn't. These made it: Spalding, Jochum, Gildard, BiU Arnold, Ahern, and Ghormley.

Paul RUey has a good newsy letter for us this month: "July 7th was significant for our family in that our oldest son. Miles, entered USNA with the Class of 1986. So it follows that we will be making more trips to Annapolis events over the next few years. This is helped by my working once again for an airUne . . . PanAm. Very strangely, after 30 years of close association with the airplanes, the current job has nothing to do with them, except a distant relationship to the space transportation system shuttle. For the record, I now function as a mechanical engineer with our Aerospace Service Division, which has the plant maintenance and operations contract at NASA's Johnson Space Center. 1 have been using a synthesis of PG aero engineering and those old USNA steam courses for background to survive, successfully so far, for the last 1 'A years.

"Speaking of NASA, Jim Beggs very kindly came down in his Administrator capacity to talk to our Gulf Coast Alumni Chapter in May. This resulted in a 50% spurt in attendance and was well received. Only Bob Kenyon and I were there from the Class.

"You have Danny Summitt on your recent lost souls list, but he's really here in Houston at 1807 Nantucket St. Also Bob Endebrock is here, working for another NASA contractor (Northrop) and we see each other frequently. In April, Evelyn and I, plus our three young sons, spent a week in England. In addition to the usual sights, we visited several very interesting nautical places including the clipper CUTTY SARK, the Observatory,

Maritime Museum-, and Royal Navy College (PG style), all at Greenwich. We drove out to the Fleet Air Arm Museum near Yeovil, and finally to the RN (Academy style) College at Dartmouth. This last place was closed for Easter vacation. My attempt to impress the guard by mentioning AnnapoUs backfired, as he was convinced USNA was in Indianapolis.

"In June, just Evelyn and 1 took in the West Coast QUEEN MARY function (June Week West).

My recollection of Classmates there is: Dave Foxwell, Ben Goodman, Bob Neely, W . C NeweU, Hugh Sanders, Chuck Sheehan, and myself. A good time was had by aU. "In August, the plebe Parents Weekend at USNA was attended. A list of 48 sons: Midn. 4/c Joseph D. HerUhy, Andrew J. Kirkpatrick, Dwight D. Lewis, Thomas D. Metzger, and MUes V. Riley.

Bob Metzger and 1 ran into each other while we both were saying 'hello' to the Supe. Later, by chance again, Don Kirkpatrick and 1 were able to meet for the first time. As you no doubt know, the plebe system has changed considerably. I suppose the year-long net effect is about the same, but it seems that our plebe summer was a bit more enjoyable. While in Annapolis, a side visit was made to see old Severn School and 13th companymate. Randy Patterson. Then, before leaving the area, 1 was able to see my only 'double classmate' (USNA and PG School), BUI Sallada.

The only other news would be a letter from Ty Dedman in Portugal, advising his imminent relief of COMIBERLANT on September 18, with expected retirement in the Orlando area (which I assume would be at his house in Lake Mary, Florida)."

Jim Ahem reports from his Boss's chair at the Naval Mutual Aid with a letter and biography of our current Class of 1948 Honor Scholar. In keeping with his thought that our contributors to the Academy Foundation would like to know what their contributions have produced, I offer them to you: "Kerry Scott Krause, the son of LCol. K. E. Krause, USAF (Ret.) and Mrs. Krause of Austin, Texas. Graduated from Austin HS, and attended U. Texas for two years. HS letters in tennis (3), and member of National Honor Society, standing in the top 10% of 575 students." Midn.

Krause's letter to Jim Ahem: "I have been selected as the Class of 1948 Honor Scholar and would Uke to express my appreciation for you and your Class's part in my getting the opportunity to attend the Naval Academy. To fiU you in on exactly who I am I'U tell you a little bit about my self.

I'm from Texas; my father is a retired lieutenant colonel in the Air Force, so I've traveUed around a lot. I attending the U. of Texas for two years, studying nuclear engineering; but I wanted to be in the nuclear Navy and thanks in part to the Naval Academy Foundation and the Class of '48, here I am. Right now I am majoring in systems engineering and hope to go to nuclear power school and into nuclear submarines. So far, the Academy is pretty much what I expected it to be.

The academics are going to be hard, but if the classes weren't hard, it would not be the same quaUty education, so that doesn't bother me. Now that I'm here I know what I want to do; what I will have to do to achieve my goals; and I am confident that I am capable of it. But none of this woiUd be possible without people Uke yourself and the people of the Foundation. So, again, I would like to thank you and hope that I prove to be deserving Class of 1948 Scholar."

Here is an interesting note from BUI Wagner, who writes from Chatsworth, California. "As you may have noticed, I have been advertising a bronze sculpture of Tecumseh in Shipmate for the past 18 months, off and on. Forty have now been cast and sold or donated. I gave one to the Alumni Association and recently responded to a request to donate one to USS TECUMSEH — how could I say no to an honor Uke that! Enclosed is a clipping which may be of interest from the Charleston navy paper (picture shows Blue and Gold skippers receiving the sculpture — too dark to print). 1 was 99

thinking of donating one to be raffled off among the '48ers who gave $10 or more in '83. Unfortunately, sales have been slow lately, and I'm not ready to offer that. I would be happy to conuibute one for that purpose for $100 to pay the foundry cost with myself absorbing other costs. They seU for $295, which is low for a bronze of this size and quaUty. If things pick up later maybe I'U pay the total cost. BiU Busik has one at Alumni House if you want to see what one looks Uke. Each one is a bit different and the patina is now a 'leather' color with bronze highUghts.

"Tom Dawson and I stiU work at Litton Data Systems. We wiU be going to San Diego on 30 September for an 18th Co. '48 reunion. This is a foUow up on one we had in Denver two years ago.

We expect about 12 to show up. Tom Dawson has made aU the arrangements and done an outstanding job. The Pete Jeffersons wiU host the group for dinner on the 30th. SaUy and I had a great East Coast vacation on the Eastern Shore and at Rehoboth in July. The Severn River Bridge was our closest point of approach to Crabtown. It evoked recoUection of Plebe Summer cutter races with Chuck Strahley bending a fine oar and Coxwain GaitskiU urging crew 316 on to the finish Une!" BUI Wagner also notes: "We had the sad duty to attend Shel Hirsch's funeral recently and saw Shel just two weeks before he died. Shel displayed his characteristic fighting spirit and strength of character combined with real interest in and concem for others right to the end. He was a Classmate we can be proud of."

IncidentaUy, if YOU want to order a bust of Tecumseh from BiU, write to 20315 CaroUna Circle, Chatsworth CA 91311. MeanwhUe, I'd appreciate some feedback on BiU's idea for a '48 raffie.

While I am mentioning names, I'll Ust the joUy group who attended our September luncheon at the New Orleans' House which, of course, is always the 2nd Tuesday of the month at the same place. Imbibers in good food and fellowship were: Andy Nelson, Pooley Wood (reported that son, Brian is now in UF-24 at Miramar, which is the same numbered squadron that Pooley reported to at Santa Rosa in 1951), J.C. Barrow, Klemm, John Walker, Synhorst, Albers, Francis, Tolbert, Riegert, Benoit, J.F. Barrow, Kremidas, Hammer, Boughton. Items discussed included Homecoming, 35th Reunion, and 1983 Dark Ages Party.

Bob Salomon, Ted Annenburg, Tom (F.T., Jr.) Watkins, and Elliott Schuman at Ocean, New Jersey Last month we mentioned the Geisha party held by some companymates at Bob Solomon's sauna and carry-out shop which had been forwarded by Paul Laric. Now we have the pleasure of seeing this decadent group: 1. to r.. Bob, Ted Annenberg, Tom Watkins (F.T. Jr.), and one "EUiott." Hmm!

49 Sec'y Mr. T. Paul Riegert Class '49 PO Box 2741, ArUngton VA 22202 Percent Members: 64 I guess that the big news this issue is Homecoming. Since this is being written before the event, I caimot report on activities. However, 1 can Ust the names of Classmates who made reservations to attend the Alumni bash on Friday and/or our class party on Saturday. They are: Bodagers (from Newtown Square PA) J.C. Barrows, (Somerset VA), J.F. Barrows, Capones, Carvers, Francises, Gutheries, Bob HaU, Horans, KUcUnes (Norfolk VA), Boughtons, Koehlers (Philadelphia), McCuUoughs (Norfolk), Metcalfs, Riegerts, Frank Ward, (Clearwater FL), Wolfords, G.P. (Pooley) Woods, Klemms, McTammanys (Acton MA), Josephsons, EngUshs (Maplewood NJ), Badings, Hammers, Weavers (Dayton OH), Callaghans (home from Europe), Bennets, McDonalds, Nelsons, Tolberts, Killeens, Margaret Kirk (GUbert's widow), Knoizens (Wiersdale FL), Steve Krauses, Sandkuhlers (Hainesport NJ), McCaUiuns, Frosts, Beckwiths, James C WUsons, Truebloods (Norfolk), Ralph Murphys, Whitesides, Haskells, Blacks, Grabowskys (along with Knoizen, used their motor homes to anchor our taUgate party). There were 65 reservations for our class party and an additional 16 for the Alumni bash and dinner. Of course, aU the above were invited to the cocktaU party at Ed Wallers and to be his guests at the midshipmen's parade Friday afternoon.

Our class memorial honor scholars were invited to drop by at our class party. They are: Midn. 2/c 100

Tim and Peggy Creamer, married in Oxon Hill (MD) prior to being staUoned at Fort Knox

Changes of address: BiU and Betty CaUaghan have retumed from Europe to their old homestead on Wolf Tree Lane in RockviUe (MD); Harry and Catherine Train have moved to 1002 MagnoUa Ave., Norfolk VA 23508 (same phone niunber): Cal and Jodi LiUeen have moved to 1501 NataU Joy Lane, McLean VA 22101, phone 730/442-8557. We need new addresses for the following Classmates whose invitations to Homecoming were retumed: Richard Romley, Ken Bott, Bob Hiebert, and Lou ChurchiU. Wally Valencia sends the class his feUcitations and an invitation to visit with him in Puerto Rico; call his office 809/781-6600 or his home 809/726-2125. WaUy regrets that he cannot make this Homecoming, but promises to be at the 35th in '84. He said that he saw Tom Kilcline and Hairy Train recently in Roosevelt Roads, and woiUd like to see more of the Class come to Puerto Rico.

Norm Altman wants to inform the Class that he has moved from Export, Pennsylvania, to 38 Rockery Way, HUton Head Island SC 22928 and that he enjoys HUton Head considerably more than Pittsburgh.

Since 1 had no news inputs this issue, I phoned one of our Classmates in Orlando, Florida. Lon Branch Uves 7 mUes from the naval base in Orlando. He has retired from banking and reports that his oldest daughter married a professor at University of Central Florida, and his youngest daughter wiU graduate next Spring from Clemson University. He was last year's president of the Orlando Chapter of the Naval Academy Alumni Association (100 members) and John Majesky was the secretary. The Chapter meets the 2nd Friday of every month, â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lou says, "Come and jom the fim." He sees Ed Pratt ocassionaUy, and said that Ed has retired from his real estate investment business. Lou also said to give the Class his regards and promises to see us at the 35th.

Being December, and being out of news, I puUed something from the fUes which was not published (and 1 don't know why), A Christmas Greeting to the class from Paul Laric last year: With approaching senUity and incurable ham-itis as my excuses, I offer (with apologies to USNA Reef Points) the foUowing reply to a frequentiy asked question on WaU Street: Q: How's the Dow? A: She's buUs and bears; she's full of scares; the tremors generated by the fluctuations of this mighty barometer are proUfic to the Nth degree . . . Sir. Best wishes to you and other '49-ers in your area for a Merry Christmas and hoUday season. May I extend that wish to 1983, and to AU Classmates everywhere. Thanks to everyone who sent input to this column. It is appreciated more than you reaUze. We stiU need more contributors with photos, so keep the news coming. Semperfi, TPR.

50 Sec'y, Capt. Wayne L. Jensen USN (Ret.) 499 SkyhiU Ct., Chula Vista CA 92010 Percent Members: 63 Maria and Alan Jasper married on 12 June at the Fort Myer Chapel Also, a couple of pictures of newlyweds with class connections. Our best wishes to these couples.

At various times we have reminded the Class of '50 that it was necessary that they update theu- "Ufe information" with the Aliunni Association so that aU of theu many friends and associates may know of their accompUshments and contributions over the years. In this we have been less than successful.

Shipmate, December 1982

To this we can only add — if you don't keep the Alumni Association informed — you wUl probably die and very few wUl be aware. Most in the Classes of '26 and '27 vriU probably say, "Why is the Class of 50 concerned?" And we must reply, "It happens all the time." Our latest information to which we wish we could add more meaningful information as to a respected classmate is a note from Tyler Wooldridge inforining us that Nicholas Vytlacil Jr. died on 2 October 1982 in Soquel, Calif. His widow lives at 3800 Flaconer Dr., Soquel CA 95073.

Judy and Mark Frudden now Uve at 306 Monroe Street, Iowa City lA 52240, and Judy writes to observe that she and Dorothy Jensen were pregnant at almost the same time and going for checkups in Florida and that it didn't seem so many years back. She also remembered that when Wayne's ship — the USS YORKTOWN — arrived in Hawaii — that he had an on-going chess game with the result of that same pregnancy, and that the son, Stephen, would probably win over the next six months of the deployment of the YORKTOWN. The FPO mail was not too swift in those days. Mark noted that he was pleased to note that Navy had beaten Duke in football and that oldest son had just relocated from Des Moines to San Jose, California. In line with that we hope to get the Fruddens down to San Diego. Jim DiNardo checks in from Norfolk, Virginia, to say that he needed John Coughlin's address and he didn't know where to turn except to the C S . We were happy to supply that address. Jim mentions that John was in his company formed at Navy Boot Camp at Great Lakes in 1943. A group of them formed a close friendship caUing themselves, "The Big Eight." That group held a reunion in New York City on the 8th of October. Jim goes on to point out that he was never the one for very good planning and that he now has four in coUege at the same time. To which your C S . points out, "The best investment a person could ever make!"

From Annapolis, Tom Ross writes with very sensitive observations as to the retirement of Classmate Chuck Greenwood in Annapohs. The retirement ceremony took place in Memorial HaU on tiie 21st of September 1982 at 1600. Chuck had taken the oath as a Midshipman in the same place in 1946. Don't you all remember — we were aU there! From the Class that were there were: John Cavanaugh (very sentimental), Ed Gninwald (aU must retire eventually), Byron Lee, Tom Ross (Ann in Europe with parents), and PhU Ryan.

Chuck was presented with the Legion of Merit for his outstanding performance of duty as Senior Chaplain at the Naval Academy. As the Chief of Chaplains said. Chuck epitomized the ideal Navy Chaplain, and he even sailed his own boat down to his new parish in Tampa, Florida, where he'U be pastor of a Presbyterian Church. Chuck was the first to observe that it was nice to have the Superintendent, Commandant of Midshipmen and Chief of Chaplains to attend your retirement ceremony, but to have the Naval Academy Choir honor such an event was the frosting on the cake!

R.R. Monroe signs m from Director R.D.T. and E. and Uving in the Navy Yard in Washington (DC). As recognized in last months's article, aU had welcomed the new CNO to Washington at Tom Hayward's garden party. In mid-September, the Monroes hosted a smaU gathering of active duty survivors of '50 as could get together in DC. That amounted to eight couples — Baggetts, Bigleys, Coopers, Kempfs, Lisanbys, Millers, Monroes and Shicks. Interestingly, four of the group are Uving in the Navy Yard. R.R. adds that he wishes to contribute to an accurate count of '50 on active duty, and his estimate is that there

Shipmate, December 1982

are 14 — the eight listed above, plus Foley (Hawaii), Hays (London), Schultz (Europe), McGarrah (Norfolk), Palmerton and Tripp (AF).

Char and Bob hope to get to California one day and to renew acquaintances.

Washington-area news has not so much to offer except that they stiU get together and from that a bit of news is generated. At the 5 August luncheon at the Flagship Restaurant there were 25 in attendance: Arnold Austin, Willy Ayres, Frank Carter, John Cavanaugh, Bill DeMers, Jerry Coleman, WaU Flint, Roy Highberg, Cliff Hopkins, Stew Hughes, Jim Kennedy, Bill Kiehl, Ward Lasley, Jim Lisanby, Gayle May, John McNaUy, Dick MUler, Lee Minnis, Bob Oliver, Dick Powell, Tom Ross, Frank Roth, Bill Simons, Roy Snyder and Ted Speaker. WUly Ayres announced that son, Keith, USNA '82, is starting flight training at Pensacola. Seventeen Classmates attended the 9 September luncheon: Willy Ayres, Pete Block, Kelly Carr, John Cavanaugh, Bill DeMers, Roy Highberg, Stew Hughes, Jim Kennedy, BiU Kiehl, Don JarreU, Ward Lasley, John McNally, Bob Oliver, Dick Powell, Tom Ross, Frank, and Roy Snyder.

On the 28th of September, 1982, Earl K. DUIe was elected and instaUed as the 137th Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Missouri A.F. & A.M. during the 1982 Grand Lodge Communication. Our Classmate, also known as Brother DiUe, is executive vice president of Union Electric Company in St. Louis, and serves on the board of directors of a number of companies and organizations.

He is a Past Master of Clayton Lodge No. 601 and was appointed in the advancing Grand Lodge in 1974. He has served on the Grand Lodge Committee on Masonic Education since 1972, and was Chairman of the Committee from 1974 to 1979.

He is a member of Missouri and Iowa Lodges of Research, National Sojourner, Quatuor Coronati Circle, Scottish Rite, Valley of St. Louis, K.C.C.H. 1973, Missouri Chapter No. 1 R.A.M., Jeremiah Council No. 48, Cryptic Masons, and St. Aldermar Commandery No. 18. Along with all of this. Brother DiUe finds time for music and golf!

H.R. "Bud" Lockwood writes from 18435 Tihon Court, Brookfield WI 53005, to express his concern to your C S . for the loss of his son and then to announce with great sadness that he had lost wife Marilyn who died on 1 September 1982.

MarUyn was a very gracious person and aU who had the chance to know her would agree. The Jensens were most fortunate to have had a tour of duty with the Lockwoods in the mid-fifties and will always treasure a weekend with them in San Francisco at which time they even managed to have dinner at the "Top of the Mark" and a chance to watch the fog come in over the Golden Gate Bridge. Marilyn had a 3'/2 year bout with Lou Gehrig's disease, and maintained a great view to the future throughout. A memorial service was conducted in Brookfield, with the funeral in HorneU, New York, on the 4 September '82.

In this December issue of Shipmate one Uttle known fact shoiUd be surfaced one more time, and that is that the Class of 1950 was given privileges of "Carry-on" to Christmas because of the near fantastic near total domination of Army in the Navy-Army FootbaU game of the year of 1946.

No football game has ever had more meaning for a greater segment of society.

51 Sec'y, Cdr. Jack HamUton, USN (Ret.) 9215 Cutting Horse Court Springfield VA 22153 Percent Members: 60 This month's spiel opens with a prophesy! Ifv/e got by Notre Dame, this year's Navy team greets you as you read this with an 8-3 record, and a hkely bowl bid. A good one. Being more realistic, perhaps, let's say lA, less the Irish, and stiU a bowl bid. Who knows?! For aU those who think I'm the eternal pessimist.

Some future occasions. First, the winter formal, which will be at Fort Myer on Saturday, 5 February. Best bib and tucker, or, if you insist, a dark suit. $40 per couple gets you a good time, one to remember, as they usuaUy are. Always well attended, and getting better every year. So sign up soon by sending your check to your Class Secretary (capitals intended!). So, even though we usually send the flyer only to PA, DE, MD, VA, WV and DC, you outsiders can say you were notified.

Come join us — stay with someone here — give us a call. Band, good food, what more?!

Next, our annual meeting departs from tradition, of necessity, because of avaUabUity. Last year we were at Alumni House in Annapolis and all seemed to enjoy it. So we were back there again, except this time it's 16 April. For this one you'll aU get the word — by charter! Inforrnal dress, guessing 1600-1700 meeting, with refreshments for the gals upstairs. Should be a short meeting, with election for three directors, a chance to explore new ideas for a class gift, and talk about the '83 and '84 class cruises. Dinner afterwards, and bar maintained. So please come join us — at your meeting. Nice time of year too!

The October luncheon at the Flagship was a good one — 17 joined for a casual and good time: Dean, Brodie, Woodbury, Meader, Tuzo, Marin, Smedberg, Hamilton, Rigsbee, Shaughnessy, Yeager, Mow, Doering, Boyce, Bannerman, Livingston, MueUer. And the usual football talk, and "beltway bandit" business. Remember, the AprU luncheon evey year is for the bride too! Make a note of it.

Bill Lawrence proudly presents wings to his daughter Wendy, Class of 1981 In a ceremony at NAS Whiting Field, Florida, on 30 July 1982, VAdm. BUI Lawrence pinned Na-vy pilot wings on his daughter. Ens. Wendy B. Lawrence USN '81. Wendy's maternal grandfather is RAdm. McPherson Berrien WiUiams USN (Ret.) '30. Wendy wiU report to HeUcopter Combat Support Squadron SIX in Norfolk, Virginia, for her first fleet assignment.

"Those wedding bells are ringing for that old gang of mine!" Glad tidings and best wishes from all of us for Chuck Rushing who took the hand of Mary Stagg in marriage in mid-October. Chuck 101

works for EG&G, Washington Analytical Services Center, Inc. They will reside at 10724 Middleboro Drive, Damascus MD 20750.

Two occasions in September, retirement both.

RAdm. BUI Smedberg passed the baton to Lee Baggett '50 as Deputy CNO for Naval Warfare.

Ann and Bill remain here in the Washington area, and Bill can be found anywhere between home in Alexandria and the golf course at Army-Navy!

RAdm. Lou Sarosdy passed the baton also, as Assistant NavAir for Logistics Fleet Support, and was hosted and feted at a retirement party at the Washington Navy Yard on 15 September, with Classmate Dick Livingston in attendance, as well as Bev and Al WUliams. More of Al later. Mary and Lou are still in the Washington area at last report.

Guess how many Classmates are still on active duty! The number is 15, all Admirals except Chuck GiUespie, and aU Rear Admirals except VAdm. Bill Lawrence and Adm. Kin McKee. In alpha order, here they are, with apologies for titles: Stan Anderson, Commander Naval Logistics Command, Pacific Fleet and Commander Naval Base, Pearl Harbor; Al Burkhalter, executive director for the intelligence community. Central Intelligence Agency; John Butts, director of naval inteUigence; Ed Carter, Commander Operational Test and Evaluation Force; Bob Dunn, Chief of Naval Reserve; Rich Fontaine, deputy Director for Command, Control and Communications Systems, JCS; Chuck GUIespie, Range Director, Pacific Missile Test Center; Lee Kollmorgen, Chief of Naval Research; Paul Lautermilch, Director of Command and Control Planning and Programming, OP-940; BUI Langenberg, Selected Reserve, mobUization biUet: Assistant Deputy Commander, Logistics, Commander Naval Surface Forces, Pacific Fleet; Bill Lawrence, Commander THIRD Fleet; Kin McKee, Director, Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, Department of Energy and Deputy Commander, Nuclear Propulsion, Naval Sea Systems Command; Joe Metcalf, director.

Planning and Program Division, OP-90; Paul Tomb, vice director. Joint Strategic Connectivity Staff, Omaha; and Al WUUams, director Aviation programs Division, OP-51. This is as of 1 October.

Your board of directors has kicked around for some time the idea of having regional vicepresidents, hoping to spur some class activity in the hinterlands. The Washington-Annapolis area is really no exception, because we rarely get 20% attendance at any event save a five-year reunion.

But that's a local problem. Until we get something formalized, starting in this issue we're going to list Classmates by area, state initially, and their addresses, hoping that someone will get the notion to gather the clan now and then, and also help us with address changes, although that doesn't seem to be such a problem anymore. Anyway, we'U start with the states of Maine, Rhode Island and New Hampshire (sorry, no one in Vermont!), and leave Massachusetts and Connecticut with their larger aggregations for next issue.

MAINE: Cdr. Dana Estes II USN (Ret.), Box 626, Qgunquit ME 03907; LCdr. Homer J. Grace USN (Ret.), 138 Lincoln St, Bath ME 04530; Cdr. William J.

One final note for the year. Out of 725 gratis, 646 survive. Only one deceased that we know of among the non-grads, of whom about 20 are located and some very active. So, hang in there, gang, and as we close out another year a Merry Christmas to you all and our best wishes for a Happy, Successful and Healthy New Year ahead (this substitutes for our cards this year!).

Hannegan USN (Ret.) 9378 Tartan View Drive, Fairfax VA 22032 Percent Members: 58 Having had a highly successful football career at the Academy as a twelfth string plebe squad halfback, the arrival of football season provides me the opportunity to show off my keen knowledge of the sport. After each home game, the concluding tailgate gathering is a forum for me, and the other hindsight coaches, to evaluate the team's performance. Since none of us Ustens to conflicting opinions, there is no danger that my monologue, nor that of anyone else, wiU give offense.

Pointless? Possibly, but it adds to the fun of tailgating, and from the size of the turnouts at the first two home games the enjoyment is widely shared. At the Virginia game the attendees included: Petey and Biscuit Wev, Penny Vahsen, Betty and Jim Fischer, Rita and Garnett Bailey, Marianne and Bob Compton, Ann and Harry Bixby. Tut and Bill Reed, Betty and Bob Caulk, Jim Troutman, Muff and Jim Nunneley, Ann and Jerry Thompson, Fran and Ron Hattin, Tom Thawley, Barbara and Pete Stark, Martha and Toxey Califf, Jim Wilson, Deedee and Virge Moore, Nancy and Gene AvaUone, Mary Jayne and Mark Tuzo, Joan and Vince Argiro, Mary and Bill Zobel, Julie and Bill Ryan, BiU Fisher, Frieda and Mel Meltzer, Jackie and Tom Meeks, Emily and John Haaren, Eloise and Doug Payne, Helen and Lou McMillan, Dolly and Ed Leonard, Merry Anna and Curt Karvala, June and Jake Brown and Nancy and Frank Hannegan.

Following the win against UVA, and the fine performance at the University of Akansas, the Boston College game was somewhat of a disappointment, but enthusiasm still was evident in the parking lot. Those present included Mary-Lin and Demp Jackson, Jackie and Tom Meeks, BiU Balint, Tut and Bill Reed, Nancy and Gene AvaUone, Mary Jayne and Mark Tuzo, June and Jake Brown, Petey and Biscuit Wev, Judy and Bill Jacobson, Helen and Lou McMillan, Jim WUson, Dick Case, Fran and Ron Hattin, Nancy and Frank Hannegan, Martha and Toxey Califf, Joan and John Beecher, Dolly and Ed Leonard, Emily and John Haaren, Marianne and Bob Compton, Rita and Garnett Bailey, Tom Thawley, Bill Studabaker, Jim Fischer, Frieda and Mel Meltzer, Jim Troutman, Ann and Harry Bixby, and Peggy and Jim Keane. As you can see, the turnout at both games was considerable, and with all the milling around I'm sure I missed someone. For that 1 apologize, but it's hard to be perfect in all things.

From Houston, Texas, comes word that Larry Hicks has been promoted to vice president of the mineral industries and heavy construction group of Brown and Root Inc. Larry's success, both in the Navy and in civilian life, is testimony to his great talent and 1 know 1 speak for all his friends and Classmates when 1 say, "WeU Done!"

Middle South Utilities, Inc. has recognized that talent of another '52er, Jack Richard. Jack, following a highly successful Navy career in submarines, became manager of system nuclear operations for Middle South Services Inc., and now has been appointed interim managing director of Middle South Energy, Inc., the major owner of the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station near Port Gibson, Mississippi. Larry Layman told me that this fine promotion was not the only highlight in the Richards' Summer. Ann and Jack saw their son Chip married on the eleventh of September; thus best wishes and congratulations are in order on both counts.

While on the subject of happy occasions.

Carmen and Larry participated in a personal and very important ceremony within their own family. Their son, John Robert Layman, graduated from the University of Missouri in May, and on the 26th of August complete AOCS and was commissioned an ensign in a private ceremony by his father.

On Saturday the 25th of September, the U.S. Naval Station Seattle, Sand Point, Washington, was the location of a change of command in which RAdm. Whitney Hansen USNR assumed responsibility as Commander U.S. Naval Reserve Readiness Command, Region Twenty-two.

Joe Pidkowicz reports he has been working for the Department of Energy, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, in advanced reactor development since October of 1962. Anne and Joe have five children, twin sons and three daughters. One son is a doctor in the Navy stationed in the San Francisco area, a daughter is in pre-med at college and the youngest daughter is in the ninth grade. Anne and Joe will tear themselves away from their first grandchild to join us at the 30th. By the way, for the golfers, Joe says he's ready to take home the trophy this year. (Hope springs eternal.)

BUI Balint is vice president of Life Support Systems Division, CSE Corp. He wrote that his division is buUding self-contained self-rescuers for miners, utility workers, wine makers who enter vats, etc. Bill retired as a Captain in the Naval Reserve in 1976, but with his job, civic involvement and participation in numerous organizations he manages to stay reasonably occupied. As a matter of fact, he has decided to focus his community interests by running for Congress in the 4th Congressional District of Pennsylvania commencing with the Republican Primary in May 1984.

Good luck. Bill; we look forward to seeing you and Shirley here in Washington come January '85.

A few quickies: Doug Payne is a senior analyst with Quantics, Inc.; Tom Meeks is with Science and Management Resources Inc.; Dave Altwegg is COMCRUDESGROUP 2 in Charleston; Lanry Skantz is DCS, Research, Development and Acquisition, HQ USAF; and BUI Shanahan is admissions director for the Massachusetts Maritime Academy.

The September luncheon here in Washington saw a very good turnout. Those able to make it were: Jim Smith, Ed Sebes, Garnett Bailey, Sheldon Drews, Tom Thawley, Gus Eggert, Tom Norman, Ted Lutz, Jerry Hyndman, George Lesser, Bob Jacob, Art Thompson, BiU Roberts, John Langford, Jake Brown, Vince Manara, John Beecher, Hork Dimon, Jack O'DonneU, John Yamnicky, Bill Reed, Tom Meeks, Neil Prince,

Shipmate, December 1982

Tom Gronlund, Brice Bradshaw, Howard McCallum, Jim Wilson, Bill Ryan, Jim Fischer, Gene AvaUone, Harry Bixby, Joe Portney and Bill Studabaker.

Received a note from Rosemarie Blades with information regarding the opening of a new Computer Center Building in Dahlgren on 24 September which has been named for Todd — a most fitting testimony to a fine and learned Classmate. RAdm. Wayne Meyer made the dedication speech and, along with Rosemary, presented the dedication plaque. What a fine way for the Navy to give a special thanks you to a shipmate for a job Well Done!

Since this is the 3rd of October and 1 have a trip to San Francisco tomorrow, it's time to wrap up for this year. It's a weird world writing this column, but anyway. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! — Hank '52.

Ted Gerst sent along an article featuring CharUe McLean which appeared in their company (Vitro) newspaper. Charlie and his wife Claire are co-owners of the Deewal Kennels in Deale, Maryland, where they breed Bouvier des Flandres. Introduced in the United States in the 1930s, Bouvier des Flandres originated in Belgium.

These dogs were used during World War I for Red Cross work, message carrying, and pulling small artUlery pieces. In World War II some were sentry dogs in Europe and a few served in the U.S. Coast Guard coastal patrol. During both conflicts, the Germans tried to exterminate them.

According to Charlie, this breed has one of the highest percentage rates for successfuly completing guiding eye training. Of 37 Deewal dogs entered, 35 graduated and are with blind people.

Claire and Charlie inherited Deewal Kennels in 1972 from Claire's aunt and have since that time bred or owned 55 champions. In 1976, they had the number one top-producing dam, all breeds.

Currently, Deewal Keimels claims both the number one top-producing dam and stud dogs in the history of the breed.

'56 West continues to be up and running, with a reasonable level of activity and an increasing number of Classmates participating regularly. We are taking extraordinary steps to avoid becoming organized, and this may account for our phone tree expansion from a dozen to over 30 during the past few years. Also, our luncheons are hosted by volunteers, and so far someone has always come

forward with only a mild case of twisted arm to relieve the incumbent.

Here is a summary of recent past and near future action, as of this writing in September '82: May 82: Gerry Fulk change of command, from CO USS JOUETT to CO Naval Ship Weapons Systems Engineering Station, Port Hueneme.

Jun 82: June Week West, a week end on board QUEEN MARY and visiting the 'Spruce Goose' in Long Beach, hosted by Harold Hussey.

Any attempt to recapture the highlights of our fun and games would require several pages.

Perhaps a single incident can represent it all, the impromptu blast untU 4 a.m. in the Spinks' swanky cabin in QUEEN MARY following a truly outstanding JWW dinner-dance. Add imagination, stir well, and you have the picture.

We guarantee a mini-luncheon for any visiting '56er with about an hour's notice. CaU Jim Thomas at 293-7644 or Joe Talbert at 268-3600.

As an added feature Jim now has a selection of '56 class neck ties, and those who got soup on the old one can get it replaced locaUy for $8.00.

The '56 post 25th at R-Kansas turned out to be a larger '56 get-together than anticipated. In addition to Roy and Skip Furlong and Chanetta and Dick Terrell from San Diego; Susan and Fred Hopewell and Peg and Pete Peterson from the DC area and Muriel and Rog Lyle from downtown Ruther Glen, Virginia (not really down town but within the city Umits anyway) joined Alice and Walter Stammer, Linda and P.J.

Mario had not been able to get together with Classmates since graduation. He is in San Jose on business for several months.

"At about 2300, we decided we had better break up the gathering as we were the only ones left in the restaurant. Since we had such a good time, we have decided to get together again about HaUoween. Carol and Al Schick have volunteered to host that session.

Shipmate, December 1982

So far my commuting to Washington and work in the "5-sided funny farm" has been made easier by carpooling with Joe Flynn. He is a super conversationalist and really " u p " on what is going on in both Navy and Marine Corps circles (and at a very high level); he has kept in touch with lots of Classmates and is a wealth of knowledge; and he is just a heckuva nice guy. NAVY has a big fan in Joe — he still supports NAVY sports as weU as anyone, and does far more than most amongst '59ers . . . and he is a proud papa of a USNA '85er. So Joe gives Lois and the whole family much reason to smile! You should also know that Joe's son Tim is a freshman at Penn State and an outstanding wrestler.

Ran into George Strohsahl in the bowels of the Pentagon the other day. George will soon be the project manager for the F-18 . . . super!! Also I literally ran into Bmce Nordwall and his brother Paul (the latter working in Dept. of Agriculture) while out for a noontime bit of exercise. Bruce is a project manager over in NavAir for TACAMO and other systems. Lou Wardlow was in my office recently; he works for NMPC and is in the know about "mobiUzation" and a host of other matters. Small world as the Army Colonel I am now working closely with was a car poolmate of Lou's and also Bob Gamba who married a super lady, the widow of our beloved Ernie Ehlers, Joanie.

I have stopped in my old office at USNA a few times, and spoken to Rod Tomlinson who is teaching PoliSci. To go into his office is like visiting a "greenhouse" . . . hard for a Midshipman to work his way through the foliage and "Jungle Jim" setting to seek EI, let alone even request permission to ask a question (do they stiU do that at the Country Club of the 80's??? . . . am sure some of our offspring would like to comment on that stab! . . . but I would not take their academic load on any day . . . the magic of steam was tough enough).

Saw in the Navy Times of 18 Oct that Capt. Les N. Palmer was the recorder for the surface major command screening board. And orders were posted for Carl Albrecht to take command of H. E. YARN ALL.

Had a great class luncheon on 14 Oct 82, a super turnout and a great presentation by Al Shinn of the National Science Foundation. Al is very much into "Ocean DrilUng" and attempting to convince Congress that funding is essential to carry on their basic research mission with a modernized and converted ship. EXPLORER. Also at the meeting, Lloyd Adams gave out a very nicely done flyer on Homecoming, with details galore. Lloyd, incidentally, is retired from the Navy and is working for RCA in the Crystal City complex.

Here' some more news from Lloyd: Memorial for Al WUdennan Next Febmary, the Commanding Officer, Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Vallejo, California will dedicate a newly renovated Unaccompanied Officer Personnel Housing (more commonly known as a BOQ) as "Wilderman Hall," in honor of one of our Classmates, Al WUdennan. As you will remember, Alvin WUderman is the Classmate who was lost at sea in November 1973 in heavy weather off the coast of San Francisco when his submarine, USS PLUNGER (SSN-595) was undergoing post-

overhaul sea trials. Guy Curtis, currentiy Chief of Staff, Com Sub Lant, has accepted the invitation of the C O . Naval Support Facility, Mare Island, to speak at the dedication ceremony. Guy has suggested that the Class might also participate in this memorial by sponsoring the purchase and placement of an appropriate display case to display some of Al's memorabilia in Wilderman HaU. 105

Tom Bond has volunteered to coordinate an effort to inform '59ers of this project and accept contributions to be used in this memorial to one of our Classmates. Tom estimates that a suitable display case properly secured could cost several thousand doUars. Furthermore, there could be other expenses that the Navy is unable to cover in getting Al's widow Diane and their two sons to the dedication. It might be appropriate for the Class to help Al's famUy with these expenses if we coUected more than was needed for the display case. The class executive committee fuUy endorses this effort and would like to appeal to all who knew Al to not only contribute to this memorial but also to attend the dedication ceremony if their schediUes will permit. The ceremony is currentiy scheduled to be held on 18th or 19th of February 1983 at the BOQ at Mare Island. It would be a most fitting memorial to Al if we could aU be there for the dedication of WUderman Hall. HopefuUy we can muster up good representation of the Class who can attend!

Those desiring to contribute are asked to send checks, payable to "the Class of 1959," to Tom Bond at 11023 Beamar Ct., Fairfax VA 22030.

Tom can also be reached at home phone 703/385-2946 or at work 202/692-6136 (Autovon 222-6136) if anyone woiUd Uke to caU for additional information. Checks may also be sent to our class treasurer, Steve Snyder, who wiU insure they get deposited in the Al WUderman Fund.

New Item — The class executive committee is starting to gear-up for the '59 SUver Anniversary Class Reunion. It is now less than two years away and we are hoping it wiU be even better than the "Terrific Twentieth." It is planned to be held Homecoming Weekend at AnnapoUs with our class headquarters operating out of the AnnapoUs HUton. We are looking for volunteers to help organize and get Classmates out for our 25th! We are hoping to organize and communicate to the Class by your old Company, therefore the first thing we need is a "Company Rep" for each of the 24 companies in the Brigade when we graduated! Ralph Christy, who was a key organizer for our 20th, has been asked to be the overall Chairman of the " '59 SUver Anniversary Reunion" and is soUciting help now. Ralph's address is 7555 Springlake Drive, Bethesda MD 20034 or can be reached by phone at 301/469-6528. Come on, let's aU pitch in to make this the best and most memorable!

Jack Nourie who lost his wife Annette in 1980 to cancer, has suddenly found himself the head of a famUy three times as big as he has been used to. On 31 July, Jack married the former Margurate Ann (Peg) Sarant, a widow who had lost her husband to cancer. Jack's famUy increased from two teenagers, one dog and one car to six teenagers, two dogs, five automobiles and one very tolerant and understanding wife. Jack left NASA Greenbeh and is now assigned to OP-952F located at the Naval Observatory in Washington (overlooking the residence of the VEEP) and has also moved his newly eiUarged family to larger quarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. "CongratiUations" to Jack and "Welcome Aboard" to Peg, the newest member of the '59 FamUy. New Classmates who have recently moved into the Washington D.C. area: Roger Erickson Supply Officer at USNA; John Heiges TRACOR Inc.; Marty Finerty NAV POLAROCEANCEN; Fred March OPNAV (OP-413); Gary Geist ICAF (STUDENT); Joe Flynn OPNAV (0P09); Bob Wylie OPNAV (OP-954); Les Pahner NAVAL MILITARY PERSONNEL COMMAND (DIRECTOR SURFACE WARFARE OFFICER DISTRIBUTION); and 106

Steve McGanka NAVY RECRUITING COMMAND HQTRS. Duane Stratton was in town recentiy negotiating some business for his company (Center for Planning & Research) located out in the San Francisco Bay area. While he was here Dee and 1 had him out for dinner and an evening with several other Classmates from the old 23rd Company. Lauris and Dick Hunter and Ruth and Mickey Gaverick joined us for an evening of reminiscing and sea stories. One item that we muUed over and aU came up with blank looks was from the "Do you knowwhere?" department. Do you know where the foUowing '59ers from the Twenty-third Company are? Jack Machesky, Jerry Welsh, Herb Richter, Gordon Abercombie, Woody Woodaman, Dusty Rhodes, and Kent Link. If any of the above — (or anyone else) reads this, I would Uke to hear from them or get a good address on them so we can get staned on our SUver Anniversary reunion plans for the 23rd!

Rick Johnson has agreed to be our class coordinator in the Washington (DC) area. Rick takes over from Grant Wright who has been filUng that position, maintaining the Washington-area class directory and keeping our "Phone Tree" effective for the past four years. We appreciate everything Grant has done and hope he gets back into the class organization again soon. (Next step is up to the Class Executive Committee, Grant!)

Thanks, Lloyd!

Saw Ray Yenchko on USNA grounds recentiy, along with his son Chris who is a good runner and a prime candidate for the Boat School with Class of '88. Ray is with Pan Am and Uving in Hollywood, Florida, was thankful to Tom Crompton's son for a grand tour of the Yard and telUng his son Uke it is! Ray was saying that our many Classmates with the airUnes (incl. himselO are a bit nervous with the economic situation. A few have been laid off already.

Our Blue Chip Drum and Bimgle guy, HarrjKorrell, has just received orders to MSCLANT. Harry woiUd be a good volunteer for entertainment committee duty for the 25th reunion!

Judy and John Collins represented the Class weU at the September Severn River Run, a distance of 15 km. I had a chance to cheer 'em on in at the finish Une; I had been the official starter and then handled pubUc annoimcer duties. My PrisciUa also ran weU, finishing 3rd in her 40' age group.

Navy played Arkansas in football on 18 Sept (and played weU too!!). A postgame writeup in the local "crabwrapper" (as they affectionately caU the Capital here) mentioned our '59er and the CO of the ARKANSAS, Denny Read. He seemed to reflect mixed loyalties wearing a "hog hat" (Arkansas) and his naval uiuform . . . a true diplomat, Denny!!

That is news for now . . . RISE AND SHINE '59!!

60 Sec'y, Capt. Robert E. Osmon SC USNR c/o Commander, Fleet Air Mediterranean FPO New York 09521 Percent Members: 54 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all, wherever you may be in the world, and whatever profession you may find yourself engaged in. Best wishes for the New Year. May it bring many blessings on us all.

Bob Byrne writes from CaUfornia, "It's been almost 22 years since we last saw each other and almost as long since I last wrote to Shipmate. If

I may, I woiUd like to give a quick recap of my activities since leaving active duty in 1966.1 have been a civiUan employee of DOD for the past 15 years. At present 1 am the deputy technical manager on the Harpoon system at the Naval Weapons Center, China Lake, CaUfomia. I am also a recent captain (ED) in the naval reserve. My wife Pat and I would be pleased to hear from Classmates visiting the NWC China Lake area.

Our address is 929 Jessica, Ridgecrest CA 93555."

I'm sure Bob woiUd be happy to hear from a few old Classmates, so why not drop him a Une. The Harpoon continues to be a formidable weapon m use by many of our aUies, so your good work is paying off. Bob. Keep it up.

Also received a letter from Jim McConneD, "The Flying Broker," from Lake Tahoe, CaUfornia. His letter was loaded with information about Classmates, so 1 included it in its entirety.

"Thought it might be a good time for my 'letter a decade' to Shipmate. 1 have been a real-estate broker at IncUne VUlage for the past six years and we have Uved here at Tahoe since the Summer of '73. I haven't had much contact with Classmates since the 20th Reunion. Saw Pee Wee Reese at the Navy/Washington game in Seattie in 1980. It was a great day for a Navy victory!! Swapped letters with Paul Dg whUe he was CO on board an AO or AE duty of the San Francisco area. (Paid is now CO of USS NnoTZ and shoiUd be puUing mto Naples in the near future. Hope to do a special on him after we get together.) Talked to Dan Affourtit a few days back; he is a captain with Pan Am. I'm stiU on furlough with Pan Am and am hoping to get back in the near future. From time to time I hear from my old roommates. Ted McOanahan is stiU on active duty and he is a captain stationed in the DC area. Frank Aragone is the owner of a resort in upstate New York.

"Life has been very good to the McConnells here at Lake Tahoe. Real estate hjis been a Uttie down the last couple of years and I have attempted to take advantage of the ttemendous bargains avaUable in the area, hoping to 'cash in' in the boom years of the futtire. We piu-chjised a home on the golf course this Spring. Since business has been slow I've been trying to develop cUents along with my golf game on the Unks each morning before going to the office. Not sure it's working, but I'm having a good time trying. (I'm intending to retire in CaUfomia someday, so you may have me as a frequent visitor, Jim, both Summer and Winter.)

"We are planning to fiy back to the Navy — Air Force game at Colorado Springs in our Piper in early October and hope to see some classmates there. (Please send me a Ust of attendees and acti-vities if you would.) Daughter KeUy is in her second year at the University of Arizona. Sons Tim, 14, and Mickey, 11, are interested in the Navy.

WoiUd like to contact a Classmate who might be CO/XO of a carrier or other West Coast combatant to arrange a dependent-type cruise for the boys. Please pubUsh my request in Shipmate along with my address. (P.O. Drawer 8600, IncUne Village NV 89450; phone # 702/831-4400.)

Perhaps we could swap for a ski weekend at the McConneUs. Any Classmate is welcome to stop by for a cool one. Quick P.S. — Ran into John Pfouts on the golf course today." Thanks for aU the good info, Jim. Glad to know aU is weU with you and the family. I'm siure you'll hear from many Classmates with that offer.

Since I left DC, Dick Pariseau has picked up the gauntlet for providing the attendees at the '60 luncheons in DC. The most recent meeting was September 16 when plans for Homecoming were announced and discussed. NormaUy 1 woiUd inShipmate, December 1982

elude the info in this column, but with a twomonth lead time necessary, I'm afraid it's all OBE by now. At any rate the attendees were Dick Pariseau, Chuck Bingemer, Salim Kanakry, Tom Hutt, Chris Thomas, Doug McKinley, Lee Seligman, Bill Dimsdale, Kris Kristensen, Jim Hancock, Tom Wishart, Leon Everman, Luke Riley, George Marburger, Earle Schweizer, Rusty Hays, Bill Manning, John Rogers, Charlie Roberts, Bob Gamba, Tom Paulsen, Bob Strain, Jack Whitely, John Claman, Harvey Kramer, George Weeks, Don Eirich, JohikChenard, Tom Solak, Ron Brandquist, and Fred Jering. Great turn out, guys. Keep up the good work.

Won this one! Jim Knorr vs. Col. Chuck Flynn USAF on the eve of the Navy — Air Force game

Many of you may remember Chuck Larson, the six striper from '58. He is now RAdm. Larson, at ComSubGm 8 here in Naples. When I was introduced to him he commented it was nice to meet me. I said, "Oh you have met me before, sir.

Sometime around the Fall of 1956." My gosh, Elvis Presley was just a kid off the street then. At any rate Mike Wiltsie is serving as his executive assistant and shoiUd be back in the States by the time you read this column. As for myself I spent a week in Rota, am headed to London for a week next week, followed up by a week in SigoneUa. Fortunately being a captain in the Med means sometimes travelling in a T-39, so life is good over here. My sons are both playing first string on the Naples High football team. If they win next week end they can tie for the championship, so excitement runs high around here. I have volunteered to do the video taping for the team, so I travel with the team to the away games. In spite of the long rides and sometimes rowdy atmosphere, it's fun to be among high school athletes. Was one myself once. Elvis wasn't even driving a tmck yet in those days.

More next month.

61 Corr. Sec'y, Mr. James L. George ACDA/MA — Room 5499, 320 21st Street N.W. Washington DC 20451 Percent Members: 55 In this, the month that we beat Army, it seems appropriate that we hear from one of our Armytype Classmates. Col. Dan Schroeder USA writes the foUowing very nice letter: "Have finally sat with pen in hand to write my second 'newsgram' to Shipmate in twenty-one years. Main reason for the update is the occasion of my having taken command of the 20th Engineer Brigade at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Since I relieved Howard Graves (USMA '61), the pubUc affairs folks apparently thought it an error when they were asked to also notify Shipmate of the event. At any rate, I thought it appropriate to update y'all as one of Shipmate, December 1982

the class' contributions to the Army. To that end, am enclosing a photo and one of those 'canned' bio sketches. As usual, the sketch is not complete.

One award not mentioned is the Legion of Merit presented prior to my departure from the last assignment at USREDCOM; the second submission is the mention of my oldest daughter, Lauren, who is married to a young lieutenant (of Cavalry yet) and living at Fort Carson, Colorado.

"Just to show that USMA guys have class, as Howard and I trouped the line he arranged for 'Anchors Aweigh' to be played — nothing stranger than to hear an Army Band play that song. As a further statement to my heritage he had the headquarter's buUding directory indicate that the Commander's office is to Port and the Adjutant's to Starboard in the third deck.

"The 20th Brigade is the source of combat engineer support for the XVIII Airborne Corps as part of the RDJTF. As such it is an unique outfit with a pretty full plate of things to do, part of which includes continuing to jump out of airplanes.

"Karen and the girls enjoyed returning to Fort Bragg. We now live in one of the large houses we used to covet 20 years ago when 1firstserved here as a platoon leader and company commander. I mentioned that the #1 girl is in Colorado, #2 daughter, Kris, is a sophomore at Florida State; #3 is a typical high school freshman complete with boys hanging around the house; #4 is a typical 12-year old trying to figure out what the matter with her sister is; the family is rounded out by me, Karen and two Old English Sheepdogs. Before leaving Tampa last June, we did see some folks at the newly estabUshed Tampa Bay Chapter of the Alumni Association. In fact, on a couple early morning mns through the neighborhood, I had the pleasure of keeping Mel Long company — he's an executive with a legal firm in Tampa and looked great. Think I had better get off the stage. If any one is in the FayetteviUe NC or Fort Bragg area, we'd appreciate seeing them or hearing from them at 919/497-7920. Best wishes, Dan Schroeder."

Dan has had a very distinguished career as shown in the following bio from the change of command program: "Colonel Daniel R. Schroeder comes to the 20th Engineer Brigade (Combat) (Airborne Corps) from the US Readiness Command, MacDill Air Force Base, Florida. He is a native of New York City and began his military service as an enlisted man in the US Navy. Upon graduation from the Naval Academy in 1961, he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the US Army Corps of Engineers.

"His first assignment was with the 307th Engineer Battalion, 82nd Airborne Division, where he served as a platoon leader, a staff officer and as the commander of the 618th Engineer Company Light Equipment, Airborne. Subsequent assignments include service with the 1st and 5th Special Forces Groups, the 101st Airborne Division, the U.S. Military Academy, and the 8th Infantry Division. After having served with Headquarters, U.S. Army Europe, Colonel Schroeder returned to the 82nd Airborne Division in 1976 to command the 307th Engineer Battalion. His most recent assignment has been with the U.S. Readiness Command.

"Colonel Schroeder is a graduate of the U.S. Marine Corps Amphibious Warfare School, the Armed Forces Staff College and the U.S. Army War College. He holds a Master of Science Degree in Systems Management. He is a master parachutist and his awards and decorations include: The Combat Infantryman's Badge; the Distinguished Flying Cross; Bronze Star with V Device, 4th Oak Leaf Cluster; Air Medal with V, 6th award; Meritorious Service Medal with 1st Oak Leaf Cluster, the Joint Service Commendation Medal; and the Army Commendation Medal with 4th Oak Leaf Cluster.

"Colonel Schroeder is accompanied by his wife Karen and their three chUdren; Kristine (19), Karen (14), and Dana (12)."

Congratulations, Dan, on the command.

Tim DeGarve has given me the following update on some of the Air Force types from the Class. Twelve are still on active duty and one half of them are in the Washington (DC) area. They are: Boots Kuhia and Ron Carlberg who are on the SecDef staff; Carl Morrison serves with the DIA; BiU Jeas is at AF Systems Command Headquarters; Norm Mazurch, on the Air Staff at the Pentagon; and Tim DeGarve, with the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. Moving West, Charlie Ackerman is assigned to the Arnold AFS in Tennessee; John PhUlips is at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio; Mike Freney, at the Air Force Academy in Colorado; and Bob Sample at Travis AFB, CaUfomia. John McDonald is at Eglin AFB in Florida and Mike McMiUan is with the AWACS program in Brussels, Belgium.

Now that the Army and Air Force have done their jobs, how about some of you Navy guys writing a letter.

Anyway, there will be quite a lot to report in the next column on Homecoming, elections, new constitution amendments, etc. For the immediate future, we intend to have some type of Christmas affair, probably a happy hour, in December. The exact time, date and place will be given via Bob Hofford's phone tree.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. A nice New Year's resolution would be to write to yours tmly at least once a year.

GET IT DONE WITH '61

62 Sec'y, Cdr. Howard Pinskey SC USNRR P.O. Box 3380, AnnapoUs MD 21403 Percent Members: 52 Happy Holidays to all of you.

WeU, our long awaited 20th Reunion week end is history and the Class is to be congratulated on one of the finest Homecoming events ever. The photographs and other news of this week end will be featured in our January-February issue of Shipmate.

Two letters shoiUd be pubUshed at this time. One is from the 20th Reunion chairman. Lex Fleming, 107

and the other from our association president, Wayne Hickam. Both do justice to the spirit, enthusiasm, cooperation and results of the past two and one half years of planning.

States Lex: "The 20th Reunion is over and the 25th is on the horizon. From the verbal and written expressions of appreciation that the 20th Reunion Committee has received from those attending, you considered it a success and that made all the planning and arranging worthwhile. The only complaint that we've heard was that everyone needed more time to be able to socialize with all the people who were there. Maybe next time it will be a four-day event.

"Mostly, I'd Uke to use this opportunity in Shipmate to again thank Kathy and Ken MacKenzie, Rick Foley, and the rest of the committee for all their time and effort. Thanks also to all of you who attended and made our 20th a memorable and record-setting affair, the biggest ever at USNA — any Class, any year — with 646 attendees.

And, from Wayne: "To: AU Members of the 20th Reunion Committee Congratulations on a superb 20th Reunion. The ultimate goal was achieved — everyone had a great time and went home with a feeling of renewed or freshly started friendships and a rekindled association with the USNA. The most common comments during the week end and since then have centered on: three days wasn't enough time to talk to everyone that was there; getting company activities started again; and having social activities in areas of dense Classmate populations. Your planning and attention to detail made it possible for everyone to feel very free and at ease; they truly enjoyed themselves for the entire week end.

"The class officers and directors recognize that a large amount of time and effort was spent by a lot of people to make everything work as smoothly as it did and enough advance communications with all Classmates to make them want to take part in a great week end. The USNA Alumni House feels that '62 has set a historical record in that 307 Classmates and a total of 646 attended, breaking a 20th Reunion or perhaps any reunion attendance record.

"Special recognition must go to Ken and Kathy MacKenzie for theu tireless effort and turning their office into the 20th Reunion headquarters; Stew Lingley and the database keepers for keeping everyone informed of valid addresses and telephone numbers of all classmates; Rick Foley for keeping the cost under budget and the finances straight; Mike McGrath for his dinner program covers and artistic support; Vic ReUing for producing the mugs, platters and history layouts; J.R. Brown in his faithful assistance and support in all activity planning; Tom Uber for a most fitting conclusion to a great weekend with a Memorial Service to those who are deceased; and to Lex Fleming as Chairman in keeping the whole committee on a steady course for 2'/2 years of planning.

"The officers, directors, and all Classmates owe you all a deep debt of gratitude for a job WELL DONE. The 25th Silver Reunion will be hard pressed to surpass your efforts."

Passing down tradition from father to son and daughter, the foUowing midshipmen are offspring of members of our Class and are in the Academy as members of the Class of 1986.

Cheryl L. Laws, daughter of Lt. Richard Laws, deceased; James R. McNeal, son of Robert McNeal; and John K. Martinella, son of Capt. Sal Martenelli CEC USN. Congratulations to Cheryl, James and John.

We are stUl looking for lost Classmates. Thanks to Andy Sundberg we found Dale Brandt, work108

ing on Digital Equipment Europe in Geneva, Switzerland. That leaves only Paul Jeffers, Pedro Malave, and Larry Stackhouse missing from our address files. Not a bad number out of more than 800 names. If you have knowledge of these people, or change your own address, please notify this column so that we can keep our records current and accurate.

Roger Kisiel, outgoing treasurer, issued his final financial report after 23 years in that post and passed the mantle to Ken McKenzie. Our balance as of 15 September 1982 was $8,780.73.

At our annual class meeting held at Homecoming, it was voted to implement on a class-wide basis our Fund Drive and Project Committees. I will serve as the Fund Drive chairman, and Vic ReUing will be the Project chairman. We will work directly for the Association president and board of directors. At the meeting it was voted to set a goal of $62,000.00 to be collected by Homecoming 1986. During these four years, various major projects will be forwarded by our Classmates and voted on. One or more will be selected, depending on funds required. Academy approval, and complexity of the undertaking. These projects will be worked on during the 1986-87 year and wiU be dedicated by our Class at Homecoming 1987 — our 25th Reunion. A detailed letter will be sent to all Classmates explaining the mechanisms for accomplishing this ambitious goal. The Class of '62 can easily accompUsh this task.

The Class is still accepting contributions to the Project Fund in memory of Art Vansaun. As requested by his widow Jan, these monies will be donated to the Muscular Dystrophy Association in the name of the Class and given in honor of Art's memory. Please send your contribution to this column.

Classmates Jim Coopersmith and wife Toni are living in the Kansas City area where he is a special agent for Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company.

He and BiU Benton of Kansas City TWA fame are making plans to coordinate class efforts in the Midwest region.

Abby andilim Werlock are in Washington (DC) where Jim is a freelance writer and Abby teaches at the National Cathedral School.

Nancy and Dusty Rhodes live in Marco Island, Florida, along with son Donald. Daughter Linda is away at Florida State and daughter Cameron is at the University of Alabama. Dusty is quite busy combining several careers at once. He is a DC-10 pilot for Pan American airlines, an attorney and partner in a law firm with offices in Marco Island and Jacksonville, and the founder and managing director of a land development company dealing in residential and commercial projects. In addition, he is active in Florida politics, having recently directed the campaign of the states attorney general. Not a bad way to keep your days filled with excitement. Here is a 1980 photo of the Rhodes family, taken in Hawaii.

Dusty takes a day off

That's the news for the month. Now that you've renewed contact with your friends and Classmates at the 20th Reunion, you know how much they appreciate hearing from you. We can do this through Shipmate. Please send your Classmates a note this holiday season.

As we close out 1982 and begin 1983 may we all have a healthy and Happy New Year. Don't forget — only 58 months 'tU Homecomine '87!!

"Never laid a glove on me" John Klein writes from La JoUa. After fifteen years of marriage, he and Penny were blessed with their first child. Christian Gerard, about one year ago. The picture of Christian has him wearing the same boxing gloves John wore forty years ago.

Now the Class has a candidate for USNA '04.

Christian can probably also claim honors as youngest child of the Class of '64.

At this time John is on his last cruise to WESTPAC in BELLEAU WOOD. The Kleins hope to be back in the JAX area next May if the splittongued folks in the Bureau can be believed. John says he and Penny have really enjoyed their La JoUa view of Mission Bay and the Pacific but are anxious to return to Florida and their homestead in Orange Park.

Rich Reiser checked with a newsy letter from Saudi Arabia. He, Susan and David are at the King Abdul Agiz Naval Base in Jubail, Saudi Arabia on the Arabian gulf approximately 250 southeast of Basta, Iraq or Abadan, Iran (Rich lets us take our choice!). It's a two-year tour for them and they're hoping to be back home in San Diego in March 1983. Rich mentions that Art Holz lives across the street from their San Diego home. Art is an attorney now as is Jay Eggers who the Belsers also see when they're home. Other '64ers in Jubail are Paul Dow (chief of the Jubail detachment), Lou Robinson (in Jeddah) and Walt Sowa is ordered in to be director of training, (Naval Forces Schools).

Shipmate, December 1982

Rich saw Gerry Dunne, CO of DAVIS, and Jim Arrison, CO of JOHN HANCOCK, when they made recent port calls.

The USN presence at the Royal Saudi Naval Force (RSNF) base is to monitor USN contract which augments RSNF manpower in running the base. New ships for the Saudis wiU be arriving soon from Little Creek. Rich describes these ships as miniature FFGs. The Belsers are living in new and well-equipped housing. However, the lifestyle is tough on the ladies since they can't drive and public transportation is scarce. As a result, although the job has been interesting the Belsers are looking forward to returning to San Diego and Classmates and friends.

Jerry Evans is departing Washington just before winter hits for the warm cUmes of San Diego where he wiU be flying the T-39 until retirement time.

Jerry's wife, Marty, is already there in her new duties as XO of the Recruit Training Command.

They have leased a home in La Jolla and are looking forward to the next few years.

As many of you know, Jerry has been managing the class luncheon program here in Washington the past eighteen months or so. He did a super job for us and we'U miss him. John Tweel and Roland Marquis have volimteered to co-manage the luncheons for the forseeable future. John's office number is 696-4089 to get your name on the Washington phone list. Next scheduled luncheon is 27 January.

Next month we'U have a report on Homecoming '82 along with some pictures (as long as I remember to put film in the camera!).

Unfortunately, Toby and I were unable to break free for it this year. Ah, the demands of duty in Southern CaUfomia!!

Bob Andretta checked in this month with a newsy letter. Bob relayed his career milestones to date, which included tours, following commissioning, on two guided missile destroyers and more than a year in-country Vietnam as senior advisor to Coastal Groups 13 and 14, seeing a good deal of shoot-em-up action. From there Bob migrated to London for an Intel biUet on the staff of CINCUSNAVEUR. He completed his M.A. in International Relations there and then retired in the Summer of 1972 for disabilities resulting from his VN tours. Bob then served on Senator McGovem's Presidential campaign staff and with other politicos on "the HiU" for a couple of years and got married to in the process to the former Betty Hain in 1973. They now have two sons, David, age 6 and Jamie, age 4. Bob completed law school in '77 and is now a garden variety DC government lawyer, serving as a hearing examiner. Bob then got to the real reason for writing. Betty and Bob happen to own a year-round beach house (in partnership with three others) on Annapolis Roads near ToUey Point. One can see the Boat School, Bay Bridge and the Eastern Shore from their front porch. There's a community dock for resident's larger boats and the partnership owns a small motor boat and a Sunfish. One of Bob's partners wants to withdraw so Bob's looking for another to take his place. For more details. Classmates or other USNA gratis can write to Bob at 651 MaryShipmate, December 1982

On board CONSTELLATION

land Ave. N.E., Washington DC 20002 or phone him at work at 202/727-3470 or at home at 202/546-6286. Bob informed us that he's been reffing rugby in the Potomac Rugby Union (along with Mike Malone, our USMC lawyer, now Judge, USN/USMC Court of Mihtary Review in DC) and says that the USNA club is awesome. He counsels that any '65ers being contacted to play in the Navy vs. Navy Alumni rugby match better consider watching more recent gratis carry the ball.

Received a letter and photo from Al Kuntz '78.

It seems he's junior of a plethora of USNA grands assigned to Attack Squadron 165. This squadron of A-6Es, stationed at NAS, Whidbey Island, is commanded by Paul Bloch and Paul is "blessed" with having Boat Schoolers galore filling all the major biUets in his squadron, including department heads, division officers, legal, NSO and even an LSO. In spite of this, Paul's squadron recently deployed on the CONNIE as perhaps the most capable A-6 squadron, what with Tram and Harpoon. VA-165, upon return from cruise, received PACFLT's Maintenance Squadron of the Year and Hughes' Intruder Squadron of the Year Awards. Paul (the only good-looking one) is pictured here in the first row, far left, with VA-165's other USNA gratis, ranging from the Class of '67 to '78.

Noted in the August Navy Times a reference to Ed "Lee" Watkins. Lee was one of two officers (both submariners) to be named winner of the 1982 VAdm. James B. Stockdale Award for inspirational leadership. Lee, now CO, USS HAMMERHEAD (SSN-663), was selected to receive the award by a special board that screened seven finalists nominated by the Pacific and Atlantic Fleet Commanders. Lee's nominating letter, written by a peer, Cdr. Jim Baumstark, '64, CO, USS LAPON (SSN-661), noted that "in extremely demanding and highly competitive operational and administrative environment, Lee Watkins has exceUed across the board. His competence and ability as a professional naval officer are evident in all areas of command management." Noting that Lee's sub earned the SUBRON 6 Battle Efficiency " E , " the CINCPACFLT Golden Anchor and the Ney Memorial Award for food service excellence in FY-81, Cdr. Baumstark said that Lee's accomplishments "span aU facets of leadership, from operational excellence to personnel retention to food service management. As a contemporary in SUBRON 6, Lee is always easy to approach and willing to share the benefit of his experience and lessons learned in various areas of command

management." Way to go, Lee!!

Ran into Jack Olson at a Flag ASW Training Steering Committee meeting in San Diego in October. Jack completed his CO tour of VS-29 this year but has remained in Coronado assigned to

Jack L. Olson NAVAIRPAC Staff. Jack and his wife Marilyn and son John live in Coronado. I resurrected a mug shot of Jack, from his Change-of-Command notice, and here it is.

I saw Dave Schlesinger and Denny McComb at the San Diego area monthly Alumni luncheon in September. For anyone interested, these luncheons are well attended and usually held at the Adm. Kidd Club on the Third Thursday. Reservations can be made through Bob Gorton, '46, at 714/223-7491. Dave (CDR, CEC) is CO of the Construction Battalion ACB-1 in Coronado and lives in Bonita. Denny works as director of property mangement for our Classmate Craig Clark in La Jolla and he and his wife Karen live in San Diego.

Finally, again for the San Diegans among you, Neil Finn, '70, is sponsoring a 5km. Navy vs Notre Dame run, followed by an Army-Navy game brunch at the Pennant in South Mission Beach on 4 December. Anyone interested can contact Neil at 714/488-5915. BEAT ARMY!!

67 Sec'y, Cdr. Don Fraser USN 8310 Terra Grande Ave. Springfield VA 22153 Percent Members: 57 It is difficult to fathom, as I sit in the 83 degree heat wearing my venerable Service Dress Blues, that by the time this column has been put in print I will probably be shoveling snow. Such are the vagaries of the publishing world as well as the weather of Washington (DC). The time warp involved between gaUey sheets and press is three months and changes that occur in the interim may not be discovered until well after the event.

Therefore, reports of our highly successful 15th reunion, the total destruction of the Army footbaU team, and my early promotion to Commodore shall have to wait.

Another weU-attended '67 Washington luncheon occurred in September. Many new faces appeared, and the Class appears to be making positive moves in the field of organization. Ted White was the hands-down winner of the cleverness award by failing to fill our our ubiquitous info form. Instead, a delightful birth announcement was handed to me. Sandy and Ted have added the beautiful Rebecca Alexandra to the Scott and Geoffrey act now playing in FaUs Church, Virginia. Congratulations! At this same luncheon, 1 was assailed by Ron Brino who took umbrage with an earlier column.

He demanded that I correct that misinformation about his employment or he would make me eligible to use some of his products. Brave soul that I am, I ignored his harangue untU 1 found out that he works for the American Hospital Supply Corporation. Also in attendance at the affair was Keefer Welch. Keefer works for the Westin Hotel folks and lives in ArUngton, Virgina. I wonder if it is possible to loft a water balloon into an upperstory comer room of a Westin hotel with a lacrosse stick? (Keefer knows it works in Mother B's eight wing.) Dave Church handed me a whole bunch of info sheets returned by Classmates in receipt of the Homecoming mailing. Here are a few of the folks who answered, arranged alphabetically by height. George Zahn is with H&MS 31 MAG 31 Beaufort, South Carolina. Marisa and Clint Wright reside in Springfield, Virginia, with daughter Jean Marie. Clint works in the Pentagon, heading the studies and requirements section in OPNAV. Nancy and Steve Woodall have set up camp in Aimandale, Virginia, with son John. Steve is a main cog in the CNO's Analysis Division wheel. Beannie and Bill Wise wrote in from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. They have three children. Butch, Jeff, and Lendy. Bill keeps all the spare parts info running in the Navy Ships Parts Control Center. Linda and BUI Vivian are basking in the wonderful California sun in Bonita, along with Wendy and Wm. Steven. 1 should say Linda and the kids are enjoying the sun, since Bill is currently deployed aboard RANGER as XO of 110

HS-2. Linda's expertise at calligraphy was evidenced by a beautiful hand-scribed information sheet. Susan and Deck Waters are now residents of Twin Falls, Idaho, with their daughter Amanda. Deck is vice president of Titlefact, Incorporated, a land-titie company. A stalwart in the Idaho National Guard, Deck says he has installed tailhooks on aU the tanks, but is looking for a qualified LSO so they can start FCLPs. Ifyou are ever in trouble, holler for Deck, and the 116th Armored Cavalry Regiment is likely to come over the hiU. Leslie and Larry Roberts sent in a reply from Cookeville, Tennessee. Larry is an assistant professor in the civil engineering department at Tennessee Tech. He practices his lectures in environinental engineering on his three sons, Jeffrey, David, and Daniel. Patricia and Tom Trompeter are homesteading in Homestead, Florida. Tom works in the law offices of Underwood, Gillis, Karcher, Reinert, and Valle in Miami. Jeffrey and Kristin round out their household. Jackie and John Scalzo are Virginia Beach, Virginia, inhabitants.

John is with COMNAVAIRLANT at NAS Norfolk. John and Jeff are his future midshipmen.

Betty and Dave Stevens are having a grand time in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The famous "diggers and fillers" of AnnapoUs fame had a profound effect on Dave as he is now a doctor of dental surgery. Christian and Tracy Deene provide the smiles on the homefront. Barbara and Merrill Schlegel live in Turnersville, New Jersey, with younger daughter Danielle. Merrill is the supply guy at Naval Station Philadelphia. Donna and Hamp Tisdale are in the middle of Middletown, Maryland. MacGregor and Ian keep things moving around the house. Next time, Hamp will explain what he does for a living on Church Street in Frederick, Maryland. Ann and Jim Tamplin, along with children Jamey and Erik, have settled in Edison, New Jersey. Tired of all the long lines one has to put up with in the Navy, Jim now handles AT&T long lines. Mildred and Tom Samolis are moving to Brentwood, Tennessee.

Mark and John complete this family. Tom works for SuUair of Tennessee out of Nashville. Marlene and David Rost, as well as daughters Debra and Teresa, have moored in Moorestown, New Jersey.

David is a lawyer and works with RCA-MSR also located in Moorestown. Sue and Mike Roth, sons John and Joseph, live in Woodbridge, Virginia.

Mike is the fearless leader in the installations and logistics department at Headquarters in Washington. Kathy and Chuck Scherck normally reside in Normal, lUinois, with their son Eric. Chuck normally works for the State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company in Bloomington, Illinois, therefore, if we all drive normally we may not have to buy the farm.

Laurie and Sid Skjei are Chantilly, Virginia, residents. Dawn, Karen, and Tommy communicate at home while dad communicates with his COMSAT coworkers in Washington. Although headquartered in DC, Sid said his company is opening up satellite offices all the time. Sharon and Poopie Schear have landed in Los Altos, California, and share their hangar with Ryan and baby Matthew.

Poopie flies with PSA out of San Diego, and Sharon can't believe he's stiU caUed Poopie! Sandy and Dave Tate are liying in North Canton, Ohio. Future footballers David, Matthew, Russ, and Steven fill up the rest of the house. Dave is with the East Manufacturing Corporation in Randolph, Ohio. Constance and Bob Treis are settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Bob is in the recruiting business there, bringing in the quaUty people our Navy needs. He has recruited sons Robert and Bart to fill out the billets on the

homefront. Time is running short for submission so I'll save the rest of the alphabet for later. Incidentally, a computer run has upped the ante on Navy folks stiU on some kind of active duty to 287 vice the 250 plus I last reported. More anon.

Have a joyous and peaceful holiday season one and all. If you can't send me a nice present, at least forward a card with your own latest and greatest!

Sayonara until next time.

68 Sec'y/Treas., LCdr. Al Thacker USN Deputy for Management U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis MD 21402 Percent Members: 55 Well, here we are in the home stretch already.

Was it my imagination or did this year really only last six months? No matter, there was joy everyday if you were willing to look for it. And pay no attention to what you see in the mirror; inside us all the child never changes. So take that Christmas spirit and give it to someone, it's the best gift of aU. In the area of who, what, and where it has been another slow month. I forgot to mention last month that I saw Lee Wright jogging at NAS JAX in August. I don't think he recognized my "heUo" as he puffed by just trying to breathe. I received three calls with tidbits of info. The first was from Kari Krumbholz, who wUl be settled in the DC area by the time this hits print. He, Hayden and the boys are moving from the West Coast so he can better continue his efforts to become CNO. Dr. Steve Fox called to confirm his Marine Corps Marathon plans and to let me know he had won a week's vacation in Hawaii for a magazine article he had written. I didn't see that issue of Ladies Home Journal, but I'm sure the article was really something. Rob Taylor also gave me a buzz.

He is currently living in Voorhees, New Jersey, and working for American Hospital Supply Company.

He said Kit Ruland is in the vicinity of West Chester, Pennsylvania, working for some specialty metals company, and BUI Dow is in northern New Jersey with a major needle manufacturer.

I guess that's about it for this issue. May peace, joy, and love be yours this Christmas and remember! Thanksgiving and Christmas meals are not gluttony, just extreme cases of the munchies!

From Virginia, Betty Cleghorn checked in for husband Larry Cleghorn who is flying A-6s with VA-176 on the Indy. The anticipate another three years in Virginia Beach before moving on. Also residing in Virginia Beach while flying for the Navy are BiU Pardee flying F-14s with VF-102 off AMERICA; Tom Mackenzie with VF-143 in Shipmate, December 1982

EISENHOWER; Michael Simmons with VA-35 in NnnTz; and Jim Kenney with the all new HELTACWING ONE. Also residing in Virginia Beach but not necessarily flying are Al Para, Peter D. Patrick and BUI Helfen. Bill is XO in GEORGE C. MARSHALL (SSBN-654), now laid up in Newport

News for overhaul. Bill and Ellen, a sucessful Virginia Beach realtor in her own right, are trying to locate PhH Fargotstein. Any help would be appreciated and should be sent to 241 S. Parliament Drive, VAB 23462. Electra and Fred Neel set up house in Norfolk proper from which Fred commutes to NAS NorVa and his assignment with HSL-32. Carter "Buzz" Savage does the same commuter bit from his abode in Hampton to his job as nuclear programs officer for COMNAVAIRLANT Staff. The last Grapes return from Virginia was from John Crisp who has set up practice in the Charlottes-ville area as an endodontics (root canal) specialist.

The returns from the CaroUnas were disappointing; but those responding did so in true class spirit.

Carol and Jim Suhr are in Charleston, South CaroUna, where he is assigned as XO on,'well reaUy in. STURGEON (SSN-637). Jim passed on that

Mary and Tim Shannon recently departed Charleston for PG School at Monterey. He also is looking for other Second Company stalwarts who may pass through the Charleston area.

Charies Young is another LCDR serving " i n " a command. He is XO in SAND LANCE (SSN-660)

which operates out of Charleston. Mark Rodgers serves on his command. He recently finished as XO of USS SEMMES (DDG-18) and now has command of FEARLESS (MSO-422). He and Damon are

maintaining an open door for Classmates in the Charleston area and can be reached at 871-3699.

Georgia checked in through FrankUn Gary King in RosweU; Dennis Losh in Norcross; and Kent HanUin in Marietta. It's hard to believe that no one is in King's Bay. Anyway, Kent wrote that he has put his Navy experience to good use with the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations. He didn't say whether Helen and the three boys can see him glow in the dark yet. Then Dennis wrote that he StiU is enjoying his Navy experience. During the week he is a mild-mannered program manager for the Atlanta Loral Electroiucs Systems firm, while on the week ends he is a lieutenant commander USNR-R with VP-60.

From Orange Park, Florida, Scott Semko wrote that he is attached to VP-49 out of JacksonviUe and that he has seen Mike Charley with HS-5, Mike Malone with VA-12, and Scott Thompson with VP-30. Also in Jacksonville is Joe Goodman who commutes to Mayport and his work as XO in STEPHEN W . GROVES (FFG-29).

From

Melbourne Monty Felix wrote that he is now the product marketing manager of the Hants Corporation, word processing division. He cordiaUy invites any Classmates passing through to stop in at their 1960 Tall Oaks Road address. Also with an open door pohcy for Classmates are Halie and Dan Rugg, only you have to be in Clearwater to use the hospitality. Dan noted that he regularly sees Tom O'Brien and Greg Murphy; from which I can only conclude that they are also in the Clearwater area or has very good vision.

Somehow I again ran out of column space and I really wanted to say that Chuck Stout talked Carol Ediing into marriage. Can this be the same Carol Ediing who wouldn't date Chuck when he was a gung-ho mid? If any Fourteenth Company Classmates need money. Chuck is in Kirkwood, Missouri, where he is the lending officer at the St. Louis Centerre bank. Good luck. Chuck.

John Hertel and I wish you a Merry Christmas and hope that your coming yeju wiU be a rewardShipmate, December 1982

In addition, we extend a special prayer to the families and friends of those Classmates who are not here to partake of this special time of year: Richard Creighton, Leo Rolek, Henry Pilger, David King, Paul Duncan, Patrick O'Neil, Gabriel Hernandez, Melvin Brown, Lowell Vanwagenen, Claude Conner, Charles Potter, Charles Jackson, Jeffrey Stanley, Paul Mellott, Timothy Cocozza, Jack Fisher, and Stuart Powrie.

71 Sec'y, Charles E. Boyer III 606 Dunberry Dr., Arnold MD 21012 Percent Members: 55 Where to begin this month? The letters and calls were numerous, and 1 appreciate everyone's support.

Jack Alexander has made New York his home since leaving the nuclear Navy in 1977. Before heading to work with a utility company and the civilian world. Jack met and married Donna. (I hope it is Donna, Mrs. Alexander. It was hard to read the handwriting.) Jack has since added three children to the household and has managed to acquire two master's degrees by attending night school.

Ralph Architzel is with NRC as the senior resident inspector at the Calvert Cliffs Station here in Maryland.

It is rumored that Mel Demars is with the 32nd MAU off the coast of Lebanon. Originally stationed in New River, Mel is part of the organization that put Marines in Beirut.

Larry Simoneaux called me back to couple of months to request that I get him some maneuvering boards. He is out of the Navy now and has been with NOAA for sometime and is studying for his second mate's Ucense. My memory may be failing, but I believe he has just completed or is getting ready to start a two-year surveying cruise. I gather that his wife Linda and year-old son Steven get to go too! It sure sounded exciting when I talked to Larry.

Another caller was BUI Donge. He is a district manager with Air Products up in Detroit. Bill also told me that Dan Stuart is the district manager in Kansas City. Must be a good company as it also has Mike McNallen and Pete Schneider on the pay roll. Pete hs mentioned several other names, but for the moment they are lost from the old personal recall mode.

Alan Ptak has settled his wife Tessa and two kiddies in Great Falls, Virginia. Alan left the Navy in 1980 and is now with the CIA as the senior Uasion officer on the intelligence community staff.

Mike Hallahan, Lee Tredway, Joe Sheppard, and Ron Hewett have all been visitors at the Ptaks' home.

A hearty well done to Mary Ann Hoffman and Filomena Sitler for authoring a superlative book dealing with raising a family in the Navy. Mary Ann is the wife of Tom Hoffman and Filomena of Steve Sitler. Their book was published last October and is an excellent work. They have written a book that is quite reaUstic in its approach to this complicated subject.

Kevin Green sent us a really nice letter from USS PREBLE. Also on board are BUI Organek and Dick Enderley. Kevin is ops officer and Dick handles the engineering. Bill is along for the ride as a member of the COMDESRON THIRTY-TWO staff, responsible for operations and planning.

After departing Norfolk in June, they participated in UNITAS XXIII in South America, then returned in September and were ready to pick up

Homecoming where we left off last September.

A short note just arrived from Gay and John BaU. Still in Pax River (or on the banks thereof), John is a test pilot. He will soon be departing for a desk job in Connecticut as an on-the-spot representative.

Bob Cahawa and Frank Culbertson also work down at Patuxent. Box is flying A-4s and A-6s while Frank is driving an F-4. John Long is with VX-1 as the safety officer, Jim Loiselle is a helicopter flight instructor at the Test Pilot School, and Ralph Architzez is a civilian near John and is an inspector for NRC at the Calvert Cliff nuke plant.

John has also met up with Brian Horais, who was flying with the reserves. Brian lives in Norwalk, Connecticut, and works for Norden as a missile engineer. BUI Shepperd is still with the SEALS, but is putting in time behind a desk right now. Bob Stuhlman is in Norfolk with the minesweeping helicopter community, and Randy Wagner is in Charleston with a submarine staff.

A letter from Gail and Ed Bouton arrived this morning also. Ed is at present in LONG BEACH, undergoing overhaul in Bremerton. With the onset of Winter, Ed is anxious to get the work done so they can head back to balmy San Diego.

Please note the change in address at the top of the column. Jan and 1 have assumed our place in the civiUan community here in Annapolis. It was hard to give up free football tickets, but there are some advantages in civilian life.

Well, that is it for another month.

Trust that everyone had a great Thanksgiving and Army party. Best wishes for a Happy Holiday Season, and our best to all of you.

72 Sec'y, LCdr. George Z. Berry USN 3093 WeUington Court Annapolis MD 21401 301/956-4680 Percent Members: 54 From all the feedback I've been gettng, that was the best TENTH reunion our Class has ever had!

Everything, including weather, tailgate, game, dinner, etc., went without any problems. I'd like to give another "well done" to the Homecoming Committee. Their efforts resulted in a wellorganized, smoothly run, enjoyable week end. Al Joseph was overall in charge and responsible for computer lists, correspondence, finances, and much more. Gary HaU had the dinner/dance and other hotel events that included decorations, door prizes, and much behind-the-scenes work. Bob Leib coordinated the outstanding tailgate and Alumni House registration. Tim Holden set up the bus transportation to and from the hotel. And, I was to blame for the tote bags, buttons and other souvenirs (thumbs up!). Also, a thank you to the other people who assisted here and there and to all of you who showed up to help create a crazy time!

Since I went to the trouble of taking all these pictures, I might as weU use them to fill my column this month. Next issue will feature pictures of the dinner/dance.

It was good to see that at least the wives of '72 are getting younger looking and more beautiful each year. You guys have maintained fairly well too. Also, I have a few '72 canvas tote bags left over. The first five people who send in a long, newsy letter about their friends wiU get one of them (I'U even throw in a couple of '72 buttons). If you don't have any friends, write me anyway!

It's time to dive once again into the myriad of information compUed monthly for your reading pleasure. This month the dive shall be rather shallow because we don't have that much info, but come to think of it, I don't have that much time before this is due, so it works out nicely.

The first word for December comes from Barb and Tom Glover whom I saw at the VA-Navy game (our seats are together). Tom tells me that he saw Mike Holton down at Oceana doing something with simiUator testing. Mike was working out of test pUot school at Pax River at the time.

Karen and Jim Riemer, who were mentioned next, are now at Cherry Point, where he flies A-6s for the Marines. They are reportedly having a house buUt on Karatuck Sound (wherever that is) and are going to be deploying sometime in the distant future. Thanks, Tom.

"Rocky" Fitzpatrick Brian "Rocky" Fitzpatrick dropped me a quick note after Tailhook '82 out in Las Vegas. He's at VX-4 as an operational test pilot flying the F-18.

Shipmate, December 1982

"It's really the neatest thing since sUced bread!" was his evaluation of the bird. Another line worth quoting relates to the fact that he and Kathleen were expecting their first in October: "Sure hope it's a boy so he can go fighters like me." (Don't worry, Brian: by 2004 it probably won't matter.)

He's looking for Mike Turner, so if you're out there Mike, write. Brian sent a picture of himself decked out in his flight suit complete with G-suit (or else he's got all of the tubing for a colostomy — how would a rotorhead know?) Thanks, Brian.

The next letter was somewhat cryptic, leaving more questions it answered. Rick Parkington discovered one of my ploys to generate letters — I don't check the spelling of names. (1 misspelled his.) He reports that he and Stephanie with daughters, Jennifer, Michelle and Francine are doing well, but don't see too many Classmates.

Commenting on the lack of inputs 1 alluded to in the July-August issue he sent his recommendation for our 10-year reunion. Here are a few of the highlights: "Friday

— (after the party.) 'Retire to HoJo's for the night with cost effective reservations (ratio of 40 persons per room with drinks on ice in the tub used to work out well).

Saturday — Morning and noon meals 'left to the obvious imagination of the most casual observer.'

— Evening meal of Chesapeake Bay crabs and beer (on newspaper-on the floor-Tropical White Long option this time).

— Evening accomodation-river lot cottage . . . ratio of 150 persons per cottage seems reminiscently appropriate.

Sunday — Aftemoon fareweUs at own discretion (avoiding PDA with MOOW and CMOOW stalking the yard)."

Although he reports that this schedule has worked in the past, he leaves final decisions on times, menus, etc., open to discussion, "Conforming to our presumed level of sophistication — at least don't put all the motel rooms in my name this time."

Thanks for the input. Rick, but I've got one or two questions: (1) are you in or out of the Navy; and (2) since there is no return address — where are you?! It seems that Jack Hassinger had the same question.

This is where I expected to quit, but BUI Lee got an informative letter in under the wire. If you remember, he is an instructor up at SWOS. He had the foUowing: "I took three weeks of leave from my instructor duty at SWOS, and drove across the country to Las Vegas, for the Tailhook convention. Although I'm a surface officer, I'm an associate member and figured it would be fun, and suspected I might see some Classmates; and 1 did.

"Rick Johnson estimated that there were 35 members of '74 in attendance. You may hear from one or more others by now, but among those that I saw were Bob Stumpf and Buck Jones from VFA-125, flying F-18s at Lemoore, Dennis DriscoU and Rob Foltyn, both captains USMC, at Top Gun, Brent James, also at Top Gun, and Larry Standridge, a test pilot at Pax River. In addition, I saw Mike Holton, Tony Marino and Mark Checcio. Mark was a RIO at Top Gun, but is now at Meridian, trying to be one of the first NFOs to convert to pilot. Bob WUlard, Class of '73 and older brother of our Classmate Rick, won an AIRPAC award, and reported that Rick is out, married with two kids and living in Reno, working on the Lear Fan project.

"On my way across country, I spent one night staying with MaryRay and Rick Casper, who live near Corning, New York. Rick is a production supervisor at the Corning Glass Works. In between chopping firewood. Rick continues to tinker with his collection of vintage Corvettes and a prewar pickup truck, or go racing in his infamous 'little purple boat.'

"Wanda and Steve Brown have moved farther south on the DelMarVa Peninsula, and now live in Virginia, about 50 miles or so south of where they were before. Steve is the senior man for electric distribution for the southern part of the DelMarVa Peninsula.

"Of the 38 who started the struggle in June 1970, in 25th Company, 30 were commissioned (25 USN, 5 USMC) with '74. Two others (both exroommates) eventually were commissioned. Ric Ortloff came back with 1976, and his roommate from his second plebe year reports that is aUve and weU,flyingCH-46s in San Diego. Jim LittreU, who left after youngster year is now assistant ops in GUAM (LPH-9); he was commissioned via AOCS. "Greg Stachelczyk is a maintenance officer with VF-84 in Oceana. Through him, and Ben McMUIan, who just started SWOS, I hear third hand, that Don Patterson is in NIMITZ. "Lots of '74 has passed through SWOS — Jay Wells is in Dept Head Class 74, the senior class here now that Morgan Ames, Joe Sestak, Bill Boulay and the rest of the Class of '73 have left Newport. In Dept Head 76, there are several '74 students, Karen and Ben McMillan (she is expecting in November) having returned from exchange duty with the Royal Navy Hovercraft squadron; Doug Crowder, and Jim Fry and Steve Johnson, the latter two surface nukes (as is Ben). Rod Sams is taking the Command Qual, emoute the CHENG job in MERRIMAC (AO-179). Dave "Bear" Marra is CHENG in COONTZ ( D D G - 4 0 ) and Ralph Schindler is CHENG in DEWEY ( D D G - 4 5 ) . Ben

Thanks, Bill; you've kept us from setting a new low for news.

Before 1 close, I'd like to say a few kind words about Jerry Rudd and Fred Hahndorf who took over the tailgate party when 1 became enslaved to a JAG investigation and night school.

FPO, New York NY 09501 Percent Members: 98 It is my sad duty to annouce the death of Randy Smith. He was a great guy and a member of the Third Company of USNA. He was killed in a water skiing accident in Pensacola on the 19th of September. The Class shows it deepest sympathy to Randy's family and loved ones. The family has requested that donations made in his memory be sent to the Ens. Randall Smith Memorial Fund, USNA Alumni Association, 247 King George St., Annapolis MD 21402.

I would like to thank you all for the great response that I have been receiving in the past couple of weeks. First, I want to mention the rest of the Newport SWOS crowd.

Tom VanPelten and John Blackburn live out in Tiverton. Mike Bannister acquire a new nick name — Chili Dog — in honor of his favorite lunch. Mike Jacobsen is 116

still hangin' out. WiU Butts lives down on the waterfront with two guys from Duke. He won some money when Navy stuck it to the Blue DevUs, last October Mark Bakotic had fun winning and losing at Jai-Alai or is it Hi-Li? Terry Benedict still gets the urge to grab an oar every day a 1500.

The new class reported up here in early September. Among them, Scotty WUson and his new wife.

Earl Goodson with his wife Rocky, and a bunch of others are making temporary homes in Newport. Al Grecco, Lance Brasher, Steve Surko who was supposed to go to Coronado but his orders got changed at the last minute. Lance Brasher, and "Doc" Hayes all joined SWOS in September.

They should be done in January. 1 almost forgot Bob French, who is spending much of his time playing racquetball.

1 received my first letter from Quantico. Brian Riso was the author and he told of some wUd times and outrageous hours. Robin and Jeff OhI Uve offbase in Spanish Gardens. Billy and Terry Anderson are also enjoying the martied Ufe but the crazy hours are keeping the newlyweds on the move. M Hackett, Davy Jones, Mike Querela, Steve Murillo, and PhU Salinas all shot "Expert" with the .45 and M-6. BUI Beach won the combined rifle-pistol score for " F " Company. Mike " Q " is a commuter Marine, back and forth to Long Island every weekend to see his fiancee. Dave does his commuting to Ocean City for just about the same reason. The pilot guarantees are Pete Strait, Rich Perkins, Larry Mokan, Stacy Van Houton, Wild Bill Kearley, Jim Lingar, Bob Claypool, Mike Querela, Brian Riso, Steve Murillo, Terry Parker, Jeff Ohl, and Roger Paterson. Ernie Mattacota and Rod Sansone are looking forward to infantry. Tyrone Hughes is looking forward to supply. Jeff Mossbrucker is getting into motor transport. 1 found out that Mark 'Falcon' MUler married Eric Larson's little sister. Mark should be a die-hard infantry man come December 22 when most of the '82ers graduate from Quantico.

There were many people down to Crabtown for the Navy-Boston College football disaster. Larry Webster, Tommy Garrison, John Weidman, Hank Schneider, and a collection of others. Tem-duers such as Hans Larsen, BiU Cheney, Dave Clopp, and Al Dobler were in attendance. Everything went well except the game.

1 received a letter from George Chamberlain who said that he and Marie were married in the Chapel on 27 May. Goerge is on TAD until January at the Naval Research Lab in DC. Others there are Doug Lowe, Blake Bush, Matt Klunder, Frank Gorman, and Doug Nordman. Rose McGrath was there but has since moved on. All there are Nukes except Matt and George who are airdales. George's wife's sister, Suzanne (how's that?), is also married to an '82er, Tim Holland.

They were married on July 17. Tim is at AMDO School in Memphis. Other people in Memphis are Steve Weaver, Sue Hittle, BUI Laingen who is now married to Elaine. Kevin Baugh and Evan Thompson are doing well in UDT/SEAL training at Coronado. They made it through the physical abuse and have just completed the "How to sneak up on people and kill them quietly" phase. Better them than me!

Some people out at SWOS Coronado are Joel Ratter, Steve "MIS Liaison triple star" Goertzen, PhU "Fad" Davidson, and Ernie Petzrich. John Hornick is now in Orlando in Nukeville. Brian Hood and Kevin Proctor were in Switzerland puUing for Navy and did very well. They took fourth place with the fastest Navy time ever. Brian is now in flight school. Holly Johnson married Lt. Og) Chuck Beltz, Class of '80 in the Chapel on 24 July.

Eric Ekovich is in supply school in Georgia.

Jeff Cramer says 'hello' to everyone from the Air Force. He's there with Gordie Thompson, Jack Davidson, Doug Tracy, and Doug Roberts. They are flying T-37s which convert JP-4 into massive amounts of noise. Rick Vandegriff is at Columbus AFB in Texas as is Chuck Kirby. Tov Brog is an ops analyst ahd Terry Sparks is learning to be a navigator. Back on the Navy side of life, J.J. Doherty married Debbie on 15 September.

Rick Stein says 'hello' and he is awaiting nuke school in January. Rick had some news from the 18th Co. Mike Maze and Janet Bethart were married in the Chapel on 4 June. Doug Lenker married Donna Brooks on 5 June. Doug is teaching (of all things) at Orlando before he starts nuke school. John Russel was also married on the 5th to Rose in the Chapel. Doc WUliams and Laurie were married on 28 May and they are now in Pcola. Mark Rios married Cindy on 29 May and both are now up here at SWOS. Greg Fisher and Jim Fowles were recruiting in Columbia, South Carolina. Ray Luscinski is at South Weymouth, Massachusetts, before he goes to Pensacola. Pete VaUnske is recruiting in San Jose and is ready to go to Orlando. By the way. Rick is at 731 London Drive, Charleston SC 29412, and wiU be there until the middle of January.

Joel MUler wrote to say he is enjoying the married life with his life Kim. They were in New London and are now at nuke school. Opie White wrote from Norfolk to say that Greg "Schlep Rock" Eisman married the former Susan Marie Hauser on 14 August. From 19th Co., Pete Sauve got married on 8 June. Matt Maury and Bob Chew are also married — ?? no, not to each other! Craig Benson got married in Pittsburgh. Rich Alexander is doing weU at SWOS in Coronado smd in anxious to get to his ship.

Talk about the life — I got a letter from Bobby Rountree. He was in Jacksonville on TAD for flight school. In his time there he flew to Hawaii for a week and to his home in South Jersey a couple of week ends, not to mention the fact that he went back to Annapolis to see a couple of football games. He should not get paid for doing that!

Anyway, I hope ol' Tree is sweating it out in Pcola. Other people in P-cola are Don Clements, Mark Stuart, and Warren Somoluk. Perry Bingham is out in California waiting to catch a ship. He's a laid back as ever and fits in with the California crowd.

Some more weddings — Henry Wykoff married Renee Schingeck on August 28. Wayne Walker married Patty Haste in August. Dan Stultz married Kimberly Campbell and Jim Byrd married Carole Fawcett also in August.

Well, that's about it for this month. On behalf of the '82 Staff 1 would like to wish everyone a happly holiday season. Please make it a safe one.

I will still be here in Newport until 21 January 1983. After that, my address wiU be the USS JESSE L. BROWN (FF-1089), FPO NY 09501. My home port will be in Charleston, so if you're in the area, stop by and let me know what's going on. I also would like to thank aU of you who wrote me. Keep up the good work. If you have any pictures that you would Uke printed in the magazine, send them to me and I'll see if I can get them in. As Salty Sam might say . . . ciao . . .

And here's one of the best offers of the year.

Bob Claypool is being married on 24 December 1982 at 1400 in St. Martin's in the Fields Church, 7136 Winnetka, Canoga Park CA 91306, and who's invited? Everybody. If in the area for Christmas, make it over there.

Shipmate, December 1982

Chapter News DEADLINE: For March — 4 January; for April — 4 February

ANNAPOLIS Cdr. Dave Church USN U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis MD 21402 Capt. Lou Reasonover USN '54 opened the meeting of 13 October 1982 by inviting the over 150 attendees to be present at the 10 November meeting when Capt. Jack E. Buffington CEC USN will deliver the "Annual Status Report on the USNA Five-year Plzm for New Construction and Plant RehabiUtation." Items to be discussed include repau of the Dorsey Creek bridge, the Naval Hospital, the new auditorium, Mahan HaU renovation, and a new indoor tennis faciUty. All AnnapoUs-area Alumni and visiting friends were invited to this interesting discussion. Pres.

Reasonover also stated that LCdr. and Mrs. Fred Malegrave USN '71 would host the annuail Christmas party, and that the Chapter now has 243 members and would Uke to double that number. FinaUy, Capt. Reasonover stated that the conduct of the Brigade at the Air Force game had been exceUent, the oiUy infraction being a midshipman who reported back late for formation because his Air Force cadet escort was stopped by a state trooper.

Rep. Marjorie Holt, Republican from the Fourth Congressional District of Maryland, was the principal speaker. Among the more important posts that she holds in her position, to which she has been elected five times, is the Committee on Armed Services as well as the Committee on the District of Columbia and the National Republican Congressional Committee. As such she is particularly interested in military personnel and compensation, as weU as procurement and military nuclear systems, and she is a member of the Board of Visitors at the Naval Academy.

Mrs. Hoh stated that she felt that progress is being made in Washington, but that turn around in any area cannot be made ovemight. Effort was being made to help the little man, but taxes, inflation and unemployment are still problems that have to be solved. However, Mrs. Holt said. Congress is listening and is trying to help.

She indicated that there was a strong demand for cuts in defense spending, but an effort was being made to catch up on what had been only a slow growth in the last ten years. Half of the money expended in defense funds is given to miUtary personnel, an anomaly which does not exist in other departmental budgets. The large expenditure is required because of the necessity to have the freedom to survive. As with all rightthinking people, she was in favor of a nuclear freeze — in a recent poll, 66% of the population of Maryland were so minded — but she felt that the country must not sUp into a position of inferiority. In the meantime mischief is being precipitated aU over the world — Laos, Cambodia, Grenada, Guinea, Libya, Ethiopia, Afghanistan — and if this is to be restrained, it cannot be from weakness. Reduction to parity is much desired, but strength, resolution and wUl are required in today's world.

As regards the Naval Hospital at Annapolis, Mrs. Holt indicated that she had high hopes for funding in the near future for its re-establishment.

Shipmate, December 1982

Transport of the midshipmen to Bethesda and efforts to have treatment in the local hospital have not been completely successful. With the retirement community of Annapolis being considered and the students at the Military and Air Force Academies receiving excellent medical care, local attention is rated at this time.

BOSTON Horace P. Rounds 65 York Avenue Randolph MA 02368 The October meeting of the Boston Chapter was held on October 13, 1982 at the Officers' Mess, U.S. Coast Guard Station, Boston. Twenty alumni ranging from the Class of '31 to '73, plus one guest attended.

Mr. Mtutin Goldman, a columnist for the Boston Herald-American, was the guest speaker.

His subject was the Mid-Eastern situation in general, but more specifically the recent invasion of Lebanon by Israel. An active member of the Anti-Defamation League, Mr. Goldman, gave us his interpretation of the feelings of both the American and Israel Jewish community. He stressed his opinion that the U.S. media had grossly misrepresented the whole affair. He further stated, that Israel, with no territorial ambitions other than to secure its borders, was and would continue to be the United States strongest and most reliable friend in the area.

The November meeting was to be in the evening with wives and sweethearts, on the ninth of the month.

CHICAGO Capt. M. Berngard USNR (Ret.) 2908 W.

It was noted that John Simpson '37 had been very helpful in promulgating information (by form letter) to the group on the procedures for attending the November 13 football game.

A decision was made to name this new HUton Head Island/Beaufort Chapter the "CaroUna Low Country Chapter."

The next meeting wiU be held at noon on Friday, 10 December, at the Sea Pines Conference Center, HUton Head Island.

HONOLULU Cdr. E.C. Trimpert SC USN 181 McGrew Loop, Aiea HI %701 The Honolulu Chapter kicked off its 1982-1983 year of events with a Navy FootbaU Preview luncheon on September 9th at Lockwood Hall, Submarine Base, Pearl Harbor. A gathering of 43 alumni, wives and guests were alert and attentive as our President, VAdm. WiUiam P. Lawrence '51, conducted the meeting which began with the introduction of the new slate of officers and directors as foUows: Vice President: Capt. Harvey Gray USN (Ret.) '52 Secretary/Treasurer: Cdr. E.C. Trimpert SC USN '65 Directors: Adm. B.A. Clarey USN (Ret.) '34 RAdm. W.T. Kinsella USN (Ret.) '51 RAdm. S.J. Anderson USN '51 Capt. C.H. Saari USN '60 Cdr. W. Martin USN '62 Lt. (jg) T. Huxel CC USN '81 In keeping with the spirit of the day, he noted that Terry Huxel was defensive captain of Navy's 1980 footbaU team.

Bill Lawrence then outlined the goals of the Honolulu Chapter which are: (1) to expand chapter membership and activity participation, particularly among the junior officers; (2) to work actively in support of Naval Academy recruiting; (3) to maintain close Uaison with parents of midshipmen; (4) to support Naval Academy Alumni Association National programs; and (5) to maintain an active 118

social program which is both entertaining and supportive of the mission of the Academy and the Navy. He noted that we were weU on the way toward achieving the first goal with the exceUent attendence of junior officers, highlighted by the presence of six members of the Class of '82.

This being the week when footbaU experts and armchair quarterbacks come out of hibernation, we didn't consider it unusual that the principal topic of our luncheon business was Navy footbaU. What was uiuque was the fact that we received a comprehensive preview report on Navy's 1982 football season by the most recent Superintendent of the Academy and one who was intimately involved with the footbaU program. Navy's strengths and weaknesses were assessed objectively as were the appraisals of each opponent with the result being that we aU felt very optimistic about the Navy team during the forthcoming season.

Shipmate, December 1982

NEW YORK Bradford D. Smith Natural History Magazine Museum of Natural History Central Park West at 79th St. New York, NY 10024 The Naval Academy Association of New York's 1932 — 1983 season was kicked off on September 21, when some 45 members gathered at the WiUiams Club, 24 East 39th Street at high noon for a Uvely discussion with fellow Alumnus, Andrew S. Prince '65, now deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Sealift and Maritime Affairs.

Andy's talk was very much on point. Consider, as he said, the British in their Falkland Island campaign rehed on their merchant fleet to the extent that 25 percent of the force committed to engagement was composed of merchant ships. AdditionaUy, there was a resupply effort projecting some 8,000 mUes from Britain to Ascension Island with anotiier 3,000 mile leg to the Falklands. The question raised was, could we do it? The answer was in doubt. The U.S. Merchant Marine of today is composed of far fewer ships than in the 1960s when our seaUft requirement was for some 420 ships per week, plus the fact that many of these new ships from a miUtary viewpoint are the wrong types and sizes. MiUtary needs are best answered by relatively smaU, self-sustaining ships which can handle aU sizes of cargo whether containerizable or not.

The U.S. dry cargo fleet is primarily container ships. Solution? Construct "mobUe container ports" as weU as some number of self-sustaiiung break-bulk ships for a pure miUtary reserve capabiUty. A paraUel problem exists in Uquid carriers; the miUtary need is best answered by relatively small, coated tank carriers that can be used in trtmsporting multiple products and get into almost any port. The commercial demand is for the supertanker — the larger the better — with extreme drafts and needing sophisticated support.

Again reUance on our merchant fleet leaves us far short of our needs and requires constmction and maintenance of a reserve.

NORTH TEXAS Dick Goodspeed 2237 Hurstview Drive Hurst TX 76053 The Chapter held its first monthly meeting of the activity year at the usual place — BeUo Mansion, comer of Ross and Pearl, Dallas — and regular time — high noon on the first Tuesday of the month (in this case, September 7). Attending were BUI ConneU '67; Jack Counihan, '32; Steve De La Mater, '44; Ray Eckenrode, '76; Dick Goodspeed, '50; Dick Grant, '52, Bill Gute, *54; John HamUton, '68; Tex Hogan, '44; Joe Manci, '50, Chapter President; Lionel Nowotny, '61; and HankOchel, '61.

Lionel Nowotny was the featured speaker, and presented the results of some important volunteer work he'd been doing for the Dallas Independent School District. Like many other districts around the country, DISD has seen its enroUment declining over the past ten or fifteen years. As a result, the district found it had about five more schools than it needed. The question then was what to do with the surplus schools. That is a far more complex question than it would appear to be at first glance, and one that the commuiuty must help to answer. Through the Chamber of Commerce, DISD arranged to have Nowotny organize the neighborhoods around the surplus schools so that they could help make the difficult decisions on then- disposition.

Shipmate, December 1982

He passed on some of the lessons he had learned in the process, and they can pretty well be summed up in one maxim: Keep an ear to the keyhole of the school board meeting room, and be prepared to step in if they decide to start closing schools.

Before breaking up, the assembled Alumni discussed coming events briefly. By the time this appears in print, the only event still "coming' will be School Superintendents' Night. Superintendents of school districts, high school principals, and counselors will be dinner guests of the chapter at Las CoUnas Country Club on that night, January 25, and wiU get the word about USNA straight from the Superintendent's mouth. VAdm. E.C. Waller USN '49 will be the guest of honor and get to show us all how much he remembers of his afterdinner speech-making training. All Alumni in the area are welcome to attend that affair, which will get underway at 6:30 pm.

The Chapter sent a busload to the NavyArkansas game on September 18. The 38 riders included 15 Alumni and famiUes and four famiUes of present or recent midshipmen. Several others arranged for rooms and tickets, or just tickets, through the Chapter, so the Chapter can take credit for getting about 60 Navy fans being there to watch the Blue and Gold give a good account of itself while losing to a tough Razorback squad.

On the way home on Sunday, the whole busload stopped at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Josh Morriss, Jr. '47, in Texarkana, and had lunch. The very pleasant and relaxing trip ended in Dallas at about 4 pm. Hats off to Pete Carrothers '63, for making the arrangements.

OKLAHOMA CITY David B. Benham P.O. Box 20400 Oklahoma City OK 73156 The Oklahoma City Chapter of the U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association opened its year with a get-together at the home of Betty and Dave Benham. It was an enjoyable evening providing an opportunity to renew old acquaintances and make new friends. Those present were: John Kirkpatrick '31 and Eleanor; Charles Coley '34 and Dorothy; Roy Smallwood '40 and Thelma; Dave Benham '41 and Betty and daughter Nancy; Ken Duke '44 and Liz; Dick VaiU '46 and Addie; Warren Parr '49; Roger Freeman '50 and Lou; Bill Lawton '51; Tom Stafford '52; Charles Coker '56 and Bonnie Jean; Walt Stammer '56 and Alice; John Plyler '57 and Caroline; Stu Merriken '58 and Anne; Jim Van Hoose '58 and Marilyn; Jim Avant '61; Bob Lewis '64 and Marlene; Larry Herring '65; Jim Koons '66 and Jane; and Bill Weiss and Carol.

The excellent attendance at this affair indicates the interest among Academy Alumni in the Oklahoma City area and plans are being made to continue to promote an active, viable chapter.

ORLANDO John Long P.O. Box 1511 Winter Park FL 32790 The second Friday in September was the first meeting for the '82-83 season.

Tom's address is 646 Friar Road, Winter Park FL 32789; tel. 305/678-4636.

Dick Laning '40 entertained the group with an amusing story from the early Laning years. The story was about how Ensign Laning and an enterprising coxswain in Laning's division combined private financing (Laning) and technical knowhow (coxswain) to modify an officers' motor boat into the sharpest and fastest around. Needless to say, the engineering success of this modification did not go unnoticed and Ensign Laning's career teetered on the brink of success and failure. The outcome was favorable and the boat ended up as the barge for the embarked Flag.

Attendance included: Bunny and Bob Adams '51; Catty Adkins '30; Lou Branch '49; Bill Danner '51; Davy Davenport '36; BUI Davis '33; WaUy Ebert '30; Jack Howell '40; Dick Jack '35; Eve and John Majesky '49; Merle Johnston, Betty Lambrecht, Dick Laning '40; Eileen and John Long '55; Paul Martin '23; Charles Nicholson '19; Betty and Swede Norgaard '28; Betty Piper, Eunice Petrie, Margaret and George Robillard '24; Joie Ray '29; Jim Reedy '33; BUI RosseU '35; Paul Schratz '39; BUI Sims '35; Harry Smith '30; Walter Taylor '18; Louise Trainer; Audrey and Tom Utegaard '45; Fred Warder '25; and Ellen and Weary Wilkins '24.

PENSACOLA Capt. Richard V. Christopher USN (Ret.) 5225 Durango PI., Pensacola FL 32504 The Pensacola Chapter held its first meeting of the "new" year on September 24, at the Mustin Officers' Club. After lunch the Pensacola area Blue and Gold officer, our own Sec/Treas Capt.

Chris Christopher USN (Ret.), showed the new USNA orientation movie which was enjoyed by aU. Chris introduced the movie with a profile of the Class of '85 which clearly indicates that these new midshipmen are well-rounded, high achievers who survived a rigorous selection process.

RICHMOND Cdr. Paul E. Galanti USN (Ret.) 21 Maxwell Rd., Richmond, VA 23226 The Richmond Chapter hosted the Naval Academy Drum and Bugle Corps on its visit to Richmond on October 1, 1982. Following a spectacular halftime performance at the TuckerBenedictine High School football game, the midshipmen adjourned to the Regency Inn where about 20 young ladies from the University of Richmond "Spiderettes" and several members of this Chapter awaited. The midshipmen didn't particularly appreciate the old gratis but they won a spectacular victory over the University of Richmond's finest!

Mrs. Betty Hughes, widow of Admiral Roscoe Hughes '27, hosted a great cocktail party and tour at the Science Museum of Virginia, a project that was near and dear to Admiral Hughes. Nearly 40 Richmond area Alumni were seen "talking" to computers and playing with the various displays at the museum. Admiral Hughes was one of the community leaders who saw this very worthwhile museum go from a dream to fruition.

We would Uke any Richmond area Alumni who are not on our mailing list to contact Paul Galanti at (0) 780-1071 to be counted! We have a fine time at our monthly luncheons and various special events. Our schedule for the rest of this year is: 13 December Christmas Party; 10 January Luncheon; 14 February Dinner Meeting; 14 March Luncheon; 11 April Luncheon; 9 May Candidates' Dinner; Summer Annual Picnic (TBA).

New officers for the Chapter area: Jack Parry '67 — president; Fred Gambke '51 — vice president; Paul Galanti '62 — secretary; and Nelson Blish '69 — treasurer. The only change from last month is that Galanti has been relieved of fiscal responsibility and now handles only the correspondence and mailings. There are those — Galanti included — who think that may be too much!

The Quinns had graciously offered the use of their home for cocktaUs and a tour of their quarters which were formerly occupied by the late FAdm. Nimitz. This was an experience we all appreciated, and a rare opportunity to look in on the Navy of another era. The quarters have been beautifully furnished by Judy and are lovely. John Mickelson '65 and Bob's son John turned in a professional performance as bartenders.

We then adjourned to the Treasure Island Officers' Club where we were greeted somewhat limply by five of its original eight cylinders. After dinner we were treated to a superb performance

by Mr. Jim Embree, professional engineer and professional magician, who kept us all on the edge of our chairs.

It was a delightful evening and one we will aU remember. We have set a high standard for the rest of the year. Our senior member present was again John Falge '12, and the junior member, Dave Martin '71. Class wUh the most members present was '65 which weighed in with five.
