An Ocean Away Jim StavTidis 7 6

The Challenge of Total Quality Leadership In an era of dwindling resources, the Navy is searching for better ways of doing business. By far the most dramatic single approach undertaken by the Navy is instituting Total Quality Leadership (TQL). A derivative of Dr. W. Edwards Deming's influential and popular ideas on management and quality control, TQL seeks to revolutionize the Navy's approach to virtually everything.

Writing in a recent issue of Proceedirtgs, Adm. Frank Kelso, Chief of Naval Operations, laid out the rationale and basic thrust of TQL: "Total Quality Leadership (TQL) is our longterm program to improve the way we do business. It is not a quick fix, but it promises to affect every aspect of naval operations from procurement to maintenance to persoimel practices."

One consultant working on TQL issues summed up four key elements in the program as: Continuous improvement in all aspects of an organization.

Improvement is the responsibility of all members in the organization.

Data, statistical methods, and careful analysis are essential to gain the improvement.

Ultimately, the customer determines the quality of both products and services.

The best way to learn about TQL is to read the original works by Dr. Deming, which became famous for their impact on the Japanese industrial base in the years after the Second World War. In Dr. Deming's words, "The job of management is inseparable from the welfare of the company;" and "Everyone doing his best is not the answer. It is first necessary that people know what to do. Drastic changes are required." As the name implies, the focus of the program is on providing a quality product. The methodology involves " . . . systems thinking, a knowledge of statistics, use of hard data in decision making, and an application of the scientific method to improve processes continuously." To work properly, TQL must occur in a non-threatening environment in which suggestions and improvements are arrived at through team effort, not simply directed down from the top of the leadership pyramid. Leaders must ". . . function as coaches, not judges."

A key concern will be getting the entire Navy on board to the ideas of TQL. The Chief of Naval Operations and the senior leadership of the Navy arefirmlycommitted to TQL, and believe that it must be undertaken Navy-wide to be effective. Thus far, the most successful implementation of TQL has been in the more

industrial-oriented segments of the Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; supply centers, tenders. Naval Aviation Depots (formerly Naval Air Rework Facilities), shorebased maintenance facilities, and the like. The ideas of TQL are just now arriving "on the waterfront," and will require a great deal of time to implement. As the CNO has commented, "In the first years of implementation, TQL will increaseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not decreaseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;our work load." Formal courses and training will be required throughout the Navy to implement TQL as currently envisioned.

The benefits of TQL as described by the CNO are many, including the potential to reduce inspections, drive down accident rates, reduce resources expended in repetitive (and often unproductive) ways of solving our problems. Perhaps the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) summed up best the potential of TQL when he commented in a recent article that it would create exactly the kind of working environment that senior enlisted leadership really desires, i.e. a work place where ideas for improvement are always welcome.

The MCPON goes on to point out that many senior enlisted today spend too much time " . . . fighting fires to think of ways to prevent them." TQL is the means through which everyone on the Navy team canfigureout how to prevent the fires before they start.

In his book. Out of the Crisis, Dr. Deming, writing with clarity and simplicity, describes 14 points for Management which he believes are the basis for the transformation of American industry. According to Dr. Deming and many industrial historians, the adoption of the 14 points

by Japanese industry is largely responsible for that nation's quality revolution and superb industrial performance over the past four decades. The Navy has adopted the 14 points, and is publishing them throughout thefleetin deckplate magazines, TQL mobile training teams, and lectures in various training courses. As addressed in a recent article in All Hands: 1. Understand the Navy's mission and principles. Get a clear grasp of how your command supports the navy's mission and how the principles apply to your day-to-day actions.

2. Quality is the essence of TQL. Insist on quality performance and material. Do the job correctly the first time.

3. Know your job. Analyze and understand every facet of your responsibilities and those of your people.

4. Words alone don't solve problems. Look for faults and solutions first in the process and the system, not the people. Improve the process, train the people.

5. Quality training is the key to success.

People must be fully trained to do their jobs.

You are never too senior to learn.

6. Use analytical methods to understand and improve your jobs. Graphs and charts, properly used, are invaluable tools in this effort.

7. We are a team. We must work together across departments and commands.

8. Create an atmosphere of trust and open communication where everyone shares a sense of pride in their work. People should not be fearful of telling you what is wrong in order for the problem to be fixed.

9. Inspect smarter. Inspections should be methods of learning and improvement rather than threatening events.

10. Demand quality, not quotas.

11. Education and self-improvement are just as important as training. We must always get better.

12. All improvements, big and small alike, are important.

13. Be a leader. Your job as supervisor is to guide and assist your people.

14. All hands, from seaman to admiral, must learn and use TQL. The essence of TQL cannot be gleaned from a "cookbook" memorization of the 14 points.

Over the next several years, all hands will be exposed to formal TQL training, and it is through this process that improvements will occur. While there is a great deal of superb leadership in thefleettoday, TQL goes beyond simply good leadership. As the CNO commented in a recent All Hands article, "TQL is more than that [good leadership they've been practicing for years]. It's a systematic approach to improving the way we operate, and it depends on scientific method and using hard data to improve processes on a continuous basis."

In addition to the waterfront training that is just now beginning to emerge, the basic elements of TQL can be found in several books: Out of the Crisis, W Edwards Deming, 1982; The Deming Management Method, Mary Walton, 1986; The Team Handbook, P. R. Scholtes, 1988; What is Total Quality Control; The Japanese Way, K. Ishikawa, 19S5; Kaizen: The Key to Japan's Competitive Success, M. Imai, 1986; and Creating the Corporate Future, Russell Ackoff, 1981.

Total Quality Leadership, as described by the Chief of Naval Operations and senior Navy leadership, represents a considerable challenge for the fleet. The investment of time and effort continued on page 66 Shipmate, December 1991

We remain $500,000 short of reaching our Alumni Hall goal of $17 million—close but not yet "over the top." With respect to the other facets of the Campaign (faculty development, endowed academic chairs, professional development/ sailing endowment, midshipmen extracurricular activity endowment) we are approximately $3 million short of our goal in these areas. If

Alumni who have not yet supported the Campaign were to do so, we would go "over the top" in a matter of months and with respect to Alumni Hall by the end of 1991.

Shipmate, Decemtier 1991

The Mail Boat

One That Worked Shipmate: As I sat in my cabin waiting for the Chief Master at Arms to escort me to pass judgement on offenders assembled "before the mast," I reviewed the list of offenses. "Mast" was an infrequent occurrence in WREN as I preached that if we had to punish one of our shipmates, the fault did lie with him alone, in most cases, as it was usually indicative of poor leadership. Then too, half of my crew were recalled Texas Reservists. They had responded to my exhortation to make this recall an opportunity not a disaster. For the most part, fliey reacted in a spirit of amiable informality. This informality to European eyes might appear to border on the insubordinate, but was in reality the basis of perfect disciplineâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a discipline that would not fail under stress as it was based on mutual respect.

The offenses were not too serious. Among them was one case of absence over leave. This offence in itself did not indicate defiance of Authority or moral turpitude if there was some reason for it and the man's record aboard ship was good. It had to be punished, of course, to avoid chaos, but normally justice could be tempered with leniency.

As the overleave offender was called before me, I saw a defiant and bitter face. He was the product of a white eastern guetto who had had tofightever since he was born merely to exist.

He expected the worst and usually got it.

I asked him why he had been late. In tones that conveyed the thought, "What is the use, you will not believe me anyway," he gave a rambling and mostly incoherent explanation. In closing, he mumbled something about having been ill. As is customary, I asked his Division Officer and Petty Officer what sort of a man he was. The Division Officer damned him with faint praise. The Petty Officer, also a product of an eastern ghetto who had fought his way up in the Navy despite having only a third grade education, said that he was nothing but a trouble maker who was of no use to his Division or his ship. This was said with all the bitterness of one who had broken with his former environment and could not see why another could not do likewise.

The man's probable future flashed before my eyes. I could see a moderately severe punishment from me followed by a more serious offense, then a General Courtmartial, a bad conduct discharge, a life of petty crime and finally the big offense followed by a lifetime in prison.

I had to play for time. I announced that I would defer judgement until the alleged miscreant had been medically examined. I could see from the faces of others present that many were thinking: 8

"That bum has really taken the Old Man for a ride!"

At the time, we had on board a first class medical team as we were about to leave for our station as an Astronaut Recovery Vessel. I asked the veryfinedoctor who headed the team if I could use, or misuse, his medical skills. He readily agreed and quickly saw the picture.

During the next few weeks, he ran every test known to medical science and some that were not. His patient, in part bitterly resented the process, in part was frightened and in part enjoyed the attention. It was probably more attention than he had received in his entire life.

Eventually, we could delay no longer and I ordered the man brought back "before the mast." I did not know what would happen as I had carefully refrained from discussing it with his Division Officer or Division Petty Officer.

Reformation must be spontaneous, not contrived. I would not have discussed it with the Petty Officer in any case. Although a successful CO needs to project his personality to every man on board until he becomes the embodiment of the Ship, this must be done with great care or he will have someone like a Chief Boatswain's Mate saying: "If the Old Man wants to be the Chief Boats of this Scow, he can blanketty blank have it."

At the "second mast," when I asked the same question of the Division Officer and Petty Officer, their answers were the exact reverse of what they had been before. In glowing terms, they both said that the culprit had become a good man. I therefore said that in view of the inconclusive medical report and the fine comments of his immediate superiors, I would count the time he had been restricted to the Ship as punishment and that he was now restored to duty.

A few weeks later, we were scheduled to go alongside an oiler for underweigh refueling.

We had done this 20 times in a 34-day period while with Sixth Fleet but it still required proven skills and alert supervision.

I noticed that the Helmsman was the Seaman who had been the focus of our attention for the last few weeks. The Quartermaster asked if he could leave him on the Helm when we went alongside the oiler. He said that he was a good helmsman and that we needed more qualified Replenishment Helmsmen. I had misgivings about hazarding the Ship in the interest of social engineering. Then, I thought that there has to be a first time for everybody. A Commanding Officer was not really qualified until he took command. I told the Quartermaster to go ahead but to stand behind him and take over immediately if there were any sign of trouble. He would have done this in any case so my instruc-

tions were unnecessary.

Everything worked satisfactorily. When we had pulled clear and everything was relatively quiet, I called the newly qualified Replenishment Helmsman over. Without elaboration, I said: "You did a good job." He responded with a salute that would have put a Sergeant Major of the Household Brigade, on the Queen's birthday, to shame.

Although it wasflatteringto have the former dead-end-kid and loser hesitatingly come up to me with tears in his eyes to say goodby just before I was to give up my command and return to my Law Practice, Ifirmlybelieve that on those very few occasions when we do show insight, we are being nudged from above.

In the sight of God, all men are equal "The Captain of a Ship, like the Head of a State, is given honor and privileges and trust beyond other men. But let that ship set the wrong course, let it touch ground, let disaster fall to the Ship or its Crew, and the Captain must answer for what has happened. No matter what, he caimot escape."

End of the Investigation Shipmate: The prominent mention of Bill Snead in the '30 column in October brings to mind our association in a 7 December 1941 event.

The colunm mentioned that Bill was at that time XO of DOWNES. I was in CASSIN as Communications Officer with collateral duty as Ship's Service Officer. We entered the dry dock on Thursday, 4 December and that night our very small Ship's Service Store was robbed. On Friday, 5 December, Bill Snead was appointed to conduct a formal investigation of this incident. The investigation convened in the wardroom of CASSIN on Saturday morning, 6 December and recessed at noon to reconvene on Monday morning, 8 December. Late on the morning of the 7th, Bill and I passed going in opposite directions at the head of the dry dock.

He paused long enough to comment that not many investigations had such a short life and were terminated so drastically.

In the Desert squadrons from MAG 26, MAG 29 and Reserve squadrons were put under Col. Williams' command in MAG 26 in December 1990.

Advance parties arrived at Jubail in December and the whole Group was in place and fully operational by the first week in January. Based at Jubail, squadrons from the Group were also located at R'as Al Ghan due to ramp space being at a premium. On 14 January the Group moved all units up to EAF "Lonesome Dove," 14 miles from the southwestern comer of Kuwait's southern panhandle and forward of Second MarDiv. Under Col. Williams' command, MAG-26 supported 3D MAW and I MEF operations for the six months they were in Southwest Asia.

An Opinion Shipmate: Congratulations on the finest Shipmate ever. The September issue covers crucially relevant topics that should be of interest to all.

"Four Year Together . . . ," "My Shipmate the Spy," and "Remembering TRESHER" mark milestones of excellence. 1 read them compulsively, with fascination and feeling because they were such a marvelous blend of what our readers want.

It was good reading with that rarest of off things—good history with contemporary relevance. Well done, as they say in the Navy.

Alumni Hall Dedicated The first weekend in October was a gala affair as Alumni Hall was dedicated as well as two of its major internal components.

The kickoff was thefirstDress P-Rade of the Fall on Friday, 4 October. Adm. Robert L. J. Long USN (Ret.) '44, President of the Alumni Association, was the reviewing officer for the P-Rade on Worden Field. He and Mrs. Long then joined RAdm. and Mrs. Lynch in the receiving line at the post-parade reception in the garden of Buchanan House. From there it was a "uniform race" for them and many of the guests to change into black tie attire for the 1990 reception and dinner in Alumni Hall.

About 480 people gathered in the concourses on the enclosed outside second deck of Alumni Hall for cocktails. At 2000, they moved down to the main portion of the building where tables for eight were set for dinner. The Naval Academy Glee Club performed and put all attendees in a festive mood. After dinner there were remarks by Capt. William S. Busik USN (Ret.) '43, Executive Director of the Alumni Association; Adm. Long and final remarks by RAdm. Thomas C. Lynch USN '64, Superintendent.

The evening closed with a rendition of "Navy Blue and Gold" sung by Midn. 1/c Derek A. Trinque USN accompanied by more than 480 other voices, especially in the encouragemnt of "Beat Army!"

The program continued on Saturday 5 October with the dedication of two internal components of Alumni Hall. These are the Admiral Eliot H. Bryant Distinguished Visitors Room and the Bob Hope Performing Arts Center.

At 1430 on Saturday, the Admiral Eliot H. Bryant Distinguished Visitors Room was dedicated by Mrs. Eliot H. Bryant. Actually a suite of rooms, the complex was made possible by the extraordinary generosity of Mrs. Bryant in honor of her late husband, a member of the Class of 1919.

Containing an attractively furnished sitting and reception room, a kitchen and a private restroom, the Bryant Room will be used to receive distinguished guests who are lecturing or performing in Alumni Hall.

The Bob Hope Performing Arts Center is the main amphitheater of Alumni Hall. It can have many configurations. On Saturday it was a theater. On Friday, it was a dining room. The following Tuesday, it was an auditorium for the Forrestal Lecture. It can accommodate more than just parents for inclement weather graduations unlike the former Halsey Field House arrangement. The entire Brigade plus the faculty can be seated for an address by the Supe. It can even be a sports arena.

The stars of the dedication were Mr. and 10

Mrs. Bryant, assisted by Bill Busik, opens the Admiral Eliot H. Bryant Distinguished Visitors Room

Mrs. Bob Hope. He called Alumni Hall, "an Oscar of a building."

Mr. Hope proved himself a real trouper (in both spellings) when he appeared on stage despite having suffered a serious fall the previous night while giving a performance at an air base in Florida. Inside of bowing to vanity as a lesser light might have, he insisted that he was going to perform for the Brigade disregarding the bruises and lacerations on his face as a result of the mishap. He proved to be as much of a trooper as those he has entertained all over the Rip Miller

world these past 50 years of war and peace.

The Hopes' first stop in the Yard was Buchanan House where they were welcomed by the Superintendent and Mrs. Lynch. The Lynches escorted them to the Alumni Hall where they met, inter alia, Adm. and Mrs. Long, Adm. and Mrs. Kelso, and Mrs. Bryant. In the meantime, the entire Brigade of Midshipmen and invited guests were awaiting the performance listening to the Musical Prelude of the Naval Academy Band. Never ones to be bored while waiting the Brigade did several "spontaneous" renditions of "the wave" which raced around the circumference of the theater. Midn. Capt.

Juliane J. Gallina escorted Mr. Hope to the stage amid a standing ovation. After Midn. 1/c S. Phillip Dillard, II led the house in the National Anthem, RAdm. Lynch welcomed the Hopes to the Alumni Hall and presented the Brigade of Midshipmen.

Mr. Hope was introduced by Mr. Chapman B. Cox, President of the World USO. The Brigade and guests were treated to a flow of Bob Hope one-liners interspersed with ad libs. Mr. Hope left the stage to take his seat in the audience to another standing ovation.

Then it was his turn to be entertained along with the Brigade and the others present. The entertainers were the men and women of the United States Naval Academy Band under the direction of Cdr. T. Michael Burch-Pesses and the Midshipmen of the Glee Club under Dr. John B. Talley. Thefinalewas Mrs. Hope singing "It Had To Be You." Dolores Hope figuratively brought the house down.

Midn. Gallina invited Mr. Hope to rejoin her on stage where she presented him with a Brigade baseball cap and a Midshipman's B-robe decorated with a N-star and "Bob Hope Says BEAT ARMY." He was profuse in his thanks for having been honored by the Academy and in his praise of the magnificence of the building.

Mr. Hope's final surprise came at the end of "Navy Blue and Gold." He was unprepared for almost 5,000 voices in unison shout, "BEAT ARMY!"

Rip Miller Dies E. E. Miller, the man who was a legend of Notre Dame football in the '20s and a mainstay of the Navy football coaching staff from 1925 until his retirement, died on 1 October in Annapolis. He was 90 and suffered from Parkinson's Disease.

Rip was the last surviving member of the Notre Dame 1924 National Championship team under the legendary Knute Rockne. That team had the backfield known as the "Four Horseman," while Rip was a member of the stalwart line called the "Seven Mules." He came to Shipmate, December 1991

Navy in 1926 after serving a season as assistant coach at Indiana under "Navy Bill" Ingram '20.

When the latter left Indiana to be head coach at Navy, he brought Rip with him thus beginning a tenure which was to touch seven decades. Under Bill Ingram and Rip Miller, the 1926 team was determined to be National Champion.

When Bill Ingram left in 1931, Ripfleetedup to be head coach through the 1934 season. When Tom Hamilton '27 came on board to be head coach. Rip reverted to assistant.

In 1934, he became Assistant Athletic Director with specific duties in athletic recruiting. In 1972 the Washington Touchdown Club inducted him into its Hall of Fame. He was an Honorary Member of the Class of '66 and an Honorary Member of the Naval Academy Alumni Association.

He is survived by his widow, Esther, two daughters and a son, plus eight grandchildren and one great grandchild.

Services were held on 4 October at the Naval Academy Chapel with inurnment in the Columbarium.

Christmas Ball The annual Christmas Ball for the Classes of '39 through '49 in the Washington, D.C. area will be held on 18 December. The locale will be the Bethesda Officers' Club with cocktails (cash bar) from 1900 to 2000; filet mignon at 2000; and dancing to the tunes's of the '40s as done by The Aristocrats.

The price is $70 per couple. Tables will be numbered by Classes. Classmates are encouraged to reserve a table of eight or ten. Black tie is encouraged and early reservations are a must because a sell out is expected as usual.

Shipmate, December 1991

A Day of Infeuny 50 Years Agoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I Was There!

Commander James A. Woodruff Jr., USN (Ret.)

Saturday 6 December 1941 was just another of those lovely Hawaiian weekends. All was calm and peaceful in those islands of Paradise.

The clear blue sky was almost cloudless and the graceful coconut palms swayed gently in the cooling Trade Wind.

That morning I went surfing off Waikiki and the waves were unusually good, rolling in off the Pacific, in long smooth swells that gave us some wonderful rides. In the afternoon I played tennis at the old Polo Club at Kapiolani Park, at the foot of Diamond Head. One of the players in our tennis match was Adm. Walter S. Anderson, Commander Battleships Battle Force, (who could possibly believe that most of his battleships would be sitting on the bottom of Pearl Harbor, burning hulks, less than 24 hours later?) The Admiral had scheduled Annual Admiral's Inspections in several of the battleships the following week. Many watertight doors were open below decks, as the crew made last minute preparations for their inspections.

That evening. Hazel and I went to a delightful dinner party in Kahala, the pretty residential area just around Diamond Head, on the beach. Dinner followed by a fun poker game that went on until the wee hours. We finally made our way to our little home high up on Maunilani Heights in the hills behind Honolulu. We loved it because of the gorgeous view out over Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach, with the city of Honolulu spread out below us.

The big high mountain Tantalus, on the West, shut off any view of Pearl Harbor.

At 0700 7 December 1941, my alarm went off, and I rolled out of my bunk with a groan and a headache after only about four hours sleep, and a slight hangover. I had the Sunday Duty at the Submarine Base Pearl Harbor and had to relieve the Saturday Duty Officer at Morning Colors. I left the house without waking Hazel, or my little two-year-old daughter, who would be given her breakfast by our Japanese maid, very shortly. It was a sparkling Sunday morning and I enjoyed the half hour drive to Pearl Harbor, as there was no traffic that early in the morning, and I looked forward to a good breakfast at the Sub Base Officer's Club after I relieved the Watch.

Shipmate, December 1991

Battleship Row on Ford Island, Pearl Harbor.

Within seconds these torpedoes were slamming into the sides of the helpless battleships, and Japanese dive bombers were screaming down, one after the other, blasting the battleships with their bombs. All hell had broken loose!

It didn't take any orders from the Duty Officers, who were staring open mouthed at the whole scene, for all the men of the Duty Sections to disperse and scramble for cover, along with the Duty Officers. Can you believe it? I don't think there was a single anti-aircraft gun on the entire Submarine Base, and we did not I arrived at Pearl Harbor about 0745 and en- even have any helmets.

The muster was almost My view of the unbelievable scene of decomplete and the senior Petty Officer of each struction, burning and devastation on BattleSection was just about to make his report at ship Row was truly a ringside seat, but I have 0755 when, with a tremendous roar, a whole never felt as helpless and frustrated and angry Squadron, or more, of planes with big red suns in my life! When the bombers released their painted under their wings, and torpedoes hang- bombs high above us they looked like ten pins, ing under them, passed not 50 feet over our in a group, all headed directly for us, but just heads. They were aiming for the battleships, before they landed they zoomed over to the Batless than a quarter of a mile away, moored at tleships and landed with a huge explosion. I could see the planes and hangars, at nearby Hickham Field, burning in great clouds of black smoke. The Duty Officer of each of the submarines, lined up at the Sub Base docks, had flooded main ballast tanks and put their boats on the bottom, on orders of the Squadron Duty Officer. Their cigarette decks were still above water, and all of them were firing their .50 cal. guns at the Jap planes. I saw one Jap torpedo plane fall into the harbor soon after passing over the subs, so their fire was effective. It was amazing, and a real tribute to the 13

men of the battleships, how soon after the surprise attack, the anti-aircraft guns of all calibers were firing full blast at the attackers. This in spite of flie hail of fire and bombs from the Jap planes.

I had acquired a pair of 7/50 OOD binoculars during the attack and this added greatly to my observations. One exciting incident I plainly saw, was a Jap Mini-Sub suddenly surface in the harbor between Ford Island and the Navy Yard. One of the ships moored at Ford Island put a five inch shell right thru her conning tower. This sent the sub to the bottom with her two man crew, but not before they had put a torpedo into the side of HONOLULU moored at the Navy Yard. The old OGLALA moored just astern of the cruiser sank from sheer fright, no damage was ever found. I followed the heroic attempt of gallant NEVADA to escape from Pearl Harbor, (the only battleship able to get under way that day). And herfinalgrounding at the side of the channel, only a mile or so from freedom, after a devastating and concentrated attack by a swarm of Jap dive bombers.

There was a lull in the attack by the Japs from about 0900 until about 1000. When they probably returned to their carriers for rearming. (My times are from memory and could be slightly in error.) But then they returned with renewed attacks, mostly by dive bombers and strafing by fighters, still concentrating on the battleships.

About this time I saw some small boats heading out into the harbor where I could see hundreds of men in the water. So, I ran down to the Sub Base Boat Sheds and, with a number of other volunteers, we went out into the harbor to try to rescue some of the poor battleship sailors in the water. The best I could commandeer was a motor whaleboat, a first class machinist to run it and a chief boatswain at the tiller with two young seaman along for muscle. We managed to haul out about two dozen exhausted swimmers, in two or three round-trips, some covered with oil and some badly burned. It was a great feeling to know that we were finally doing something to help. The damn Japs were strafing the harbor most of the time, before they departed for good, about 1100. Admiral Husband E. Kimmel CinCPac, sent a Letter of Appreciation, dated 16 December 1941, to the Commanding Officer, Submarine Base, "for the rescue efforts of the Base personnel."

The Japanese never dropped a bomb on the Navy Yard or the fuel tanks, all around the harbor, or the Submarine Base. I learned much later that they had orders from the highest echelons to spare these facilities. They had plans for the capture of the Hawaiian Islands, and they wanted to save these facilities for their own use at a later date. But the historic Battle of Midway foiled that grand scheme, only six months later.

We all expected the Japs to return in the next few days and add to the destructoin and maybe 14

attempt a landing. But, as we all know, that was not to be and the Japanese Fleet turned homeward and escaped Scott free, our searches by air and sea never contacted them. To the Japs credit they did not drop a bomb (one fell by accident with no casualties or damage) on the civilian population of Honolulu. My wife and child, high up on Maunaiani Heights, were untouched but went thru days, and blacked out nights, in sheer terror, and I did not get home for many days. From that disastrous Sunday morning, 7 December 1941, life in the Islands of Paradise was never the same again, and it was the beginning of the great Pacific War, that was not to end in victory until almost four years later.

Shipmate, Decemtier 1991

The Japanese Sword Captain Roy C. Smith III USNR (Ret.)

This is the story of three dissimilar friends and a bit of bureaucracy. The friends were Capt. Francis D. McCorkle USN (known as "Tiny"), Maj. Glen W Bruner AUS, and Capt.

Kenjiro Tobita UN in Sasebo during the initial occupation of Japan in September 1945. McCorkle, ComDesRon 5, was assigned to take over the Sasebo Naval Base with all Japanese ships present or to be delivered there; Bruner, a JICPOA staffer who had lived 23 pre-war years in Japan, was assigned as his interpreter; and Tobita was the Japanese liaison officer through whom all orders were carried outâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;promptly and efficiently. In the course of working together daily for two months the three became fast friends.

Soon after setting up their operational base there came a rumor that the occupation forces were about to confiscate all swords and other weapons from the Japanese. Capt. Tobita approached Maj. Bruner to see if it would be considered proper for him to present his prized service sword to Capt. McCorkle rather than lose it through confiscation. With an affirmative on that the presentation was formally made on 28 September, along with a paper on the history, art and significance of Japanese sword-making.

That sword was a treasured and prized display in the McCorkle home from then on, and the paper became the basis for an article by Capt.

McCorkel on Japanese swords in the Naval Institute Proceedings.

At the end of October Capt. McCorkle was relieved of duties in Sasebo when his destroyer squadron was ordered home. In his final report on Sasebo he included this paragraph (excerpted for brevity): Capt. Tobita, Japanese liaison officer for inspections, was in almost daily contact with ComDesRon 5. He was reported as a samurai but conducted himself always with the dignity, poise, politeness and efficiency of a skillful and experienced naval officer. He had spentfifteenyears in destroyers; his last engagement with Americans was at Soerabaya in 1942, after which he had commanded a training station in Japan because his health no longer permitted him to go to sea. He knew that Japan was broken, exhausted, and completely defeated. He feared that the people, so accustomed to complete regimentation, would take years to accomplish what they now desiredâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to learn about, know and act like other peoples on earth, especially those in the United States.

Shipmate, December 1991

Capt. McCorkle returned to Japan in December 1951 commanding USS NEW JERSEY on a port visit to Yokosuka. He was unable to contact Capt. Tobita, but did get his address in Kagoshima, on Kyushu, and settled for a letter to his old friend. That brought a long, warm, reply from Tobita expressing great pleasure in hearing from his old boss and in being remembered by him. In 1953 McCorkle, now a rear admiral serving in OpNav, heard that Glen Bruner was the U.S. Consul in Kobe and wrote him that their old friend was living in Kagoshima, enclosing a copy of his Proceedings article on the Japanese sword. Bruner wrote back in December that he had taken leave to visit Tobita, who was delighted to have the article, that the two had "fellowshipped" for 29 hours in a Japanese inn, and that it had been a wonderful experience.

That gave RAdm. McCorkle the idea that it would be a nice gesture to return Tobita's sword to him, perhaps with some bit of ceremony. He wrote Bruner, knowing of his deep understanding of Japan and the Japanese, to ask his opinion. He replied that McCorkle's acceptance of the sword had given Tobita great personal, if not "spiritual," satisfaction and that to return the sword now would undoubtedly be even more appreciated. With that the die was cast.

A February 1954 letter to Bruner asked for advice on how best to proceed; it seemed certain there was no chance the Admiral could present it in person but he could arrange to have the sword brought to Japan in a Navy ship. But Bruner was scheduled to return stateside for a long leave in March; he therefore turned the whole matter over to the Navy boss in Kobe, CO of the MSTS office, complete with the entire file of correspondence on the sword and its possible return.

That was a bit too high level for the CO MSTS, so he passed the whole file officially to ComNavFE for action, with a copy of his transmittal letter to RAdm. McCorkle. On 4 May McCorkle wrote personally to VAdm. William Callaghan, ComNavFE, explaining the background of the sword's presentation to him and his wish to return it ceremoniously to Capt. Tobita. He could arrange to send it out to Japan by one of the Atlantic destroyers deploying to Korea if the presentation were arranged.

Meanwhile, ComNavFE had forwarded the

CO MSTS letter to CNO, enclosing the whole correspondence file for return to RAdm. McCorkle and asking official confirmation that the proposed return of the sword was in the best interests of the United States. (McCorkle had the pleasure of endorsing that letter back to ComNavFE with assurance that it was.) At the same time Admiral Callaghan wrote a personal letter to Admiral McCorkle saying that, because the proposed return of Tobita's sword had gotten into official channels, he had forwarded everything back to CNO. But, he wrote, "Since your original thought of courtesy appears to be growing into a case approximating that of A Bell for Adano, may I suggest that with the return of the official correspondence you clutch the same to your bosom and forward the sword to me by whatever means seems best and I will take care of the rest."

On 8 June 1954 Op 33 (McCorkle) requested the Supply Officer, Naval Gun Factory Washington, to crate the Tobita sword and its display case and deliver them to Fleet Logistics Wing Terminal at NAS Patuxent River for air shipment to VAdm. William Callaghan, ComNavFE, at Yokosuka. A personal letter to Callaghan informed him of shipment via Flying Tiger Air on 9 June. He replied on 21 July that the sword and case had arrived safely, that a U.S. ship would visit Kagoshima early next month, and that Capt. Tobita had been informed of the presentation to be made then.

Capt. H. G. Claudius USN, ComMinFlot 1, embarked in USS LST 799 and arrived in Kagoshima Bay as planned. The return presentation was made by Capt. Claudius for RAdm. McCorkle before Mrs. Tobita, the Provincial Governor, the Mayor of Kagoshima, President of the Chamber of Commerce, Chief of Police, two close Tobita friends and reporters in a quarterdeck ceremony. Capt. Tobita was overcome with joy to have his sword come home after such a distinguished interim possession.

One sentence tells it all: "I am so happy that I feel as if I am holding the hand of a lover after nine years."

"What ShaU We TeU The British?"

Captain John A. Mareno USN (Ret.)

The time, more than 50 years ago, shortly after Dunkerque; British freedom was very threatened. The place, Washington during a typical hot, humid Summer. The Army and the Navy (there was no Air Force) were barely on speaking terms with each other, but even so, speaking different languages. All this was before "Joint" anything and the memories of Billie Mitchell and the Douhet Theory were very vivid.

Suddenly we had orders—oral, of course— to attend a meeting on the second deck of the neighboring and equally old Munitions Building. We represented the material bureaus of the Navy Department—BuAer. BuOrd and BuShips, among them—and the corresponding branches of the Army—Signal Corps, Ordnance etc. There were no security classifications for individuals, as we know them today.

Each Navy Bureau and Army Branch had one representative present. At that time relations with the British were formal and distant. We were to confer with the British but we had no instructions or policy to guide us, merely word that there was to be a meeting with the British Scientific Mission, undoubtedly set up by Roosevelt and Churchill personally though we were never so told.

Before the British arrived there was a discussion as to which of our secrets to reveal to them.

"The Norden Bombsight?"

"Oh, no! My Bureau would never permit that!"

"The VT fuse?"

"Oh, no! My Bureau would never permit that!"

"Radar?"

"Oh, no! My Bureau would never permit that!" (A. Hoyt Taylor's splendid original research work at the Naval Research Laboratory, Bellevue, the CXAM test installation on USS NEW YORK and other work was still mentioned only in a whisper.)

It soon became apparent that we weren't going to tell the British anything.

And then in came Sir Henry Tizard and his half a dozen fellow members of the Scientific Mission. There was a moment's silence and then a very brief introduction of one of Britain's most brilliant and charming men. He broke the ice by saying, "What I am about to tell you I hope you will regard with as much secrecy as though it were your own." Then followed a full revelation of all British research.

There was no haggling about "I'll tell you this if you tell me that . . . " Other subjects were discussed but the emphasis was on radar in which Sir Henry had played such an important a part.

As he said, "We've worked out the research—(the Americans had, too)—Now we turn to you for the engineering." He admitted that valuable prototypes had to be abandoned on the beaches at Dunkerque. But initially the Nazis didn't realize what a treasure had been presented to them. The Battle of Bri-

tain was just beginning but, regardless of the outcome. Sir Henry emphasized that Nazi aircraft would always be detected from the moment they took off from the Far shore.

British equipment was bulky, clumsy and awkward but it was in service and it worked.

We had nothing in service until we managed to obtain 90 aircraft radars from them. Some 50 were taken away from BuAer by BuShips to be installed in surface vessels, mainly destroyers.

As I recall, at this meeting we really told the British very little, but the ice was broken.

On completion of the meeting I returned to my Bureau and wrote a very detailed—perhaps too lengthy—report to the chief of my Bureau.

It got an icy reception. I had inquired of Sir Henry if the British would accept American visitors in person at their various activities. The room had been deadly still awaiting his reply.

But he smiled and said, "Of course!" So I strongly recommended in my report that we send our people to England immediately (including myself) to find out what they were doing. At the moment nothing was done but in a few weeks the Bureau Chief finally relented and our people were sent to England in droves (not including my bitter self).

The main point was that this was the start of close cooperation with the British, brought about largely by their frankness and generosity.

Beat Army!

Reflections on Life in the Yard Class of '49 William A. O'Flaherty

In October, 1989, the Class of '49 had its 40th Reimion. At the memorial service our Class President put it all in prospective. He said, "When we graduated, the Class of '09 was celebrating its 4(hh Reunion." That will make you feel a bit ancient. Why, it seems like yesterday that we were Plebes and thought we had the worry of the world upon us. Actually the only real worry was to survive. I was very fortunate because two of my "wives" or roommates, as is now a more acceptable phrase, I had known and played basketball with at Bullis, a preparatory school for the Academy.

The other two plus another Plebe, became lifelong friends, though we do not write or even see each other but about once every five years.

Another strange thing is that with all the numbers that life imposes on us, the only two I always remember are my serial number, but more importantly, my laundry number. I have often wondered why some enterprising person hasn't written a bio on the various laundry numbers. The strange part of all this is that I can remember my roommates' numbers also.

In our day, we put our laundry outside the door to our room on a given schedule, and just like clockwork it reappeared at a given place in the corridor on a given day. We took turns getting the laundry for the entire room so, perhaps, that is why the numbers stick in my mind. Of course, every piece of clothing we owned had the number stenciled on it, including our slide rule case and lock box. I guess in our day it was like the social security number has become in recent years—even if you are only one-yearold.

There is another reason, but it is more delicate after all these years to recall.

Our Class had a down right hatred for the Class of '48A, which was well deserved and lasts to this day. I will not go into the reasons as everyone in '49 knows what I'm saying is correct. Well, we had certain squads that had certain duties to perform and one of mine was to find the clean laundry of certain members of '48A and to hide it. Obviously, after a few weeks of no laundry one tends to run out. This will make even a brave man cry, and there were not many brave men in '48A, at least not in Shipmate, December 1991

those days. I know this sounds childish, as you read this, but there were many sore rear ends, trembling legs, and the vision of no leave involved because of the so-called victims of the laundry brigade.

The whole point of this personal recollection is to point out the impact of the Academy on each person who attended. The verses of the Alma Mater probably say it best. Also, the one phrase that I remember is "This is not like the old Navy." I wonder if anyone ever found the old Navy, I know I never did.

The other phrase started off "When I was a Plebe." Of course, all this reminiscing is brought about by the approaching Army-Navy game. When I think back, they were really wonderful years. Though we never actually won during my four years, two of the best football games ever played were during this period.

I can still see the Black Knights of the Hudson as Blanchard and Davis led them onto the field.

Then there was the coach. Red Blaike, who would run up the score against anyone, if he had a chance. No one today can imagine how Army dominated the football scene. Not only were they undefeated, but they had about seven all-Americans, and they played both ways in those days. This is terrible to say, but our Class only saw Navy win itsfirstgame our Plebe Year at home and not another one during our fouryear stay. If you were not a good sport about athletics, you were at the wrong place. [You have to remember that '49 was the first scheduled four-year Class after World War II. We also were the 100th Class. Who in our Class will ever forget the 100th anniversary and the 100-gun salute with the Midshipmen passing out like flies in the heat. Strange what we remember!]

We didn't win because we didn't have good football players—in fact we had so many exand future all-Americans that they would run into each other in the backfield. We also had an Alumnus as a coach. Later we had the first civilian coach ever at the Academy. An Alumnus as a coach wasn't as bad an idea as it might seem, because athletes were not held up as idols, and they had to work harder than the rest of the Brigade just to play. The civilian coach

wondered why the team had to go to evening meal formation, and why they had to worry about their grades and shine their shoes. So it really sort of took one to know one.

From the Plebes point of view the ArmyNavy game, meant: painting Tecumseh, acting crazy in Bancroft Hall, a bonfire, and the stirring speeches of former players and Alumni, all of whom were admirals or retired admirals. In our day we asked the parents to send telegrams to the players, which seemed to help. Also, this was before TV, the largest crowd for any game (over 102,(KX)), a date, and freedom for almost a whole day.

First of all there was the Plan of the Day. As to this day, no one knew what the weather was going to be so, we carried everything. We did it the Navy way. Thefirstyear, we boarded one of the Chesapeake excursion boats and nearly froze sleeping on the deck overnight. Perhaps this isn't the place to make this comment, but no one ever asked us whether we liked something or not. It just came out in the Plan of the Day, and we did it. The early morning shave in cold water was great—the cold eggs about the same, but wefinallyarrived in Philly for the big game. As we marched through the city, people threw things at us; little children would come up and say "Daddy, when are you coming home?"; and we stopped in a large city park which very shortly became the world's largest rest station. We took off again and if by magic, arrived at the stadium just before high noon; in other words, on schedule.

As the clock struck high noon. The Brigade Commander marched on the field and once again it was—ARMY-NAVY DAY. This year when THE GAME comes on TV and I'm sitting there with my children and three grandsons, they will play Anchor's Aweigh, and a tear will roll down my cheek as I remember the olde days—BEAT ARMY.

Frigateer USN Commander Rodney K. Wingo SC USN (Ret.)

Myfirstexposure to the frigate navy came on a hot June day in 1950 in the West Texas town of Fort Stockton. My wife and I were returning from leave in Salt Lake City. I was due back at NAS Corpus Christi the following day. I had stopped at a stoplight in Fort Stockton when we were approached by a Mexican teenager. He told me, "The sheriff wants to see you." I first thought someone was playing a joke on me.

But who could possibly know me in Fort Stockton? Questioning of the boy evoked no possible reason for the sheriff wanting to see me other than the fact that my presence was demanded now! I pulled over to the curb near the courthouse and soon presented myself at the sheriff's office. There I was told that the Duty Officer at Corpus Christi had given the license number and description of my car to the Highway Patrol and asked that I be stopped. Now I knew that something was up. I placed a call to the Duty Officer and was told that I had received orders to sea duty. Not just orders but proceed immediately orders to Japan. Then the situation began to dawn on me. The North Korean invasion of South Korea had occurred just a few days before. The United States was at war and somewhere in Japan was a ship for which I was destined to be the Supply Officer. I returned to the car and told my wife what I had leamed. We spent the next ten hours in a state of shock discussing what had to be done before I left.

I was a jg at the time and a recent graduate of the Navy Supply Corps School. The air station at Corpus Christi was my first "pork chopper" assignment. Having been married less than two years the very thought of leaving shore duty and my "bride" did not exactly appeal to me.

But leave I did. After arriving home about midnight we spent the next day checking out and arranging for the shipment of our household goods. Having packed my seabag I took off at 0630 the next morning for San Francisco leaving my wife to close out the house and drive back to Salt Lake City to stay with her folks while I was at sea.

Within a very short time I found myself in Yokosuka, Japan. Several other Supply Corps types and I were the first arrivals of the nucleus crews for a group of ten patrol frigates (PF) the 20

Navy was preparing to commission. My ship, GLENDALE, PF36, was scheduled to be commissioned in the second group of four ships.

Having reached my destination I set out to learn something about my new home-to-be.

PF36 was launched at Consolidated Steel Co. in Los Angeles on 28 May 1943 and was commissioned on 1 October 1943. She was a member of the TACOMA class of frigates whose design was an equivalent of the British and Canadian "River" class of ships. She was 304' long with a 37.5' beam and a 12.5' draft. Her full load displacement was 2454 tons. Her armament consisted of three 3" 50s, a 40mm twin mount, nine 20mms and two racks of depth charges plus 8 single projectors or K guns.

With a top speed of about 18 knots and limited sonar and radar capabilities, GLENDALE would not be placed in the most feared category of escort ships.

The interesting part of the ship's history was what happened to her during the war (World War 11). Her first commanding officer was LCdr. H. J. Doebler, USCG, who with his Coast Guard crew took the ship to New Guinea for a period of antisubmarine and antiaircraft escort duty. GLENDALE left the Southwest Pacific area in December 1944 bound for an overhaul in Maine and a subsequent turnover to the Russian Navy! She was decommissioned on 12 June 1945 in Cold Bay, Alaska, and immediately turned over to the Russians as a part of our Lend Lease program. The Russians renamed her EK42. What use was made of the ship during her Soviet tour 1 have been unable to determine. She was returned to the U S Navy

on 16 November 1949 at Yokosuka along with nine sister ships. There she lay moored to a buoy until the advent of the Korean War. Already at Yokosuka to greet me when I arrived were several friends, also prospective Supply Officers of frigates. Among them were Classmates Wendell McHenry and Jim Blaes and Roger Bagnall from '47. Wendell's ship, EVERETT, was in the first group of four to be commissioned. These ships went into active service a week after I arrived in Japan. Jim, Roger and I were assigned to ships scheduled for the second group of commissionings.

My first opportunity to board GLENDALE proved to be a real eye opener. The ship had had no upkeep or maintenance since the Russians left. And who knows what sort of maintenance the Soviets were performing while she was in their custody. In fact remnants of the last Russian meal remained in the galley area. Deepfreezes, electric fans and several other nice-tohave pieces of equipment had been removed by parties unknown. Needless to say much work needed to be done to make GLENDALE habitable. But time was of the essence, so I was told, and the Repair Facility personnel were determined to get the ships ready for sea in short order. I watched as the first four frigates were made ready. A drydocking and painting of the topsides and living spaces was the order of the day. There was not enough time to properly prepare the living spaces for painting so needless to say the crews spent most of the first few weeks of commissioned life redoing what the yard had accomplished.

After the first four ships were commissioned, our turn came. I became one of seven officers and about 125 sailors assigned to GLENDALE. We were madly trying to get things organized when word came through that our entire enlisted crew had orders to LSTs. We did not know at the time but General McArthur's invasion at Inchon was being planned. Navy crews were needed for LSTs which had been loaned to the Japanese at the end of the war.

Our PF crews took over these ships from the Japanese and participated in the historic landing at Inchon.

Shipmate, December 1991

After the loss of our first crew I continued working with the Outfitting Officer of the Supply Department, Fleet Activities in trying to meet my commissioning requirements. Needless to say the Supply Department was short of many items which we vitally needed. For example, blank record books needed for logs were not to be had. And worst of all my allotment of BuSandA forms were not around! A disbursing officer's safe was not available and it appeared that I would be forced to use a very unsuitable Japanese substitute. Luckily a regulation safe was hoisted aboard two days before we went into commission. As for spare parts I never will know where they were, if in fact we had any. I also never remember having to submit any emergency requisitions for spares all the time I was aboard. The Chief Engineer must have been a super scrounger.

On 11 October 1950 the big day came and GLENDALE was commissioned. I do not remember any of the details of the commissioning ceremonyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I was much too busy for such mundane matters. Personnel problems were uppermost in my mind. Our second crew held some real surprises for me. My entire office help consisted of a Reserve second class storekeeper who was a Yellow Cab driver in Philadelphia. His sole Navy experience had been running a Ship's Store at an advance base in the Pacific during WWII. My cooks consisted of all Reservists, one 1/c, one 2/c and one 3/c. I had no disbursing help, no shipservicemen and no rated stewards. My training work was cut out for me. And it's a good thing that I knew how to type because I got lots of practice.

After commissioning we went out for sea trials on Tokyo Bay. The weather was mild. 1 went down to the Supply Office to do some work. When I opened the door I was greeted by a rush of very hot air. No one could work in the space. After a pleading entreaty to the Chief Engineer for help I was rewarded. The office was located over a lube oil storage tank whose steam heater was turned on. Needless to say the valve was turned off and when we came back into port my office was usable.

I can't remember too much about GLENDALE'S travels during my stay on board other than two voyages. Thefirstoccurred in November 1950 when we were ordered to go to Manus Island to survey the spot as a possible Japanese weather station site. When we arrived at Manus we found a small island, devoid of any harbor or landing facilities but complete with all elements, runway and equipment, for a Navy air base. To get ashore we went as far as we could in our motor whaleboat and then on to the beach in a rubber liferaft. I took one opportunity to view the island while we were there. I was amazed when I saw row after row of small boats in their cradles, automotive vehicles and construction equipment. Rusted out Quonset Hut warehouses full of usable general stores items were in one area. I also saw several Shipmate, December 1991

Quonset Huts full of completely rusted out office machines of all sorts. And although 1 did not see it I was told that the Armory was full of all kinds of ammunition and small arms.

We returned from Manus and almost immediately made preparations for a trip up the East Coast of Korea to Hungnam. It was at this time that the Chinese had entered the war and our Marines were fighting their way out of the Chosin Reservoir encirclement. Our duty at Hungnam was to act as Harbor Entrance Control Vessel. Never have I been so cold nor seen such miserable weather. Luckily for us the evacuation was a success and was accomplished in short order. We did go into the harbor on one occasion and tied up to the pier for a short time. I shall never forget the scene there of dirty, cold and bedraggled Marines coming down the pier to load onto the waiting transports. Believe me I was more than thankful to see the last Navy ship leave Hungnam and our HECV duty end.

Several of GLENDALE'S sister ships had interesting careers. Two of them alternated as station ships at Hong Kong. They would remain anchored in the harbor of the British Crown colony and among other duties, would act as the U S Agent in procuring supplies and services from Chinese vendors for other visiting ships.

Other frigates in the group had the distinct pleasure of operating as weather ships at a patrol station near the western Aleutian Islands.

Because of their age, slow speed and outdated armament, radar and sonar, the ships were of very little use to the Navy in the post-Korean War period.

After I was transferred from GLENDALE I pretty much forgot about the ship until I decided to write this. In researching the files of the Naval Historical Center I found what happened to her. On 29 October 1951 she was decommissioned at Yokosuka and delivered to the Thai Navy. According to Jane's Fighting Ships, GLENDALE was renamed TACHIN, and as of 1989 was still on active duty. Others of GLENDALE'S sister ships met varied fates. At least two were transferred to the South Koreans.

Some were given to South American navies. I have recently read E. B. Porter's book. Admiral Arleigh Burkeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;A Biography, where I learned that several of the ships were transferred to the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force.

In retrospect 1 view my duty on GLENDALE with a certain amount of nostalgia. It was most certainly a broadening experience for me in my first supply duty afloat. But believe me when I say that it was not one which I would care to have to repeat.

"The checks arui balances system is the foundation of our democratic form of government. The members of the U.S. Congress have given new meaning to the terms 'checks' and 'balances' in recent vi'eeks" —Anon Awards During ceremonies on 13 October 1991 aboard YORKTOWN (CV-10), the Carrier Aviation National Memorial, at the Patriot's Point Naval and Maritime Museum, Charleston, S.C, VAdm. Forrest S. Peterson, USN, deceased, '45 was inducted into the Naval Test Pilots Hall of Honor. "Pete" Peterson, a career Navy fighter pilot, received his masters in Aeronautical Engineering from Princeton and was the top graduate in his Test Pilots School Class. In 1958 he was selected as one of the pilots of the X-15 research akcraft in which he conducted hypersonic test flights. Later he served as CO, ENTERPRISE, (CVN-65), Deputy Chief of Naval Operations, Air Warfare, and Commander Naval Air Systems Command. He retired from active duty in 1980.

Senator John McCain '58 received a National Military Family Association aimual award for government officials in recognition for his outstanding efforts with respect to transition assistance benefits for personnel being separated from the Armed Force under force reduction plans. Cdr. Thomas L. Travis, USN, '71 received the Navy's VAdm. James B. Stockdale (USNA '47) award for inspirational leadership while CO, USS NEW YORK CITY (SSN-696). Cdr. Ronald E. Wagner, USN, '74 received the Navy's Capt. Virgil Lemmon award for aviation maintenance excellence while serving as the Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department Officer aboard USS SARATOGA (CV-60). Lt. Earl C. Bowers, USN '85 received the Monterey Council Navy League award for highest academic achievement presented quarterly to the top graduate of the Naval Post Graduate School. He was ranked number one of 290 students of all services who graduated last quarter.

Grads in Government Capt. Richard A. Claytor, USN (Ret.) '49 is serving as Assistant Secretary of Energy for Defense Programs. Nicholas M. Torelli, Jr. '72 is serving as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Production Resources. Daniel R. Heimbach, '72 is serving as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower. LCdr. Walter S. Gray, IV, USN, '79 is a White House Fellow, assigned as a Special Assistant to the Secretary of Energy.

Lieutenant Commander Selections The following are the results of the recent FY'92 active duty promotion board, broken down by major conunissioning source. Overall promotion opportunity was 80%: Source In Zone Selected Percentage Naval Academy 337 286 84.9 NROTC Regular 189 150 79.4 NROTC Contract 47 33 70.2 OCS 376 291 77.4 Aviation Office Candidate 327 255 78 NESEP 12 *13 108.3 Other 79 66 83.5 *one below zone selection It is interesting to note that while the NROTC (Regular and Contract) commissions about 50% more officers annually than the Naval Academy, at the lieutenant commander selection point, about nine years of service, there are 43% more Academy officers in zone for selection than NROTC (i.e. 337 versus 236). As in the case of the Commander and captain Selections, this indicates a higher retention of Academy graduates than officers commissioned from other sources.

Academy Astronauts On the successful Space Shuttle DISCOVERY mission in August, 22

1991, three of the five crew members were Alumni: Capt. John O. Creighton, USN '66, Mission Commander; Cdr. Kenneth S. Reightler, Jr., USN, '73, Pilot; and Col. James F Buchl, USMC, '67, Mission Specialist. These three officers join 11 other Naval Academy graduates currently in NASA's astronaut corps. They represent more than 14% of the total number of astronauts at NASA—97. The other 11 Alumni astronauts are: Capt. David M. Walker, USN, '66, Col. Charles F Bolden, USMC, '68, Col. Robert D. Cabana, USMC, '71, Capt. Frank L. Culberson, USN, '71, Capt. David C. Leestma, USN, '71, Capt.

Defense Bills As of this writing (15 October) the House and Senate Defense Authorization Bills and the House and Senate Defense Appropriation Bills have been passed, but the House and Senate Conferences to produce the final Defense Authorization and Appropriation Bills have not been completed. The Congress voted to allow the military services to expend funds under continuing resolution authority until 29 October, maintaining an unblemished record of not enacting the Defense bills prior to the beginning of the fiscal year.

Military Command Reorganization Several major command reorganizations are currently planned or in progress in the Air Force and Navy. The Air Force Systems Command Logistics Command are being merged into the new Air Force Material Command effective in mid 1992. The Air Force Tactical Air Command and Strategic Air Command are being merged into the Air Combat Command and the Ak Force Military Aulift Command is being transformed into the Air Mobility Command. The effective date for these two commands has not been established. A new joint Air Force—Navy Strategic command is being formed to have operational control of both the Navy's fleet ballistic missile submarines and the Air Force's strategic bombers and land based inter continental ballistic missiles. The new strategic command is scheduled to be established by 1 June 1992.

Its headquarters will be at Offutt Air Force Base, Omaha, Nebraska, and its command will alternate between a Navy and Air Force officer of 4-star rank.

Unknown to each other. Sir Frank in England and Dr. Von Ohain in Germany headed teams that developed operable jet engines during the 1937 to 39 time period. Sir Frank, now 84 years old, emigrated to the U.S. in 1976 and formerly served on the faculty of the Naval Academy in the Aeronautical Engineering Department.

Naval Laboratory Reorganization With personnel reductions and base closure actions currently under way, plans have been made to increase the efficiency of Navy laboratories and research centers. Four large research centers, headed by a Flag Officer, will be established, one for each of the Navy Warfare Communities—air, surface, and undersea—and a fourth for command, control, communications and ocean surveillance. The four centers will be structured as follows: Air Warfare Center Under Naval Air Systems Command, comprised of Naval Air Test Center, Patuxent River; Naval Air Engineering Center, Lakehurst; Naval Avionics Center, Indianapolis; Pacific Missile Test Center, Pt. Mugu; Naval Weapons Center, China Lake; and the Naval Ordnance Missile Test Station, White Sands.

Surface Warfare Center Under the Naval Sea Systems Command, comprised of the Surface Weapons Centers at Dahlgren, and White Oak; the David Taylor Research Centers at Carderock and Annapolis; the Fleet Combat Direction System Support Activity, San Diego; Naval Ship Weapons Systems Engineering Station, Port Hueneme; Naval Shipmate, December 1991

Ships Systems Engineering Station, Philadelphia; Naval Weapons Support Center, Crane; Naval Ordnance Station, Indian Head; and the Coastal Systems Center, Panama City.

Undersea Warfare Center Under the Naval Sea Systems Command, comprised of the Undersea Systems Centers, Newport and New London; the Undersea Warfare Engineering Station, Keyport; and the Naval Sea Combat Systems Engineering Station, Norfolk.

Command, Communications, and Ocean Surveillance Center Under Naval Space and Warfare Systems Conunand, comprised of Naval Ocean Systems Center, San Diego; Naval Electronic Systems Engineering Centers at Portsmouth, and Charleston; and the Naval Electronic Systems Engineering Activity, St. Inigoes, Maryland.

Two other research and development activities will remain separate, the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C; and the Naval Oceanographic Atmospheric Research Laboratory, Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.

Retiree Financial Service A prototype field actively was established on 2 October 1991 under the Personnel Support Detachment at NAS Jacksonville, for the purpose of providing financial assistance to military retirees. Assistance will consist of help with allotments, direct deposit of retired pay, income tax withholding, disability payments, and the like. If the effort at Jacksonville proves successfiil, similar activities will be established at other places with a high concentration of Navy retirees.

Retired Pay—Pension or Reduced Pay? Recently the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that military retired pay is a pension and as a result extended military retirees the same reduced tax benefits accorded to others receiving pensions. Previously, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled that military retired pay is reduced in-

come for reduced services and denied military retirees the exemption from income tax extended to those on pensions. Retiree organizations have traditionally taken the position that military retired pay is reduced pay for reduced services, since military retirees are subject to recall in national emergency. It is not certain whether the pension versus reduced income issue will be referred to the Supreme Court for resolution. One would be well served to review individual state's positions before making a decision on retirement residence.

Citizenship for Filipino Sailors The Armed Forces Immigration Act of 1991, enacted in October, grants special immigration status to sailors from the Philippines and other Pacific islands who have served honorably on active duty for 12 years or who have served honorably for six years and have reenlisted for six more. Under executive orders issued by previous American Presidents Filipinos who served during World War I and II, Korea and Vietnam could become American citizens, but that privilege terminated upon issuance of an executive order in 1978 officially ending U.S. involvement in the Vietnam conflict. Now the 3,024 Filipinos and 10 sailors from Micronesia, Palau, and the Marshall Islands, who entered the Navy after 1978, will have the opportunity to obtain U.S. citizenship.

Faculty Recognition Recently the National Academy of Engineering awarded its 1991 Charles Stark Draper Prize to Su" Frank Whittle and Dr. Hans J. P Von Ohain for their invention and development of the jet engine 50 years ago. This prestigious prize, awarded every two years and sometimes referred to as the Noble Prize of engineering, carries a purse of $375,000 which will be shared by the two recipients.

A Few Inches From The Yard Midn. Daniel S. Goldenberg USN '92

The King Hall that I will always remember is one of cheering, shouting, food fights, spirit, "wild mans," and formidable upperclass. The members of the Class of '95 are likely to reminisce about a different Midshipmen Wardroom. The changes that have occurred over the last two years have evolved Fleet Admiral King's memorial into a far different site. While much has changed recently in the glorified chowhall, there are still underlying fundamentals that remain as unmoved as old J. P Jones, under the Chapel dome. King Hall is the center of Brigade Ufe for three quick meals each day, and provides a telling glimpse at any given time about the contemporary Naval Academy.

The changes that I speak of, have transpired in an attempt to make King Hall more like a "Fleet Wardroom." Many of the new habits that the Brigade has been compelled to adopt apply to the peculiarities of Plebe Year. Plebes no longer start cheers, stand on chairs or tables, perform "wildmans" (the bombing of targeted upperclass with part of the day's meal, involving absolution if the perpetrator can make it back to his or her room without being caught), "brace-up," or eat square meals. "Professionally oriented discussions" are encouraged between Plebes and upperclass, but the raising of one's voice, directed towards a 4/C is essentially forbidden. The days of "three chews and a swallow" are gone as well.

On the flip side. Miss Manners has won a moral victory. Good table etiquette (ie. passing food, not throwing it) has been stressed anew among the Brigade, no doubt in light of past reports of "Midshipman X" on cruise, coming across as being less than well versed in the manners department. It certainly can't hurt to dredge up the rules taught to everyone by their parents, which oddly seem to be forgotten during time spent at the Naval Academy after Plebe Year. Certain team tables are especially bad in this arena, and at time sact as though they are impervious to what is considered proper behavior.

One of the most memorable sights I have ever seen was the tidal wave-like approach of a ton of food, and then being engulfed by said Shipmate, December 1991

meal. Usually this momentous event, known as a "Naval Academy Food-fight," would occur during Army Week (another Academy dinosaur) or on Hundredth Night. In retrospect it was an immature, wasteful occurrence—but it was certainly fun. You can imagine my surprise when a history professor of mine retold a tale of a food-fight she had participated in, while attending her husband's Alumni dinner in King Hall. Gone are those days, the last one at the Academy occurred two years ago. Objectively speaking, this is for the best. I can remember the remarks of infuriated wardroom workers, as the bulk of the Brigade (myself included) would try to escape before the OOW would lock a clean-up detail inside. This type of thing certainly did not create a good relationship between workers and Midshipman, and service suffered accordingly. Explanations like "ain't no more water. Midshipman" were commonplace. Interestingly enough, both the quality of service and food appear to have improved since the food-fights have stopped.

Are these changes for the better? The answer is both yes and no. On the one hand King Hall seems to have lost much of its nostalgic appeal.

One Classmate remarked to me: "Why should I bring down a guest to my table—it's just another college dining hall anyway." Spirit seems to have been victimized as well, the absence of Plebes performing motivational acts and cheers is conspicuously missing. While alternate tables aren't being lifted to cheers of "GOOOO NAVY" . . .

"BEEEEAT ARMY," the dining facility is starting to resemble more of a Navy Wardroom environment. This is certainly in keeping with administration's goal of making the Academy "more like the Fleet," but something important is being lost in the shuffle.

During Plebe Year, my squad, which was the hardest in Naval Academy history (of course), had rather difficult upperclass. Never ones to deny justice from being served, my Classmate in the squad and I jumped at a chance for retribution. Our not so subtle modus operandi—the Wildman. The weapons of choice were a large bowl of cole slaw, followed by a ("Sir, you're a mess!") pitcher of water. Before 23

the targeted 2/C knew what hit them, wefledfor the promised safety of our rooms in Mother-B. Unfortunately we made one large error— leaving our caps under our seats. Never fear though, my cap was returned . . . full of cole slaw. After I was made to cover and uncover about twenty times in the passageway, in front of more belly-laughing upperclass than I cared to count, I leamed an important lesson.

Namely, "he who will not risk cannot win" (sound familiar?). Despite the embarrassment and harassment which followed, the morale boost that the wildman produced for both my Classmates and myself was well worth the consequences. The incident also gave me an opportunity to test my courage against what had been the source of my fears as a Plebe. The whole experience made me more confident and did much to raise my self esteem.

King Hall is a different place then it was just two years ago, it is a reflection on the new emphasis at the Academy on "positive leadership" and a "Fleet-like approach to training." I will not delve into the relative merits of these directives unfortunately the pedestrian atmosphere that they produce in King Hall is frequently more stifling than enjoyable.

Years ago I'm told, when Naval Academy Alumni who had distinguished themselves in war returned to visit the Yard, they were paraded around the mess hall upon the shoulders of Plebes. This has always seemed like a great idea to me, but under the new rules such conduct would not be allowed. Good manners and gentlemanly conduct are highly desirable characteristics in a naval officer (ie. ". . . punctilious courtesy"), however a balance should be struck between maintaining these traits and preserving a unique training environment.

Navy Academics Dean Robert H. Shapiro

Collegiality in Academics A couple of months ago, this column was devoted to two misunderstood issues in higher education, academic freedom and tenure. This month I will try to explain another supporting concept of higher education—collegiality, in the context of the Naval Academy, where academic education and military training coexist.

Virtually every definition of the term "collegiality" includes some reference to church organization or authority; according to my dictionary, collegiality is defined as "the relationship of colleagues; specif: parity among bishops sharing coUegial authority in the Roman Catholic Church." Because the university as an educational entity was originated and developed to train the clergy, little wonder that collegiality as a principle became associated with the organization and administration of higher learning.

Indeed, many of the organizational principles and much of the familiar nomenclature derive from those early linkages among religion and education. The earliest American colleges (Harvard and William and Mary, for example) began as schools to prepare church leaders, and later denominational universities as Wake Forest and Notre Dame were established to foster religious education. Even my titles as Dean (or Deacon) and Provost were both originally terms for church officers. The academic mace, the caps and gowns evident at graduation all barken back to that era of education as well.

The colleagues who administered and taught in these schools were in effect answering a call to a purpose higher than individual ambition— they saw themselves as equal partners in a spiritual enterprise. Thus the notion of shared responsibility and selfless equality was key to the relationship among the church educators and authorities who founded the programs of higher education we inherited as a legacy.

Today, at the Naval Academy and elsewhere in academe, collegiality still denotes that special "parity" whereby the faculty works as coequals to support the educational mission of the institution. In the particular case of the Naval Academy, collegiality takes on some unique di24

mensions; not only does the term include the working relationship among the faculty, but it relates as well to the military staff and their respective roles in the education and training of Midshipmen. In theory and practice, this mutual sharing of authority strengthens the program as it advances the mission. But nothing works perfectly; disparities between theory and practice always exist. So it is with the concept of collegiality here at the Academy; we need to work together toward realizing the value of interdependence not just between the teaching faculty and the military staff, but within the faculty itself.

Perhaps if we can agree upon what constitute impediments to collegiality, we can then better focus our efforts to overcome those obstacles.

Several schools of thought exist as to what diminishes collegiality here at the Academy: some would argue that in a military institution, hierarchy is paramount (if that's not redundant), and collegiality is a concept more nice than necessary. Some others may feel "outranked" both literally andfiguratively;as civilians, they may perceive themselves as junior partners in a system more military than educational. No doubt some officers hold to the former view, just as some civilian professors contend the latter. The ongoing competition for the Midshipmen's time and attention need not be a wrangle over their hearts and minds. A student who caimot meet the intellectual challenge of the academic curriculum scarcely seems a worthy addition to the corps of military professionals we call the Alumni, conversely, the academic genius who cannot appreciate the principles of military leadership or relate to other people would not fare well in the world, much less the Navy. To ensure a balanced perspective among our graduates then, we first need a balanced perspective among our faculty and staff.

Recognizing this, we can sustain the distinctly different but mutually reinforcing agendas of the academic program and Bancroft Hall, respectively.

Another view of collegiality concerns the faculty itself. If we cannot find common cause

in worrying about infringements from Bancroft, what keeps us headed in different directions, and more important, how can we improve collegiality among the faculty at large?

One answer lies in my preceding phrasing— the faculty is ultimately "at large," bound by individual commitment to the mission rather than by specific differences in subject matters or organizational subunits.

One potential impediment seems almost paradoxical: some would have it that we are prevented from being more mutually supportive, because we think of ourselves as self-sufficient.

In short, we are so "rich" in our sense of self that we don't fully apprehend the importance of interdependence. For example, we may be so dedicated to the specific curriculum we espouse that we may not appreciate the contributions to oiu program by other academic disciplines and curricula. We thus miss an opportunity for a more collegial relationship with diverse peers, and we may inadvertently shortchange the Midshipmen, the very clients we seek to serve. By analogy, we can become so engrossed in polishing the fine leathers on the elegant saddle we are preparing for our students that we overlook the need for stirrups; or worse, we forget that the student doesn't have (or need) a horse! We have our noses so close to our own workbenches that we can't see the rest of the shop.

Maybe we need to go back to the original concept of college as a professional school. No, not for the clergy, but for a professional education that subsumes particular specialties because that education includes both engineering and the schools of letters and sciences. But that education should be recognizably geared to an undergraduate preparation for the onset of a career as a military professional. We should apply our best efforts to producing military officers who are truly educated, and let the graduate schools produce the professionals in the professions per se.

Perhaps in trying so hard to focus the intellects of our best and brightest, we are fragmenting oiu-selves. We can too easily lose sight of Shipmate, December 1991

the basic interlocking nature of true education.

We need to regain that sense of interdependence, that mutual, shared commitment to an overriding philosophy of educational excellence that is inclusive in the best sense, not exclusive in the worst sense.

When we reset our sights thusly, colleagues in one Department of Division will better appreciate the need for their colleagues in another, and vice versa. Collegiality would more truly benefit those who are, after all, the most important group outside of this "parity"—the Midshipmen whose careers we help shape and whose lives we influence. That influence may not extend to the life of the spirit, but teaching the young is among the highest of callings, and we should honor those others who have also answered that call as much as we honor the calling itself.

Having said (or written) all that, I would be remiss if I did not remind the reader of where I began. The Naval Academy faculty does constitute a group of colleagues, wherein collegiality is alive and well. My contemplations above merely reflect the assumptions we all share—that the best could be better, that ideals pursued with vigilance and vigor can improve upon even the best. Because collegiality is based upon parity, no one can randomly or even benignly impose the condition—it can be sought only with mutual coojieration. And, of course, even that is perfectly, symmetrically appropriate.

Bowling Green 22, Navy 19 Bowling Green capitalized on its big plays and went on to hand Navy a 22-19 loss, the Midshipmen's fourth straight this year. The Mids had their best offensive output of the season, netting 382 yards, including 217 in the air.

"We didn't stop Bowling Green's ball control passing game," lamented head coach George Chaump. "We just let them out of the hole too many times. We had chances to put the game away but we didn't."

Again, Navy was on the scoreboard first when B. J. Mason scored on a 30-yard reverse that capped off a 70-yard scoring drive on the game's opening possession. And another tally, a four-yard run by Youngster Billy James, had the Midshipmen up 13-0 in the second period.

That score ended a long drive too, this one for 80 yards.

Then came the first opportunity for Navy to dictate the game. First Class defensive back Chris Cordero intercepted a pass at midfield and remrned it to the Falcon 26. But two plays Youngster quarterback Jason Van Matre fumbled the ball away.

Later in the second period, a Van Matre pass was intercepted and Bowhng Green turned this into a touchdown drive.

The Falcons next went 89 yards on 14 plays late in the quarter to take a 14-13 halftime lead, completing seven passes in the drive.

Navy jumped back in front in the third quarter when Van Matre faked a handoff to Mason on a reverse and completed a 37-yard scoring pass to a wide open flanker Tom Pritchard. On the third play of the fourth quarter. Van Matre again found Pritchard, a Plebe, this time for a 63-yard gain but he was stripped of the ball at the Bowling Green four. Had the Midshipman scored then they conceivably could have controlled the game.

The Falcons scored the game-winning touchdown on a 33-yard pass from Erik White to Ronnie Redd.

Van Matre completed 12 of 18 passes in the game for 190 yards and one touchdown while throwing one interception. Pritchard had six receptions for 151 yards and a touchdown. He was selected to the Eastern College Athletic Conference All-East weekly honor roll.

Second Classman Mark Ellis, an outside linebacker, was the ECAC Division I-A Defensive Player of the Week for his 14 tackles (12 unassisted), one pass broken up and one caused fumble.

Jim Kubiak at quarterback in an effort to attack Air Force with a passing offense but after holding the heavily-favored Falcons to a 7-6 advantage, the Midshipmen saw things come apart in the third period and eventually lost, 46-6.

"It was like two games out there today," said Chaump afterwards. "We just fell apart at the seams in the second half and gave them all kinds of opportunities. You can't do that to a good football team like Air Force.

"If you want to be positive, we did some good things in the first half and I think we can Tailback Vinnie Smith, a Second Classman, rushed for 87 yards and 17 carries and caught three passes against Templeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Photo by Phil Hoffmann

build on them," he indicated.

He discussed openly the decision to start Kubiak. "The staff did an evaluation and Kubiak came out as the man to do the things we wanted to against Air Force's defense. He has a very good arm and throws a good pass. It was a gamble."

For the first half, the gamble worked. The Midshipmen played excellent defense while letting some opportunities slip by on offense.

Still, Air Force led at halftime by only a 7-6 margin and had been held to 126 total yards.

The third quarter proved to be the Mids undoing. Air Force busted loose for 18 points while Navy was saddled with poor field position. The first Falcon points came after Kubiak was sacked and fumbled on the Navy 21, Air Force scoring moments later.

Then followed a short punt of 16 yards to the Navy 45 and Air Force netted a 27-yard field goal. Two plays later Kubiak was intercepted.

Although Navy held at the one-yard line following this turnover, the Falcons scored on their next possession, a drive of 33 yards.

Two more interceptions contributed to Air Force's 21 points in the final quarter.

The win was the 10th straight by the Falcons over Navy, the longest winning streak of any Service Academy over the Midshipmen. Air Force ended up with 388 yards on the ground, 171 of that coming in the final period.

Second Class outside linebacker Mark Ellis was named to the Eastern College Athletic Conference Division I-A All-East weekly honor roll for his six tackles against Air Force, three of them unassisted, two caused fumbles and two tackles for losses of seven yards.

Temple 21, Navy 14 Navy suffered its sixth straight loss of the 1991 season when it fell to Temple, 21-14, at Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium. The Midshipmen for the sixth time this year scored first and led 14-7 at halftime.

"We stopped ourselves," said Navy coach George Chaump, in reference to a fumble at the Temple 18 and a blocked field goal, both in the third period.

As has been the situation most of this year, the Midshipmen started strong, driving 84 yards in 11 plays with Second Class tailback Duke Ingraham taking a pitchout in from the two. Youngster Jason Van Matre was at quarterback and he had runs of 13, 12 and 20 yards during the march while Second Classman Vinnie Smith, getting his first start ever at Navy, added a 17-yard run.

After the Owls stopped Navy on the Temple 27 in the second period, the hosts tied the game Shipmate, December 1991

at 7 apiece with two minutes remaining in the quarter.

But Van Matre adroitly took the Midshipmen on a nifty drive of 65 yards. The key play was a 42-yard run by First Class flanker B. J. Mason on a reverse that carried to the Temple 23. On the next play Van Matre passed for 16 yards to Smith and two plays later tossed a fouryarder to tight end Tony Gilless for a touchdown.

The Midshipmen were on the verge of taking over the game in the third period by moving themselves from their own 26 to the Owl 18.

But Van Matre running wide left fumbled and Temple recovered.

Navy had another chance when it moved to the Temple 29 moments later, but a 46-yard field goal attempt by Plebe Tim Rogers was blocked.

From there Temple went on a 68-yard drive that tied the game again and the Owls had the winning touchdown in the fourth period on a 35-yard drive.

Smith rushed for a Navy season-high of 87 yards on 17 carries while Van Matre had 75 yards rushing on 15 carries. Smith also caught three passes for 32 yards. He now has a 5.2 percarry average, best among the running backs after six games.

Defensive back Mark McGinnis, now starting at free safety, earned ECAC All-East honor roll recognition for his nine tackles, eight unassisted, and one pass broken up.

Navy's 0-6 start marks thefirsttime the Midshipmen have started with this many losses since 1948 when it went 0-8-1.

A host of Plebes continue to take on significant roles for the Midshipmen. WR Tom Pritchard leads the team in pass receptions with 19 catches for 337 yards (17.7 average) and one touchdown after six games. QB Jim Kubiak has seen action in the past two games, starting the Air Force game and seeing time against Shipmate, Decemlier 1991

Temple this past Saturday. He has completed 11 of 31 passes for 88 yards while throwing five interceptions. Others include Tim Rogers who has handled the placekicking duties in the first six games and has 14 points to date (eight extra points and twofieldgoals); DB Chris Hart who started at comerback against Air Force and had an interception, thefirstby the Falcons this year in six games; WR Mike Jefferson who had a catch for six yards against Air Force; long snapper Brad Soper; and TE Kevin Hickman, who has played extensively the past two games.

In addition, the Midshipmen regularly start three Youngsters on offense, QB Jason Van Matre, FB Brad Stramanak and OTMax Lane with another Youngster, TB Billy James, seeing extensive action at tailback. The defense is just as youthful. Regular Youngster starters include LB David Shaw and MG Dan Pidgeon.

Another Younster, Javier Zuluaga sees extensive time at linebacker and did have a start earlier this year.

Men's and Women's Cross Country Teams Defeat Army Navy's men's and women's cross country teams ran to victories over Army recently, the men winning by a score of 20-41 and the women taking a 23-36 triumph.

The men's victory gave that squad a 7-2 final season record and was the fourth straight win over the Cadets and the 17th time in the last 18 meetings that Navy has been victorious over Army.

Navy placed in nine of the top 12 spots in the race at West Point with Second Classman Greg Keller, this year's team captain, winning with a 25:57 clocking. Army's Jason Stewart was second but the Midshipmen filled the next three places—Youngster Bruce Frame in third. First Classman Ramon Marin in fourth and second Classman Luis Molina in fifth. Second Classman Todd Washburn was seventh.

The Mids lost their final home dual meet a week earlier by a 19-44 score to powerful Georgetown.

The women end the year with a 4-2 record after the win at Army. In that race. Second Classman Kerry O'Neill finished first with a time of 19:16. First Classman Susie Stewart was third while Youngster Michelle Montgomery was fifth and Plebe Nancy Olson was sixth.

The Midshipmen have now won four consecutive meets from the Cadets and have a 4-2 lead in the series between the two.

lost to Wake Forest and Appalachian State before taking ninth place in the 36-team Paul Short Invitational at Lehigh University. O'Neill was 21st in that field.

Lightweight Football (2-0 overall, 1-0 in Eastem League: The lightweight team, under firstyear coach Capt. Gene Boley, USMC, opened the year with a 33-0 non-league triumph over Princeton and then nipped the University of Pennsylvania, 15-14, in the Eastern Lightweight Football League opener.

The shutout against Princeton was the team's first since 1988.

In the game with Penn, Navy had to come from behind for the victory. Youngster quarterback Matt Kirby hit First Classman Tom Daily with a 16-yard scoring pass on a fourth down play with 1:27 to go to make the score, 14-13, Penn. Kirby then passed for a two point conversion to Second Classman Todd Rampey.

Daily was selected the ELFL Offensive Player of the Week for his eight catches for 108 yards and one TD in the Penn game. Rampey had 18 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown while Kirby connected on 12 of 22 pass attempts for 140 yards and one touchdown.

Soccer (10-4, 4-1 Patriot League): The Midshipmen were heading into their annual engagement with Army riding a three-game win string.

In recent weeks. Navy defeated Liberty (4-2); lost to North Carolina-Charlotte (2-1) and North Carolina-Greensboro (3-1) in the Mitre Classic; upended Holy Cross (3-0), lost to West Virginia (2-0); stopped Fordham (2-0), West Chester (4-2) and Colgate (3-1).

Plebe Seth Walters had a goal and registered his eighth assist of the season against Colgate—the eight assists ties a school record.

Shipmate, December 1991

Aimual Report, FY 1991 Executive Director's Report Staff organization changes were implemented on 1 July 1991. The Campaign staff has been augmented by assigning Mrs. Joan Mack full-time to Campaign research and administration of Parents Phonathon and Parents Clubs. The Planned Giving and Annual Fund staff was augmented by a new employee, Mrs. Pat Linthicum, who had worked in that area previously, thus rounding out changes made from there to other Cost Centers. Our Hostess, Mrs. Nancy Gorum, has been assigned additional computer development responsibilities to assure compatibility between our new PC's and the mini-computer. The coming years will see a number of advances, not only in desktop publishing, but also in using state-of-the-art techniques in communicating with Class Corresponding Secretaries and permitting easier updating of the master data base.

We have now retired all Letters of Credit and Alumni Hall has been paid for. Remaining is re-payment of loans made internally from our own assets. As pledges are completed, we should see those loans paid over the next few years.

Mr. Ken Tarr was offered a new job with Credit Suisse and has left Bessemer. He has been relieved by Mrs. Tony Edgar, who was with us during our meeting.

Mr. Jim Boon, President of ACl, our Insurance Administrator, was with us to brief us on our program.

The Secretary of the Navy has responded affirmatively to the Superintendent's letter asking for his blessing on continuation of the Campaign for the Naval Academy. Upon receipt of the "needs list" from the Superintendent, we will begin the next phase of the Campaign.

Cdr. Tuzo has signed up the first participant in the "Pooled Income Fund."

Transition assistance for those Alumni leaving active duty continues to increase.

Over 60 interviews have been given since December 1990. We are beginning our Shipmate articles starting with the October issue and will ask various Alumni in the Executive Search business to contribute to articles designed to provide assistance in this important evolution. We are continuing our discussions with the other Service Academies on this subject, looking for ways to improve our current methods.

The President and 1 have responded affirmatively to the Vinson Hall Foundaton request to pledge $15,000 over three years toward the Admiral Arleigh Burke Pavilion.

1 regret to inform you of the death of our longest standing Honorary Member, Mr. E. E. "Rip" Miller on 1 October 1991.

Records/Membership As of 30 August 1991, our membership total was 31,901 Shipmate, December 1991

(19,560 being Life Members) which is an increase of 826 from last year. On 9 July 1991 we had 100% participation in the Life Membership at Graduation Program for the Class of 1995.

In early 1992, sometime during the "Dark Ages," we will be inviting the Class of 1992 to Alumni House to welcome them on board as Life Members.

Some of you have received the Alumni Data Sheet which we mailed to all five-year Reunion Classes in an effort to update our professional file in our data base. Also we asked them to help us locate some of our unknowns. The response has been tremendous.

We will do this each year.

The following individuals nominated for Associate Membership at the Spring 1991 meeting have joined: LCdr. James J. MacNew CHC, USN, Mrs. Dorothy C. Brouse, Mrs. Barbara J. Davis, Lt. Ann Moody USN, Prof.

Richard A. Evans and LCdr. George McCaffrey USN. EDP We have added two Macintosh personal computers to our assets and consequently we are now able to do more design and layout work in-house.

Merchandise We have decided to forego any special direct mail promotion this Fall.

Two items were considered; a grandfather clock and a world globe in a stand, however, we felt the prices were too expensive for these economic times.

Annual Fund The fiscal year 1991 Annual Fund Drive, which ended on 30 June 1991, was quite successful, particularly considering the fact that the recession had reduced the amount of disposable income for a number of our Alumni and friends. Final totals were: Unrestricted Restricted TOTAL

$1,240,144 1,173,980 $2,414,124

Several major planned gifts which matured are included in the above totals. Parents gifts are not included.

Parent's Fund The phone campaign to parents which sought pledges of support over a period of four years, was an unqualified success. Pledges approached $1.6 million. Total dollars received as initial payments on pledges were $320,793.

The figures above do not include gifts to the Capital Campaign. They will be discussed later in this report.

Planned Gifts The planned giving program continues to reap significant results. As noted before, these gifts are not received immediately but are definitely worth waiting for.

Planned gifts received during FY'91 included $161,531 from Josephine Wenzel: $178,183 from the estate of Robert D. Huntington '23; $100,000 from the estate of

Wayne R. Loud '27; a $10,000 bequest from John Shannon '24; and $313,365 from the estate of Virginia Stout, widow of Richard F. Stout '24.

Subsequent to approval by the Board of Trustees in May, we initiated procedures to establish a Pooled Income Fund similar to a mutual fund, the Pooled Income Fund pays the donor(s) income for life. The principal is received by the Alumni Association subsequent to the death of the donor(s). We received our first gift to the fund almost immediately from Bob McWethy '42. More information on this program will be provided at the meeting of the Board.

Shipmate has printed four issues since the last meeting and the November issue was available for the meeting. The print count is 35,400. That allows for the unknowns on a factor of one third. As of 30 September unknowns totaled 1,170 with the lion's share being among the Classes graduated in the past ten years. With the exceptions of '86, '90 and '91 the Classes from '82 on have ten percent of their Life Members carried as unknown because of a lack of a current address and therefore are not getting Shipmate. Four of those Classes have more than 100 unknowns. It is hoped that our on going data update program will help this problem.

The four issues since the last meeting have averaged 116 pages. The issues consisted of a 96-, 112-, 120- and 128-pager. The source of manuscripts remains strong albeit, the Editor fell considerably behind in his reviewing of them during the period without an Assistant Editor. Such reviewing is back underway and the Editor handles about ten manuscipts a week from the backlog. He expects to be caught up before the end of the year. As it is, the feature articles are solidly scheduled through June 1992 with some scheduled as far off as December 1992.

In June, Cdr. David E. Church, USN (Ret.) '67 became the Assistant Editor replacing John Coleman JOC USN (Ret.), who retired in February. He was able to move right to work and pick up the work without hesitation.

He is a valuable addition to the staff Dave is President of '67, was a punter on the football team as a Midshipman and spent a career as a Naval Aviator. He lives in Annapolis.

A meeting of all Class Secretaries was scheduled at Alumni House on Wednesday, 6 November 1991. This is a continuation of the program which has been implemented over the years to gather the Secretaries to brief them and exchange ideas and innovations. A survey of the locations of the Secretaries indicated that many of those from the more recent Classes are not living near the Washington/ Annapolis megapolis and can not be counted on to attend. Rather than have them depend on 29

the "hearsay" relating of events and information from a Class representative, we videotaped the meeting and provided it "to all the ships at sea." One of the features of the meeting was to introduce the entire staff to both the live and TV audience. That should help the Secretaries relate a face to a name on a letter or a voice on the telephone. All the Secretaries had the opportunity to meet Dave Church. Likewise, we got to meet many of the Secretaries who have succeeded to office since the last meeting The 1992 Register was closed out for record purposes as of Monday, 30 September 1991. The tape was delivered to ATLIS Publishing Services, Inc. the following day.

ATLIS is the new subcontractor for the printer of the Register, The John D. Lucas Printing Company of Baltimore. ATLIS does the data manipulation and electronically produces camera-ready pages for Lucas Printing Company in the size and the format required.

To ensure availability when required, the paper for printing the Register was ordered during the Summer. It is on hand at the printer. The size of the volume each year varies with addition of a Class and the amount of advertising. Thus, an adjustment upward or downward of the target quantity of 2,100 is made. The 1992 Register was mailed Monday, 2 December 1991 for advance orders and was

available for sale at Alumni House then.

Capital Campaign Status After deducting the cost of fund raising (approximately ten cents for every dollar raised), we are approximately $500,000 short of reaching our Alumni Hall goal of $17 million. We will place greater emphasis on the other facets of our Campaign as we reach our $17 million goal.

The new Professional Development/Sailing Endowment brochure will help considerably in that area while the Parents Phonathon for the Classes of 1992-1995 will play a significant role in reaching our $1 million ECS Endowment goal.

Game Plan For The Future Receipt of SecNav "green light" letter and scrubbed, defendable Naval Academy Needs Letter from Superintendent, will "trigger" the next phase of our Campaign for the Naval Academy.

The Development Committee is in place and ready to assist us in our future major gifts effort. We have added Mr. Robert T. Guard, President and General Manager of McCabe, Hamilton & Renny, Co., Ltd., a stevedoring company in Honolulu. He has been our stalwart representative in Hawaii during this Campaign and a major contributor in his own right.

The Honor Chair Recognition Program will fulfill two major needsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;providing a meaningful, permanent recognition program for our

Alumni and others and ensuring a steady cash flow to the Campaign.

The Bob Hope Performing Arts Center: We are continuing with a strong effort to obtain additional contributions from the Bob Hope Honorary Tribute Committee members and other friends of Bob Hope.

The Internal Campaign office research, contribution proposals and follow-up continue to play a significant role in our ongoing major gift effort.

Major Donor Recognition Program The 4-5 October gala weekend formally launched our new major donor recognition effort. Individuals who are members of a donor society (George Bancroft Fellow: $500K and above; Franklin Buchanan Society: $100K-$500K; Trident Society: $50-$100K; Blue and Gold Society: $10K-$50K) received special recognition in the form of Alumni Association emblematics, invitations to the Army-Navy game, a Navy home football game, formal dress parade, etc. depending upon the major donor society of which they are a member.

We want each of our major donors to feel an important and ongoing part of the Alumni Association's and the Naval Academy's efforts to maintain a program of excellence at this very important alma mater of ours.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of (his statement.

An Ocean Away to "get the ball rolling" will be significant, particularly on a busy waterfront facing many competing demands on personnel training time. The CNO has stressed that the program is not a "quickfix"but will "affect every aspect of naval operations in the future."

Ultimately, for TQL to succeed, it will require deckplate implementation that combines proven industrial-management ideas with Fleet training and warfighting concepts. Much of that synthesis will be undertaken by Fleet sailors as TQL arrives at the quarterdeck of their ships, submarines, and squadrons. That process of synthesis is the real challenge of TQL, and it will not be done by civilian consultantsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it must be done by enthusiastic and engaged sailors. In an era of dwindling resources, Adm. Kelso concludes, "We must make every hour of training, every dollar we invest, count."

Navy Sports for October 21, leads the Midshipmen in scoring with 16 points.

Goalie Doug Williams, a Plebe, had now registered three shutouts this season.

Water Polo (16-5): The Mids also have a victory over Army in this sport, having downed the Cadets, 10-4, and First Classman Luis Nicolao has set a school record for career points.

Navy now has gone 9-0 against Army in water polo since the series was inaugurated in 1983.

66

In the Eastern Invitational Round 2, the Midshipmen raced by Villanova, Bucknell and Massachusetts before being upended by Slippery Rock, 7-5. In the Mid-Atlantic Tournament at West Point, Navy topped Villanova, Fordham and Queens but Slippery Rock again edged Navy, 8-7.

Nicolao had four goals and three assists in the 20-4 win over Villanova and now has 345 points, breaking the old record of 337 by Tom Popp (1984-88). He was the leading scorer in last year's NCAA tournament with 11 goals in three games.

Women's Volleyball (10-11 overall, 4-1 Patriot League): After a slow start on the season, the Midshipmen showed some improvement, winning four of their last seven outings.

In the LaSalle Invitational, Navy was third with wins over Fairleigh Dickinson and St. Peter's before falling to tourney champion, Villanova and LaSalle. First Classman Laura Hatcher was named Patriot League Player of the Week for her showing in the tournament and she and Stephanie Dixon, another First Classman, were selected to the all-tournament.

After losing to Maryland-Baltimore County, Navy recorded consecutive Patriot League triumphs over Lafayette and Lehigh, defeating each in straight sets. Dixon was given Patriot League Player of the Week honors for her 30 kills in the two games, including 16 against the Engineers.

She leads Navy with a 3.57 kill average and is third in hitting percentage at .304. Hatcher

leads the Patriot League with her block average of 2.07.

Send news directly to Shipmate The Class is sadly notified of the death of Grace Zaring Stone, the widow of Captain Ellis Spencer Stone, USN (Ret.). She was 100 years old and a resident of Stonington, Conn.

Grace was a well-known novelist who wrote under the psuedonym Ethel Vance. Three of her novels were made into movies starring major actors. They were The Bitter Tea of General Yen, with Barbara Stanwyck; Escape, with Robert Taylor; and Winter Meeting, with Bette Davis. The Bitter Tea of General Yen was thefirstmovie ever shown at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

It was during Capt. Stone's command of gunboat ISABEL on the Yangtze River in China during their civil war that Mrs. Stone obtained the background for The Bitter Tea of General Yen, published in 1932 and which was a best-seller.

When Escape, an anti-Nazi novel of suspense was published in 1939, she used the name Ethel Vance to protect her daughter, then living in occupied Czechoslovakia, and because her husband was the naval attache at the American Embassy in Paris.

Mrs. Stone's writing career began with an account in The Atlantic Monthly of a hurricane striking islands where her husband was stationed. She then wrote 12 novels from 1922 to 1951.

The daughter of Charles and Grace Zarin, bom in New York and raised in New Zealand, Australia, southeast Asia, and England, she returned to New York at the start of WW I. She married Ellis in 1917.

After his death in 1956 she resided in New England.

Survivors include her daughter, author Eleanor Perenyi of Stonington; a granddaughter; and a great grandchild.

Pres., RAdm. George Bauemschmidt SC USN (Ret.) Sec'y, RAdm. Harvey T. Walsh USN (Ret.) 6251 Old Dominion Dr., #253 McLean, Va. 22101 The Alumni Association informed me that Mrs. H. E. (Peg) Parker died on 21 November 1990. Peg was the widow of our RAdm. Harold E. Parker, USN (Ret.) who died while attending the Navy/Michigan football game in Ann Arbor in October 1958. The information was obtained from the return of a D.C. Chapter's mailing marked "Deceased." The date was apparently determined from a Memorial Donation in her name to the Alumni Associaton. No other details are known.

Peg is survived by a son, Thomas R. Parker, of unknown address and a daughter, Mrs. Patricia R Jones, wife of Lt. USNR (Ret.) Robert Stewart Jones '48, of Billings, Montana and six grandchildren. Our deepest sympathies are extended to her survivors.

One more appeal to surviving Classmates and their wives or widows and children. Please inform Alumni Association or me of the death of any of our Classmates, wives or widows with sufficient information for at least a Last Call or, in the case of Classmates, a formal obituary.

Sec'y, Capt. J. M. Kennaday USN (Ret.) RO. Box 53, Castine, Maine 04421 W Coast, RAdm. William B. Bailey USN (Ret.) 725 Adella Ave., Coronado, Calif. 92118 From our West Coast Reporter, Bill Bailey, comes the following: "1 am writing this on behalf of my

sister-in-law. Norma Gardner, and am the bearer of sad news, as her husband Frank Gardner passed away on 1 September He had been in a convalescent hospital for three weeks. Frank and 1 had worked on an obituary which is in Last Call. Apart from being a fine officer he was a wonderful human being, kind, and in every sense a gentleman. He will be missed."

Signed: Audrey L. Young.

Attached were a few lines from his widow. Norma, who adds: "I am desolate as you may well know, but 1 realize Frank is now free from all suffering and 1 must take up my life as he would want me to do.

Thank you for sending the enclosed to Shipmate and give all my dearest Love."

From the Class of '24 we extend our deepest sympathy to his widow, Norma, and his many loved ones.

From Bob Sutliff comes the following: I have tried from time to time, to keep the readers of Shipmate up to date on Class finances. However, I do not remember whether or not the following information ever appeared there. 1 doubt it. 1 did circulate an annual financial report to the officers and directors for their information (except for last year). Most of our bank account was dissolved in the following manner: A terminal contribution to the Twenty Fourth Company Wardroom of $500.00â&#x20AC;&#x201D;A contribution of $12,000.00 to the Facilities Fundâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;A contribution of $500.00 to the Naval Instimte.

Since Rollo's death, I have been the only authorized signer of checks on the Class account. 1 have corrected this situation by authorizing Mike Bradley to sign checks in his place and to insure that someone will be responsible for the closing out of the account when it is appropriate. The last bank statement shows $1,368.41 in the account available for Class expenses. My point of view is to pay bills with Class funds as long as they last and then probably with personal funds. We have very little call for expenditures by the Class. 1 do not learn of deaths of Classmates in time to furnish flowers and maybe not in reasonable time to contribute to the Alumni Foundation "in memory of." When 1 do in lieu of flowers for a funeral, they acknowledge the contribution to the next of kin and send me a copy. I have no further ideas since my last letter to you regarding the status of the Class without a leader. Thankfully, Jack, you are still at it. Jack Martin and Mike Bradley both seem to be doing quite well and will out last me. However, 1 am not turning in my suit yet.

Monty Montgomery is still good natured and will have a story to tell unless you stop him. He doesn't. repeat very often either.

October 10 as 1 write this column marks the date when the U.S. Naval Academy was founded back in 1845. The physical plant of the Academy has greatly increased since then. As you know in particular the old REINA MERCEDES has been returned to Spain so that she is no longer a trophy of war or a place for incarcerating "Bad Boys." The cutter "sheds" are no more so there is no more "hoistaway" and "walk back handsomely" and racing out to the lighthouse and back, but there is plenty of rowing still and sailing too, so that the Naval Academy is represented in the Shipmate, December 1991

Bermuda Race and many others.

"Four years together by the bayAVhere Severn joins the tide. Then by the Service called way We're scattered far and wide; But still when two or three shall meet. And old tales be retold. From low to highest in the fleet/We'll pledge the Blue and Gold." 'Tis that season once again to wish A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to all surviving widows.

Classmates and Shipmate Staff including the helpfill Editorial Assistant, Cordelia Richards. A REMINDER. We need to hear from our faithful contributors if we succeed in keeping the '24 Column alive.

Pres., RAdm. Walter C. Ford USN (Ret.) Sec'y, RAdm. Joseph H. Nevins, Jr. USN (Ret.) 3204 River Crescent D r , Annapolis, Md. 21401 Unfortunately we have to report at this time, the death from cancer of Chan and "Henry" Ford's daughter, Jeanne Ford Tandy McGlasson on 26 September 1991 at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland after a brief illness. Jeanne was born in Buffalo, New York. She graduated from the American University and attended the University of London. During her youth, she was a founder of the Junior Army-Navy Guild which volunteered at the former Naval Academy Hospital. She had been married to Lt. Edward Tandy USN who was killed in an airplane crash in 1956 and to Capt. Daniel McGlasson USN (Ret.). Survivors include her parents, two daughters, two sons, and a sister Condolences of the Class have been extended to Henry and Chan.

On 10 October 1991 Judy Nevins LeHardy and her husband. Ward, West Point '56, retired Brigadier General, U.S. Army, got underway from Annapolis in their Corbin 39 ft. sail and auxiliary yacht. CORMORANT, to begin their long platmed four-year circumnavigation of the World. During their three years of planning they have carefully and well prepared themselves and CORMORANT for their ambitious undertaking. They have become proficient in celestial navigation and are certified as novice ham radio operators. In their itinerary they include a visit to Iron Bottom Bay in the Guadalcanal area of the Pacific where Ward's father and erstwhile USNA '25, Lieutenant Commander Louis Marcel LeHardy USN, '26 was killed in action in the cruiser SAN FRANCISCO during the Battle of Savo Island in November, 1942.

They will be joined on board CORMORANT during their voyage by family members and friends for varying periods of time. Good wishes follow them for fair winds and following seas.

Correction: the word "telegraph," four lines from the bottom of the '25 Class notes in October's issue of Shipmate, should be "telescopic."

Let us recall the happy days as midshipmen when we were preparing to enjoy Christmas Leave at home. Merry Christmas!

Pres., RAdm. Kenneth Craig USN (Ret.) Corr Sec'y, RAdm. J. W. Callahan USN (Ret.) 1138 Glorietta Blvd., Coronado, Calif 92118 (619) 435-5990 A letter from Al Boileau: As I state, we are both grounded at present. Three years ago when I went to the FAA medical examiner for my license renewal. I had answered the question about medicines by stating I took lanoxin or digoxin for a heart irregularity. The FAA asked that I send them the results of an EKG, a treadmill test, a 24Shipmate, December 1991

hour record of my heart action as recorded by a Holter monitor Several months after sending all of that to them I was granted a waiver After two years of flying it became necessary to have another flight physical—the other one expired at the end of two years. I am now going through the same thing again.

My last test or exam was this past week by the opthomologist because I now wear contact lenses. I expect to hear in a month or two. Laura is also grounded. Last year as we turned to land at Pine Bluff. Ark. we were told that another airplane was "in the pattern." We should have aborted the landing and followed in behind that plane. But we didn't: and suddenly Laura saw the nose wheel of the other plane about a foot in front of the windshield a couple of feet above the engine cowling. She said "Oh, My God!" and pushed the yolk forward and made the lousiest landing I have ever experienced. We were in the wrong. When told of the other plane we should have aborted, climbed to pattern altitude, and come in behind the other plane. But, because we were in the wrong, Laura, as pilot, has to take a check ride.

So we went by commercial air When we went to Sun Travel to arrange for our tickets we bought coupons, each good for two round trips. So our first "round trip" was in Delta Air Lines from San Diego to Richmond, Va. There we rented an Oldsmobile Cutlas Ciera and drove it for the rest of our trip, ending in Grand Rapids where we turned in the car and boarded Delta for the flight to San Diego.

In Richmond we visited my brother and his wife.

The next morning, we went to Seaford, Del., to visit Laura's nephew and wife. Then the following day, to Harrisburg to visit Laura's youngest brother, then to Bloomsburg to visit friends for an overnight stay.

The following day we left for Elmira, N.Y, for a several day stay at Howard Johnson Inn in Horseheads, an Elmira suburb. While there we visited my various nieces and nephews in and around Elmira, and my old "old Friends" in Addison and Bath, the two towns where I grew up.

We had very good weather throughout our trip.

And the travelling was easy, not crowded interstate highways or other roads. When we left Elmira for Traverse City, Mich, we went (o Buffalo (visited my niece there for an hour) and then went through Canada via the Peace Bridge, drove to Port Huron, Mich. That was a bit different, mainly because of money—I didn't want to end up with a lot of Canadian money in my pocket when we got back to the U.S. We worked it out. The scenery, especially when we drove South from Traverse City to Grand Rapids.was delightful.

Al Boileau and his family Irma and I visited with Dick Waldon in Baltimore just before he left for New Hampshire and his Summer residence. He is still mobile but operates in a lower gear. He originally moved from Baltimore to Holdemess, N.H., because he was tired of contributing to the "needy" element in Baltimore, now he is back in Baltimore because he is too old to cope with Winter in Holdemess.

Excerpts from a letter from Patrick Stroop '69 to P. D. Stroop: Thought I'd drop you a line lo let you know how things are going in the sunny Arabian Gulf.

I've had an interesting month since I last wrote (still would rather be in Annapolis!). We left Saudi and went to Kuwait for the opening of the second sea port after the multi-national forces had completed minesweeping. It was only a two day visit, and there

was no liberty because it is still very dangerous if you get off the paved roads, but I was tasked with accompanying the Admiral on a one day tour of the countryside. It was impressive to say the least. We left the flagship and drove to Kuwait Intemational Airport wher we were briefed by the Commander of the Kuwaiti Air Force and two of his top officers. Of the three of them, two had been POW's and one fought the Iraqis through the underground resistance force from August thru Febraary. The brief gave an overview of where the Air Force was as far as getting back on its feet and what the timetable would be for getting completely well. Then we got into a helo and took about an hour and a half flight around the country to see the Naval Base, the Oil Terminal Island where Saddam opened the valves and poured oil into the gulf,flewover the desert where there are many many pools and lakes of oil, flew down the line of buming oil wells (the smoke is unbelievable—and if it gets between you and the sun, it does in fact block it out and tum day into night). I lost count of oil well fires at about 50 (think there are still about 350 or so still burning). Next weflewover a Kuwaiti Air Base that had been used by the Iraqis and bombed by the Coalition Forces with some pretty powerful stuff. There is much debris and damage still evident—it will be repaired, but there is so much to do I'm not sure where it falls in the priority list. After we landed we went to visit the US Army two star and his staff that is rebuilding the country and had a very informative visit with them.

There is lots of damage still visible everywhere.

That night after the Port Opening Ceremony, we had a reception on board the flagship and I had some very interesting conversations with some of the guests. Wish we could have stayed a little longer; might have been able tofinaglean invite.

Laura was bom and raised in Northport, Mich., a small resort town (5000 in the Summer; 500 in Winter) located 30 miles North of Traverse City on the tip of the "little finger" of Michigan. And she has lots and lots of friends and relatives there. The big event was the 60th reunion of Laura's high school class 10 September. When we recovered from that, the next day, we drove South to Grand Rapids for a visit with Laura's nephew and family and an overnight stay. The next day we tumed the car in and left for home.

Al Boileau enclosed a snapshot of his brother Walter and himself taken in Richmond, Va., where he lives, 21 August 1991. Shown with them is Walt's second wife, Helen, and Helen's daughter and her Imsband. He, incidentally, is a retired chaplain, LCIOR, USN (Ret.).

Walt incidentally, is a year and a half older than I. He was bom 13 June 1902, and I came along on 6 Febmary, in 1904. We are the only family left; my oldest sister, bom in 1900, missed her 85th birthday by nine days. My two younger sisters died in their sixties. Walt and I have had quite a few physical problems, similar and occurring a year and a half apart. He got an ulcer: I had mine a year; nd a half later, same with gall bladder There are other examples. So, as long as he is around, I've got it made.

When he reaches 90, I'll follow reaching 90 a year and a half later The longer we can keep him alive, the longer I'll live. (A scientific approach!)

From Mable and Bob Cavenagh: "We have moved from 8360 Greensboro Drive, Apt. 812, McLean, Va. 22102 to 6251 Old Dominion Drive, Apt. 109, McLean, Va. 22101 Telephone (703) 237-2062."

They write that: ylife here is a little easier, less grocery shopping, etc. We have a nice Dining Room integral with our apartment management and are becoming acquainted with many of the residents."

A letter from Ed Kelly: I hereby acknowledge receipt of one snap-shot of me standing by a lot of odds and ends in my shed.

I've kept the picture with "bills to be paid" in my writing desk, and today I unearthed it, finally. So now I am square with the world! Thanks.

That picture was taken when I was still a young man, 1984, relatively, of course. The local scene has changed considerably since then; there are real estate developments all up and down Cardinal Drive.

The current recession has put most of it "on hold" (while the banks recover), but when the process

69

starts up again we shall need a traffic light at the driveway.

In June Irma, Martha, and I ventured a trip to Rockdale, Texas, to check up on Irma's sister who resides in an institution for Rockdale's elderly, who cannot cope on their own. It was only for a long week-end since Martha had to skip work; and Martha was the chauffeur She discourages my driving, and with cause; Ifiguremy limit today is about 300 miles between stops. It was well that she was along, because she is the only one of us with a credit card. I was surprised tofindthat one cannot rent a car without one these days. (How disgusting.)

Well, the trip convinced me that I shall probably never see San Diego again. Air travel these days is a pain-in-the-neck, the train requires a car rental, which I can't do since I am not going to be equipped with a credit card (I am a hold-out). And at 300 miles per day by auto it is a two-weeks joumey. At current motel prices that really adds up.

Irma and I visited with Dick Waldon in Baltimore just before he left for New Hampshire and his Summer residence. He is still mobile but operates in a lower gear. He originally moved from Baltimore to Holdemess, N.H., because he was tired of contributing to the "needy" element in Baltimore, now he is back in Baltimore because he is too old to cope with Winter in Holdemess.

Kay and P. D. Stroop had lunch with Ford Taylor's wife Betty and her oldest son at the San Diego Yacht Club.

Kay and PD. are going to Homecoming, spending two days in Washington, where RD. will make the usual rounds of the E Ring at the Pentagon.

We just received word from the Alumni Association that Mrs. Robert G. Armstrong, widow of RAdm. R. G. (Bob) Armstrong died in November 1990 at Bethesda, Maryland.

Her death was reported to the Alumni Association by her daughter, Mrs. Roberta Hobbs of 7613 Carter

70

Court, Bethesda, Md. 20034. The Class of 1926 book, Aloha, states that her husband, Bob Armstrong, died in 1980. She is survived by two daughters, Wanda Armstrong Rublee and Roberta Armstrong Hobbs, two grandchildren, and boy and a girl.

We have no further information concerning Mrs. Armstrong's death. The Class extends condolences to her family.

The Class is sadly notified of the death of Wendel Kline. He died on 6 October 1991 at Azalea Trace, Pensacola, Fla. At this date information as to buiral, following the memorial service held at Christ Episcopal Church in Pensacola, is not known.

He is survived by his wife Lois Lovette Kline, a daughter Mrs. Sam A. Boney, three granddaughters and one great granddaughter. The Class sent flowers to Lois at Azalea Trace. We extend our condolences to her and her family.

Ed Eckelmeyer, Red Scoles, Bill Nation and son, Billy, made up the quorum on 28 August and 25 September with 100% attendance as usual.

We are happy to pass along the word that Scoles has recovered from the bruises and pulled muscles sustained in a fall down ten concrete steps in July.

Joe Mahe represented the Class at the dedication of the new Alumni Hall on 5 October Some 500 other VlPs attended and midshipmen were interspersed among the distinguished guests. Joe reports that it was a well planned and impressive exercise.

Admiral Bob Long '44, speaking for the USNA AA laid emphasis on a salient point: that the success of this venture should not be interpreted that the Association would take on future tasks that rightfully belong to the Congress such as erecting a concrete structure.

Bob Hope was present and congratulated the Association and the Naval Academy; this despite a very recent accident which had occurred during a show at a Florida location which had required, among other things, stitching up a portion of his scalp. He was somewhat shaken by this experience but still came up with the "bon mot" of the evening by describing Alumni Hall as an OSCAR of a building.

Joe Jelley reports that he is "doing well." His new address is 3290 E San Miguel #215, Colorado Springs, Colo. 80909.

Statistics: In response to requests for such data, the following is furnished: As of 1 Oct. 1991, out of 579 graduates; 109 (19%) are living; 463 are deceased and 9 are in the unknown category. There may be some who are unreported but basically, these numbers are within the ballpark.

BLC's Class President, Ski Burzynski has purShipmate, December 1991

chased a video camera and recorder since some members of the BLC have difficulty in communications or in attending various events of Class or family interest. He will have the camcorder available for those who wish to make a recording of themselves for the purpose of creating a Class tape that will tell us what each other is doing in these days of our "octogenerian" activity. Whether you have your own video camera or need to use the one BLC now has.

Ski points out that you can make your own tape, making it available to all of us, and tell us what you are doing. Important activities for taping could include actual and planned events or how life is treating you.

He promises to return your tapes as soon as he has transferred them to BLC's video files. These files would be available for viewing for all Class members and their families who have a VHP video player at home.

Ski continues: "1 have made my own video recording, and also one of Mrs. Leonard G. Raymond, formerly Mrs. Cynthia (Mrs. Alan) Banister, who still lives in York Harbor, Maine. 1 will also have the camera available for all Homecoming games in Annapolis, and will add the recordings to our tape archives.

[C/S Note: Junior Classes should note this method of recording before they become "octogenary"] John Kent participated in the reception that took place after the games. While in the Annapolis area.

He had previouslyfinishedthe German class. He says the most heterogenous groups imaginable are found in the language classes representing all sorts of backgrounds.

Lillian Zimmennan writes from Newport, R.l. that Natalie Carlson informs that Dan Carlson on 26 September had fallen getting out of the elevator and broken his hip. A pin was put in the next morning.

When he is released from Newport Hospital, he will be in a nursing home for a month or so before returning to the retirement home where both the Zimmermans and Carlsons live. She says her husband John Zimmerman is doing well and remarks that "Old age is not for sissies." Speaking of Natalie Carlson, John Roenigk '34 sends a clipping from The Newport Daily News of 3 October featuring a photo of Natalie Savage Carlson holding one of the 43 childrens books she wrote, which is part of a display of artistic accomplishments of the residents at the BlenheimNewport Retirement Community in Middletown.

Her book The Family Under The Bridge is displayed next to an award earned by her husband, Dan Carlson. Natalie tumed 85 on the same day that Dan tumed 86. She has just written a picture book for children and is waiting for it to be published. The book is Habbits for Rabbits. Natalie, who worked three years as a reporter and columnist for the Long Beach (Calif) Sun newspaper, also wrote childrens stories for magazines. She began by reading to her two daughters and set many of her books in France, where she lived several years.

Al White, on a visit to Letterman Army Medical Center in San Francisco, sends a clipping from the Hospital paper Fog Horn. In a box called WORTH REPEATING were 5 quotations. One Quoted BGen. 71

Kemp Tolley and two granddaughters Samuel B. Griffith II, USMC—"In the United States, we go to considerable trouble to keep soldiers out of politics, and even more to keep politics out of soldiers." The other quotes were from Generals Patton and Ridgeway plus Josh Billings and Mark Twain. Sam's translation of The Art Of War by Sun Tzu is still being plugged by various book catalogs. It is now advertised as a sine qua non for business as many modem Japanese businessmen avidly study it as its principles can be effectively applied to today's domestic and global business enviromnent.

Kemp Tolley sends a "boss pictiire" that shows him taking his granddaughters for a spin, or vice versa. Kemp is in Maryland Cossack costume. His older daughter is a professional horse photographer Kemp says "she will mug your plug for $500 with a 3' X 5' color print to go over the mantiepiece." She shot the enclosed pic of Kemp and the two granddaughters in the lower pasture of his bucolic Monkton, Md. home. Kemp needed a ladder to get aboard that 17 hands boss (a hand is 4" to you uninitiated). He used to do a lot of hossback riding in China, where at Chungking, it was the only method of transportation. No motor cars, no roads. Kemp sent a short report from Vlada on her recent trip to Russia titled "Vlada Tolley in Darkest Russia:" Our 6-day trip in late July (Goucher president and I) was chiefly in connection with college student exchanges—3 days of business in Moscow and 3 in the ancient museum cities of Suzdal and Vladimir, no miles East of Moscow by highway. My impressions in general were more favorable than on a similar trip last year. Now, there are open fairs in the old Russian fashion, conmierce burgeoning, lots of truck and passenger traffic on the roads, and black markets with goods fijmished by people who have been abroad. Moscow's famous Arbat is now a street wholly given over to pedestrians buying from street stalls: paintings, hand-knit shawls, scarves, Palekh-type boxes—middlemen selling surreptitiously, plainsclothesmen checking. "How much is that box in rubles?" says I. Four hundred. Scandalous! "And how much in dollars?" The man grins.

"Eight to ten years," says he. Then he suggests US$20, tightly folded, inconspicuously handed over Government food and other stores empty of goods. Those special ones requiring foreign currency are full of food but empty of people; too expensive. Bread, at heavily subsidised prices requires only a few minutes in line. Crowded farmers markets bulge with beautifiil but very expensive meats and vegetables. We saw a good many European tourists, but not many Americans. Customs formalities are lax—a far cry from past years of occasional body searches and strict currency control.

And the rable is 30 times cheaper than a few years ago. Our Mendeleev University hosts were overwhelmingly hospitable, with two suites at the University, top hotels in the boonies, bountifijl meals, and a motor car with driver The way to go! Vlada

Exec. Sec'y RAdm. W. T. Nelson USN (Ret.) 3440 Jefferson St., Apt. 1023 Falls Church, Va. 22041 Corr. Sec'y, Capt. Christian L. Engleman USN (Ret.) MP 82R, Skamania Mines Rd. Washougal, Wash. 98671 In this edition we have our continuing utilization of the concept of having the responsibility of writing and submitting the Class of 1930 Column for publication in Shipmate falling to the lot of a Guest Class Corresponding Secretary (GCCS).

The honor (?) of being this, our tenth GCCS, has been achieved by our accomplished, congenial, reliable, and talented Classmate, Lee Boyle. In composing this column Lee has been assisted by his trustworthy squadmates: Hugh MacKay, Art Owen, Salty Westropp, Harry Stevenson, Herb Marable, and Bill Moffett.

As GCCS for the December issue I refer you back to the March Shipmate, Bill Doyle's report about Sparky Woodruff. "Sparky is afflicted with spinal stenosis but he has all his marbles." In my own case I sometimes wonder if one or more of my marbles have gone adrift. How does one know? I'd like to have Bill Doyle check me out sometime. Two years ago my doctor said that a couple of CatScans and MRIs told him that 1 have mild spinal stenosis. He prescribed a daily two mile walk or a half mile swim, and to carry a cane.

Talking with Jack Edwards after he had won his first gold medal in the Glendale 10 K run, he volunteered that he came in four minutes ahead of the next runner, but that there were only two in his class.

Rebel made the comment, "Actually you were next to the last, as the Russians would report it if the race were between the US and the Soviets." 1 got the impression that Jack would not argue about getting the gold medal for coming in next to last.

Art Owen reports that macular degeneration keeps him from reading or writing. So Madeleine acts as family typist. After recovering from by-pass surgery Madeleine has resumed duty as family typist, and as of mid-September they were both well and happy.

Art reports on a couple of events from the past: Prior to WW II, I was on the staff of the Commander of Transports. We were in the process of converting merchant ships to APAs and AKAs. On many occasions the Commodore would take the ships to sea on week-ends. One of the ex-merchant engineers observed that USS meant "Underway Saturdays and Sundays." On one occasion, during maneuvers, the ships were slow in answering flag

hoists. The Commodore said, "I might just as well be sending signals to the Empress of China. OK, Bob, execute and see what happens."

After the war, when the Service Force was maneuvering in the North Atlantic at night, all ships darkened, we spotted many Hghted merchant ships ahead of us. After several course changes the Commodore decided we could not shake them, so he gave the order, "Light ships, boys, you're on your own." Fortunately they passed through our column without incident.

Marion MacKay writes that Hugh has had Alzheimer's disease for the last 14'/2 years and has been in a nursing home in Walnut Creek for the last 3y4 years.

She continues, he remains the perfect gentleman he has always been, which is uncommon in this disease, as the norm is quite often violent.

Bill Moffett reports that the six members of '30 living in the Tidewater area seem to be in good health; Heerbrandt, Hommes, Roby, Sheeley, Wilson and himself. Eph had a recent bout with the medicos but should be back on the tennis courts soon. He submits a poem written by Jack Jones for our 50th, but never published: HFTY for THIRTY

by Jack Jones It's fifty for thirty, lads: We've come a long long way; And what to pass to others Is not for us to say.

We've served in ships of all kinds; Tin cans and old BBs; And some, oh, please forgive us In Reina Mercedes.

We've come down the line with a bone in our teeth, The big whales out there spraying; The dolphins dancing across our bow Andflyingfisha-playing.

We've roamed the seas and skyways; We've trained on Navy beans; And some, if you believe it Have even been Marines.

We've lost a few along the way To foe and stormy weather; But we feel sure come judgement day We'll all be there together.

These things, Lord, we ask for As we reach on home to thee A sense of mission accomplished.

Fair winds and a following sea.

Marcia Stevenson McDonald, daughter of Harry Stevenson, writes that Steve has been in a nursing home in Calistoga, Calif, for the past three years with multi-infarct dementia and macular degeneration. He suffered a hip fracture a year ago, but had it surgically pinned and is walking again. He has fond memories of friends and events of the past, especially his days in the Navy, and still musters a lively rendition of "The Goat is Old and Gnarly."

Steve especially enjoys visits from friends and family, which includes three children, six grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Marge Stevenson is still chipper and lives in the family home in Santa Rosa, Calif.

The San Diego Group held their monthly Class luncheon on 13 September at MCRD. Those present were Harvey and Evelyn Burden, Lee and Dorothy Boyle, Roscoe Newman, Mush and Nova Domin, Eddie and Anne Wagner, Walt Walters, Jack Moreno, Bill and Betty Sanders, Martha Beans, Bunny Bowen, Else Bradman, Betty McClain, Dolly Kinert, Dixie Miller, Helen Mott, Betty Robinson Pownall, and Patty Trower We are sad to report the death of Bert Hindrelet's widow, Katherine which occurred 14 September in San Diego. She was a longtime member of the women's committee of the San Diego Symphony, the Old Globe Theatre, and the San Diego Opera Guild.

We will miss her

Coast, RAdm. Andrew J. Hill USN (Ret.) 1295 Bangor St., San Diego, Calif. 92106 The big news is our very successful September Reunion in Annapolis, organized and managed by Les Ray Hunter, Les Wood, Supt. RAdm. T. C. Lynch '64 Wood, who wrote this fine summary: "After the 11 July 1990 meeting in Annapolis the floor was opened for discussion—re 60th Reunion.

Les stated that being able, he intended to be in Annapolis for a football game 60 years after graduation.

His plan was to stay at the Holiday Inn (our 55th Reunion Headquarters) Friday and Saturday. Anyone of Uke mind would be welcome to stop by and exchange a few lies (sea stories) and enjoy a spot of cheer "The above is quoted from the letter sent out in September 1990—nearly one hundred of our Classmates, wives and widows were of a like mind. At the July meeting Les Wood, hereafter known as the Chairman volunteered to coordinate the effort.

"There followed nearly a year of questionnaires, letters, phone calls etc. to get the end results. Early on the Navy-William & Mary game 21 September Alvey Wright, John Kirkpatrick, Ed Bums 1991 was chosen, the Holiday Inn selected as Headquarters.

"On Thursday 19 September an advance conE^^3Kr. i<^| tingent arrived and set up headquarters in our hospitality room, quite properly named the Commodore John Paul Jones Suite. As Classmates will recall our Lucky Bag was dedicated to this naval officer Fortunately for the Chairman this advance group included Pat Hibschman who with a background of business experience took over the multifarious detail of arranging the programs for the next three days.

With her in charge all peaks and valleys were leveled.

The Chairman's main duty was to see that she was not interrupted in her work. Thanks, Pat. "Our cocktail party on Friday night drew about eighty five in attendance. Carlyle and Phil Mothersill had driven from the West Coast and naturally Phil's trumpet was brought with him. Any time a fan- Al and Mary Sharp fare was needed he promptly and cheerfully fulfilled the request.

"For Saturday buses were provided for transportation to the events scheduled. Jack Crowley, experienced in this work, had the buses so timed that we had an exact and easy access to everything with this time table: leave hotel 1030—arrive at Class of '53 Pavilion for luncheon 1100—depart Paviliion for our entrance gate 1300—pick up and take passengers to the hotel at same entrance gate after the game.

Thanks, Jack. We were honored to be visited by Academy superintendent, RAdm. Thomas C. Lynch, '64, at the Pavilion before the game.

"At dinner Saturday our first seating arrangement Mildred and Jack Wulff had ninety eight attending. For various reasons some could not attend, leaving that function with ninety Phil played Mess Gear before we sat down and a couple of solos after dinner—thanks, Phil.

"Two church parties attended the Chapel Sunday moming. Catholic and Protestant. The size of the Protestant party mandated a second bus trip. Before we entered Al Sharp and others took pictures on the Chapel steps.

"Chapel services have changed since 'Holy' Joe Evans conducted them the Summer of 1927. First a pipe stood at the right of the entrance with his pipes playing a pibroch that all descendants of the bonnie isle know so well; at the close of the service again he coaxed the Navy Hymn from that mournful instruAndy Hill & PK Will ment. Inside the service proceeded with three ministers joining in presenting the service. A shame that

Bob Heilig, Ed Moring, Ernie Ellsworth all the Midshipmen do not attend voluntarily. For those who go down to the sea in ships a little deposit in the faith bank could be a great sustainer and account to be drawn on if the need be. Included in the Bulletin was this notice to the congregation: Welcome Class of 1931 Members, wives, and widows of the Class of 1931 are attending their Sixtieth Reunion this moming.

At the beginning of World War n many received command early in their careers. Twenty seven gave their lives, three were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, and the Navy's highest decoration was presented eighty times. They were a living example of the motto: "Non sibi. sedpatriae." Not for self but for country! Well done, '31!

"After Chapel the final farewells that always mark the end of a reunion were made. The Chairman for the benefit of those not attending cites as follows: for morale and financial support—Ray Hunter and Johnny Webster. For transportation support—Jack Crowley. For music and fanfare support—Phil Mothersill. For administration and Chairman support—Pat Hibschman.

And so with apologies to Bob Hope— Thanks for the memories Of oldsters who could come.

Sea stories that were spun.

For new friends that were won.

And glitches there were some.

But really we had fun; So thank you so much.

"We appreciated the fine weather provided by aerologists Betts and Steere (with an assist by the Powers Above). And we shall treasure the many pictures with which Al Sharp, PK Will, and Pat Hibschman recorded the event. We previously reported our April West Coast reunion at the Lawrence Welk Resort, organized and managed capably by Jean & Andy Hill; and our large July luncheon at the Annapolis Yacht Club, sponsored by Georgette and Joe Thornton.

"With such a good attendance may we not reasonably hope for more good gatherings, perhaps on the nucleus of the Washington Summer coed luncheons?

In the meantime let us keep our group in touch with regional luncheon meetings, the next in Washington being 10 December at Fort McNair . . .

Ralph Cullinan sends the following fine tribute from Houston: After many years of dedicated service to the Class, afineSecretary has stepped down to be able to enjoy a well earned respite from his exacting duties.

In a group such as ours where all are committed to a common calling, perhaps longfriendshipscan be said to be inherent. Maybe so, but friendship is like a delicate plant. It needs careful tending and nurturing if it is toflourishand endure and not wilt or fade.

It is to that vital purpose that Ed Day has so generously and so successfully given of his time and effort. It is to him that we have owed so much for so long.

Ralph also writes: Glad to have your report on the reunion. Sorry we missed it. I had phoned Les to congratulate him on his planning and execution. The 36/100 ratio of Classmates to total attendees says something about the inexorable passage of time, doesn't it!

Yes, we're both pleased with our new quarters.

Dora deserved a respite from housekeeping and cooking. Also, we have a well stocked library, a splendid gym and a fine all-weather inside pool, plus in-house health care facilities providing roundthe-clock medical attention if needed, lone and Ralph Gillette have delayed their rehun from Massachusetts to Vinson Hall until November; the doctors found a need for surgery and added followup treatment in lone. We hope that this will completely dispatch lone's concem.

Phyllis Holtzworth wrote to Ed Day: I am still at the address . . . [Seattle]. . . and expect I will be here for a while—health permitting. I like it quite well and am close to one of my daughters. She was indispensable to me when I developed some heart problems in the Spring and had to undergo surgery in May. I am doing fine and getting my health back.

I see Elsa Smith quite often as she lives only half a mile from my apartment. . . .

I look at all the cruise brochures the Alumni Ass. sends and get a bit dreamy at times, but am not really up to it. . . at this time. My daughter, Nancy, works for Holland America cruise line and maybe one day she will come up with a special for me.

Ernie is still very much in my mind and heart. We were friends for so many, many years. There are now six great grandchildren—four boys and two girls. He only lived to see the two oldest boys. . . . I am in close touch with his Nancy who is now Nancy Veasey and living in Virginia. Small world.

When you talk with Ray Hunter, say "hello" and tell him that Emie's brother Bert's widow, Caroline, lived for some years where he is now living when it was Distaff Hall. . . .

That's about it for now. Best to you always and to all those who gave me such wonderful support at Ernie's funeral.

We hope you recover fully, Phyllis, and can travel to your heart's content.

Edward Maynard Day. We must add just before going to press that our dear Classmate and friend, our fine Class Secretary for the last 10 years, died at Naval Medical Center, Bethesda on Satm-day, 19 October He had been in declining health for some years. He died of heart failure. He had continued maintaining his extensive records, writing Shipmate columns and notices through his gradually interfering illness, finally getting out our 1991 Directory, with some typing help (the errors in the Blue Book are the work of the typing assistant). In these last months he carefully tumed over the secretarial tasks and his voluminous records to a successor (his typing assistant).

Ed received an M.S. in mechanical engineering from M.l.T in 1940, supporting his special interest in torpedo technology. We wish he could have been early enough to influence our torpedoes of the early WW II years.

Ed's commands included WILLARD, KEITH; Naval Operating Base Greenland; and Transport Division 121 of Amphibious Force Atlantic. He also had staff and Washington assignments; the latter leading to establishing his permanent home in Bethesda. After retirement from the Navy in 1961 he joined the McDon-

Shipmate, December 1991

nell Aircraft Corporation until second retirement in 1970. This retirement peace ended in 1981 when he took up our Class Secretary responsibilities.

Our nearby Classmates are rallying round in support of Ed's lovely helpmate, Ruth; in arranging a memorial service and accomplishing the tasks involved at such a time.

Pres., Capt. Donald I. Thomas USN (Ret.) 4032 Liggett Dr, San Diego, Calif. 92106 Sec'y, Capt. T. A. Nisewaner USN (Ret.) 7121 Helmsdale Rd., Bethesda, Md. 20817 "Here and There With '32" Thanks to the astuteness of Bobby Fulton we have the sad word on the loss of a Classmate and his close friend Horace R. Brannon on 27 August 1991. One of the sparkling but diminutive Plebes who entered the Academy in the Summer of 1928 and roomed with the gang on the groundfloorof the old First Battalion wing was the late Steamer Brannon. He was dynamic and likeable and one we hate to lose but that is the price we pay for being "senior citizens."

Steamer is another of those members who have been enjoying civilian life for a long time. After serving in PENNSYLVANIA, surveying in the Aleutians in

TAN ACER and a bit of destroyer duty in WORDEN, Steamer Brannon was retired due to tuberculosis at the Army's Fitzsimmons Hospital in Denver in 1939.

While based in WORDEN in San Diego, Steamer married Miss Sarah Grant, the daughter of Dr and Mrs. J. F Grant of that city on 7 December 1935.

Almost ever since Sarah and Steamer have been celebrating Pearl Harbor Day and their anniversary jointly.

Following his medical discharge. Steamer worked for an aircraft company in Denver until he and his family moved East shortly before WWII exploded.

For a couple of years he worked for the Cramp Shipbuilding Company in Philly but was soon recalled to active duty and served as an instructor at the University of Pennsylvania.

Unfortunately there was aflareup of the old problem so it was back to Fitzsimmons for more tests. After his release he became a manufacturer's agent for a company that manufactured industrial diamond products and other abrasive materials for industrial use covering a huge territory from Canada to the Mexican border along the spine of the Rockies.

At this time Steamer chose to live in Boulder, Colorado, because there was always an open season on some type of game or fish. Friends state that Steamer would get a dreamy look every time fishing was mentioned.

Around 1965 Steamer and his family moved to Raton, N.M., where he went to work as Manager of Material for a firm that was building field radios for Army use in Viet Nam. By the time the contract was finished, the Brannons were hopelessly in love with the place and Steamer went into the real estate business and remained a broker for Raton Realty for years. Sarah and Steamer then bought 90 acres of land just outside Raton with a beautiful building site on a mesa top and then designed and built their beautifiil home. For the rest of their lives they enjoyed the most beautiful sunsets and sunrises in the world.

Steamer was also one of the truly greatflyfishermen in the area, even establishing his own company to manufacture fishing lures, and was recognized and spoke internationally for his knowledge and skill in the sport. Sarah worked extensively in the State Welfare Department and was supervisor of the New Mexico State Welfare System before finally retiring to Shipmate, December 1991

work in her own garden and care for the hundreds of trees she had planted.

Sarah and Steamer Brannon had three daughters, two of whom live in Califomia and one in Pennsylvania. Between them they have produced thirteen grandchildren . . . nine girls and four boys. To all of them we send our heartfelt sympathy on their loss and our loss of a truly great little man who was small in size only but a giant in accomplishments and human behaviour One of the better bits of news in recent years is that the mortgage for the Class of '32 Memorial was fully paid off on 1 October 1991. On that date Bill Busik, the Executor of the estate of Sylvia and Rex Little, at the request and suggestion of Don Thomas, transferred from that estate to our Class Memorial Fund the full amount of our indebtedness . . . about $10,000.

Everyone was in agreement that this generous gift which will allow us to "bum the mortgage" would be a wonderful tribute to the memory of Sylvia and Rex Little. Not withstanding this wonderful "going over the top" gift from the Little's estate, the lion's share of credit for bringing our Class Memorial into being belongs to the many members of the Class of '32 and their widows whose contributions over the past six years, totaling nearly $190,000, have made our Memorial possible. We truly salute and thank you and give special tribute to our departed Dickie Jukes, widow of Herbie Jukes, who started us off with a contribution of $10,000 and Ted Hodgkins who handled all the expense of the architectural design.

Now that our specific needs have been erased it is hoped that we will continue to support the Annual Alumni Fund Drive to complete the funding for that gorgeous new building on the grounds, Alumni Hall.

It is utterly fantastic in its multi-purpose use. Its formal dedication was set for 4 October, before you receive this copy of Shipmate.

One of our youngest Class members, Lloyd Mustin, celebrated his 80th birthday in style on 30 July 1991 at the beautiful resort of Cabo San Lucas on the southern tip of lower Califomia. His live-wire daughter, Douglas St. Denis, spearheaded the arrangements to stay at the Hermitage, a lovely spot right on the beach in an almost perfect setting. And there they stayed for almost a week.

Present for the grand celebration to cheer Lloyd along for another 80 were daughter Douglas and her husband Dale St. Denis, son VAdm. Henry C. Mustin USN (Ret.) '55 and his lovely wife Lucie, son Tom Mustin '62, now a successful California lawyer and his lovely wife, close friends and Classmate Anne and Don Thomas plus assorted cousins and grandchildren all having a great time.

The weather was perfect, the beaches a glistening white and thefishingmore than adequate. Lloyd celebrated by catching and releasing a huge 375 lb. marlin. Regretfully one grandson. Ensign John Mustin USN '90, couldn't make the big bash because his ship was deploying.

On 12 September 1991 we lost Edward A. "Count" Ruckner, one of the distinguished "Star" members of our dwindling numbers but only after a long struggle and loss of energy.

Count started out on the old CHESTER (CA-27) and after a three year stint the Summer of 1935 witnessed several important events: his marriage to Rosa "Babs" McGill of Baltimore, his promotion to Lt.(jg) and his transfer to WORDEN (DD-352). Then followed brief stints on DEWEY (DD-349) and BRAZOS

(AO-4) where among other things he was Gunnery Officer.

This started his gunnery career and shortly he was enrolled in an Ordnance Fire Control course at the PG School, Annapolis. From there he went to M.l.T. and earned a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering.

After a brief stint in BuOrd he returned to sea as

Lloyd and his gang at Cabo San Lucas

Lloyd Mustin and his bevy of beauties celebrating his 80th

Gunnery Officer of MEMPHIS with a later transfer to the Staff of ComCruDiv TWO then serving in the Atlantic. In May 1944 he was shifted to the Pacific area to serve as Gunnery Officer of ATLANTA (CL-104)

where he stayed for the rest of WWII although later fleeting up to Exec.

In July 1949 Count was given his first command, the E. A. GREENE (DD-711), after which he became a

student at the Navy War College. After completing the course, he was assigned in successive orders to the staff of PhibGroup TWO, Assistant C O . and Ordnance Officer of the Naval Proving Ground, Dahlgren, Va., and then command of MISSISSIPPI en75

Tish and Bill Cox gaged in evaluating among others, the TERRIER guided Missile.

Further duties included the Navy Department as Deputy Chief of Material, command of a Destroyer Squadron in the Med, command of a cruiser division in the Pacific, ComDesLant and Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Research and Development.

Surviving Count are two children, Edward A. Ruckner Jr '63 and his daughter Rosa Ruckner Halbert of Baltimore and two grandchildren. Count served his country long and with great ability. Our sincere condolences are extended to his son, daughter and grandchildren.

Once again, after a one year skip, we have a Class of 1932 Honor Scholar. The recipient, arranged for through the Naval Academy Foundation, is Adam Tazewell Scott, a graduate of Oakton High School in Vienna, Va. Adam was a member of the state championship swim and dive team but his favorite sport is lacrosse. He was member of the school band that was named Virginia's Honor Band. He was also a member of the band council and the Tri-M music honor society. In prepping for USNA he attended Bridgton Academy in North Bridgton, Maine. It looks like we once again have helped sponsor a terrific candidate.

The resumption of our Class luncheons on 11 September after the usual two month hiatus of July and August brought forth a sterling crowd of 19 who assembled in the delightful Pershing Room at Fort Lesley I McNair Present for the gathering were Larry Smith, all the way over from his new home in Easton, Md., and Marion and Mel Young who it was great to see after a long and painful recovery from a hip operation complicated by a fall which undid the initial operation.

Mel is moving a bit slowly but given time he will bounce back.

Others there for the occasion were Nona Ward, Francis Foley, Howard Prince, Peggy and Jim Collett, Janet and Bill Stuart, Frances and Will I. Bull, our Chairman, as usual for the affair, Andy Nisewaner, Muriel Wellings who is always a delight to see, Nancy Odend'hal, alert, sharp and well groomed as usual, Jane Moncure, as usual gracious and relaxed, Lloyd Mustin and a snappy looking Pauline Innis who was a real surprise and at her first Class luncheon since the loss of Walt a year ago.

The real bombshell at the gathering was Dick Best from out of Santa Monica, Calif., who was back East visiting his daughter Barbara Ann Llewellin who lives in Rockville, Md. He had called to ask when the luncheon would be held and was the star of the show.

We greatly missed Muriel and Barry Atkins who normally drive all the way up from Fredericksburg, Va. for these affairs, Margaret Van Evera who was tied up with church duties, and Mary Pierce recover76

ing from an operation. Hopefully, we will catch them the next time around.

You don't have to live in the WashingtonAnnapolis area to have that old school spirit and a recent memo forwarded from Bill Busik, the splendid Executive Director of the USNA Alumni Association, notified us that a fine contribution had been received for the Class of '32 Fund from a unified trio of (pop) George Rogers, Capt. USN (Ret.), (son) Robert R Rogers '57 Col. USMC (Ret.), and (grandson) Brendan P Rogers '90 Ens. USN. Our sincere thanks and gratitude go out to all the members of the Rogers family.

A second letter from Bobby Fulton in a brief space of time gave the sad word that Virginia Moore, the petite southem belle and widow of our gung-ho Johnny Moore died on 8 September 1991 after a stroke and a long siege of pneumonia. Bobby Fulton attended thefinalservices as did Charlotte Grider and Bobby added a splendid touch by sending a floral piece from the Class. Johnny Moore and Virginia were married in December of 1932 after a romance that started on Johnny's Christmas leave in Memphis with John Grider during our First Class year. It was a deep and lasting union and they had one beautiful daughter Shawla who now survives them.

Johnny Moore was literally born to be a submarine commander He got his wish when he took command of GRAYBACK in July 1943 and made the most of it. He participated in the first American wolf pack operation, pioneered with submerged submarine approaches guided by early SJ radar, sank two Japanese light cruisers and a fantastic number of escorts and auxiliary vessels, and made GRAYBACK famous with its night attacks on convoys.

On the tenth and last patrol 27 February 1944, GRAYBACK was attacked on the surface by a Jap carrier plane which made a direct hit. The GRAYBACK exploded and sank immediately. The loving memories of a truly gallant warrior by Virginia have now ceased.

On a brighter note from Bobby Fulton came the word that all the members of the Mid-South Chapter of '32 (all three of them) attended the recent Navy League function in Memphis honoring the new CNO who is a Tennesseean and there for the occasion. The three are Bobby, Charlotte Grider and Mrs. Lee (Kuhl) Holeman. Lee and her husband Bill were just back from Norfolk where her son-in-law just became the new ComAirLant.

Pres., Capt. Raymond W. Thompson, Jr. USN (Ret.) Sec'y-Treas., RAdm. Charles A. Blick SC USN (Ret.) 2725 31st St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20008 (202) 745-1891 The Annapolis-Washington Group lunched at the Chevy Chase Club on 10 September. Attendees were Blick, Blouin, Caldwell, Dawson, Turner Duncan, Elliott, Erck, King, Masterton, McKibbin, Pratt, Shifley, Thompson and Wright. Jim Elliott was welcomed back after an Alaskan honeymoon cruise. Leo Erck has completed his autobiography and has provided James Oliver Brown with a copy who will explore its potential in the publishing world. The Group plans to host the annual pre-Army-Navy football game luncheon with the Millitary Academy Class of 1933 to be held in November.

The Naval Academy Foundation has informed the Class that Scott R. Shepard has been selected as the Class of 1933 Honor Scholar for this year Scott is from Atlanta, Ga. and graduated from Riverwood

High School where he earned a varsity letter in crosscountry and was also team captain of that sport. Prior to entering the Naval Academy with the Class of 1995, Scott spent a year at the Marion Military Institute, Marion, Ala. under the sponsorship of the Foundation. The Class wishes Scott every success.

The Naval Academy Foundation has established an endowment fund in support of athletic excellence at the Naval Academy in memory of and in the honor of Elliott Loughlin. The fund's value as of this writing, is just over $500,000.00 with direct contributions continuing to come. The objective of the fund is to provide assistance to the Academy's varsity athletic program.

At the Inactivation Ceremony of GUITARRO (SSN-665) held 13 September at Submarine Base, San Diego, the Class had two honored guests. Jack Coy and Rick Haskins, both former skippers during WW 11 of the first GUITARRO. Rick was accompanied by his son, Robert' 83. Jane Davenport was also present at the ceremony.

The San Diego Group held its monthly luncheon at the Admiral Kidd Club on 13 September Attendees were Coye, Gamon, Macpherson, Monroe, Felling, Rumble and Stuart. The Macphersons are leaving for Quebec in late September to embark on a St. Lawrence River cruise followed by a tour of New England.

Henry Rumble will attend a family reunion in Ventura, Calif, in late October Henry's son, now living in Australia, will bring his wife and one of her sons and his wife. After the gathering the Australian contingent, the family will spend some time in San Diego with Henry.

Madeline and Joe Williams' grandson was the recipient of the "Secretariat of the Navy Honor Scholar" scholarship of the Naval Academy Foundation created by John W Wamer, former Secretary of the Navy. Their grandson, Kerry Clark Williams, was a star soccer player at Spantansburg High School, SC. and spent a Foundation-sponsored year at Hargrave Military Academy prior to entering the Naval Academy with the Class of 1995. Good luck to you, Kerry.

The Annapolis-Washington Group assembled for lunch at the Chevy Chase Club on 8 October Attendees were Blick, Blouin, Caldwell, Dawson, Cobb, Elliott, Erck, King, Macdonald, McKibbin, Masterton, Moorer, Oren, Ramee, Shifley, Thompson and Wright. It was agreed that we would host the U.S. Military Academy (1933) group on 12 November for our annual get-together prior to the ArmyNavy football game. Tom Moorer made a herculean effort to cover the world situation and accomplished it in his usual masterful manner Some of Tom's pronouncements were: 1. We are living in a very disorderly World. 2. It may come down to a contest between the Bible and the Koran. 3. The Pentagon planners are at a loss to draw up a BUDGET as so many unforeseen events are happening in rapid order such as: the removal of the Berlin Wall, the Collapse of the Warsaw Pact, and the unification of Germany followed by the breaking up of the USSR. 4. The situation in the USSR is grim as the economy is in a free fall complicated by serious drops in oil and coal production. 5. In spite of everything the USSR is still building tanks and submarines at the pre-GLASNOST rate. 6. The recent unsuccessful coup in the USSR has added additional confusion to the Pentagon planning and budgetary stalemate. 7. U.S. business have been frustrated in their efforts to get something going in the USSR because they don't know whom to deal with and when they do they find they can't buy property because they can't get a clear title to the land due to the uncertainty of the identity of the real owners. 8. All in all, the USSR is an economic basket-case complicated by pernicious inflation and the constant change of the personnel with whom U.S. business must deal with. 9. Our own doShipmate, December 1991

mestic front protogonists are eager to get their hands on a peace dividend which might prove elusive, if not non-existent.

Mr. Frank Clemens, formerly a Marine in LOUISVILLE saw the photo of her '34 ensigns in the September column and wrote to identify two of the others from '33. Standing on the extreme left is John Lehman and next-to-last on the right is Ed Metzger Frank still has a copy of the original picture, taken when RAdm. Frederick Home '99 was coming aboard in May 1935 to relieve RAdm. Thomas Hart '97 as ComCruDiv Six. Mary and Al Moore hosted a delightful WB&A luncheon on 26 September at Fisherman's Wharf on the Eastern Shore to open the 1991-92 season, with an unusual number of out-of-towners on hand.

Frances and Frank Pinney had planned to stop there for lunch that day returning from a northern trip and the invite to the Class lunch was a pleasant surprise.

Paul Savidge was up from Florida keeping in touch with his old bailiwick, Carl Schoenweiss came from Virginia Beach, Eleanor and Charlie Stephan from Boca Raton, Lester Stone and Dud Hill came down from Pennsylvania, Kay and Dune Dixon up from North Carolina. Al Newman's widow Terry brought daughter Bunny Palka. Mary and Hi Smith brought Es Miller, widow of our old coach and honorary member Rip Miller. Very much alive and active, she Shipmate, December 1991

was voted in unanimously as another honorary member Ernie Cooper's arrival was delayed somewhat by an auto accident almost outside the entrance but no one was hurt other than by the insurance deductible. Other attendees were Dot Buse, Margie Christensen, Jane and John Condon, Lil Dickey, Eel Dutton, Ruth Fuller, Mildred and Art Gralla, Lois and George Hoffman, Jim Johnson, Betty and Bill Keller, Grayson Merrill, Fid Murray, Eleanor and Pat Ring, George Ruffin, Ann and Roy Smith, and Les Taylor Most interesting were guests of three widower Classmates. Carl Schoenweiss introduced Margaret Jones as his official fiancee; Lester Stone brought Sherry Myers and Bob Bengston brought Eleanor Hiner with every indication that all three will become members of '34 in the not-too-distant future.

The important decision of this luncheon group was that there will be a 60th reunion in Annapolis on 2629 May 1994. A preliminary planning letter should have reached you before you read this; if you haven't returned its enclosed questionnaire please do so forthwithâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;before you forget it again. Remember that it takes about two years advance notice to secure such reservations and we need yoiff answers for planning numbers.

In checking records for that mailing we find 228 Classmates and 140 widows, of whom seven have remarried, with known addresses. There are eight graduate Classmates we have lost.

Holders of the WB&A Class Directory please change Duncan Dixon's North Carolina telephone number to read (919) 342-2510 and add a new entry for Capt. H. Dudley Hill USNR (Ret.), 517 East Lancaster Ave. #210, St. David's, PA 19087.

The December luncheon will be our annual Christmas party, hosted by Helen and John Harllee at the Chevy Chase Club in suburban Maryland on 10 December. Out-of-towners are more than welcome but please write or call John to let him know you are coming. His address is 8101 Connecticut Ave. NW, Apt. N-408, Chevy Chase, Md. 20815 and the phone is (301) 652-7028.

Pop Gunn took rae to task for my goof in the JulyAugust Shipmate account of our Mississippi River cruise. In enumerating the Classmates pictured 1 missed Pop, sitting next to me. 1 know I'm going blind but didn't realize I'd lost the ability to count.

My humble apologies, Pop. Jim Bentley sent two lovely photos from midshipman days. Those in white works are, from the left.

Heck, Wilcox, Lily Becker and Clifford. One reminded hira of Frank Nusom's denominational problem as a Plebe. When asked what church he belonged to he replied, "The round church." And what might that be? "A place where the Devil can't comer you." Jim also reported that grandson Tristan is now a USNA Youngster ('94), doing well, and that daughter Marie's adoption of a baby brings his total of grandchildren (including steps and adopted) to 24. A Class record?

Charlie Stephan wrote that Eleanor and he recently retumed from Hawaii, attending son Charles's retirement from CinCPacFlt staff and the Navy. The ceremony was conducted at the ARIZONA Memorial

by Admiral Kelly and was very impressive.

The photo shows Charles cutting the cake with father's sword, given to him on graduation from the Academy in 1965. From the left. Dad, Charles, wife Lynn, daughter Debbie, and Mom. Hap Deakin reports a new Winter home address, effective after 14 November, at 23200 Via Esplendor, Villa de Luxe 34 (What other number could he choose?), Cupertino, Calif 95014. He says "It's a life care with equity ownership" but he's not giving up his "perfect spot on San Diego Bay." Ebba and Ed Lee followed the Alumni group to Alaska in September, sailing from and retuming to San Francisco with 14 days in SS ROYAL VIKING SKY in between. They, too, had plenty of shore excursions

and a wonderful time.

Marge and Chet Siver came to town in early October as guests for the dedications of Alumni Hall and its Bob Hope Center for the Performing Arts and it was good to see them again. Some time ago Bev Van Buskirk wondered if he, involved in automobile driver testing, was the only Classmate still working for a living. In March 1990 we reported that Bill Sweeney still runs a golf tour business plus two other Hawaiian companies after getting rid of several others to lighten the load. And we know that Grayson Merrill is busy with a national computer information network, at least some of which must be commercial.

But Chet probably has the most impressive claim. He is patentor, owner, CEO and Chairman of Conval, Inc. and several subsidiary companies manufacturing and distributing special forged steel valves in an intemational market. That requires frequent and exten-

sive world travel, which keeps them both young. We doubt that any other Classmate carries on such a fiill business lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and he still plays a fair game of golf.

Ginny and Claude Bailey came to town earlier, he as a former letterman guest for the Alumni basketball game that opened the sports side of the new Alumni Hall. It was great fun seeing Claude again and welcoming Ginny into '34.

Now that Winter is with us, remember this: Al catarro, con el jarro. (A cold is best killed with a decanter)

Packard USN (Ret.) 5600 Yorktown Blvd., Arlington, Va. 22207 (703) 536-7120 Bill Hazzard reports his wife, Dottie, died on 16 September 1991 at the San Diego Convalescent Center after a valiant fight to recover from injuries received in an auto accident on 24 May. In addition to Bill, she is survived by sons: David K. of Williamsburg, Va.; Alan H. of Midway, British Columbia; and Stephen in San Diego, living with Bill; eight grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. A letter of condolence has been sent from the Class to Bill by Jeff Parker, and a donation will be made in Dottie's memory according to Bill's wishes.

The US SubVets of WW n held their 1991 National Convention in San Antonio, Texas on 4 October in special recognition of World War II submarine Commanding Officers. The Class members thus honored (some accompanied by wives) were; Cy Austin with Sally Clagg Claggett, Slade Cutter with Ruth, Flash Hachsenhar with Marjorie, Gene Fluckey with Margaret, Bill Germershausen with Giimy, Steve Gimber with Betty, Bud Gruner with Sallie, Fritz Harlfinger, Bill Hazzard, Frank Hess with Dorothy, Jack Maurer, Dave McClintock, Ralph Metcalf with Helen, Steiny Steinmetz with Dorothy, and Bub Ward with Lib, for a total of 16 COs out of 58 COs attending, a good percentage!

Other members and representatives of the Class of '35 honored in 1991: (1) Our honorary member of the Class, Gen. Leonard F. (Chappie) Chapman, Jr. USMC (Ret.) was selected to swear in Gen. Carl E. Mundy, Jr USMC as the new Conmiandant of the Marine Corps effective 1 July 1991. (2) on 13 September, the Naval Undersea Museum Preview Center at Keyport, Washington was dedicated and opened to the public, marking a major milestone in the program laid out and pushed by Eli Reich as President of the Naval Undersea Museum Foundation since its establishment in 1979. Appropriately, Jackie Reich dedicated the new Center If scheduled appropriated funds and hoped for contributions are received as anticipated, the Museum itself will be opened to the public in two years. (3) Barbara and Norm Meyer were selected by The Albuquerque Tribune (New Mexico) on 18 July as "Special People," extolling the many hours each spends each week on volunteer service at medical and hospitality centers, libraries and museums, and for their neighbors. (4) Nev Shaffer was selected as a "Golden Poet of 1991" for his poem Seen Through a Glass Darkly. The selection was made by the World of Poetry, an intemational organization of 1.5 million, world wide membership. The presentation was made on 2 September in New York City (5) Phyllis and Rod Badger's son, Dr Reid Badger, was selected by a committee of members of the Alumni, faculty and student body of the Univer78

sity of Alabama, as one of four teachers at that University who, during 1991, made an outstanding commitment to the teaching profession and a major impact on their students. The presentation was made on 24 September, and Phyllis and Rodflewto Tuscaloosa to witness with pride, Reid's acceptance of the award. Reid is a Class of '63 graduate of the Naval Academy.

While on the subject of Rod Badger, on 27-28 September, he, as an N Star recipient in basketball, was invited to attend the first reunion/reception of such, held this time prior to the playing of the first basketball game held in the beautifully equipped Alumni Hall. Rod is the only '35 holder of N Star in basketball still living. Other such holders were: Buster Borries, Art Decker, Dusty Dornin, Bob Mandelkorn, and John Cline.

In mid-September, Gwen and Jesse Gay went to Pinehurst (N.C.) Resort Hotel where Jesse played in the National 75 Clay Court Tennis Championships and came within one game of beating the player who trounced him last year. He then reached thefinalsof the upper level consolations and was happy with the moderate improvement, compared to the previous year. Jesse judged it a week of good tennis. Gwen had to depart at mid-week to attend a Middleburg, Va. wedding, and Jesse then moved to the Econo Lodge for the remainder of the week. On his drive home to Falls Church, Va., Jesse spent the weekend with his daughters in Atlanta, and then he enjoyed an evening with Helen and Ross Freeman at the latter's home in Lynchburg, Va. Winifred and Johnny Middleton regretted not getting to the SubVet's Convention in San Antonio, but they did have Sally and Cy Austin to dinner at their Bellevue, Wash, home on 6 September, and many submarine sea stories were exchanged. The Austins were in the Seattle area visiting their nephew and his wife. Tragedy hit the Middletons on 7 September when their grandson, David D. Williams, Jr died from injuries received in a traffic accident in Oregon. He had left the Middletons' home on the aftemoon of 6 September and was headed for Pasadena, Calif, where he had received a full scholarship and was to start courses at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts on 16 September He was the son of Lee and Capt. David D. Wilhams, USN (Ret.) '62.

The San Diego '35ers continue to hold their stag luncheons on a weekly basis. However, when a small group of C/Ms and wives got together in early August at Peg and Lou Bauers' to greet Ruth and Slade Cutter on the latters' continuation of their aborted Mexican trip (mentioned in the October and November colunms), Lou Bauer was cornered by some of the wives and convinced that there should be more coed parties. So, Lou promptly arranged a joint lunch for 28 August. The good turnout, proving the wives were correct, included: Bea and Roy Bames, Peg and Lou Bauer, Katie and Ralph Baum, Margot and Nick Doukas, Marj and Flash Flachsenhar, Marion and Mason Freeman, Bill Hazzard, Jerry and Jack McCormick, Diane and Red McQuilkin, Norie and Dave Nash, Martha and Joe Penland, Cathy and Marc Peppard. Teeny and Lew Schock, Peggy and Skip Sellers, Pat and Fred Stiesberg, Ginger and Bill Wideman, Irene and J. C. Wilson, and Nona Atkins, Ellie Domin, Ginny Hack and Mary-Jo Harris.

Please note that RAdm. N. G. Ward has moved from Rancho Santa Fe to 5514 Rigel Ct., Atlantic Beach, Fla. 32233.

MIDWAY (CV-41) retumed to San Diego on 14 September after being homeported in Japan for 18 years.

The ComCaiGru One staff had traveled from the West Coast to Pearl Harbor aboard INDEPENDENCE (CV-62) to transfer to MIDWAY which visited Seattie en route San Diego. This permitted a "Tiger Cruise" between the latter two ports, and Lou Bauer joined his son, Capt. Bill, on the CCG Staff for that Cruise.

This was Lou's second such cruise, the first being

in December 1990 between Hawaii and San Diego aboard INDEPENDENCE (April 1991 column). Lou advised this was an easier trip because he didn't have the responsibility for looking after two grandsons, and he aheady knew many of the staff from the previous cruise.

Poppy and Clagg Claggett of Chevy Chase, Md. spent ten days in New London, New Hampshire where they joined Lois and Tom Baskett from Charleston, S.C. and Betty and Steve Gimber from Nashua, for their annual luncheon. Usual attendees, Helen and Norm Gage, dropped by after lunch.

Two copies of our 20-Year Rendezvous, requested in the September column, to fill a gap in the Class records in the Navy Department Library have been received, one each from Margaret McKusick and George Hutchinson. The rapid response to this request is very much appreciated not only by the Navy Department Library but also by your Corr Sec'y who is always happy to have an indication that someone is reading this stuff.

The Class Council's luncheon meeting on 2 October was well attended by: Rod Badger, Jim Baird, Chappie Chapman, Lou Detweiler, Jesse Gay, George Hutchinson, Doyen Klein, Wy Packard, Jeff Parker, George Powell, Eli Reich, Art Tarantino, Bobo Thomson, and Henry Tipton.

Address Change: Nev Shaffer has made a local move to 2404 Wildgrove Drive, Austin, Texas 78704.

Late items: Indirectly, it has been learned that Samuel F. Spencer died on 19 September 1991 in Naples, Florida. (See Last Call item.)

As 1 was about tofinishputting this into the computer at noon on 8 October, a phone call was received from Frank Wheeler in Los Altos Hills, Calif, to report briefly that Mary Lou died in her sleep last night (7-8 October). 1 can't add anything more now.

Next months' column hopefully can conclude this sad item in a manner worthy of this fine lady.

Please note that RAdm. N. G. Ward has moved from Rancho Santa Fe to 5514 Rigel Ct., Atiantic Beach, Fla. 32233.

Ellis USN (Ret.) 4101 Downing St., Annandale, Va. 22003-2017 (703) 256-0159 Merry Christmas to you all. It's hard to believe that December is here and that another year is about to come to a conclusion. Ah, the sweet memories of 55 years ago when we were just beginning to leam about the real Navy afloat and were just the poor little old Ensigns W T Door Speaking of 55 years, the December deadline unfortunately comes two weeks before our 55th Reunion get-together, and so a report on that big event will have to wait the January/February Shipmate. As of this writing some 93 were on the attendance list which should mean a happy meeting for all. Let us hope we have a victory over Delaware on that occasion and that by the time you read this report it will have been another Blue and Gold "Beat Army!" year. Now on with some news.

Rosa and Frank Law were back in town last weekend for dental appointments and a visit with their daughter Cissy. Frank also was up to represent '36 at the dinner and dedication ceremonies honoring Bob Hope and naming of the main hall in Alumni Hall as the Bob Hope Performing Arts Center Frank reported that it was a most enjoyable and entertaining affair. He noted that in the official program and on the bronze plaque at the entrance to Alumni Hall, the Class of 1936 was among those listed as being memShipmate, December 1991

bers of the Trident Society—the society for those Usted as having contributed between fifty and one hundred thousand dollars toward the constmction of the Hall, formeriy known as the Brigade Activities Center He also noted that there still were about 13 chairs left in the M Section assigned to '36 available for dedication name plate inscriptions. Some of you may want to dedicate a seat in your name or that of another Classmate. If so you can do so through the Alumni Association by a $1,000 contribution for a seat which will have an inscribed plate on the arm of the seat carrying the inscription you desire. Give it some thought. As Frank points out, only about 13 seats remain available for dedication. Thanks Frank for your report.

We regret to report that a note from Mart Hoffman said that Bobbie and he would have to miss the 55th. Mart was scheduled for surgery just prior to our meeting, and he anticipated that he would not be ready to make the trip. We will miss the Hoffmans, and hope by the time you read this that Mart will have had a successfiil operation and be back on his feet again, fully recovered.

Pat and Dick Bradley attended the DALY Reunion at Des Plains, 111., back in late September Said they had a wonderful time and that the spwnsor, former Ship's Yeoman Ken Frederick, set up a great program which included a dinner in the Mess Hall and attending a Recruit Graduation at Great Lakes Training Center and a moonlight dinner cruise out of Chicago on Lake Michigan. Great Lakes is our old stamping grounds and college area, and we're well familiar with the moonlight cruises on the lake. So we can fully appreciate why Pat and Dick had a good time.

John Court's note of 3 October advised that the telephones at Atholl had been changed and that his old number (301) 867-0223 would die on 9 October at which time the recording phone would become (301) 867-7137 and the house phone (301) 867-2872. As reported last month, we assume his area code also changed to (410) on 1 November He said his mailing address remained the same.

Tiny Small's letter (30 Sept.) advised that as usual Bela and he had spent the Summer in Europe. Said they had spent a few days in Larnaca, Cyprus, and in Athens, Greece, before going on to Yugoslavia where they arrived on 30 June in Dubrovnik five days after Croatia had declared its independence. With regard to their month's stay in Dubrovnik Tiny had this to say: . . . There were practically no other foreign tourists [in Dubrovnik] except us [in the] 400-room hotel Excelsior [which] had 70 guests, mostly Croatian; we were the two foreigners. In July, we went to Belgrade, Serbia, for a few days. The experience was fine, but as I said before, it lacked fellow tourists.

While in Belgrade we had the opportunity to entertain LCdr. Michael Driggers, USN, (a graduate of North Carolina, a former Carrier pilot, and now Naval Attache for Yugoslavia, Rumania, and Bulgaria, based in Belgrade) and his wife and young daughter in our suite at the Hotel Belgrade International. He provided the Smirnoff Vodka from his own private stock since it was impossible for me to buy any locally and the Embassy only is allowed to sell to its own personnel. Thanks to Michael we had a very enjoyable evening with them in spite of his being very busy in those days keeping up with the intemational situation and the civil unrest in Yugoslavia which were putting heavy demands on his time. . . . We retumed home in August on Swiss Air via Zurich as we have done for several years since we consider it the best airline in spite of the fact that on arrival at JFK Intemational one has to go through the general arrival terminal rather than the Pan Am or TWA special terminals which saves one a lot of time and trouble . . . Our best wishes to Rosa and Frank Law in their new home, and many thanks to Frank for his years of service to' 36 as our President.

Our thanks for the news Tiny We're glad Bela and you were not caught up in all civil turmoil going on in Shipmate, December 1991

Yugoslavia.

Through the Alumni Association we leamed that Randolph Scott Dewey Lockwood (as previously reported) participated as a Pearl Harbor survivor in the Symposium "The Gathering Storm" sponsored by the Admiral Nimitz Museum on 9-10 May. Approximately 2,000 participants were present to hear Randy and the other Speakers on the program. Also when Queen Elizabeth II visited San Antonio on 21 May 1991, Randy, who is a recognized historian of note, furnished a member of the Queen's entourage with proof of Her Majesty's descent from San Femando for whom the old Catholic Cathedral in San Antonio is named. According to Randy the descent is through Ferdinand 111 of Castile and Leon who died in 1252.

His daughter Eleanor of Castile married Edward 1 of England. In addition to the foregoing. Randy also was scheduled to speak to the San Antonio Chapters of the Sons of the American Revolution (12 Sept.) and the Ladies of the Thistle (5 Oct.) on the subject "John Paul Jones, The Sailor-Scot."

Tom Reed's note (24 Sept.) forwarded a copy of an article by Staff Writer Gabrielle deGroot entitled "A Son's Mission: Clear Dad of Blame for Pearl Harbor" which appeared in the 23 September Annapolis The Capital. We wish we could share the entire article with you, but excerpts from it will be of interest to all familiar with Tom Kimmel's efforts to clear his father of blame for Pearl Harbor and to have his father's rank restored. As presented by deGroot we found the following excerpts from the interview of interest: Retired Navy Captain Thomas K. Kimmel opened a file drawer in his study and took out two thick folders.

One contained documents—hundreds of them— outlining the events leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.

The other, almost as thick, contained letters pleading for the vindication of the Commander-inChief of the United States and Pacific fleets at the time, a man who was saddled with the entire blame for the attack.

It has been a long and lonely campaign for the Annapolis man, himself a 29-year Navy veteran and a 1936 Naval Academy graduate . . . . The Commander-in-Chief, then Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, was his father For almost 50 years, the charges levied against the elder Mr Kimmel have hung over the family like a black cloud.

I can understand that they needed a scapegoat to take the heat off the administration, the younger Mr. Kimmel said with a sigh, but you wonder why, 50 years later, they need to blame anyone . . . I know the facts, and my kids know, but my grandchildren don't know. That's why I'm doing this, to set the record straight—because some of the things they are taught in school are just plain wrong.

In 1986, the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association presented Tom Kimmel with a plaque recognizing that his father was not to blame for the attack. In 1988, Tom and his brother requested SecNav to have their father's rank restored, but SecDef declined to forward the request to the President. Subsequently, additional requests were made but none managed to pass SecDef. In August of this year the Undersecretary of the Navy denied another request, and thus Tom and his brother tumed to the Naval Academy for support. As a result, a petition circulated during the 10th Naval History Symposium in September was signed by 74 people and it was to be submitted directly to President Bush. Recently in conversation with Tom he told us, "They haven't given us any reason why they will not clear Dad's name. I just don't know why the Navy has been so adamant about not doing anything about this. In December 1 will be going to Hawaii for a week-long ceremony commemorating the 50th anniversary of Pearl Harbor Hopefully, something will happen out there. We haven't given up yet!"

We wish Tom and his brother the very best success in their continued endeavor and that this time their

efforts will get through to the President.

With the Yuletide upon us, we had hoped to end this month on a happy note. However, such is not the case. We regret to report that Jack Turner, a longtime resident of "Dolphins" in Sandhills, N . C , died at the Moore Regional Hospital, Pinehurst, N . C , on 17 September of post-operative complications after a long period of illness. The son of a naval officer and a submarine pioneer, Jack upon completing his JO assignments and Sub School at New London, Conn., was assigned to duty in Pearl Harbor where he met and married the former Helen Alice Blair Subsequently, Jack spent WW 11 on numerous submarine patrols in the Pacific for which he was awarded the Navy Cross, two Silver Stars, and the Bronze Star for valor among many other decorations. Following a memorial service in Pinehurst, Jack's ashes were brought to Arlington National Cemetery for inurnment in the new Columbarium with full military honors on 24 September Present for these ceremonies were family. Classmates, and friends. Besides Helen, Jack is survived by sons John Jr. and Blair, both residents of the Roanoke, Va., area, to whom we all express our deepest sympathy. Classmates and friends may send personal notes of condolence to Helen at the home address: "Dolphins," Warrior Woods, Route 3, Box 200, Carthage, N.C. 28327. Memorial contributions may be sent to the Dolphins Scholarship Foundation, 405 Dillingham Blvd., Norfolk Naval Station, Norfolk, Va. 23511.

That's all the news for now, and again a very merry Christmas to you all. May Santa be good to you.

Pres., Capt. A. H. Soucek USN (Ret.) Sec'y-Treas., RAdm. D. G. Baer USN (Ret.) Corr Sec'y RAdm. John R. Wadleigh USN (Ret.) 313 Swan's Wharf Row, Brick Market Place Newport, R.I. 02840 For this column, being published fifty years after the Pearl Harbor attack here are some more memories from Classmates. Bob Erly recorded his memories in a Naval Institute oral history stating: I was a in destroyer CASSIN (DD-372) at the time

and not having the duty, was at the beach at Ewa with friends that Sunday moming. We became aware of gunfire but couldn't fathom what was going on until we saw two navy planes flying towards us followed by a third which we saw had the Rising Sun on the wings. I left with a group, not having my own car; We were able to convince an unwilling Honolulu sanitation worker to take us to the Navy Yard where CASSIN along with sister ship DOWNES, and battleship PENNSYLVANIA were in

drydock. Fires were burning on all ships, but no organized damage control effort was visible. We grabbed a Sub Base firetruck and started hosing down the stern of DOWNES near her depth charges.

Three of us were manning the hose, but I thought as we sat atop the charges, "hell there's no sense in all three of us being blown!" Weighing 200 pounds I was able to hold the hose and send the two SubBase sailors to hook up another line. Staying there for what seemed forever, I discovered I could lash my hose down to a stanchion. I went off to expedite getting another line as men from the PENNSYLVANIA came lo give us a hand. Soon the dock was flooded and that's when CASSIN toppled over. We lost everything but fortunately no crew members were killed.

Bob's story has been considerably reduced, but his work that day resulted in a Letter of Commendation from the Heet Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Nimitz.

In the floating drydock at Pearl Harbor was destroyer SHAW (DD-373). Ralph Benson has written about his experiences with that ship in which Classmate John Neel was also embarked as Destroyer Division 6 paymaster 79

Dotie and I with daughter Barbara, were living in a Dewey Court cottage next to Fort DeRussey at Waikiki Beach. Our daughter was 9 months old that Sunday and we planned a drive around Oahu for a beach picnic. I was up early cleaning the car's fuel lines which were all over our lawn, when we heard gunfire to the West as we had breakfast. Big me, knowledgeable of war plans, announced that this was probably some sudden maneuver in Pearl. We did not have our radio on as a neighbor called and said he'd pick me up in 10 minutes. So it was off to war, leaving a disabled car. We reached the Com 14 Headquarters and heard a tremendous explosion in the drydock. "Torpedoes going off," I thought. Actually it was SHAWS'S forward magazine. The crew had gotten off and were taking shelter from further explosions. The floating drydock was a mess and partly sunken as we got aboard to put out fires, recover bodies from the forward part of SHAW, and get them to the hospital. By that night our crew were at the Receiving Station and those of us with homes in Pearl were told to go home. Dotie and Barbara had been evacuated from Waikiki, and I found them at Peggy and Jack Carroll's. He was assigned to CUMMINGS which was at sea by aftemoon. The next day I was able to get some khaki uniforms. All mine were lost in SHAW. TWO days later I was sent to destroyer CASE which joined SARATOGA at sea in a carrier task group.

One more survivor from ships in drydock was Charlie Burch, starting his fifth year in flagship PENNSYLVANIA. He writes that he was shaving before going to church, looked out his porthole and saw the Jap planes just as Air Defense was sounded: The ship already had ammunition at the guns in ready boxes, and we fired through both attacks, getting a few planes. We were in the big drydock with CASSIN and DOWNES just ahead and about halfway through the attack, when high-level bombers hit.

The destroyers were badly damaged. We were hit by a bomb which exploded just below my stateroom, wrecking my room, and killing about 250 including our First Lieutenant. We were firing until about noon that day. I'll never forget it.

Charlie remained in PENNSYLVANIA until mid-1945, a record for a Classmate—from Junior Division Officer to Gun Boss, an historic eight-year tour!

From Don Huey, who was about to become Officer of the Day for the USMC's 1st Base Defense Battalion at Pearl Harbor has come his memories: As I entered the barracks to take over duties, I saw a single-engine plane diving towards the Navy Yard. I assumed it was one of our's as we were adjacent to Hickam Field. I then saw the Jap insignia and heard explosions. As fast as we could we dashed from the barracks to storage areas to get small arms and ammo. Our 3" and 5" artillery shells were stored at LuiLuiLei ammunition depot. We tried as best we could to get ready for a long battle. My part of the battalion was shipped to Johnson Island late in December The rest of the battalion had been on Wake Island since October Margaret and our five month old daughter were in a Honolulu church with the family of another Marine officer They foolishly started driving out to Pearl but were stopped halfway out. They saw much of the bombing from there. We did have a bullet hole in our house when I was able to get back that Tuesday. Transportation home for Margaret and daughter Kay was delayed until April, and a few months later I went back for flight training at Pensacola.

Will have stories from Harry Hahn, Tony Zavadil, Vic Wildt, and Dutch Doerflinger in a future issue, stories from the cruisers in Pearl Harbor Yard that day. Thanks, Bob, Ralph, Charlie, and Don for your contributions.

Walt Barry reported from the Tidewater area that hurricane "Bob" only brushed them and then recalled hurricane "Carol" in Newport when he commanded destroyer MCCARD bouncing alongside YOSEMITE up at Melville. Mary added a note saying "I was alone at Castle Hill with 4 little ones." The Barrys will be retuming to Cocoa Beach this month, but exact address depends on negotiations with Florida's real estate lobby

Jim Cruse sent in a clipping about Birney Strong's mother, who died recentiy at the tender age of 99 in Washington, a pillar of the D.A.R. the Colonial Dames, and the National Cathedral.

Curt Kelly is in the Veterans Hospital at Perry Point, Md., and Betty, whose address is 41 Mount Royal Ave., Aberdeen, Md. 21001 has written to thank all of us for good wishes sent, noting, "It is a real boost to know that there are those who think of us and keep us in their prayers."

Gene Rankin toured the Baltic on board liner ROYAL PRINCESS in August, sailing from Tilbury Docks in London. Among the group he went with was Eloise Davis, who in Gene's words was "a blessing in disguise for she had been to nearly all the places the cruise stopped and acted as my personal toiu guide." The cruise took them to Copenhagen, Leningrad, Helsinki, Stockholm, and Amsterdam, with two days in Leningrad and one day in the other ports. Quotes from Gene's letter: In Leningrad we had to stay with tours as we did not have visas and surrendered our passports to the Russian soldier at the gangway—then we were in the hands of our tour guide who herded us through churches, palaces, etc. It was relatively painless and the guides, mostly women, were knowledgeable in discussions about Russia. The black market flourished! Their Beryozka shops ("The dollar stores") took credit cards as well as dollars. Although wamed to be careful taking photographs there seemed to be no objections by anyone we wanted to photograph. We were almost part of history as we left Leningrad two days before the coup.

Thanks for the first hand info on a changing nation.

Gene. What differences from the cruise Ray and 1 made in the Summer of 1978!

Ed Arentzen brought Marcia's ashes back to the Naval Academy for inumment in the Columbarium on 9 September, writing: U.S.N.A. services were conducted by Chaplain Kamey, attended by both my sisters, six of 1937, and both my daughters and four grandchildren. The Class flowers were prominent and the family was able to admire our 1937 Monument in front of the Columbarium. Afterwards a reception was held at Rear Admiral Randy King's house ('45). I'm now visiting my younger daughter in Newton, Mass., not far from where Marcia and I spent many years of the 50 plus we were allowed together Hold the course and keep revvin', Ed. You are in our thoughts these days.

Hank Burfiend who was aboard PILLSBURY in the Asiatic Fleet in December 1941, again leads our birthday list for December Happy days to him and the following other celebrants located 50 years ago as shown: Ed Pace (Staff of ComScoFor in Indianapolis), Ace Barton (VCS-7 in VINCENNES), Walt Barry (OMAHA), Zeke Soucek (RANGER), Dale Lyke (Naval Hospital San Diego), Ard Grantham (Bremerton Navy Yard), Gene Rankin (VP-81), Fred Wexel (Instruction at NAS Pensacola), Guy Narter (1st Marine Division), Ed Scofield (NAS Corpus Christi), Jack Whistler (VP-32), Jim Grey (WASMUTH) and Dutch Doerflinger (VCS-9 in HELENA).

A note from Bill Sims brought news of the death of Classmate Bill Stevens, Capt. USN (Ret.) at Coronado on 31 August. Bill had been in poor health for some time and succumbed to pneumonia. I have written to Kitty (1330 Glorietta Blvd., Comado, Calif.

92118) expressing our sympathy. There were no memorial services, and Frank Shamer is sending in a Last Call for Shipmate. Bill, a third batter at USNA, won his wings in 1941 and was in multi-engine aircraft through his nearly thirty years of service. Many will remember him and Kitty at that great 45th reunion sponsored by the San Diego Group.

Via Larry Brantley has come word that Classmate Keith Robertson ("KC"), Capt. USNR (Ret.) died at Hopewell, N.J. on 23 September. Betty Robertson died last November and at the moment 1

have no word on location of his son and two daughters. Keith served the war years as a destroyerman in both oceans and in civilian life was a well known author of children's books, living for many years at BooknoU Farm in Hopewell. Memorial services are scheduled for mid October and his ashes will be scattered on the Robertson farm as were Betty's last year.

Word from Annappolis via Charlie Minter is that 55th Reunion plans are moving ahead on schedule. A letter to all hands and widows requesting intentions on attendance will be sent out about the first of the year. The reunion is slated for 8 thru 10 September 1992 and the reunion committee has booked a block of rooms in an Annapolis hotel near the Naval Academy. They have also reserved space in the newly completed, beautiful Alumni Hall for at least two 1937 functions. Charlie notes, "this should be a great affair and earlier canvassing of the Class indicates a big turnout."

Make your plans early. Classmates, as this column ends with Christmas Greetings to all—GO NAVY— BEAT ARMY on the 7th, and Keep Rewin' with '37.

Pres., RAdm. Robert W. McNitt USN (Ret.) Chairman, Washington Area, Capt. Jim Andrews USN (Ret.) Sec'y, Capt. Snowden Arthur USN (Ret.) 4600 Ashby St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20007 A message from Ohio, arriving on the last day before the Shipmate deadline, told of the death of Classmate Andros (Andy) Olah of Mentor, Ohio, on 9 October Andy's funeral took place two days later in Dayton, Ohio. Andy is survived by his wife Charlotte, his daughter Michelle and by one son, James.

At the Naval Academy Andy had an illustrious career as a varsity tumbler on the gym team, as captain of the cheerleaders, as artist and cartoonist for both the Log and Trident, and as a member of several other groups and committees. Academically, Andy was undistinguished except for a 4.0 grade in Plebe Steam, which made him numero uno. His abihty in spatial visualization was phenomenal, accounting for his prowess in steam and the visual arts, and later entering into his successful career as a consulting engineer My most vivid image of Andy comes from a party which we both attended about twenty years after graduation. He was doing back aerial somersaults from a standing position on a hardwood floor to the great delight of several mildly inebriated guests.

Here is a report from Bob MacNitt: I have the sad duty to report the death of our Classmate and my roommate and lifelong friend John Bliss on 23 September I represented our Class at his memorial service on 6 October at the Church of the Apostle in Lancaster, Penna. The blue and goldflowerssent by the Class were displayed alongside a picture of John as a midshipman, and were greatly appreciated by his family and friends.

John resigned during our Second Class year to complete his BS degree in Mechanical Engineering at Lehigh University, returning to Annapolis from time to time on his motorcycle to spend the night in his old room and marching in formation in his old uniform to the mess hall.

He worked for Bethlehem Steel for 12 years becoming Assistant Superintendent of the Saucon Plant, and then took his wife Peddle and 3 children to Chile to help build and ran an integrated steel plant at Concepcion for Cia. Acero del Pacifico. For 25 years before his retirement, he worked for US Metals Refining Co. in Cartaret, N.J., rising to Plant Manager and Vice President.

John and I bought a Buick roadster for $20.00, intending to drive to North Dakota on leave. We left Annapolis after noon formation on Saturday and had two flats and a dead battery before we got to BaltiShipmate, December 1991

more. TTie fan bearing went next, so we took off the fan and the hood and threw them into the ramble seat. The engine quit about every 15 minutes until we discovered that we could keep it going by running alongside the car and blowing into the gas cap tofillthe carburetor bowl. This problem was fixed during the night at Havre de Grace by putting a 5 gallon can full of gas in the front seat with a hose leading directly to the carburetor By noon Sunday, having been driving 20 hours with about 4 hours of sleep in the car, we had managed to get as far as Camden N.J. when a connecting rod bearing burned out due to a cracked engine block leaking water into the crankcase. Pulling into a junkyard, John borrowed a chain hoist and some wrenches, installed a junkyard piston and rod, and off we went again. We arrived at my father's house in Perth Amboy, N.J. at 2 a.m. Monday.

We sold the car for $20 to an unsuspecting junkyard and borrowed the family Model A Ford for the rest of the trip to North Dakota. That was our John, a man who couldfixanythingfroma watch to a rolling mill and regularly did.

He was a wonderfiil man, very successfiil in tiis chosen profession, admired for his modesty, competence and self reliance by a host of friends, and loved by his close family to the youngest of his 12 grandchildren. The words in his eulogy speak for us all: "His was a life well lived."

Two unexpected Classmates showed up for the September limcheon of the Washington Group— Rett Trickey and Wick Alford. Rett's wife Peggy is still suffering from Alzheimer's in a home at Mechanicsburg, Penna. Kay Alford is suffering from a blood imbalance. The two husbands seemed okay.

Wick regaled us with several amusing stories including one from his days in BuPers in 1951. At lunch with Ed Luby, Wick asked Ed about his alleged membership in the Green Bowlers. Ed replied, "Now Wick, do I look like somebody who would give preference?"

Chet Owen sang a swan song at this luncheon. In November Jim Andrews will relieve him as Chairman of the Washington Group.

We were all glad to leam of the successful outcome of Ray DuBois' operation for cancer of the kidney.

Bob Carter gave a rerun of his video presentation at the Class picnic and added a short musical quiz.

Classmates were asked to identify two unnamed tunes, which tumed out to be "The Music Goes Down and Around" (a radio hit during our 2nd class Summer) and "These Foolish Things Remind Me of You," a favorite of Guy Lombardo, whose orchestra played at our Ring Dance.

From La Mesa, Calif., came a note from Randy Klippel reporting that he and Dolores had just retumed from a NORTHAMPTON reunion, which consisted of a 4-night cruise to the Bahamas out of Port Everglades, Ha. The Klippel's visited Marg and Irv Superfine who live in Hollywood, Fla. Randy wrote that "You would be amazed at the number of civic activities Irving is engaged in, on city council subcommittees, M.O.O.W, Navy League, etc." Randy mentioned that there will be a reunion of RALEIGH (CL-7), whose members are meeting in Reno, Nevada, May 18-21, of next year.

Jesse and Dan Harrington report on their latest trip: Mach 2.0, altitude 58,000 feet, outside air temperature ( - )50 degrees Centigrade, and a speed of 1300 mph was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, spell CONCORDE. Five days in London afforded an opportunity to see the Imperial War Museum. Churchill's underground operations center, and other sights missed on previous trips. Thefive-daypassage home in QUEEN ELIZABETH II was the epitome of

craise ship living. Ten fabulous days with no rain, or even fog. in London.

Lt. Dennis F Yeatman, SC, USN '83, Midshipman Financial Advisor at the Naval Academy, recently uncovered a compilation of Midshipmen Budget Books dating back to 1929. The originals of these books were sent to the Naval Academy Archives in

Shipmate, December 1991

Preble Hall. Lt. Yeatman sent me a copy of the Budget Book for fiscal year 1938, signed by Forde A. Todd '04, Commandant of Midshipman, and approved by D. F. Sellers '94, Superintendent. According to this book our monthly pay was $65.00 of which .30 went to the Cobbler Shop, 1.00 to Mess Hall Service, 3.00 to Laundry, .45 to Barber, 3.50 to Tailor Shop, .20 to Hospital Fund, and 10.00 to Monthly Money (if drawn). During the Academic Year 1991-1992 Gross Pay had risen to $543.90 and monthly cash for 1/C to 325. Laundry and Personal Services were 59 and Books (per semester) 250. Service Dress Blues had become 250 and the coast of Initial Issue from the Midshipman's Store 2350.00.

Report from Northem Califomia.

Ruth and Gid Boyd joined with Kitty Woodworth Williams and Ed Williams and arranged the Northem Califomia quarterly gathering, for lunch, at the Oak Knoll Officers' Club, on 11 September Unfortunately, Gid came down with the flu just before the party and did not make it. Also missed were Pat and Jack Newton, who, according to Carla Rovetta, were staying home for routine medical tests. Kitty credited George Bourland with his usual help in getting out the quarterly flier, but George graciously states that Gid and Kitty had done the bulk of the work.

Present were: George and Petey Bourland, John and Carlotta Burrill, with Carlotta's daughter, Carla Allison, Jim and Sally Douglas, Charles and Beverly Hart, John Dale and Shura Hodapp, who came about 210 miles from Chico, George and Lorrette Neel, Larry Pierce, Carlo and Winnie Rovetta, Nate and Maria Sonenshein, and Ed and Kitty Woodworth Williams.

George Bourland told me that his "minor" skin cancer operation had been successful. John Dale Hodapp is donating his own blood for a coming protate surgery, to remove a malignancy.

Our next gathering will be on 7 December at Bud Wolfe's beautiful Peninsula Country Club to watch the Army-Navy game. That date brought forth some memories.

Kitty Woodworth Williams told of being in Waikiki with the radio announcing that the Japanese were bombing the island of Oahu. Mrs. Woodworth, Harry's mother, was present, and stalked into the room, asking, "Where is the island of Oahu?"

John Burrill added that the Navy also did not know the location of Pearl Harbor as his papers promoting him to Lt. (jg) has been mismailed to the Cavite Naval Shipyard; even though he was on duty at the Pearl Harbor Shipyard. Presumably these papers were bumed up at Cavite, thus explaining why that big promotion was delayed until 24 December 1941 (a nice Christmas present). Burrill is mailing Kitty the address to send her personal Pearl Harbor story for inclusion in a book being published by the Pearl Harbor Survivors Ass'n and the Tumer Publishing Co. Paducah, Kent. 42002-30101.

Larry Pierce commended George Bourland for his letter advocating that we change from a representative democracy to a pure democracy a la Switzerland.

Pres., Capt. George Duncan USN (Ret.) Box 123, St. Mary's, Md. 20686 Sec'y Capt. William J. Ruhe USN (Ret.) 1310 MacBeth Ave., McLean, Va. 22102 At the 2 October monthly meeting of 39ers in Washington, wives and widows were a very important part of the 72-person luncheon. "Get Well" cards were signed for Betty Schwab who'd had a serious stroke and Bob Gulick, a heart attack from which

he's recovering nicely DeWitt Patterson was wearing his kilts having just come from the flineral of one of his St. Andrews Society friends. Bud Schumann reported that his brother-in-law Bing Gillette was missing the luncheon because he'd gotten two broken ribs when half the players in the Alumni basketball game at the new Brigade Center fell on top of him in a violent collision. Earlier I'd been told by a Class of '56 player that "this little old guy—more than seventy years old and I think out of the Class of '39— played at least ten minutes and seemed determined to get the ball up to the basket and score a goal but the collision wiped him out." (So much for '39 playing basketball against "the kids.") Bob Laney, who had also signed up for the 27 September game, had to cancel at the last minute. It was also mentioned that the Mayor of Annapolis, from the old days, said "I never missed a game when Gillette was playing in it.

He's still my favorite basketball player" (Fifty years later?) Paul Schratz suggested that "after the Star Spangled Banner is sung at the Air Force game, instead of yelling 'Beat Army' we just be satisfied with a 'Beat somebody' cheer"

Coulter, Fairchild, Henrietta and Panu Schratz

The Adams', Duncan, Betty Rudden, Mae Coleman, and Estelle Fairchild

The Balchs, Loustaunaus, and Mae Coleman

George Duncan mentioned that he'd been at the Brigade Center when the Bob Hope theater was dedicated by Bob Hope and that when Bob was heckled by the Plebes who were seated in the theater behind him, he quipped, "This should be a revolving stage I'm standing on so that I can take those guys on who are behind me." (As previously reported, the stage was financed by '39, but does NOT rotate.) George also mentioned a study which showed that '39ers got $11 a month pay as First Classmen whereas today's

81

First Classman gets $325 a month.

George also firmed up plans for a '39 twelve-day Mediterranean Cruise in CROWN ODYSSEY, starting

7 October, 1992 (responding to the "Let's have a big reunion in 1992 and not wait for the 55th when the Class will be too decimated"). When George told of the cmise. Rhythm Moore asked if the cruise ship has "a Greek captain." And when Dubrovnik was mentioned as a port of call. Rhythm questioned whether there'd be anything left of that city to see. At which Stan Claypoole said "At least we can see the ruins."

I mentioned to Rhythm that he looked about five pounds lighter To this he responded, "No. I'm just wearing a bigger suit."

Shamer, Balch, and Norton

Grabb, Norton, and Mrozinski

There was a good turn-out of the Annapolis contingent: Schratz's, Robertshaw, Coulters, Balch's, West's and Norton. When Hemietta Schratz was asked for details on her catered dinner for the Class after the Homecoming Delaware game, she said "Don't call me for details. I'm leaving tomorrow for Califomia to welcome aboard our 24th grandchild."

At the luncheon, Carolyn Anderson not only made all the luncheon arrangements but also acted as MC for the absent Danny Weitzenfeld who was still in Switzerland "visiting our grandchildren." Carolyn started the program with "No one can compete with Danny, so today Flip and I are trying a new angle."

She said because so many of the Class were celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary this past Summer she first wanted a show of hands of those who'd already celebrated their 50th. Up went the hand of Kuntz, West, Wood, Green, Coleman, Schratz and Ruhe, (and 1 had a note from Mimi Rawson that they'd had theirs on 1 June before Raspy's death and a note from Jack Reigart saying they'd had theirs on 23 June). Then Carolyn described her program.

She'd asked seven anonymous '39 authors to tell about how they made their proposal of marriage— way back then. Each unsigned anecdote was read by someone at the luncheon and thefirstperson to guess what couple was involved in the anecdote was awarded a can of Clyde's chili. And the best anecdote was awarded a Lenox china dish. The anecdote read

by Stan Claypoole was identified by Butch Coulter as telling the story of the marriage proposal made by 82

Paul Loustaunau to Ronnie. "Why Butch?" "Because 1 was best man at their wedding and knew all about their courtship." Her Fairchild read the second anecdote and I called out "That's Ned Beach's story," winning a can of chili. DeWitt Patterson's reading of an anecdote identified Bob Green's approach to getting married. And the anecdote read by Pete Steen was identified by Ronnie Loustaunau as involving Carol and Bill Ruhe. How did you guess, Ronnie? "Because at their 40th party I remember their telling about how Johnny Harper had tried to get Bill to meet Carol all through his midshipman days. But Bill didn't meet her until Johnny's wedding where Bill was the best man and Carol a bridesmaid.

She had the bride's bouquet hurled at her and caught it easily, causing Johnny to say 'Now you've got to marry her!'" (Very subtle.)

At the end of this contest, Carolyn Anderson mentioned how Flip Anderson had made his proposal, and when she accepted Flip had noted that he had only one day available for the marriage and that he'd have to proceed directly to his next duty station.

When Flip said, as Carolyn related it, "Do you have any problem of going on our honeymoon on a 'dead horse'?" Carolyn, who didn't know what a "dead horse" was, felt that she wasn't quite sure she should risk such a means of transportation on her honeymoon. (Get it?)

Tom Weschler writes: "How awful are the large number of deaths (noted in this column). Each month impresses us with our mortality. While I was in Erie, Penna. 1 was put in touch with William Sheppard O'Kelly, a Classmate who dropped out of sight. But he's alive and well at 882 Venture Out, Mesa, Ariz.

Jack Reigart sent a few clippings about the death of Lou Roddis and reported that Dottie and he plus Dottie and Bob Laney were the only '39ers to attend Lou's funeral in Charleston. "Jim McBrayer was out of town on 21 September and wasn't able to attend the service in St. Michaels Episcopal Church. After the service, when Bob Laney wanted to come by and see the family (they are Godparents of one of the children) they (the family) were all leaving on a boat to take thera out into Charleston Harbor to spread Lou's ashes over the water" Judy Reaves in a newsy letter hadrauchClass news of interest. She told of Sigmund Bobczynski's last days and of his funeral: Sigmund died in his sleep one moming right after his son Tommy announced to him that he and his long-time live-in girl friend had gotten married (in her non-Catholic church—but married). His last words to Tommy were "Congratulations." I believe Sigmund held on 'til Tommy got married. The Mass was IVi hours long, lots of rosaries and lots of gifts placed in the OPEN coffin by all 17 grandchildren, no crying, just participation, love and admiration.

Fifteen Classmates with wives were there.

Then Judy mentioned that "Hap Jolly and his true Pearl have moved to a new home, redone for the wheel chair He continues to be a miracle and her kids regard him as Dad." Also that "Alex Hooper continues to improve and he and Louise go out for lunch together and he drives a little." Judy noted that "Dunny Reilly made a fantastic 3-week voyage with his recently married son Kevin and wife from San Diego to Honolulu on a sailboat," and that "Hank is in wonderful shape, absolutely NO sign of cancer on his vocal chords or throat."

Lee Snilsberg wrote: "1 always enjoy Shipmate so 1 can keep informed as to what my Classmates are doing. Living in a small town in Minnesota puts us somewhat out of the mainstreara of Naval activities.

As for 50th Wedding Anniversaries, Loretta and I celebrated ours on 14 June which appropriately is the day we run up the flag."

Mimi Rawson noted that Raspy's obitiiary failed to say that "any memorials could be made to 'The Bill Rawson Memorial Scholarship Fund' in care of the Northern Trust Bank, Lake Forest, III. 60045, Attention Mr Moss."

Lee Goolsby's sudden death from a heart attack occurred while he was out jogging near his home in Louisville, Ky. The news, called in by Lee's roommate at the Naval Academy, Luther Reynolds, was a real shock. I played tennis with Lee as his partner in the Washington government tennis league for quite a few years. Together, we'd always win thefirstset quite easily. Then Lee would start trying all sorts of putaway shots—spraying the ball all around, and making it tough to close out the match with a win.

But he was fun to play with and a great competitor He'll be missed very much.

Then 1 got the news on 1 October that Gene Hayward had died up in Syracuse. Remembering how I'd take the whole family to the skifieldhe and Noble Harris bought and managed during the fifties—just South of Syracuse, N.Y. —I've been interested in his well-being ever since. Adele Shumway reported on his funeral service, noting that Jean and Max Kerns from Brewster, Mass. picked up Janice Harris, Gene's sister, and brought her to the funeral which also had Dorothy and Bill Moore of Skaneatelas in attendance. (Adele, in a PS. wrote: "I'm going to be a great grandmother in January, kindness of Re-Pete, Class of '88.") Adele's comment about Gene's death was to the effect that "I'm getting so 1 rather dislike Shipmate for having to print such depressing news as Gene's death."

NEWS FROM HERE AND THERE Capt. Ed Conrad '38 forwards from Castine, Maine, a 15 August '91 news item from the Bangor Daily News: Maine Maritime Academy will honor a former superintendent Friday, Aug. 16. with the dedication of Edward A. Rodgers Hall on the waterfront campus.

The building is being named for Rear Adm. Edward A. Rodgers of Bucksport who served as superintendent of the maritime college from 1964 to

Phoebe and Russ Merrill with twin grandchildren Emma and Burton at Golden Wedding Anniversary 1984. Now known as Bagaduce Hall, the building includes steam and diesel power plant simulators, an electricity laboratory, a machine shop, and faculty offices. Rodgers, a 1940 graduate of the Naval Academy, joined the Castine college after a 24-year naval career Under his leadership, Maine Maritime had unprecedented growth in academic programs and campus development, including $12 million in new constmction. He upgraded the curriculum and led the academy to full membership in the New England Association of Schools and Colleges . . .

Ed was present for the event together with ". . . Ted's and Marguerite's children, . . . grandchildren and Ted's brother . . . ." He adds, ". . . I t was indeed a gala that was enjoyed by all who were present . . . ."

In a note from Ted Rodgers: "Frost was on the pumpkin last night (9/21/91) and my lake swimming for this year ended last Thursday so the time has come to think South. We plan to leave in late Oct. so as to be in Florida by Nov. 1st . . . ."

A continuation of Caryl & Art Varnum's annual West coast report: . . . Before JWW (June Week West) we visited friends in Telluride, Colo.; the . . . photo shows Art and Caryl at the confluence of the North and South forks of the San Miguel River in the San Juan mountains. After JWW we visited our daughter, Ann, her husband and two grandsons (home from graduate schools) in Durango, Colo. It was a really fine trip! . . ."

We hope and pray that Mary is back home and healthy in Solana Beach, Calif., foUowmg this latest hospitalization. Could this be a case for Chemotherapyl Warren "Hooky" Walker of Ardmore, Penna., forwarded a Portland Press Herald of Maine obituary he had received from a long-time friend in Falmouth.

It reported the death on 24 September of Ray Koshliek at his home in Cumberland Foreside, Maine. Although a Life Member of the Alunmi Association Ray's life after retirement from the Navy in 1960 revolved aroimd his duties in the family-owned John J. Nissen Baking Co., his family, and a condo in Horida. Condolences from the Class go to his widow Shirley Rae Nissen Koshliek of the home address, and to his son, J. Mark Koshliek of Falmouth.

THE SECRETARY'S CORNER There are some families carried in the Class Roster that commimicate only rarely with Classmates, Alunmi House or the secretary. So, sadly, we hear of their deaths long after the fact, if at all. Good friend of midshipman and ENTERPRISE ('40-'42) days, Fancho Hunker, died 7 February 1983. We leamed of his death only weeks earlier. Now, one of his daughters has notified Alumni House that Pancho's widow Kean has passed on; no dgte, no location, no cause given. It's on days like this that the secretary feels he has a lousy job.

On the other hand—hearty thanks to those that do take the trouble to pass the word along . . . however imhappy the task! God bless you. * * * * ONLY FORTY IS 4.0! * * * *

President and Secretary Capt. Victor Delano USN (Ret.) 7111 Pyle Rd., Bethesda, Md. 20817 Last month I told you that pictures would surely be coming from the July West Coast party at Mil and Bill Jones's which those there greatly enjoyed. Here they are. The wandering Dzuras have been doing just that. While we were having our 50th, they were en route by sea from Califomia to New York. On 7 June, while we were banqueting, they were opposite AnnapoUs headed for Ambrose Light, reaching New York City the next day. They had contemplatedflyingfrom St. Thomas to Maryland on 5 June but a bug interfered. Ed had special praise for the Golden Lucky Bag and added an "amen" to the last Une of Lloyd DeLatour's write-up, "Thanks for the memories."

With much regret, I must pass along the sad news that our esteemed Classmate, Herbert H. "Andy" Anderson, died last September after a brave and difficult struggle with cancer Those who visited with him at our 50th reunion were treated to a remarkable display of cheerfulness, optimism and courage. Even up to the very end, Andy was making plans to be at the October Homecoming. I had the good fortune to visit him and Meg in their lovely home in Kingsmill (near Williamsburg) a few times so I was aware of what he was up against and was deeply moved by his wonderfiil, brave attifiide. Andy's funeral service at Arlington was most impressive. We have lost a super Classmate and I have lost a special friend. I know that Meg has the sympathy and understanding of everyone of us. I must also tell you that our Classmate, Robert F. McGuire, has died but I have no details.

Bob did not graduate with us but to his widow, Barbara, goes our sincere condolences.

Walt Stegemerten enclosed a note with his ballot reminding everyone that while his last name appeared in the 50th Reunion literature with three different spellings that he is indeed one and the same and STEGEMERTEM is the right one.

Muff and Jim Borop retumed to their Decatiu", Dl., home in mid-September from a two months "working vacation" with their older daughter in England. She is married to a british Cambridge University professor (who was in Australia during then visit) and working on a thesis toward a degree and license to practice in clinical psychology. As their house had subsided and was in the process of being lebuilt, they had to cope with two seasons growth of stinging netties (which Jim tackled) and miscellaneous weeds which Muff handled while doing the cooking and both had a busy and happy time with the grandchildren.

Bob Connor spent the first two weeks of September in Ireland tracing his roots before getting back home and catching up with his mail. In considering the choices for the next reunion. Bob came up with a new twist as a resuh of a brief cruise off the coast of Maine in August and a visit to the Castine area. He had appeared as a commencement speaker at the Maine Maritime Academy some 12 years ago as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Ted Rogers '40, had served as Superintendent and for some 20 years the Class of '40 has held a two-week reunion there which Bob suggests we might look into rather than waiting five years for the next one and finding fewer Classmates who could attend.

Peggy and Harry Rice and Mary and Hank Sweitzer finally got together in AUentown, Peima., at one of the many great restaurants in the environs. It was quite a treat for the Rices since the Sweitzers are great travelers (including all the Navy home games) and there is little Navy activity in the Lehigh Valley.

They did participate in Bill Ruhe ('39) Day (so declared by the mayor of AUentown), which was ananged by the Lehigh Valley Chapter of the US SubVets of WW n on the 15th anniversary of the Chapter's founding. Bill's father was editor of the Allentown Morning Call and there are many famous Ruhes in the AUentown area.

Their youngest son, Lt. Chris, USN, is a test pilot at Pt. Mugu and a Project Manager for certain aspects of testing the F- 14D which takes him to the Grumman facihties on Long Island periodically. Chris has been nominated by the Navy for astronaut training and is awaiting a call from NASA for evaluation. The trips East provide an opportunity for mini-reunions and a chance to investigate places they had heard about but had never seen, i.e., the Hamptons, Fire Island, Jones Beach, and Teddy Roosevelt's homestead.

In mid-Summer, Bruce Meulendyke was enjoying his usual vacation at their family camp near Bridgton, Maine, and dropped in at the local barber shop for a trim. Shortly after retuming home, he got a phone call from Corky Corkran. Seems the latter was in the same shop, thought he recognized Bruce and found his name in the phone book. Hurricane "Bob" had knocked out theu power so they met at a restaiffant which had its own power and arranged a dinner at the Meulendyke homestead some two weeks later Annabelle and Corky had been summering in Bridgton for years, but this was the first time they had ever met there.

Diana and Jim Seamans were in residence in New Hampshire (cooling off from Phoenix weather) this Summer and had a delightful dinner with Alice and Ed Kintner at their new spread, PO Box 682, Windsor, Vt. 05055, 802-649-3143.

As a copilot of an HH-3F helicopter, she had to help keep the vehicle stable despite 75-knot winds, heavy rain, visibility of less than a quarter-mile, severe turbulence and heavy seas to rescue three crewmen in a raft after their fishing vessel caught fire South of Cordova, Alaska.

Shipmate, December 1991

Rags Muller has been digging again in his old treasures and came up with a copy (memeographed) of a directive from the C. O. of Naval Air Gunners School, Jacksonville, Horida addressed to U.S. Naval Academy Class of 1944, dated June 10, 1943, Subj: Indoctrinational Training Course. In case any of you have forgotten, it informed us that "The purpose of this course is to provide the graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy with a general knowledge of aviation and aircraft so that he may have a foundation upon which to base a broader comprehension of Naval Aviation, a wider knowledge of the naval use of aircraft through actaal experience in flights in these aircraft, and a thorough knowledge of the problems in recognition and in the employment of short range anti-aircraft weapons to defend against attacks by enemy aircraft." The directive further informed us that we would undergo the course in free guimery in a two week period—a course which was conducted in four weeks for the enlisted man's school. I am sure most of you will remember those thousands of rounds of shotgun, .30 caliber, and .50 caliber ammunition we joyfully fired getting through that course.

During a recent "deep cleaning" of his office spaces, the present Midshipmen Financial Advisor, Lt. Dennis Yeatman '83, uncovered a thorough compilation of Midshipmen Budget Books dated back to 1929. The originals were sent to Naval Academy Archives in Preble Hall; however, he sent your secretary a copy of the Budget and Administration of Midshipmen's Pay for Fiscal Year 1943 promulgated by Capt.

H. E. Overesch '15, Commandant of Midshipmen, and approved by RAdm. J. R. Beardall '08, Superintendent. It is very interesting to note what inflation has done to the Midshipmen Budget since then, as iUustrated in the foUowing comparison provided by Lt. Yeatman: Academic year 1991-92 1942-43 Gross Pay—All Classes: $543.90 $65.00 Cash Pay per Month 4/C: $50.00 $2.00 3/C: $150.00 $4.00 2/C: $250.00 NA 1/C: $325.00 $11.00 Laundry & Pers, Service: $59.00 $9.05 Service Dress Blues: $250.00 $48.49 Initial Midstore Issue: $2350.00 $439.72 The only conclusion that I can come to from the above comparison is that things have surely changed.

There should be some solace in realizing what a marvelous education middies get now, while still looking just Uke we (fid in uniform!

Bob "Cowboy" Awtrey reported that after a series offivecourse races and three slaloms at the National Seniors Windsurfing Championships at Hilton Head Island, N.C, on the weekend of 7 September, he ended up second in the six-board men's age 65-plus division. Bob also sent us a clipping from the 6 September issue of The Florida Times-Union of anodier piece to the editor from Baldy Chapman in which he refiites an earlier editorial on the viability of electric and alcohol fueled vehicle programs. Baldy says, in addressing the electrically powered car, "Who is wilUng to buy a car with a range that won't get you to GainesvUle or Savannah [from Jacksonville] in any real traffic situation, or aU the way to St. Augustine and back?" As for the ethanol business, Baldy pointed out the present 9 cents a gallon subsidy (or more) which accrues to the processors who make ethanol and the unknown environmental effects of the aldehydes produced by buming it as car fuel. He further observed, " . . . There is also that sucker sign over the bar: 'Free Beer Tomortow.'"

Bill Buriin penned us two messages in September—one on 7 Sept. from deep in the "out back" of Australia where he spent two weeks seeing everything possible. Classmate Gage Baker met him in Brisbane, his home, and with hisfinewife, Helen, showed Bill all around that grand city Bill said that the Bakers both are doing very well and are looking Shipmate, December 1991

forward to another visit to the U.S. as soon as they seU their house in Brisbane. Bill's second message came at the end of Sept. when he had retumed home to rendezvous with his wife. Peg, who did a group tour of Ireland while BiU was in Australia.

In Memorium Francis N. "Frank" Biewer's passing was reported in Last Call of the October issue. Before that issue was in the maU, 1 received a letter from Frank's brother-in-law, our Classmate John Burke, informing us that he hadflownto San Diego from his home in Hawaii for the funeral services. Frank had a very fuU and successful Ufe, and in 1972 he was named Small Businessman of the Year by the federal Small Business Administration. We send heartfeh condolences to his wife, Barbara and to the entire family We regret to report the passing of Charlotte Lee Bagley, Dave's beloved wife, on 15 September at their home in Vienna, Virginia. Interment was at Arlington National Cemetary on 18 September. Lee, who has published poetry in the past, was working on novels and short stories at the time of her death. We extend our sympathy to Dave and all of the family on the occasion of their great loss.

Our aU new 1991 Class of 1945 Duty Santa Claus, Don E^ge, of 35 Sandpiper Strand, Coronado, Calif, has come ashore from his 60 foot Chris Craft ROAMER just long enough to wish you all a Merry Christmas and to remind our faithful readers to include the Class of 1945 on your Christmas Card and Newsletter mailing list. We have a great time reading the cards posted on the buUdieads at our January Class luncheon at Ft. Myer And, the newsletters provide food for this colunm!

Thanks to early notification by Bill Bryson of San Francisco, the Class was able to respond to the sudden death of Hugh Lowery in Northport, New York on 5 October Don Logie got the New Yorkers together to attend the funeral home visitation and to provide afloralarrangement in the name of the Class.

In addition to Don, Dick Neuendorffer and Gus Swainson shared in the memorial to Hugh. Inumment at the Naval Academy Columbarium wUl follow at a later date. Another death, that of Frank Barber on 24 December 1990 in North Olmstead, Ohio was discovered by means of remmed first class Alumni Association mail, marked, "addressee deceased."

Appropriate obituaries will be included in the Last Call section of the Jan/Feb issue.

One of the more frustrating and time-consuming, yet deeply rewarding, duties of your Corresponding Secretary is that of researching and preparing your obituaries for this magazine. In all cases, the Class contacts the siuviving Shipmate or relative by fone or by letter to express condolences and to offer assistance. Classmates, learning of the passing of a Classmate, having been indispensible in providing early notification and assistance to me and to the surviving widow. As a Class we are proud of our widows, we love them and want to include them in oiu activities, and in that regard, we have been somewhat successfiil. It has recently been suggested that we form a Twenty-First Company of our 102 umnarried and 16 remarried (voluntary participation, of course) widows. What do you think?

Mabel (Mrs. W. A.) Bowes writes, "BiU's death was sudden and even though he had suffered a heart attack 10 years ago, he seemed in perfect condition, walking at least three miles every moming and swimming laps afterwards . . . 1 have had so many nice letters and telephone calls from men he was in service with and at the Academy that I was surprised how the news of his death traveled . . . " The Travel Biu'eau: Roberta and Carl Gronemann are scheduled to move into their Maple Grove, Mirm. home about 30 November (after the first snow). Carl writes, "We were invited to Mary and Bones Thomas' cabin in the North Woods during the period 87

3-5 September They have about 12 acres just out of Ely, Minn, on Lake Farm, right near the Boundary Waters National Park. Bones bought the property about 1949 and it came with a sauna, cabin and pier . . . " Significant improvements have been made

by Mary and Bones over the years. Carl continues, "This cabin facility, while near Ely, is up a fire lane deep in the woods . . . you get the feeling you are apart from civilization . . . very restful, but still close enough to obtain necessary logistic support . . . ."

Joe Henson attended the 1991 Pan-American Games in Havana, Cuba from 11-18 August in the capacity of Acting President of the Intemational Tae Kwon Do Association. At one of the official functions welcoming the officials to Cuba, Joe had the opportunity to meet Fidel Castro and to converse with him through an official interpreter Joe, having been told that Fidel had reached his 65th birthday die day before, asked, "Why don't you go to the United States where you can get Social Security?" According to Joe, the interpreter did not respond.

According to Frank Rawlings, ten USNA grads from the Tidewater Area have time-shares the same week at Sea Scape Beach and Golf Villas at Kitty Hawk. The foto shows Frank Rawlings, Dick Lowe '42, Carlos McCullough '49, Harry Clark '43 and Bob Hogsed.

Audrey and Tom Utegaard visited son, Eric, Capt. USN '69, in Alexandria in late August but were unable to contact me as Janie and I were in Romney, W. Va. This brings up a good point: The masthead of this colurrm lists both my fone number and that of Secretary Thad Taylor. We keep each other advised of our movements, so any Classmate visiting the Washington Area should be able to contact one of us. And speaking of Thad, Nancy and he were in Myrtle Beach and Valdosta, Ga. in late September Their son. Jay a LCol. USAFfighterpilot, is based in Valdosta. . . San Antonio resident of USAA Towers, Les Buck, includes a foto of Caroline, himself and Mary and Pat Hannifin "somewhere" in Alaska which was taken in August. He notes, "We met on a USAA-sponsored Holland-American cruise-tour of Alaska . . . had a great time." He adds a plug: "The USAA Towers here in San Antonio was planned and built for me. Caroline has small culture shock from losing our Mexican maid of 23 years . . . " And, from Summit, N.J., Tod Packer recounts, "Barbara and 1 were visiting our daughter, Judy, a math professor at the University of Colorado and our new grandson, Adam, in Boulder . . . We called Nancy and Harry Doyle and they came out for a nice dinner" Foto shows Harry and Nancy Doyle on the right.

June and Bob Baldwin spent most of July in Minneapolis and Rochester with a side trip to Fargo for Bob's 50th High School Reunion. Then they were booked on the 5-20 October USNA Alumni Association-sponsored cruise of the Danube and then back for the October Homecoming. It seems that we haven't heard the last of Bob Williams newsworthy 70th Birthday Party bash in June: According to Bob Baldwin, "It was a great party, filling the entire Menlo Park Country Club, afirstclass affair and after a good bit of excellent food and drink, Vanessa MC'd a hilarious roast of Bob . . . " Foto shows Hank Searls, Vanessa Williams, Dick Neuendorffer, June Baldwin and Bunny Searls.

The Address Book: Joe Schroeder, still living in Long Beach, reports a new address for Phil Sperry: PO Box 8005, Newport Beach, Calif. 92660, fone (714) 891-2351 . . . We have leamed through Bob Hogsed and Frank Rawlings that Marion and Joe Bonds have raoved to Fleet Landing in Jacksonville and A. D. and Carvel Hall Blair to Charlottesville.

He retired in April 89 from Computer Sciences Corp after 16 years, nearly all of which was spent in the Mid-East. For the past 2!4 years he's been consulting out of his homes in Rome, Italy and Arlington, Va.

Alice and George Ferch were in Dayton, Tenn., in early August attending the Wycliffe Associates Annual Conference at Bryan College. George is virtually a full time volunteer for them in Santa Ana. (He was Chairman for the event and couldn't get away. Tricia and Daisy visited them.) This is the organization wWch translates the Bible into little known languages. Basically, they contact the natives, leam their language and then translate the Bible into those languages. In 1968, Lu and 1 had the rare opportunity to visit the Wycliffe base in Pucalpa, Peru.

Their story is fascinating and the exploits of their missionaries along the Amazon unbelievable.

I have received more information on John Hale whose death I reported in the September column. He resigned from the Navy in 1947 and homesteaded in Nancy Lake, Alaska. He was recalled to active duty during the Korean War when he served in LENAWEE (APA-195). He helped found the Alaska State Militia, started the Matanuska Valley radio station (KABN), served as City Manager for Aniak and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and was a director of the Alaska State Fair. He once eamed the title "Alaska's Most Colorful Pioneer" from the Alaska State Legislature and was one of the Alaska characters featured Shipmate, December 1991

in "I'd Swap My Old Skidoo for You," which was written by Nan Elliot, who subsequently became his wife. They were married at sunset in the Cathedral of The Chugach Mountains, Alaska, on 3/9/91. The bride's bouquet froze almost instantly—the wind chill factor was 5 degrees below zero. When John tried a movie style kiss at the end of the ceremony he lost his balance, knocked the bride down and both tumbled down the snowy slope where they had to be rescued by the magistrate and the two wimesses.

Jerry Lee in Temple, Texas, called asking for info on homecoming. He also said that he's made reservations for the June Week West '92 cruise and that Martha and he plan to be at the 47th and a half. Our count is 17.

Word has been received that a new Anne Arundel County golf course near Pasadena, Md, will be named the James A. Moore Golf Course in honor of the Pasadena engineer and civic leader who died while fighting a forest fire in Yellow Stone Park. Jim had been in the 9th Co. and his widow, Mrs. Anne Moore lives in Pasadena. (We are in debt to Hallie Rice for this info and info on John Hale.)

In August, Barbara and Jay Thomas, Danville, Ken., stopped off to visit Tricia and Daisy but missed Daisy who was away in Maryville. Jay reported that he'd had a recent visit from Tuck Huey who was on one of his periodic trips to his home state and that he'd talked with Bill Montgomery in Virginia Beach, Va. We don't have up to date biographies on Jay or Bill.

Tedee Whalen Rink, widow of Bill Whalen, 1st Co, drove to Dayton, Tenn., from Virginia Beach for a visit with Alice and George Ferch but had already departed by the time that the Wilhoits got to Dayton.

She's a widow for the second time. Her address is: Mrs. Victor B. Rink, 929 Kela Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va. 23451.

The info on Ben Britain, George Ferch, Jay Thomas and Tedee Whalen Rink came from Daisy.

(He also assisted with information on John Hale.)

Daisy's had his hands full chairing the 50th Reunion of Maryville High School Class of '41. They had a fantastic tumout of 59 out of 69 living classmates.

(He said he couldn't have done it if he was still handling '46 matters.) He's discovered a new book about the old TENNESSEE, An American Battleship at Peace and War by Johnathan G. Utley, University Press of Kansas, which he strongly recommends to anyone who enjoys reading about the "Old Navy."

I picked the foUowing out of the newspaper article which called Daisy the American radical: "People will say, 'That Wilhoit's a kook. He's trying to fight the whole government,"* says Wilhoit, adding that he likes to argue and discuss issues and would be glad to hear from someone who can convince him that he is wrong so he can end his quest and enjoy his mountain retreat in peace.

Information from Washington, D . C : The Honorable Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense, was the first speaker in the annual Forrestal Lecture Series at the Naval Academy; and, the site for the greater D.C. area Army/Navy game festivities will be, once again, at Patsy and Skid Skidmore's: 1421 22nd St. South, Aurora Hills, Ariington, Va. 22202-1509.

TILT! TILT! There are 2 changes to previously promulgated information on Class activities: FIRST: The site for the San Diego Army/Navy game festivities has been changed to Fran and Bob Gautier's; 4455 Monaco St., San Diego, Calif. 92107-4238.

Barbara Anne and Harry Watson had to drop out because of her commitment to a major annual project for the Children's Hospital. SECOND: The dates for our 47th and a half have slipped one week to 21-25 January 1993 (four nights and five days) to get us into the Omni Royal Orleans on a great package. The details have been disseminated by a newsletter which was mailed before this column was sent to Shipmate.

BE THERE! MAKE YOUR COMMITMENT NOW.

Shipmate, December 1991

Tell me when you make your plans so that I can "pass the word."

As stated elsewhere in Shipmate, June Week West '92 will be a weekend cruise 26-29 June 1992. So far I've heard from Marigold and Bob Gorton and Martha and Jerry Lee that they intend to participate with me. If you're coming, please let me know so that I can tell others and, perhaps, arrange a Class party.

In my last column I opened the door on pre and post reunion tours incident to our 47th and a half. A pre-reunion tour to Houston (estimated 2 days) has been suggested. Other possibilities are: Huntsville, Ala. (NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center); several day tours on the Mississippi in the stemwheelers DELTA Q U E E N and MISSISSIPPI Q U E E N ; or even an

ocean cruise out of Florida. Who's interested in what and who's willing to make the arrangements? By starting our planning now—all of these are possible.

Pres., RAdm. Ralph Carnahan USN (Ret.) Sec'y, Capt. Robert L. von Gerichten USN (Ret.) 8517 Lancashire Dr Springfield, Va. 22151-1307 It is with deep regret that 1 must announce the death from lung cancer of Adm. John G. "Jack" Williams, Jr. on 4 October 1991 at the Madigan Army Medical Center, Fort Lewis, Tacoma, Wash.

Memorial services were held at die Peninsula Church Center, Ocean Beach Presbyterian Church, Sea View, Washington on 12 October His ashes were scattered at sea during a very private ceremony. Our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to his wife of 45 years, Dorothy, at Route 1, Box 202, Long Beach, Wash. 98631-9801 and their five children and 7 grandchildren.

It is also with great sadness that I must announce the death from cancer of Bemice M. Lilly on 4 October 1991 at the Anne Arundel Medical Center, Annapolis Md. Bemice was the widow of our Classmate Dick Lilly who died in 1980. Our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to their two children, Barbara R. Lilly of New Windsor, Md, and Richard G. Lilly, III of Annapolis; and Bemice's sister, Dorothy Monczynski, of AnnapoUs. Our 45th Reunion was held on a perfectly beautiful weekend, 27-29 September 1991. I received a copy of a letter that Ted Davis wrote a Classmate on 30 September It perfectly describes the weekend and accompanying sentiment, so much better than 1 possibly could, that I have included it here. The pictures were provided by Lou Romatowski before he left town: The 45th was among the very best. There was a feeling of tranquillity in the air. People were relaxed and attentive. Thankful may be the right word.

Some Classmates arrived on Thursday to avoid the normal Friday check-in flap at Lowe's Annapolis. These early birds were settled in and on hand to greet the Friday arrivals and renew old acquaintances. The Welcoming Committee, Hospitality Suite people, and Jim Moss lieutenants were ever present, most valuable, and above all, accommodating. Bo Coppedge put on a magic show and produced new football game tickets toreplacethose that had been left at home.

A few early birds and wives teed-off at 0830 Friday at the Naval Academy golf course in a best ball scramble which included some 14 foursomes from the Class of '51. Bo Heininger's foursome won!

Golf provided another opportunity for Classmates and wives to know each other better, share stories and appreciate friendship. Four hours in an immaculate environment, enjoying each other, was a rewarding experience.

A half hour before the Friday Memorial Service at the Academy Chapel at 1500, people began to congregate on the Chapel steps and for a half hour after, they continued embracing. It wasn't the same old thing, it was different.

The ceremony, organized and directed by Lt. Carney to honor our 149 deceased Classmates was perfect. We sang, recited the Midshipman's Prayer, I gave Psalm 107: 23-32, and Ralph spoke from his heart about some poignantreflectionsof the Class of '47. Of course, Etemal Father (The Navy Hymn) broke out all the hankies in the crowd.

Cocktails upstairs, followed by dinner downstairs in Dahlgren Hall occupied Friday night. The tables were of eight with plenty of room between. There were extra tables to make sure no couple would be double-timing in place looking for somewhere to sit.

The ample space allowed for hours of table-hopping and dancing to an orchestra that as usual had to compete with Dahlgren Hall acoustics.

The weather Saturday was also gorgeous. Jack Renard '55, Dean of Admissions, addressed the Class in the new Alumni Hall, a building of beauty and versatility. A home away from home for the Brigade, a Godsend! Jack, as usual, was a smash hit with a tastefiil dose of humor about some members of the Class, and a look into the Brigades future composition. The new "Supe" dropped in to say hello following a breakfast, held in the facility, for the visiting football team.

Thence, a Class meeting, attended by several hundred, who seemed to have one thought in mind: How is the Class of '47 going to contribute, as an entity, to the new Alumni Hall? Annapolitans, with their fingers on the local pulse, recommended we sponsor large bronze Naval Academy seals over each of the three main entrances to the Hall. A motion was made, seconded, and carried by a unanimous vote in favor. A letter from the Class President is pending.

(Also it was noted that Jim Doyle has been appointed head of a nominating committee for new Class officers. Nominations and Class elections should be held so that the results can be announced during Homecoming 1992. Anyone with suggestions or nominations should contact Jim at: 5121 Baltan Road, Bethesda, Md. 20816—RLvonG) The topic of where to hold the "50th" came up, and comments from all states represented, made it obvious that it should be held in Annapolis. To hold it elsewhere would be folly A 47th Reunion in Las Vegas, Paddle-Wheeler on the Mississippi, or a cmise ship out of Califomia or other West Coast event will be investigated.

The Class meeting was followed by a great tailgate party, tent and all, catered to perfection. People who could not physically or for other reasons attend all the functions, reserved their strength and time for the tailgate. Imagine, a whole truck full of beer— with four spigots on its side. That's living! And despite the loss, the football game was exciting. Great seats.

Following the game almost everyone suited up for the Dinner Craise. All 500 streamed aboard in an orderly fashion, and precisely at 1900 we got underway for the piece de resistance. Two decks, main and first, were rigged for dining and entertainment, and the top deck for an open bar. All waiters and waitresses were also entertainers, and very good ones at that! Drinksflowedfreely and quickly, and the food was delicious.

Jim Moss and his gang will go down in history as heroes, heroines, and magicians. The ship got underway at sunset, and as it quietly and unobtrasively pulled away from the old REINA MERCEDES pier, with hardly any lights below decks, it kept the Naval Academy and Annapolis centered directly in the sunset. And as the sun sank, all those great memories came into focus. Soon, all the lights of Bancroft Hall became clear, and above them, against the deepening red of the western sky, were the Chapel dome, football water tower, Capitol dome and Saint Mary's spire.

You could hear a pin drop along with the tears.

Couples quietly held hands, as almost fifty years passed through their minds. They had never seen that sight before and will never see it again. All the splendor and beauty that God can create was fixed in

our minds forever. No camera could attempt to capture it.

It wasn't the same old stuff, some very thoughtfiil and clever people took the available ingredients and made a memorable weekend we will never forget. It would be great if it could be repeated, but things like that only happen once in a lifetime. The magic of those few minutes can never be recaptured. Everything was perfect. The timing, the weather, the spontaneity, the people, the camaraderie, and a big measure of love.

Surprisingly, the Sunday brunch was packed.

People dressed in their travel attire quickly ate and radiated throughout the dining room, moving from table to table, group to group, or just holding onto someone special they might not see again. It was a nice couple of hours to wind down and give thanks before hitting the road. I don't know how anyone can appropriately thank Jim and his helpers. It is impossible. On the other hand, they only did what was expected of the Class of '47 and their wives. Len and I have a lot to be thankful for, most important today is that we are members of the Class of '47 and that we were at the 45th Reunion. God bless you all.

Everyone owes a real debt of gratitude to the 45th Reunion Committee. As one Classmate put it, they really rate a BRAVO ZULU for their efforts. Those who labored so mightily under Jim Moss's direction together with their main responsibilities are: Transportation—Pat and Chet Shaddeau; Housing— Mary and John Prehn; Friday Chapel Service— Anne and Jim Anderson; Friday Night Dinner Dance—Jean and George Brungot; Dinner Dance Decorations—Bunny Sisson; Satiirday Tailgate— Pat and Chet Shaddeau; Satiirday Cruise—Jay and Mike Larkin; Saturday Landlubbers Dinner—

Sec'y Cdr. Sumner Moore USN (Ret.) 308 Mansion Dr., Alexandria, Va. 22302 The new Brigade Activities Building, USNA, built over the ghosts of Isherwood, Griffin, and MelvUle Halls, long since bulldozed, now officially baptized "Alumni Hall," was dedicated on the 4th of October at a gala dinner held in the Hall. Among the invitees were a large group of corporate and individual givers. Class representatives and assorted dignitaries. Part of the Hall's inner works and remarkable hidden mechanisms is the Bob Hope Performing Arts Center, which materializes on command out of the overhead, providing stage, seating, and ancillary equipment accomodating over 1000 folks. The Center was dedicated in the late aftemoon Saturday, 5 October, at a two hour show put on by the USNA, featiuing the USNA band, the midshipmen Glee Club and several smaller singing groups of mids, male and female. Bob Hoj)e held forth in fine style in spite of contusions about the head and face suffered in a fall during a benefit in Fort Lauderdale the night before. He was delighted to have the Center named for him, and since he had found the Oceans taken, this was almost as good. The fiind raising effort on the part of the Alumni Association, and the response by the Alumni was phenominal. 48 ranks in the top group of Class donors. Classes mostly from the 40's and 50's. Jane and I were very happy to be there as Class reps. Also on hand were Marian and Don Buhrer and Sibyl and Bob Geiger. I am assured that we will soon have Class plaques displayed in our honor high up on a control booth, where they can be seen. Much better, in my opinion, than a Class scuttlebutt or other commemorative plumbing.

I have a letter from the Director of the Naval Academy Foundation announcing that Midshipman David M. St. Pierre has been selected as the Class of 1948 Honor Scholar for this year. He is one of 90 men and 4 women sponsored by the Foundation to enter with die Class of 1995. He hails from Halifax, Nova Scotia, graduated from St. Patricks High School where he participated in cross country, football, and track.

He was a member of the National Honor Society, the French Club, and the Young Science, Mathematics, and Technology Entrepreneurs' Club. He spent his prep year at New Mexico Military Institute.

This from John Meneke from the wilds of the Eastem Shore in St. Michaels, Md.: Having read yourfinecolumn for over 500 (could that beright?)months without a peep I thought two things would be in order First a big note of thanks from all your silent and not so silent readers. You have it! Second, a modest contribution which follows. I won't bore you with the ups and downs (mostly ups) of the last 44 years. Suffice it to say that Margaret, my wife, and I are living quietly in St. Michaels, and that I am quasi-retired. We welcome visits from Classmates.

T^vo items of possible interest did occur this Spring, however. I was leafing through the World Almanac and happened to notice in the 'forms of address' section that cadets at the USMA and the USAFA are. oddly enough, addressed as Cadet.

Now for the shocker! There is not a word about the USNA. It's as if it doesn't exist. I quickly wrote the editor, pointing out the grave omission. And The Dire Consequences if, perchance, a Midshipman Shipmate, December 1991

were ever addressed as 'Cadet'. To his credit, the editor responded immediately and promised to correct the text in the 1992 edition.

The second item I have to report happened as we were sailing my boat up the Hudson River to celebrate the arrival of my first grandson in Albany.

About midway up the river, we came upon a group of drab buildings that could only be some sort of military school.

The great Northwest's own Terry Ross speaks: Nancy and Bob Ghormley came through our S. F. Bay area last July briefly on they way to visit Dottie and Tom Wilson in Washington State on Hood Canal . We took them on a quick 4-hour tour of SF with dinner in Sausalito. I am retiring from Lockheed the end of August after 25 years. Ruthie retired from teaching this June. We will be building our dreamhouse on Puget Sound by the end of the year. We will be at 8222 Caraway Road East, Manchester, Wash. PO Box 808, 98353. Next year we will welcome Classmates and shipmates.

Another great Nortwestemer, Ed Rudzis, checks in from Anacortes, Wash.: We had our second alumni luncheon here in Anacortes with Bob McClinton and I representing '48.

Bob came over from Sequim. In August. Babs and I spent a week with friends touring the Canadian Gulf Islands on their 41 foot Grand Banks craiser, spending each night at a different marina or mooring, getting up as far as Nanaimai, B.C., up on Vancouver Island, the weather was fantastic. On 27 August, Babs and I were fortunate to entertain Arden and Ben Pester, who were in the area from Virginia Beach. Ben and I were in the same company for 4 years, and through all the time in the service, our paths never crossed until the 40th Reunion. I hope the Pesters were able to return to Virginia with good feelings about the Northwest. (Careful, Ed, we're all going to move out there.) Our next big deal is another luncheon in November, and we hope to attract another 48er or two.

Jamie Deuel '54, dropped a note conceming Jim Strong, which the latter probably would not have deemed worthy of mention. Sounds good to rae: Jim passed the prestigious registered Professional Engineers (PE) exam at his first sitting. It is a lengthy and comprehensive exam that is normally taken in sectionsfiveyears apart and right out of college when some of the theory is quite fresh. Jim has now converted the 17 year old Strong Associates from a property management firm to an environmental engineering service. To do that most effectively, he decided he needed the PE. In typical Strong fashion he decided what the goal was, how to get there (extensive study), and went to work. By far and away, Jim was the most mamre' individual sitting the exam. There was one young chap in his 50's who was trying for the fifth time to pass one of the sections.

Your scribe thought that this was the time when one slacked off and propped up the feet. Good work, Jim. Warren (Hoss) Graham pulled together the September luncheon at the Army-Navy Country Club, somewhat single handedly Many folks seemed to be out of town or otherwise occupied, but he managed to gather Stacy, Lochner, Martenson, Chapman, Buhrer, R. P Smith, Bartow, Jensen, Harkins, Ghormley, Marder, O'Connor, Borlaug, Hallman, Edmondson, Beggs, Corley, and himself, in that order He did not report any rug sales, but there may have been some. The November luncheon will sport wives, so there will be better reporting.

Dave Carruth writes for your enjoyment.

On 28 August, Betty and Iflewto Portland to attend a reunion of ESSEX (CV/CVA/CVS-9). The eligible population covers the years 1943-1969. so it is slowly decreasing by attrition, yet our membership is growing. There is areunionevery year and there are usually about 300 attendees. I would strongly recommend to anyone who has not tried one to give it a try It is extremely interesting talking to these people not only about what they did aboard ship but what they have done since. On 1 September, we flew to Seattle where John Chelgren met us at the airport. We spent two days with John and Ruth in their

beautiful layout on Long Lake in Port Orchard.

They have an old house which John put a lot of work into and they are very comfortable, though John says it is still a lot of work. They have a boat house on the lake and both of them love to water ski. I haven't been on skis since 1968, but managed to get up on the third try and stayed up until I let go of the tow to go up on the beach, at which time I did a nice face plant. Our visit was great and we caught up on what had transpired since graduation. We have seen each other only twice since that time, once in Monterey for about 4 hours and again for dinner here in Washington twenty years ago. I'm trying to get them to come back for homecoming.

Speaking of old friends one hasn't seen since whenever, Jane and I had a call from Levon (Lee Berberian at our house in Newport in late August or early September announcing that they would be in Newport for a couple of days sightseeing, enroute to a family baptism in Connecticut, and would like to get together Jane and I joined Lee and Priscilla for lunch at the Black Pearl, and they came by for a drink the next day. A foto I'll print for you next month shows what great shape we are in. I swore to Lee that I wouldn't mention this, but we all did know him back in the 20th Company and its environs as "Bubbles."

The only time we have seen each other since graduation was at Bill Brendle's funeral last year.

Bill McCabe writes from New Canaan, Conn., with sad news: It is with great regret that I inform you that Jim Hawthorne passed away 20 September at his home in Stamford of a pulmonary embolism. He was predeceased by his wife, Pat, earlier this year. I'm sure our Classmates will remember Jim as the Midshipman who set a school record for awards at graduation. Following active duty, he was active in Navy affairs, in the reserve, and Navy League. Lee and I had the pleasure of many happy times with the Hawthomes over the past fifteen years. He and Pat were wonderfiil people and will be missed by all who knew them.

I join Bill in expressing to this family the sincere condolences of the Class.

Concurrently, the following was received from by Paul Early: I leamed this aftemoon of Jim Hawthorne's passing. Harlow Falevsky gave me a call as a result of an announcement he received, I called Jim's house and talked with his son, Don, whofilledme in and mentioned that Bill McCabe would send an obit in to Last Call. Just six days before Jim died, he was with the Northem New Jersey Class Group at Jennie and Clay Gaitskill's lovely home in New Jersey. It had been two or so years since Jim last joined the group, as his wife, Pat, had been seriously ill for some time. She passed away about six months ago.

Jim looked as if he was recovering well from the heavy strain and although thin, was quite erect, and a delight to join in conversation with.

He spoke of his executive search firm's business in the recession with plans of restoring it to fiill vigor He was looking forward to traveling and had a possible move to Califomia up his sleeve. When we discussed the next gathering, he planned to be present. At that dinner, the usual frivolities took place.

Jim didn't get elected to anything because we were trying to encourage his future participation. Actually, no one was elected. Mob rale prevailed again.

Besides the Gaitskills, the mob consisted of Anne and Harlow Falevsky, Shirley and Ken Wilson, Marge and Herb Green, Jim Hawthome, Frank Ennis, Jean and Gene Kelly, and Vi and Paul Early.

We heard from Helen and Ed Armstrong. Helen was undergoing knee surgery that day, and is doing remarkably well . . . quite mobile according to late reports.

It's yoiu responsibility to let me know your current mailing address. Also, while I am on the subject, we have a Greater Washington Area mailing sub Usting for local area events like the Dark Ages Party and so on. Most people in the hinterlands probably are not interested in or likely to attend these events. But, if anyone outside the Greater Washington Area wants to be on this list, please let me know. If you are in doubt as to your present inclusion on the list, assume your are not if you did not receive the 1991 Homecoming mailing.

Let's get to die mail. Jack Landers pointed out in note that Bill Russ's son Rusty is the WiUiam Russ in the recentiy released move Pastime. Jack suggests that BiU's early coaching of Rusty helped him perform well in the movie's game scenes.

Frank Sain whom we recentiy reported as retiring as executive director of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority will be teaching classes at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, beginning next Spring in the College of Hotel Administration. Frank will be a visiting professor in the tourism and convention department teaching classes in convention and visitors bureau management, convention facility management and association management.

In a recent note Chuck Martin and his wife Lytm along with Ella and Chet Davis represented the Class of the USNA Alumni Association cruise to Alaska in August 1991. They flew to Fairbanks, took a domed sightseeing train to Denali Park where they saw magnificent scenery and extensive wild life; then onto Anchorage and Whittier to board ISLAND PRINCESS for a cruise to College Fjord and down the inside passage stopping at Sitka, Skagway, Jimeau, Ketchikan and debarking at Vancouver, B.C. Chuck says that it was a delightful trip. They enjoyed the entire USNAAA party of people.

Davis & Martin—Alaska Tour We received from Jim Linder a wonderful poem written by our Classmate Bill Stoddard before he was killed over thirty years ago. His widow, Janie, sent it to Jim recentiy.

Rejiections A poem dedicated to my children on the occasion of Christmas, 1959.

The gift of little children Is from God a great blessing.

But the role of a parent Can, at times, be distressing.

For in their small faces Is mirrored that part Of the love and the guidance You give from your heart.

And on looking more closely You'll find in there too, Their defeats and their triumphs As they emulate you.

So a hint to all fathers And to all mommies as well.

Please set an example By which they can excel!

Teach them the things Which in life they must know.

The meaning of truth.

The correct way to go.

Buildup their faith.

In God have them trast.

For in life's major battles God's help is a must.

Help them to know The right from the wrong.

Encourage their best efforts.

Each day, all day long.

Be quick to give praise At those times when it's due.

But let them know well Their duties to you.

And never forget The worth gained in caress.

That in their small failures You love them no less.

And when if by chance You can't always be there.

Hold them near in your heart.

They'll know how you care!

Give them your strength And teach them to smile.

Make the times when they're troubled Last just a brief while.

Be patient, be tender.

And always be fair.

Teach respect for one's self Not just clothes that we wear.

Open their eyes To Nature's true joys.

Help them be unselfish With their games and their toys.

Show them in losing That tomorrow's a new day.

Tis not so much winning It's more how you play!

Preserve them from false pride.

From prejudice and hate.

Teach them all men are equal That the Lord shall create.

Then as they grow older The effects will be plain.

They'll come for your counsel Time and time again.

And you can feel proud.

As you rightfully should be.

When their places in life Are a pleasure to see.

So to you, my own children, I've but one thing to add.

To God I'm ever grateful.

That He made me—your Dad! Written by: C. W. Stoddard U.S.N. A letter from J. William Flight '56, Executive Director of the USNA Foundation announced that Midshipman Adam W Tight has been selected as the Class of 1949 Memorial Honor Scholar for this year.

He is one of ninety four (90 men—4 women) Foundation sponsorees to enter the Class of 1995.

Adam Walker Tight from McLean, Va. graduated from Bishop Denis J. O'connell High School. Adam participated in track, weightiifting and football and was named to the Virginia All-Conference Football Team. He was a member of the National Honor So-

ciety, the Spanish National Honor Society the Smdent Council, Key Club, and was Chairman of Superdance. Adam attended The Lawrenceville School in preparation for USNA. We had a great tum-out at the October Class lunch at the Orleans House in Rosslyn, Va. Much merriment and deja vu-ing all around. In attendance were: Red Cobb, Jack Wamsley, Roy Goldman, Bob Coontz, Norton Harding, Pete Swanson, Jim McVoy, Slim Somerville, Cal Killeen, CMC Jones, Fred Gabowsky, Ralph Ghormley, Paul Riegert, Robert Selle, Tom Kilcline, Mort Neely and yours truly.

We just received word that Martin Schor passed away in Miami, Florida on 8 August. Also, Jack Lander's wrote that Leo Schoos' wife Mary died in June this year of heart surgery. Jack says that Leo is now retired from the personnel/ executive placement business and lives in Delmar, N.Y. The Class extends condolences to both families on their loss.

R. H. E ALASKA CRUISE DATES CHANGE Cruise dates are now 3-10 July due to a total ship corporate lease. For those having had difficulty getting the new 1992 Alaska brochure it is now in print; get it by calling Costa Cruises 800-322-8263; ask for 1992 COSTA DAPHNE Alaska brochure #1132 or ask

local travel agent (quicker delivery). Forty-Niner prices & ITC phones remain as in Oct. Shipmate.

Otiier details see brochure.

ALUMNI BASKETBALL The first annual Naval Academy Alumni Basketball Games, commemorating 85 years of Naval Academy Basketball, were held on 27 September 1991 as the first sports event on the floor of the new Alunmi Hall. The Class of '71 and older teams had 11 players on each side including Forty-niner Harry Woods (NOTE; the only more senior players were one each from '39, '45, and '48, Chuck Sheehan).

Former USNA All-America, present NBA all-star center and future U.S. Olympic basketball team member David Robinson cheered from the bench for one of the two '72 and younger teams.

Harry is shown wearing his 1991 Navy Alumni Game Shirt the next day at the Forty-niner Football Tailgate party: Cook, Grabowsky, Woods, Vosseler, Koach.

FIRE ISLAND FESTIVITIES Carolyn and Dan Kahn certainly know how to schedule an action-packed three-day weekend on Fire Island off Long Island, N.Y. There are nine different personality communities on the island with one common denominator—you either use your feet to walk or pedal a bicycle.

In addition to sightseeing, beaching and the regular amenities, there was a brass ensemble concert, a wedding, a wedding reception, a community bazaar, waterfront restaurant dining and a farewell finale in the eye-of-the-hurricane boat ride to the mainland on the last boat to leave Fire Island before Hiuricane Bob passed over Long Island. Host and guests are shown, (left to right) Warren Vosseler, Carolyn Kahn, Ursula Vosseler, and Dan Kahn.

GALA WEEKEND The weekend of 4 - 6 October included an Alumni Hall gala dedication dinner, a 6000 attendee show honoring Bob Hope, and a number of Forty-niner events/visits, some related to Bob Hope's presence at the Saturday performance. The Friday nite dinner was attended by Marty and Ed Waller, Marty and Bill Read, and Sally and Ralph Ghormley.

On Satiirday Luke Capone, Ralph Ghormley, and Warren Vosseler acted as tour guides at USNA for young midshipman candidate Jeff Shrader, which included the more significant buildings, lunch with the midshipmen in King Hall and a visit to the Fortyniner sponsored 29th company midshipmen wardroom. During the stroll past the Chapel, we encounShipmate, December 1991

tered a formally attired couple waiting for a wedding (see pictiire). The lovely lady in the foreground is Helen Somerville. The short sleevers left torightare Capone, Ghormley and Vosseler and the specter of sartorial splendor in the suit is Slim Somerville. Incidental intelligence is that Helen may now outrank Slim in the Coast Guard Air Auxiliary.

Pres., LCol. Robert W. Oliver USMC (Ret.) Sec'y Capt. Wayne L. Jensen USN (Ret.) 499 Skyhill Ct., Chula Vista, Calif. 92010 John Hobson writes from Shalimar, Fla. to reaffirm that the only way he sees to keep track of shipmates is through the '50 column in Shipmate. Since John anticipates that his and Marie's youngest son will be reassigned by the Air Force to Southem Califomia he thought it a good idea to let the San Diego group know that the Hobsons might be out for a visit before long. John also submitted cortect information on the missing names of '50 6th Company Plebes in the December issue. While it took a year to clarify the problem-not unlike the defense budget—we are finally able to put the matter to bed. John requested an update on the state of Zeph Schultz health. Zeph had been planning his aimual trip across country to visit the Hussmanns in El Paso and the Farrells in Hawaii and then on the 14th of October the cancer finally got the best of him and Zeph died. He fought the disease with uplifted spirit and always gave great credit to the support of his Naval Academy Classmates. Zeph enjoyed pointing out that he outUved all medical estimates on his survival. His contributions to our society were many and he will be reraerabered and sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.

An update on the Deke Forbes is in order Deke retired from Booz, Allen and Hamilton in February of 1986 and went to Horida where he and Roz live at Box 535-6407 S.E. HWY 441, Okeechobee, Ha. 34974 for seven months of the year. I know the little '50 Blue Book shows a Manassas, Va. address, but the Forbes only show up there to service the lawn, garden and pool on a three month or so basis. The Forbes picture shows daughter, Kim, a paralegal in Ft. Lauderdale; daughter, Kerry who lives in Charlotte, N.C. with her three children and a husband who works for IBM; Deke; and son, Chris, '81 who is in the E-2 community and is currently on the Staff of Air Wing 8 at Oceana. Roz and Deke had recently spent a couple of weeks widi Pat and Rocky Gray in Lompoc, Calif, and even managed a visit to the Gray's time share in central Oregon. The golfing was great at both locations and the tirae was no problem now that Rocky is fully retired. Mary Coughlin had been out to the Forbes for a visit in late September and Jo and Lee Minnis moved to Jacksonville, Fla. in October We had previously noted that a memorial service would be held for our Classmate, John R. (Chute) Dunham, Captain USAF. In September such was held at the Old Chapel at Ft. Myer, Va. Tom Ross reports that the service was done infinefashion with full military honors by a USAF Ceremonial Unit.

Chapel service was conducted by an AF chaplain with Chute's brother (ex-navy) and nephew (Major, USA) participating. Attending were his widow, Mary Dunham Nichols, her husband Don, daughter Suzanne Fong and her husband Bobby, two sons from Holland, Mich, and brother Roy and his wife frora Ashland, Ky. After the service the band, caisson, riderless horse, AF platoon and guests proceeded into Arlington Cemetary to a Memorial Section where a marker honoring Chute had been placed. Immediately upon everyone's arrival at the site, a 'missing man' formation of F-15 jets from Langley AFB flew over in a low pass with the one aircraft breaking ranks. All was precise, military and well done. The ceremony concluded with rifle volley and taps. Full credit for arrangements must go to Daryle Tripp for getting Chute's untiraely "KIA" record set straight and the 'cover' story about 'aircraft (B-29) accident' 'uncovered.' Mary was happy and relieved after the cereraony, and daughter, Suzanne (who never saw her father) is requesting more information through the

"freedom of information" act in order to get the complete story of die 1952 'shoot down' of her father's B-29. It was leamed that Chute's crew has completed their toiff missions as a Far East recon crew and he had volunteered to go out on an extra mission when he was shot down by two MlGs. The following '50 Classmates were in attendance: Ayres, Cart, Curley, Denmark, Hint, Goldbeck, Grunwald, R. E. Oliver, J. R. Powell, T. S. Rogers, Ross, Roth, R J. Ryan, Sherman, Stoll, T O. Thompson, Tripp, and Wood.

Tom Ross reports the August Aimapolis gathering a good one as they were able to meet with "our" USNA Class of '91 Honor Chairman, 2nd Lt. Robert A. Sandri, USMC who briefed on the current system at the academy. Classmates attending were: Gayle May, Daryle Tripp, Gerry Coleman, Jim Lynn, Frank Roth, Don Fraasa, Tom Noble, Phil Ryan, Dick Powell, Charles Hooper, Jack CoUeary, Ed Greenberg, Ed Grunwald and Tom Ross. Lt. Sandri had stayed on at the Academy over the Summer to work for the Ethics Officer on the Commandant's staff, helping the Class of '92 get on to a good start.

Don Fraasa, Phil Ryan and Tom then went a step further and met with Lt. Sandri and Mid'n 1/c Jim Wellons, '92 Honor Chairman, for discussions in Dahlgren Hall.

Kim, Kerry, Deke, and Chris '81 Forbes In Washington the '50 group during October lunched at the "Commonwealth Court" in Alexandria and will continue its luncheon schedule there on a regular basis. The "CC." is on the comer of King and Henry Streets with an address of 1101 King Street. There is a parking garage (paid by a chit from the restaurant) just around the comer frora the restaurant with entrances on both Fayette and Caraeron Streets. Attendees at the October meeting were: Jim Lynn, Bill Simons, Bill Kiehl, Bob Oliver, Jack Ryan, John Cavanaugh, Charlie Hirsch, Don Stull, J. J. McNally, Tom Sherraan, Larry Hawkins, Frank Roth, Bill Diehl, Milt Schultz, Bill Rockey, Dick Powell, Harry Krantzraan, Pete Block, Daryle Tripp, Gayle May and Ward Lasley Bill Rockey is back in Falls Church after a year in Cairo, Egypt and he and Anna stay busy taking care of her mother, an ageless Greek of 92 years. Tom Sherman's son, Tom, is now an Ensign USCG and stationed in Savannah, Ga. The Milt Schultz', Frank Carters' and Joe Howards' took advantage of Phyl Howard's "2 for 1" cruise to Bermuda out of New York in September and continued to wonder just why more didn't take advantage of such a good deal.

Gayle May was preparing for an International Space Meeting in Kyoto, Japan in November where space issues would be considered by Pacific Rim countries.

Dick Powell says he understands where they come from but he didn't ever think there would be so many as grandchildren numbers 9 and 10 arrived; boy and girl, respectively, for a total count of 4 boys and 6 girls.

Jim Lynn reports that our Class treasury now holds $24,286. Included in this amount is $11,582 received as a "sweep up" from the 40th reunion festivities last year.

We had a lot of social doings in San Diego during September and October On the 25th of September we welcomed Bets and Phil Ryan with a luncheon at the Naval Station Club where there were: Stan Neander, Shel and Dave Taylor, Alene and Dick Smith, Mary Ellen and Dick Prescott, Marjorie and Frank Cassilly, Bob Muck, Teri and John Malloy, Judy and Mark Frudden, Dorothy and Wayne Jensen, Mary Lou and Dick Thurston, Phyl Howard, Bill Grimm, Lee Baggett, Fish Whaley and Bets and Phil. We received a good briefing on reunion operations from Phil and had a lot of questions. Bob Muck reminded all that our 14th of February Valentines party at the San Diego Yacht Club was really just around the corner Further that we should appreciate the fact that he. Bob, has to arra wrestle Andy Kreram '51 each year for the use of the yacht club facilities on that date. Bill Grimm has now officially joined the Class of '50 San Diego Golf team and will participate as a regular. He had planned to have his golf clubs recovered but then decided to go all out and get a new set of Ping 2's. His game is coming along nicely and says, "Shoot, making the varsity wasn't hard at all."

Lee Baggett has offered to join the team whenever there is an opening. The regulars, in addition to Bill are: Dave Taylor, Wayne Jensen, Stan Neander and John Malloy with John Tillson '51 a valued substitute.

At the regular NavSta October luncheon we had: Tom Noble, Dick Prescott, Mark Frudden, John Malloy, Wayne Jensen, Charlie Clark, Tom Kolstad, Frank Cassilly, Dick Thurston and Dick Martin. Marcia and Charlie Clark had just retumed from an Elderhostel bike tour of East Anglia and highly recommend such an adventure. Hotel accommodations and meals were excellent. Charlie reports that in East Anglia in September the rain is warm, the winds are light and the hills are slight. Teri and John Malloy celebrated their 39th anniversary by vacationing in the Canadian Rockies and playing golf at Banff Springs and Jasper Park. They had good timing in that granddaughter, Jonna, (named for Dad and granddad) arrived in the moming of the Malloy departure to pass inspection and to wish a 'Bon Voyage.'

Frank Cassilly has instituted a tutoring program for grade school children having trouble with math.

Marjorie and Frank are associated with a local school where children are nominated by their teacher. There are 17 'students' now and the Cassillys are pleased that they can do something on a personal basis with the education problem in this country.

On 10 October the Charlie Clarks decided they wanted something special in honor of the visit of Eleanor and Tom Noble and so they had a delightful dinner gathering where our Aimapolis guests were greeted by: Fish Whaleys, Dick Martins, Dick Prescotts, Frank Cassissys, Murray Kaplan, Tom Kolstads, John Molloys, and Lloyd Harrisons.

Courtesy of Lt. Dennis E Yeatman SC USN '83 we have information on the BUDGET and ADMINISTRATION of Midshipmen's Pay for year from 1 June 1949 to 1 June 1950: Gross Pay-All Classes—$936 per year. The following information pertains to academic year 1991-1992: Gross Pay-All Classes— $543.90 per month. But then our laundry was $96 per year as compared to $708 today. Why was it we always seemed to have money in the "old days?" It couldn't have been just because of cheap laundry!

At the 17 October meeting of the Alunmi Association Chapter for San Diego/Coronado we learned more of the June Week West '92 cruise in SOUTHWARD on 26 to 29 June 1992 out of Los Angeles. Interest was high and reservations were coming in at a goodly rate. Bill St. George '47, Co-Chairman of the SecNav Advisory Coraraittee for Navy's Retired Affairs was our guest speaker and managed to set us on a correct course for our own personal planning.

Pres., Cdr. Jack Hamilton USN (Ret.) Sec'y, William M. Boyes, Jr. 2214 McAuliffe Drive Rockville, Md. 20851 Judging by the letters and phone calls from all over the place—from Woody Johns and Bob Bradley in Califomia, Nails Ver der Naillen in Texas, Paul Barnes in Georgia, Bob Miller in Pennsylvania, and Bob Kalisch and Bill Lawrence locally—and many phone calls both locally and afar, the 40th reunion was a resounding success. The changes from the 35th were instruraental in this judgment—buses on tirae and available throughout the weekend, hospitality suiterauchexpanded from the crowded conditions in the former comer suite, banquet on Friday so we didn't have to rush home from the game and dress up on Saturday, seafood feast also at the Holiday Inn— and a new and intense Academy schedule that included briefing by the Supe, classroom visits, lunch with the Mids, tours of the grounds, and the usual YPs. The golf (with catered lunch) and tennis were great, the sailing in yawls went well—everyone was accommodated. The relaxed atmosphere, meaning that everyone had a better chance to raeet with all the people they wanted. It was super, and again, many thanks to those mentioned in the November issue who made it all possible—the Boyces, with help from a number of wives on Thursday, the Winnefelds, Stockdales, Doggetts, Powers, Smalls, and of course the Board, who acted as coordinators. The Hospitality Suite in the Conference Center was perhaps the best add-on, with much room for the Boyce displays, including a video of Jack McQueston's father's movie camera footage frora our First Class year—and the offerings of the Stockdales and their crews. And Jim Winnefeld knocked hiraself out setting up activities in the Yard, including afirstwith the classroom visits—all events being well attended.

Walt Boyes got the buses organized, a big success.

There were many iimovations, and some problems, uhimately solved by Paul Tuzo. Again, raany thanx to all who helped in seeting up the reunion. It will especially be remembered for the people who came for the first time since graduation. Sorry more than the 570 who showed couldn't attend.

The Annual Meeting on Saturday included presentations of plagues to Jay Woodbury, Lowell Stockdale, Bill S. Thompson and Paul Tuzo for excep-

tional services to the Board and to the Class. Paul Tuzo was reelected Treasurer, Walt Boyes is the new Secretary, Ward de Groot the Vice President, Lee Doggett, Bob Small, and Bob Swart the new Directors and YT the new President.

We'll mail the new Directory in November to those who did not attend, along with a wrap-up of the reunion and our financial status. You missed a true blast!

Of note in the new Directory are two items: Lee and Bill S. Thompson's street address in Florida should be 30238 vice 30328; and there should be a space between entries for Norris and Stan Anderson at the top of the middle column on page 1. Sorry about that.

Pres., Louis K. McMillan, Jn Sec'y, Capt. Ed L. Ebbert USN (Ret.) 2514 Culpeper Rd., Alexandria, Va. 22308 Fall has just begun to show as I write this column.

As you read it, many of you will have gathered in Class groups for the Array-Navy garae, sorae in Philadelphia, others at homes. How does it feel to be going into the 40th year since graduation?

Mail from you has slowed down. Not untypical of this time of year. Jim Fischer provided a pictiire of the Wendy Stockdales and Jim at the Camelback Inn in Scottsdale, Ariz. Jim said that they did not recognize each other during a dark bus ride to a balloon launch site and then as they began talking, they were in a discussion about Lancaster and Reading before they realized that they knew each other As a result of the balloon flight, they were designated "Aerostatic Adventurers." Both Wendy and Jim highly recommend a hot air balloon ride for everyone. Small world. Thanks, Jim, for the input.

can remember what the pay was? The document starts out "A midshipraan's pay is $78.00 per month.

This pay is closely administered over the four-year period for the midshipman so that upon graduation he will have a cash balance to help him start his Naval Career . . . " This was designed to have an account (ESTIMATED) balance at the end of our 1/c year of $259.03. He sent the curtent midshipman's pay scales, a partial list for the academic year 1991-1992 is included for comparison: Gross Pay—All Classes $543.90; Cash Pay per Month 4/c 50.00; 3/c 150.00; 2/c 250.00; and 1/c 325.00.

More next month on the Homecoming activities.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Pres., Adm. Carlisle A. H. Trost USN (Ret.) Sec'y LCol. David B. Jones USAF (Ret.) 6708 Pageland Lane, Gainesville, Va. 22065 The Navy team has, as of this writing, lost its first four games, and, frankly, the future does not look good. They are not playing good football, and sadly, they often appear as if they are not well coached. The schedule has become much weaker but, unfortunately, so has the team. The tailgates are still fun but the games aren't! One other sad aspect of the football weekends—Ned Snyder, one of our number one fans has kidney problems and is on dialysis. We hope the docs get hira better fast so he can rejoin us at the game and share our dismay. Get well soon Ned. Enough of the misgivings about the Navy team.

When Ifinishedlast month's column 1 thought I'd be hurting for news for this colurrm as there was only going to be two weeks between columns—not so!

The mail gods were kind as Tom Fitzgerald, Art Barke and Bill DeHart all wrote. Thanks, guys. In addition there were two tailgates and a Class luncheon during the two weeks also. I will thus save the 16th Company biographies for some of the Dark Age's columns when news is really scarce.

When these are paid off at the end of the year we will have collected $348,561.00 and Bruce thinks with a few outstanding matching corporate contributions we should reach the $350,000.00 mark. That's a pretty outstanding accomplishment. Bruce thinks we all should feel proud. 1 agree. We have also noted that the pavilion is now being used— '51 just had their 40th in it and liked it. That too is good news.

Pictures this month include the shot of Bill DeHart with Sue and Jim Rodgers; a shot of Billy Kellum, Irv Boeskool and Hart Sebring; a shot of Tony Dowd, Joy Chace, Pat Dowd and Stub Chace; Tony Dowd with Joe and Sheila Gildea and Karen Trueblood; Sally and Darrell Dempster with their daughter Holly—isn't Sally's sweater neat?; a shot of Doris and JJ Connolly; a shot of Hart SebringfixingBob Cox's chili dog, with the Zirps and the Griggs in the background; and a shot of Irv Boeskool checking the hot dogs while Cricket Johnson looks on.

60th Birthday sail we had a splendid go at it and a fine day of sailing as well." He also says his wife Frances is not in the picture because she was taking the picture. Thanks, Bill, and Happy 60th—funny, 1 thought you were older than me.

The tailgates have been great. We have developed an instant tradition of bringing a couple of portable gas grills and doing such things as hot dogs, chili, baked beans, etc., plus we have a couple of tables that we set up and load with assorted pasta salads, snacks, cookies, tarts, fruits, cheeses, dips etc. The ladies have done a super job as have the men who man the grills and stir the pots. As with lots of '53 activities it is not terribly organized, but it has been very successful, and there has been plenty for all. At the most recent garae Sheila and Joe Gildea brought a bunch of Pennsylvania State Champion hot dogs. Sheila wasn't quite sure how they had eamed the title but she was sure they were delicious, and they were! The October 12th tailgate will be our annual pavilion party. We won't do hot dogs, but will have grilled chicken and ribs by Adams Ribs caterers. They have done several of our earlier parties and they are good.

Hopefully, the chance to beat Air Force may inspire our football team to heights they have yet to reach— that's keeping a good thought! I have taken a lot of new tailgate pictures during the past few weeks and you will see some of them in this and future columns.

I'm sure some of you are tired of seeing old pictures—now you'll just see some old people. (Isn't getting old hell?) Jack Davison has a new small Sony video camera and has been firing away with it. He told me that he thinks he can play with his video tapes and his computer system and maybe make some single frame prints. I told him if he could make sorae single prints and if Shipmate could handle them we could be the first Class with video pictures. And we might get sorae good shots cause Jack has shot lots of tape.

Ruth and Irv Boeskool missed the last tailgate as Irv took a week off and went to Bill Bentley's camp (cabin) in Maine for a week long boys night out with Os Dixon and Bill. The three of them were roommates for all four years at the Academy. This was the first time they had all been together in a number of years. Bill's cabin is way up in Northwest Maine near the town, or village, of Rangely. Irv says they had a great time and the three of them wonder if there are any other threesomes or foursomes who spent all four years rooming together If any of you did please respond. It will give you a reason to write and will give me some news and maybe some new names to print.

At the luncheon Bruce Borthwick reported on the Class project. A grand total of 400 Classmates, widows, friends and corporations contributed to the project. To date we have collected over $337,000.00 and have over $9,000.00 in pledges still outstanding.

Kellum, Boeskool, and Sebring We are taking a cmise from Montreal to Nassau and had written to Nancy and Brad Sutter in Montreal to tell them we were coming and would like to see them. Well last night we got a call from Brad who

said he had retired the end of September and they have moved out of Montreal. 1 told him we hoped we hadn't made them take such a drastic step. He assured us the retirement was planned before they got 97

our letter They are now travelling in the States visiting children and friends for several months while they wait for the renters to get out of their home in Kansas City. They will live there for a couple of years for tax purposes and during those years will be looking for where they eventually want to move perraanently They do hope to make some Homecomings and the 40th. We are sorry we will miss them in Montreal— we were looking forward to having Nancy interpret and translate for us. But we are glad that they are retired now and thus will be available for travel, reunions, and tailgates, etc.

Also got a call from Wanda and Fred Mann. Fred has just retired from Texas Instruments and the two of them were visiting their daughter Nancy and their son-in-law Ray, who are Marine Captains at Quantico. We made a date with Wanda and Fred for a dinner later in the week and will then find out from Fred how bad conditions are in the electronics industry.

Art Barke wrote a short note saying that a couple of months ago, from out of the blue he had received a letter from Pug McCarty. He went on to say that he hadn't heard from Pug in about 20 years, but that Pug is now working for the same company Art worked for in Saudi Arabia between 1984 and 1988 and that is how Pug got Art's address. Art wrote back suggesting Pug write me too. Pug said he didn't have my address (must not be a Shipmate reader) but that Art could forward his latest letter on to me. Art passed his letter on and also sent Pug my address and suggested he join the Alumni Association so he could keep up with Class activities. You're a good man Art—1 couldn't have done it better—Thanks.

Pug's letter is very long so I'll make a two or three parter out of it. Part one: He works for the Royal Saudi Navy as a Lear Siegler eraployee. He spent the Gulf War in Jubail which is on the East coast between Dharan and the Kuwait border He says that during the war all dependents were sent horae and even Sperry evacuated in mid-January Only about 30 Americans remained behind and they worked directly for die RSNF. With his wife Kathryn evacuated his only household company was his dog Rex and he doesn't know what he would have done without Rex who is a five year old Siberian Husky that he had got when they lived in the Hood Canal area of Washington state. Besides being a lot of company. Rex soraehow always seeraed to know when the Scuds were coming and would wake Pug with his howls. He always beat the warning sirens. Pug doesn't know how he did it and wonders if he could actually hear the Scuds. They got Scud attacks steady for about two weeks, always from about midnight to 0300. The very first one he observed through his bedroom window. He had awakened because of Rex's howling and thought some of the British guard dogs had broken loose. Then he saw the Scud—like heat lightning, with two pops and a very loud wham! After the first week of this they were holding Scud watch parties.

Nobody was sleeping anyway. One Scud landed behind a Navy Ammo Ship at the Jubail port and barely missed the stern. Divers went down and raised what was left of the thing. Jubail port had only about 25,000 tons of bombs stored everywhere along the wharf area. It was definitely a lucky miss. He goes on to say that before the shooting started they would drive up to Khafji and the Iraqi border every weekend with 7-Ups, Pepsis and the like for the troops. "We must have had 30 or raore 4x4's each tirae. I really don't know who had more fun, the troops getting the free drinks, candy, etc., or us ole f—s giving it away." Must have been interesting Pug, particularly when Rex started to howl. Thanks, more from Pug next month, and maybe the following month also— that's a long letter Pug's address is Capt. C M.

Lt. Dennis Yeatman, the Midshipman Financial Advisor, after reviewing the Academy's financial records going back to 1929, found the 1953 USNA budget and sent rae a copy. It has some nostalgic info in it which I will report on frora time to time. For this month I will just note that as Firsties we got $13 cash per month. The current Firsties get $325 per month—bom too soon? Thanks, Lt. Yeatman. More later That is it for this month. Don't forget Class luncheons are on the first Tuesday of each month at the Ft.

Kellogg Co. for whom I've worked mostly since 1974. This project is a 240 million dollar Refinery Upgrade of four old units for TRINTOC (Trinidad and Tobago Oil Company). The project will go on until the end of 1994 at which time I intend to retire and go sailing for a few years, then return to the Annapolis area as home base. I am having a 50 foot steel hull sailboat built starting 1 November that I have been working on the design with Bruce Roberts. I have been a sailor since the age of 13 and have never gotten it out of my system. The boat will be ready by May '92 when I intend to sail it to Trinidad.

In early June, I spent two weeks on assignment at Chevron's El Segundo, Califomiarefineryand managed a weekend visit with my roomie Doral Sandlin and his wife Terry at San Luis Obispo. Stan Keck was in town so he and his wife Jean came to Sunday branch. I had intended to see more Southem Califomia Classmates on that trip, but it was cut short. While in Houston I made a trip to San Antonio and visited with Lee and Walt Schumaim. In mid June Sandy Sandlin made a Cape Kennedy trip and paid a retum visit to me in Fort Lauderdale.

My wife, Jean, is staying in our Fort Lauderdale house along with number 5 son who is six years old and in thefirstgrade. My oldest is 36 and my youngest is six! (5 sons and 1 daughter.) Jean is from Eastbourne, Sussex, England. We met in Saudi Arabia in 1977 and married in Alexandria, Va. in 1980 while residents in Trinidad. She hadn't had any children so you can guess the rest.

We are visiting back and forth until we sail the boat to Trinidad. After Jean comes down we plan to be in shape for visitors. My office phone is 809658-7517. . . . With warm regards to all, Lee.

Lee Sandlin and Lee Wood Shipmate, December 1991

Thanks to Bill Hoover for the before and after basketball team photos. Bill also has given me permission to publish excepts from a letter he wrote in August 1983 in response to a request for his reflections on his career . . .

I suppose like many of us at the many of us at the Academy, I really didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up and more or less sttimbled into the Air Force. For me the prospect offlyingseemed like an exciting replacement for varsity sports. Being on the ground floor of afledgingservice seemed more challenging than going into the old line Navy, and somehow being at sea for several years didn't seem to be the tonic after being cooped up for four years.

Nonetheless, what I leamed at the Academy, the values it gave me, the seed of duty and service to country that was planted carried over very well and have been the basis for whatever success I have enjoyed or whatever contribution I have been able to make to the Air Force. (Juite frankly, I think we did bring a heritage—something different than the old Army Air Corps, the long gray line of West Point, or the kid fresh from civilian life—that has not only served the Air Force well but has given it some of its uniqueness. . . . . . . In relecting over [my] career, I'll mention only two accomplishments that may be indicative of retum on investment from the Academy. One, the most rewarding, and the second, the most improbable.

'The most rewarding'—and bizarre—was serving as the last Wing Commander at Da Nang, Vietnam. It really brought to the test every skill I had leamed from the day I walked into the Academy through my career to that point. Every course in leadership, management, innovative thinking— practical experience—not to mention F-4 combat upgrade—had to be brought to bear to keep five thousand guys' heads together under the most difficult circumstances—when everyone else had pulled out and while at the same time the conflict was escalating.

'The most improbable' is my present job— responsibility for the Nation's Nuclear Weapons Program—when nothing in my background either academically or service connected suggests I should be doing it. In some small way I think, a tribute to the broad guage education and development we had at the Academy.

Let me close by saying that as the years have gone by for me the ties to the Class and the Academy have grown stronger along with dedication to Air Force and country. I think we are indeed fortumate to have experieced the heritage that both the Air Force and the Naval Academy have given us—hopefully we have been able to give some small measure back . . . William W. Hoover, Major General, USAF Deputy Assistant Secretary Military Application Defense Programs . . .

I am most concemed about a letter which has come to my attention, and quite reluctant to publish it.

However, the seriousness of the contents and ludicrous charges against Class officers must be told and shared with all of you. It seems that certain minority members of our fratemity have contacted an unsavory, unscmpulous character palming himself off as a legitimate lawyer in order to create a sraoke screen and descention in the ranks. The letter is addressed to our Class President: I am not sure how to address you—Colonel, President, Doctor Fitz Woodrow? When Ifirstcontacted an officer of your particular group, this Class of '54, it was a Mr. Edward Dawson, a bit of an incoherent chap. He initially confused me, or better stated, he was quite confused. He said something about playing shortstop for Max Bishop and that he was a Red Hot aviator I have been quite successful in dealing with the CEO or Chairman of an organization to get quick and equitable restitutions. You being the Colonel, Doctor and President, I feel I am dealing on the highest level.

On 15 September, Mr. Stephen Eisenhauer of Virginia, Mr Anthony Correnti of Los Angeles and Mr. Robert Schlenzig of Coronado met in my San Francisco office and they provided me with evidence that your organization had willfully missued their names in some tabloid called Shipmate. This

Navy Basketball, 1954

'54 Basketball in 1991: Klune, Hogan, Hoover, Sandlin, Anderson and ladies. appeared on page 75 of the September issue in a picture where three persons who obviously needed some prominent names under their pictures to get it published or even to get someone to look at the picture. The allegation is that the three persons in the pictures are holding half empty alcoholic beverage glasses, thus they appear to be somewhat under the influence of alcohol. I can confirm that my clients do not drink! One thought comes to mind—either the three persons who have been identified as one John Juergens, one Frederick Franco and one Richard Damico are probably somewhat senile and couldn't remember their names or they wanted others to think they were the elite of this Class of' 54 by latching on to the names of my clients. Or perhaps the photographer asked them—'If you had to do it all over again, who would you most like to be?'

There are however, some connections or similarities between these three imposters and my clients which might have confused this secretary character, one Ed Dawson—remember, the shortstop. As I recall, they did not use batter's helmets in those days and he might have suffered some kind of injury that has affected him in his autumn years. If that is so I am sure that I can get my clients to withdraw their suit if this '54 group will reimburse them for their plane fares to San Francisco. By the way.

they actually made me an Honorary Member of this '54 Group. Back to similarities—Eisenhauer and Juergens have Teutonic or Nordic names but one was a middle guard and the other a discus thrower Now this Franco chap and my client Correnti were both GOAT KEEPERS—Did they come from a cattle area? Anthony said that the only reason that Franco made it as a fiillback is because he wasn't good enough to play defense—couldn't make a tackle if his life depended on it! Also Franco was a 5-year 'Red-Shirt' even before the NCAA invented the word and he was the only footballer who couldn't pass Pop Bland's math tests! Now Damico and Schlenzig were roommates Plebe Year and both work for SAIC. So you were not too wrong on them.

They and their drags always stayed at Tom and Fran Leitch's at 63 Franklin St. on weekends. However, this familiarity does not reduce the severity of the allegations . . . and, yes, Eisenhauer, Franco and Correnti were Marines, . . . Big Deal!!

Now, Woodfitz, sorry . . . you have so many titles, Dr, Col., Pres., Indian Chief. What concerns my clients so much is that not one of the graduates of the '54 Group contacted them about this misrepresentation. They did receive however 275 calls, letters or faxes from members of the '57 Group, their Plebes. These respectful chaps were most con-

Ex-footballers cemed that these 'famous names' of their Firsties were attached to those unsavory characters in the Shipmate picture!!

Fitzie, I've won many cases in Hollywood against the STAR, the ENQUIRER and other supermarket tabloids, so I suggest that you act promptly and have your attomies contact me directly. Any contact between the motley trio in the picture and my clients will be unacceptable and unethical . . . Signed, Belvin Melli, Esq. Due to the magnitude of the charges we have contacted the law offices of Laurel, Hardy, Abbott and Costello in Washington. Who is this guy Melli anyhow? We have retained a Mr Rex Neptunus, the world renowned sea lawyer \!

Since Mr. Melli has made such strong accusations he should probably be made aware of the credibility of those he has chosen to represent in this case. None of these clients has ever admitted it, but each of them has always wanted to be a shortstop. For example, when Bob Schlenzig tried out for the Plebe team he "booted" so many grounders that Max Bishop recommended that he try out for the soccer team. When told this. Bob claimed to be a very swift runner and asked to be retained as a "pinch runner" Max put him on first base and told him to steal second base. He was successful, but was immediately cut from the teara when he wouldn't put it back. Varsity track inherited his fleet-footed talents and another star was bom!

Steve Eisenhauer reported to the baseball field during Plebe Summer He went right up to coach Max Bishop and said: "Mr. Erdelatz, I want to play shortstop . . . hut one, hut two . . . " Alas, it was never meant to be for Ike! . . . And now it can be told . . . after all these years the truth prevails! That's right . . . Tony Correnti always wanted to be a shortstop! The facts have been there for years but never brought forward until now that his Melli chap has forced our hand to reveal that Tony is a "closet shortstop!"

It all started back in St. Louis in the late 1940's when Tony wanted to be a catcher on the local sandlot team. Unfortunately, every baseball team Tony tried out for . . . there was Joe Garragiola! It was like a nightmare to Tony. Joe was always there, he couldn't get rid of him!! As an alternative to suicide Tony comtemplated joining the Marines! He even put in his name as a second altemate appointee behind Dick Padberg and Dick Boverie. to the Naval Academy.

He was desperate and was willing to do anything to get out of St. Louis where he was doomed for failure.

Unbelievably all three were accepted on the same ticket. Already this smells of dirty politics . . . an under the table deal all the way since Tony's family was active in the dry cleaning business in town and Tony used to drive a truck for the Cosa Nostra Cleaners. It gets better, and I have proof of this, after Tony entered USNA. Tony had made up his mind that he would never become a catcher When he went out for baseball

Plebe Summer he told Max Bishop he always wanted to be a shortstop. After demonstrating his infield abilities he was asked if there was any other position he could play . . . Tony still couldn't say i t . . . if he mentioned "catcher" surely Gartagiola would show up! To his disbelief. Max shared with Tony that we needed a good "backstop." Tony said nothing, but he walked slowly to the dug out and methodically donned the "tools of ignorance," the chest protecter, the shin guards, the face mask and the catcher's mitt.

He slowly and deliberately made his way towards home plate, confident that he was finally going to make it as a catcher When he got to the plate there was already someone catching . . . Tony looked at Max, Max stared at Tony, Tony's eyes slowly went downcast, to the plate and back to Max when he got the final word . . . "I said I need a backstop, Tony, not a catcher. How about getting back there to retrieve any passed balls," said Max. As Tony left the field he was heard to be muttering "I really always wanted to be a shortstop."

This frustration never left Tony Correnti. The proof is found on page 213 of the 1954 year book the Lucky Bag where Tony actually states that he was on the varsity baseball team Second and First Class years! I've looked through the team rosters and inspected the team photos for those years, but no Tony??? Lucky for Navy though that Tony found his way to the gridiron where he excelled before thousands of cheering fans as he continued to "Beat Army." During First Class year Correnti and Franco were indeed the keepers of Bill, the Goat at athletic events. Many a time we've heard them say "This job stinks!!" . . . Belvin MeUi, eat your heart out!! By the way, one of ray sources has actually spotted Tony at a local school yard asking the kids "Can I play shortstop . . . please? . . . huh? . . . Hey, come on, guys . . . Gee whiz."

1 am always please to hear frora long-time readers who are also first-time writers. Dean Wilson Ervin checks in from Wilton, Connecticut: You do a great job as Corresponding Sec'yâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; interesting, humorous and sensitiveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;so I thought I'd pass along some grist for your mill.

I've been particularly inspired by John Clune's retirement. Finally! As a friend and neighbor in the 12th Company I got to watch him closely for four years, and I must say I'm not surprised that he was the last to hang it up. His military bearing was clear from the Fall of 1950, particularly in P-rades. John's feet alway hit the ground at the right time, but John and Ham Caldwell had bodies that moved up when all the other 4,000 or so of us were moving down.

There is no question in my mind that John and Ham were the ones who had it right!

John wasn't a big striper, but he was ready if called. Most of the Class didn't know it, but a few of us in the 12th Company had a shadow brigade staff in case some catastrophy wiped out the official guys. John was ready to step in. We practiced frequently, and even had our own band [a Plebe violin-

Shipmate, December 1991

ist]. I think John allowed Rod Crawford to be the shadow six-striper while John was a kind of shadow to the shadow six-striper Actually, I had John pegged for the Supply Corps because he and Ned Hogan had a Uiriving sandwich business, but I guess the commissary margins were too low for him. The Air Force got a great guy, and they certainly knew what to do with him! WTiat a job he did as A.D. in Colorado Springs.

Ham Caldwell may be the last of '54 still going to school. He claims he will get his Ph.D. in Military History next year and may then finally go to work. He saw Charlie Isbell recently. Charlie is coaching and teaching math at a prep school in Virginia. He has clearly come a long way, because when Charlie was my roommate he could get lost on the log-log scale of the slide rale. By the way, I talked to Ham last week and he informed me that he because a bridegroom last Summer.

As for me, I left the Navy in 1958 (shore duty in Las Vegas convinced me) and went to Harvard for an MBA. After a long and varied corporate career in strategic planning, mergers and acquisitions, and general management jobs, I switched to a service field and am currenUy a Senior Vice President in a career counseling/outplacement firm in New York.

Cynthia and I have lived in Wilton, Connecticut for 28 years and have two terrific kids. . . . Beat [Army] somebody! Regards, Dean Thanks, Dean, for your kind words and interesting letter to the Class. As the year comes to a close and 1 complete my second year as your corresponding secretary let me express my sincere appreciation for your ctxjperation and continuing support in helping make this column informative and fun. It has truly been my pleasure to be able to contribute my time to the great Class of 1954 in this manner Thank you all for the confidence you have placed in me.

May God bless you and your family with good health, prosperity and happiness as you worship and praise Him this glorious holiday season. . . .Eddie.

Pres., LCdr. Dennis Sullivan USN (Ret.) Cort. Sec'y, Capt. Thomas G. Kiefaber USN (Ret.) 10522 Bimham Rd., Great FaUs, Va. 22066 On October 4, 1991, our president, Denny Sullivan, represented the Class of 1955 at the forraal dedication of the Brigade Activity Center, now officially named Alumni Hall. The dedication was attended by principal donors and representatives from Classes and organizations which made significant contributions toward construction of the building.

Besides Denny, Dick Peterson, Wave G r a h a m , Jack Renard and Otto Zipf were present. The dedication program Usted Duck Durgin, Mel Fisher and Otto Zipf as major (Blue & Gold) contributors but only Otto was able to attend.

As of 1 September the Class had contributed more dian $400,000 toward the construction of Alumni Hall which places us in second place among contributing Classesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;behind '46. In recognition of this fine showing, the Class has been given a first floor landing area (approximately 12 x 50 feet) facing Worden Field and the Sevem to decorate in commemoration of the accomplishments of the Class. Geoff Gardner is working on this project with some local Classmates and we hope to have a formal ceremony there during our fortieth reunion in 1995. As previously mentioned in this column, if any Classmates have any thoughts about the decoration, please give Geoff a call at (703) 241-0018.

On the next day, the interior of the building, including die auditorium, the stage and support areas were dedicated as the Bob Hope Performing Arts Center Class Vice President John Adams and his wife Debbie represented '55 at this event. The dedi-

Shipmate, December 1991

The Gehrings in Mexico cation program included: welcoming remarks by RAdm. Lynch; the introduction of Bob Hope by Mr. Chapman B. Cox, President, World USO; remarks

by Bob Hope; and a musical salute to Mr. Hope by the Midshipmen Glee Club, the Naval Academy Band, and a guest vocalist, Hope's wife Dolores. John reports that the Bob Hope Performing Arts Center is a world-class facility that will serve the Naval Academy for many years to come. It is named after a true patriot, a friend of the Naval Academy and the Naval Service. Bob Hope was obviously touched by the honor of having his name permanently associated with the Naval Academy and stated that among all the highs in his long lifetime, this honor is by far the highest.

Phil Gehring writes: Being a lifetime member of the Alumni Association, I eagerly look for the '55 column and the stories about our Classmates. I still have some contact with my "wife" J. R. Stevens and my friend Joe Chmelik. However, except for those 22nd Company mates, I'm afraid I'm out of touch.

After 24 exciting years with the Air Force, including time as an ICBM combat crew commander, my priority retirement decision was to opt for quality of life. So, my choice was to live in Austin, Texas. Prior lo leaving the service, I managed to take a Ph.D. in Computing Science at Texas A&M. My strong social service interests, however, led me into education. I am now an Assistant to the State Deputy Commissioner of Education for Curricu-

lum. Professional affiliations enabled me to cause the state of Texas to mandate a course in Computer literacy for all 7th grade students. That happened about 8 years ago.

From that humble beginning, Texas now has computer technology being used and studied from first grade through high school. I'm proud of that accomplishment which took two years of organizational and lobbying efforts. I do a lot of public speaking and some television presentations . . . however, the real pleasure in my work comes from helping to improve the education system for all children in this great states.

Paulette, my wife of 33 years passed away over four years ago. I am now remarried to Sandra Beasley, a young Texas lady and currently the District Sales Manager for Apple Computer in central Texas. Sandy has two children by a previous marriage. Our daughter is a junior at the University of Texas studying psychology. Our son is a junior in high school and is a math/science/computer whiz.

My four children are all doing well. My daughter Nannette, the youngest, just graduated as a Doctor of Veterinary MedicinefromTexas A&M. Two sons are also graduates of Texas A&M. One son, Christopher, is with Dell Computer and technically sets up all their European offices. My oldest son, Philip Geoffrey is manager of a restaurant in Austin. My third son, Nick, a young man with special needs since birth, works for a janitorial service, is married to a college graduate and provided us with our first granddaughter.

I'm still a formidable opponent in handball and play regularly. My tennis game ain't bad but I don't chase lobs! We have a 25 foot sloop docked on Lake Travis and we love to sail and camp out on the boat.

Life is good and we are living it to the fullest.

Everyone is always surprised by our wonderful lakes and the beauty of this hill country region of Texas. I encourage anyone who is traveling this way to call ahead and rest for a spell and maybe sail along with us while sampling our excellent Texas wines.

Phil made a substantial contribution to the Brigade Activity Center and is very pleased about our Class having a dedication on the first landing. He has passed on a suggested commemoration to Geoff Gardner for the Alumni Hall.

Potpourriâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Did you know: We have ten Classmates who are still only 57 years old and ten who are 62? And one who's 64! How'd that happen? When we were Midshipmen, we were paid at the rate of $81.12 per month? Today, Midshipmen are paid $543.90 monthly.

Peterson USN (Ret.) 13007 Clarion Rd., Fort Washington, Md. 20744 By the time that this gets into print another Class reunion will be history and the group can start planning for the next big one. For all of you who missed the 35th this year start making plans to be at the 40th in 1996! It's not that far away. It was great seeing all of the Classmates who made it to Annapolis this year and hope that you out of towners will not take so long to come back next time.

1 recently received a copy of the 1955-56 Midn. budget and in order to put things in perspective, thought I'd include some info here. As First Class we received a whopping $15.00 per month. (1st Class now gets $325.) Initial Mid Store issue was $391 and is now $2350, but then we got a slide rule and they get computers (I still can't work either one). Our overcoats cost $77.30 and inflation has risen their cost to $293. We enjoyed the luxury of haircuts every week and still only had to pay $192 per year for them and laundry. Currently costs for personal services are

101

$59 per month. Not being an economics major, I won't go into the value of the dollar then and now. As the book says, "the student can readily see . . . " The Navy Chapel in Washington was the site of the recent wedding as Ed Sechrest escorted daughter Kim down the aisle. It seems like just a few years back when Ed and 1 would retum from the Fort Ord golf course for a cold one and see Kim in her rocking chair waiting for her daddy to play with her (instead of studying). I'm sure that Peggy and Ed are delighted.

Congratulations are in order to Jack Janetatos who was recentiy elected as President of the Marine Machinery Association. Jack has been associated with the MMA for many years and an official of their organization since its founding.

As promised in September, the picture on the cover of the 14 October 1955 Splinter is none other than the 5th Company's Charlie Wilson. Not too many people tried to answer the question and I wonder if you are reading the column?

Pres., LCol. George F. Warren USMC (Ret.) Con. Sec'y Capt. W. H. Peerenboom USN (Ret.) 1003 Rachel Lane, Vienna, Va. 22180 We have but one "incoming" this month, which is both long and newsworthy, since it is from our President-elect, Walt Meukow, and details the status of planning for the thirty-fifth reunion . . . time sure flies when you're having fun! His letter; The following attended the second meeting of the thirty-fifth reunion committee on 8 October: Bob Albertson, John Stacey, George Philipps, Jim Poole, Fred Howe, Bob Rositzke, Skip Rutemiller, Mickey Film and Walt Meukow.

Walt gave out financial data from the thirtieth, which Don Regenhardt had provided to give everyone a set of baseline figures. Timelines, issues to be addressed, and estimated costs were highlighted.

In Dave Cooper's absence, Wah tabled a hotel reconfirmation letter tiiat quoted group rates at $115/ single and $125/double. Some concem was expressed over the higher than expected rates. Five years' escalation since the thirtieth, premium for location near the Yard and stadium, and considerable cost avoidance in transportation were mitigating, and made the price seem more reasonable. Price comparison was felt wartanted. The policy of keeping hotel reservations strictly between the hotel and the individual was reaffirmed.

Mickey Finn is in charge of raeraentos, and showed several options, which he will pursue as to pinning down price. The diaraond studded Class Crests, while elegant, were deemed off the scale.

George Philipps will be handling the tailgate, and is going to insure that sorae sort of covering is provided, lest we get rained on or sunbumed. George will also look into getting the '53 pavilion before rendering afinaldecision on a tent. (Perhaps he can convince sorae of the '53 grads who did our Plebe Suramer to serve drinks as a way of repaying us for the fun we provided them at the outset of their careers).

Skip Rutemiller is engaged in the task of updating all the various Class lists, notably that of Dick Scales, and the Alumni Association. Skip will then provide address labels to the publicity coordinator and the 24 Company Reps.

Speaking of Company Reps, Jim Poole reported making real progress pinning several of them down, with the 16th Company once again proving somewhat elusive. (Let's nominate George O'Brien). Jim will send out coraraitment cards with the January '92 mailing. (Which you'll see in the near future after you read this).

Walt reported on Tim Anderson's efforts to get appropriate material for the planned Class video from the RAO at the Academy. He'll provide a list of what he has, but pickings are slim on Class of '57 specific material. We will be able to get plenty of shots of the yard as it looked in that epoch, as well as some fine materials including Bud Edney's tour as Commandant, and Ron Marryott's as Supe. Walt is working several other ideas, for example, cartooning using our cartoonists, Aronson and Rogers to provide transition frames. Bob Rositzke advised that he has the necessary equipment to digitize almost any picture or visual presentation. He is working on a video for the USMA Class of '56 and those efforts will hone his skills for our project. Walt emphasized the fact that this is not an attempt to glorify any individual, but rather want to recapture our four years in a nostalgic and humorous manner (treating them with the same level of seriousness that we did the first time). While the video will highlight special achievers, it's really for all of us. Your job (readers), is to provide pictures, slides, movies, videos, tapes, and whatever else you can think of to weave the story into an experience.

I must admit to having taken a few editorial liberties with Walt's prose, partiy to trim out some of the less significant detail, and partly because I always feel compelled to comment on Walt's work, just to prove I read it.

Our honorary Classmate Byron Holderby has been transferred from duty as the Chaplain Detailer, and he and his lovely wife Barbara are enjoying the sunshine in Hawaii, where Byron is the CincPacFleet Chaplain. (How do you suppose he got that job)? Byron and Barbara are living at 19 Makalapa Drive in Honolulu, 96818.

Lee Holthaus reports the Naval Academy Alumni Association held a Dedication Dinner on 4 October to recognize the contributions of the Alumni to the Campaign for the United States Naval Academy. Our Class was represented by three members and their ladies; Class President Paul Polski; Lee Holthaus, who was a Campaign Director; and Bob Jones, a notable contributor Our Class is a member of the Franklin Buchanan Society for contributing its $250,000 gift. Both Holdiaus and Jones are in the Blue and Gold Society for individual gifts. Another member of the Franklin Buchanan Society is Mr. Bemard E. Smith '47, whose donation was dedicated in honor of the Superintendent of the Naval Academy who was instruraental in the development of the Brigade Activities Center/Alumni Hall, our own Adm. Chuck Larson. The suite of offices for the Musical Activities groups has Chuck Larson's name on it.

(You will all recall Chuck singing and dancing his way into our hearts in the weekly show, "Pass in Review"\). The landscaping which our contribution paid for is completed, and we will be having appropriate ceremonies to commemorate the '58 portion of the plaza during our 35th Reunion in October, 1993.

Two of our distinguished Classmates have attained further recognition of their capabilities. Retired RAdm. Ben Montoya (5th Co), who has been working as the vice president of the Sacramento Valley Region of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, was elected as a senior vice president by the utility's board of directors. Ben will be the general manager of the PG&E Gas Supply Business Unit, responsible for the purchase and management of the company's supplies of natural gas and the transportation of namral gas within PG&E's system. Sounds like the perfect job for an old baseball catcher known as El Gaseoso! As a resuh of the promotion, Ben and Ginny will likely be getting an apartment or condo in the San Francisco area, while still maintaining their home in Roseville, Calif.

Walters USMC (Ret.) 5664 Ravenel Lane, Springfield, Va. 22151 (703) 321-9586 The contingent of '58ers living in the Annapolis area has reached such a number that a local chapter of the Class of 1958 has been organized, and will be meeting on a regular basis at the Naval Academy Officers Club. The get togethers are going to altemate between luncheon meetings at noon on thefirstTiiesday of odd raonths (Jan, Mar, etc.) and dinner raeetings at 7pm on thefirstTiiesday of even months (Feb, Apr, etc.). Relying upon the approved rules of Mnemonic Development, this inforraation is broken down into the handy reminders LunOddFirsTues and DinEveFirsTues, which are further simplified under the Standard Acronym Plan to LOFT and DEFV. Those who participated in the initial DEFT included Julia and Jim Corder, April and Lee Holthaus, Kay and Myron Kandra, Priscilla and John Lorusso, Polly and Ken Mitchell, Mai and Keith O'Donnell, Jim Pierce, Vera and Joe Port, and Nancy and Tom Sinnott. These stalwarts represent one third of the Classmates who are within driving range of the Annapolis O'Club, and if they ever show up at LOFT or DEBT simultaneously, there will be 25 members of our Class in attendance who have chosen to settle near Mother Bancroft. If you need a contact point in Annapolis, try Jim Corder at (301) 267-7517.

On a sad note, the Class extends its sympathies to Dick Slyder (22nd Co) upon the loss of his wife, Carol. During the last week of August, it was discovered that Carol had a brain tiimor, and despite the efforts of the medical team at Bethesda, she succumbed to the effects on October 16th. Interment was at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Norfolk, Va. Dick

Blaze Gonzales, Vibeke Walters, Kathy Cunanan, and Mary and Tom Keifer.

Out in the far Pacific, retired RAdm. Carl Cunanan, PN (6th Co), the Military Advisory to the President of the Philippines, has been appointed as a vice president of the Philippine National Oil Company. Carl will be in charge of shipping and shipbuilding for the company, working out its Manila headquarters. So here we have these two golfing partners, Montoya and Cunanan, holding down opposite sides of the Pacific rim in the gas and oil industry.

Congratiilations to both of you on your continued success! Your accomplishments brighten the historical record of die Class of 1958 . . . by oil lamp and gas light.

While we are in the industrial area, a correction in the name of a company is offered. In the October column, mention was made of Rod Pbjsar (9th Co) and his presentation at the July luncheon of the Washington Chapter of the Class of 1958. In the process of getting through the alphabet soup, the initials of his company got confused with those of another defense Shipmate, December 1991

contractor This normally wouldn't be a problem, but Rod is burdened widi having to explain to some other USNA grads in his company why the name was changed. Herewith, notification that die company Rod Pejsar is proud to be associated with is the Information Technology and Applications Corporation (ITAC), which has no relationship with this other firm. Technology Applications Incorporated, . . . other than sharing a miniscule number of similar words in then names. Somehow, this is all related to the Standard Acronym Plan previously mentioned.

There just aren't enough letters in our alphabet to apply to all the agencies and companies in the D.C. area in discrete combinations without some overlap.

With the arrival of this December issue, we find ourselves at the tail end of the football season, with only the Army game to get through. Our Class of 1958 tailgates have all been winners, and have made for a most enjoyable Fall social season. We have had Classraates frora outside the D.C. area join us for several games, using die Blaze Gonzales Ticket Agency with success. Tom Buehl attended one game, having come in from Minnesota; Frank Caldwell came in for a game from Dallas, Texas; and Joan and J. D. Peters flew in for the Air Force game from Longmont, Colorado. Regular "out-of-towners" included the Keifers from Lansdale, Penna.; the Wiedemanns from Chadds Ford, Penna.; the Stiblers from Mt. Laurel, N.J.; the McKees from Wilmington, Del.; die Seebergers from Madison, Va.; the Millers from Purcellville, Va.; the Bob Caldwells from Walton, K y ; the Kennards frora Norfolk, Va.; and the Musgroves frora Salisbury, Md. To drive that far for an aftemoon of tailgating and football is a tribute to these Classmates and their ladies. It has to be the Class tailgate . . . the football has been a study in perseverance! Nonetheless, the Class thanks our Annapolis moming crew, Tom Sinnott, Joe Criner, Jim Corder, and other early arrivals for setting up the tailgate area and making the preparations for the rest of the group. Another season masterfully conducted by those guardians of our tailgate mrf! As diehard football fans are wont to say, "Next year, for sure!"

The enclosed photo shows some of the survivors of a '58 football weekend recovering the day after in Alexandria, Va. Cooling off at the City Hall Fountain are Blaze Gonzales, Vibeke Walters, Kathy Cunanan, and Mary and Tom Keifer.

'58 Triva; The third team we played in both 1954 and 1991, besides Army and Notre Dame, was William and Mary. Now think back to a time when your life was totally regulated and state the two regulations conceming the use of the shower in your Bancroft Hall room. Hasta Luego! WSW.

Deadline time again, and unfortunately just before Homecoming Weekend, so I can not pass on "lies 'n stories" from those events. That must wait til next edition. Sounds lUce a great postgame/Sattirday evening affair at the Alunmi House and 1 should be able to glean some "inside skinny" there. 1 sure can not count on the mail to fill up these columns. But 1 am appreciative of reports frora those Classmates such as faithful correspondent, Richard Trippe, who writes from the S.S. OVERSEAS ALICE, Alice Tankships Corp, 43 W 42nd St, N . Y , N.Y. 10036: Shipmate, December 1991

I arrived home on 27 March just in time to see my 1st report in a Shipmate, so thought I would provide quick update. I spent 130 days in the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, and Red Sea during Desert Shield/Storm aboard the S.S. OVERSEAS VALDEZ as

Master My crew and I conducted 26 CONSOL ops (like UNREPS). My shipreceivedtherigsfrom the Navy Fleet Oiler or the MSC tankers and we would pump the needed diesel and aviation fuels to them to keep them topped off. They ship would go into port to storage facilities or to the refineries to pick up a load of petroleum cargo. After receiving our cargo we would retum to our station and wait for our next customer The vessel transferred 65 to 70 million gallons of fuel to keep ships steaming and planes in the air. From mid-Sept 90 to 17 Jan 91,0. V. was the tanker that serviced the U.S. and foreign tankers in the PG. area. On January 17 we were replaced with 3 CONSOL tankers and order to take a load to Djibouti then into the Red Sea area to join 2 other commercial tankers providing services to the fleet.

I left Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, to retum home on 26 March. By then we had transferred over 100 million gals in support of the troops. VALDEZ remained on station for a few more weeks after I left. Meanwhile Bea and I visited Griff Hamilton and his wife in early April. Then I tried to catch up on Winter and Spring chores. I was "Mister Mom" for a few days while Bea was off to a Navy course. I was away June and July. Rode on U S O . float in D.C. victory parade 8 June. It was a very emotional experience beyond description. This time I did not have to hide die fact my ship had been carrying supplies to our troops in the Far East. Following week I spent at Navy Annex helping select fumre Commanders for Naval Reserve. Bea had short vacation from our daughters, Marjorie and Charlotte.

After Annex stint, Bea, Charlotte, and I went to West Columbia, S.C., to visit my family for a week.

Then retumed to DC. to report to MSC at Navy Yard for 2 wk ACDU for training. I saw Frank Donovan on several occasions. The two families spent the 4th of July together and had a great time. My main ACDU project was to make comments on the comms problems between merchant vessels. Navy ships and commands.

At a retirement party for one of Donovan's Captains, Frank informed me that I was the last Captain on active duty in both Regular and Reserve Navy from '59. My program does not have any star rank so I am as high as I can go, and do not have 30 years of service yet.

After my 2 wks, Bea started her 2 wks ACDU in DC. and Qiarlotte and I went sightseeing. Two days after retuming home, I had toflyout to Singapore to take command of the O.ALICE. Our last voyage for the military was to take jet fuel to Okinawa and Pohang (Korea). All of our military gear was removed in San Francisco. Now I am on a commercialranhauling gasoline between Texas and the New England area, with trips to Florida. Bea and Charlotte visited the ship in N.Y.C, and Marjorie made a surprise visit in Paulsboro, N.J. Marjorie is to be a Chemical Engineer; in her Junior year at College of Notre Dame, Baltimore, Md. Many of you will remember that campus. Bye for now...a "steamer"—DT. Thanks Dick for super report! Now to Larry Weaver from Tampa, Ha. Thanks for info re: Antarctica/refueling honchos/ PtXs at Pt. Hueneme. After good data from a CPO and portion of manual on fiieling requirements for C-130 aircraft, and some hectic preparation, I conducted a 2 day seminar for personnel of Antarctic Support Associates in Denver on the fuel system at the South Pole Station (which I have not yet seen) and instructions on aviation Wrbine fuel and how to fuel a C-130.1 was able to observe such C-130 ops at USCG Station St. Petersburg close by. Next step comes in January when I visit McMurdo Sound and the South Pole to review the fuel facilities in place and provide them with areporton the fuel activities.

Then prepare repeat fueling seminars for the next year's fuel operators for South Pole. I am looking forward to it—although weather may be a mite cold for a longtime Roridian—even tho tis middle of their summer and a "warm, balmy - 2 0 degrees."

Thank goodness there just long enough to inspect facilities!

(Secy note: I was lucky to visit in late '88 down there, and loved it! A fascinating place—and a dry cold that is not uncomfortable; you do dress for the occasion however But I hope Lany will have the courage to join the Southernmost Swim Club in the worid at the Vanda Research Station. 1 can give hira the gouge, but hopefully he won't wimp out like others who have had the oppormnity to visit Antarctica).

Maybe you could encourage our CinCPacHt man. Bob Kelly, to arrange a trip south while I am there. It should be in his AOR. Bob, want to arrange arendezvous?I currently am scheduled to arrive in Christ Church on 18 Jan; go to McMurdo on the 20th. How about a date via Shipmate column?

This is one of my more interesting jobs recentiy, altho I am now the U.S. Ops Rep for Transportes Aereos Ejecutivos, S.A. de C.V (TAESA) which is a Mexican airline operating scheduled and "scheduled charter" service to San Antonio and Houston; Newark, N Y C , and shortly Minneapolis—taking "snow birds" to Cancun, Mazatlan, VeraCraz, Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, etc. Thank goodness I picked up Spanish along the way (studied French at USNA). Also just finished re-designing and superintending a fiieling facility for emergency helo ops at Parkview Memorial Hosp in Ft. Wayne, IN; have one underway at U. of West Va., in Morgantown; a proposal out for one at U. of Florida, Gainesville, as well as a facility for a county airport in North Florida.

Our daughter Diana (ex-'88) married Scott Carlson '85 a couple of years ago—they are currently at PG school, Monterey. She graduated early this yr from Old Dominion with a BSME. Eric, 2nd son, graduated from U. of South Florida a yr. ago and also in engineering; working on projects including one in your old area, John, Guam. Eric fathered our first granddaughter and 2nd one due soon. Mark our youngest and Larry Jr our oldest, are both at home working and both trying tofinishdegrees—Mark in EE, Larry ME. (a real family of Engineers!)

Ely is District Coordinator for the U.S. Tennis Association in Tampa and is working more as a volunteer than most people do full-time. She only gets to play tennis once or twice a week—not enough to suit her! I contacted Dave Rogers at McDill just before my Antarctica seminar. As soon as he gets settled down and I get halfway caught up, we plan a lunch together In my work of TAESA, I called Dick Russell in Miamiregardingsome instruction on operational tmg for St. Thomas. He hasfinallygiven up on Braniff (I, II, and III) and is waiting for Sally to retire. His son has taken over the boat business, altho Dick was on his way to the Annapolis Boat Show when we talked, so he is not completely out of it.

Thanks for Itr, Larry (and as you said, not another 16 yr. wait for next epistle!).

Bill Clautice is a member of a most interesting group, the Inter-Agency Seminar Group, that meets monthly and entertains a topnotch speaker 1 was lucky to be invited to one recentiy, and heard my boss, Dr Louis Sullivan of the Dept of H & HS. He is a great guy, a fine speaker, and a man with tremendous responsiblity Bill and I both enjoyed his insights and perspectives on the Health Care of this country.

Small world—one of the Staff in my office—good friends of Norm Bednarek's wife Linda. I told my guy, Steve Guback, our super Public Inforraation Director, that Norm was affectionately known as "Mr. Tomahawk." But now with the World Series in full swing, and the controversy about the "Chop," etc.

Norm may want us to forget that monicker We do not want him to get scalped!

From our John A. Paine, Jr: I request that you advertise an attempt to rejuvenate the Washington Area Class Roster An initial update has been circulated at recent luncheons and football games with some good results. Unfortunately input indicates we have missed several people. Therefore I request folks provide an update or make a data check with me. The roster is being expanded to keep business addresses and FAX numbers for those who care to include this info. This is in addition to the standard name, home address (with 9 number ZIP if available), home phone, spouse's 103

first name as appropriate, name of business/work association (plus telephone/FAX). Calls are welcome at 703-360-6055 but sending a business card with home/personal info on the back would be best.

Our man Toby Warson gets star billing once again. He was featured in Forbes, the 14 Oct 1991 issue p. 66-1- in a story entitled "Sink or Swim." Toby was never trained to sink, and that is certainly not his nature! Toby is President and CEO of Alliant Techsystems, based in Edina, Minn. It spun off from Honeywell, Inc. a year-I- ago, and is now the largest munitions supplier to the U.S. military. Despite easing of tensions in some ways, in some quarters, Toby declares "The world right now is not a pacific place to hve." He knows that his business has a role to play. It was a lengthy, excellent article but 1 will leave you with the final paragraph and some of Toby's wellchosen words. Why does he have such high hopes for a company that, after all, was unwanted by its parent?

"Dealing with govemraents is an art. Dealing with the cornraercial world is a different art. This raanagement group understands how to deal with the govemment. If we tried to compete with "Toys 'R Us" we would not do well. It is a case of doing what you do well and doing it better than your competition." From all indicators, Toby and Alliant under his leadership, are doing very well.

I wiU close with an excerpt from good letter frora John Kanuch, and say more next edition plus mention of John Vaughan (and story on him from the American Airlines paper): Thanks for getting the word to me about "Fritz" —a great loss of a super guy! I regret I had to miss the Memorial! Recently retumed from an Alaska vacation thru Seattie; spent few days there. Had enjoyable dinner with Angus McDonald and Pat Schnauffer (and spouses), recently retumed from the UK. I have been radely awakened to the fact that retirement is around the comer and I had better start planning. After 26 yrs with American Airlines, I took my first stab at intemational flying. I am now based in San Francisco, living in SoCal (Vista) and commuting to San Jose toflythe MD-11 to Tokyo. I have only had a few trips and am not up to speed to decide if I want to do this for the rest of my career.

Long haul flights can make an old man out of you fast! (for John, I doubt it—he has always been too tough, too resilient). Barb and I are avid tennis players, recreational level, and that keeps me in reasonably good condition. Had recent visit from Waverly and Jack ShirrefTs; they were out West doing some pre-early-retirement scouting. Delores and Rich Dagampat met us for dinner. Don't know where last year (or so) has flown by so fast. More later!

Thanks, John, and keep em flyin'—would love to catch a Tokyo trip with you—and it will be a piece of cake for you by the time I manage to get out that way Do hope to see you at 454 Hutchison St. in Vista, Calif. 92084 well before then. Rise 'n Shine!

and, correct me if I'm wrong, FOR THE lOTH STRAIGHT YEAR WE'VE LOST to USAFA!! The best thing was the usual pageantry and the flyby of two F-14's from VF-84 just before the game started.

The first quarter looked like an upset in the making, but it went downhill from there on. Afterward in the paper. Coach Chaump said that we surprised them with our formations early, but they adjusted in the second half and we didn't. Who's the we? I noticed that the Mids and the fans adjusted from being raving lunatics to being just plain bored. What was wrong with oiu throwing a few Naval maneuvers back at them? I see the roster shows guys 6'6", 284 lb. Don't we live under the same rules with the same talent pool? Could be time for a draft Frank Gansz '62 committee?

The tailgate and associated conversations were great as usual. Yours truly acted as roving correspondent and picked up some "what are you doing" updates and photos of the action in the Class area.

Photos (the good ones) are provided and the updates follow in the Classmate news section. Prissy and Wick Parcells (lOdi) came up from NORVA with some of the best fresh roasted peanuts I've ever eaten. Poor Wick, he's got a job still flying airplanes as TacWingsLant. At his age, too.

Classmate News:

Tom Head and Phil Rognlien photos you did but also for making the extra effort to send them to us to use. Also some Air Force-Navy tailgate pics from you know who.

Gene Gardner (16th) and wife, Phyllis, live at 13020 Stiirbridge Rd., Woodbridge, Va. 22192.

Harry, his son, a new Plebe this year as we mentioned in an earlier column is the only one with a Purple Heart. He eamed that in Desert Storm being More 30th Reunion photos

Ron Koontz (21st) has recently joined up with GE's Advanced Technology Lab where he is Program Manager of Submarine Operational Automation System (SOAS). His new address is 22 Shawnee Court, Medford, N.J. 08055. Received news update from company mate, Tom Head (14th): Had a great visit with Phil Rognlien (Uth) this Summer while Legare and I were vacationing out West. Enclosed photo shows Phil on the right and me on the left on the deck of Phil's home overlooking the golf course at Big Fork, Montana.

We did the "all aboard AMTRACK" routine this Summer enroute to a spectacular week-long trek through Canada's Banff and Jasper National Parks.

Boarding the "Cardinal" in Alexandria, Va., and shifting to the double-decker "Empire Builder" in Chicago, we got a long and pleasant look at this great country by the time we reached our intermediate destination of Whitefish, Mont. From there it was 1500 miles of show-stopping scenery offered by the National Parks of Alberta and British Columbia as viewed from a rental care. The icing on the cake was provided on the last day by Mary Margaret and Phil Rognlien who gave up a day to show us some of the gorgeous big sky country of Montana with a tour of Kalispell, Big Fork, and Flathead Lake. lUms out that one day is not enoughtimefor two old roommates to reminisce on days "together by the bay," but it was great fun trying! Thanks Phil and Mary Margaret! The retum trip, also by train, was characterized by a growing awareness of increasing population density, a quickening pace and the approaching cloud of retuming responsibilities. Ah, well! It was great fun while it lasted!!!

Thanks, Tom, for letting us know what's up with you, and to know that Phil really does live in such a place. Never did believe there was a place called Kalispell (?) when we were at Bancroft, much less these last ten years or so that Phil's been telling us he's been flying out of Berlin, but lives there. OK, Phil, if you say so. 1 guess it's true after all! For those of you who don't know, Tom elected the Math and Science school teacher program after retiring. Now, in about his third full-time year, it seems to be going very well.

Hey, Dick, maybe it would be great fun to have the Washington-Baltimore-Annapolis contingent to the Mid-Year Reunion next year (June 4 - 7 , 1992 in Minneapolis/St. Paul area) to take AMTRACK up and back?? Party up, party there, party back!! No need for a designated driver. Call (703) 548-8414 for more info and get your reservations in early. This is getting better every day!

Pres., Mr. Warren Hoppe Corr. Sec'y, Capt. Roger Onorati USN (Ret.) 2907 Spring Lake Dr., DavidsonvUle, Md. 21035 (410) 956-6663 (H); (301) 261-4349 (W) Well boys and girls, as the jolly fat man dressed in Service Dress Reds starts greasing the runners on the 8-reindeer power, USS SLEIGH (SL-61) to prepare for his annual circumnavigation of the world, its time for another exciting and gut-wrenching end-of-the-year edition of the critically acclaimed WGNAC Class Column. In case you didn't know (and much to just about everyone's surprise), SiskeU and Ebert have recently given THIS COLUMN national recognition by awarding it their coveted, and rarely publicized, "two-middle-fingers-up" quaUty rating. As a result of die tidal wave of publicity that followed, I have been negotiating with several of the major film studios (including the one which in the past produced such exciting Navy training films as "115 Volts, The Deadly Enemy" and "Circe") for the screenplay rights to many of the stories contained in past colunms conceming some of our more colorful characters such as Hank "Teddy Bear" Hahn, Neil "Chip-off-theold" Block, Raese "Suitcase" Simpson, Ben "The Godfather" SotUle, and Bob "The Bear" Sheridan. According to a reputable industry insider, these studios are facing the harsh reality that with a recession in progress, only movies starring key presidential muscle-and-fitoess advisor Amold What'shis-narae, or those involving Italian gangsters, are attracting any custoraers to the box office. So they must figure that guys with nicknames like those above must have mob connections and, therefore, might be proper subjects for what may tum out to be the REALLY BIG box office smash of 1992. For a "small" stipend, I've agreed to provide them information on any and all qualified Classmates (with and without nicknaraes) who don't provide me with inputs for this column (subject, of course, to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act). So, it would serve all of you well, to take heed of my heretofore harmless, but now no-longer-to-be-dismissedor-ignored-without-attention plea to "keep the cards and letters coming."

With that invective out of the way, let's get on to this month's nooze.

MAIL CALL. In early October, I got a very welcomed call from Mike Welsh who had finally come ashore after an eleven month sabbatical spent on his sailboat following his retirement last Spring. Since their retum, Mike and Marguerite have been bunking in with Denny Sullivan at his pad waiting for their renters to vacate their home in Aimapolis, so seeing he had nothing better to do, I tasked this newly deputized club reporter with an assignment to provide a written report of his voyage for this column. With a cheery "Aye, Aye, Sir!," and in time to meet myfilingdeadline I might add, Mike graciously produced the following award winning report: After retirement in Memorial Hall on 28 September 1990 with Ike Cole officiating. Marguerite and I moved aboard our Shannan 38 sailboat ITHICA (named after the Greek Island that was the home of Ulysses.)

In mid-October we sailed down the Chesapeake Bay, spent a few days in Norfolk, and then left on the first leg of our adventure. Armed with sextant only, six days later we arrived in the harbor of St. George, Bermuda. After three very expensive weeks in Bermuda, we departed for Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico. Once again we got lucky and after seven days at sea (including a 50 knot plus storm for 36 hours) we found ourselves in the small boat marina at Roosie Roads. Our two sons, Pete and Dan, arrived a few days later and we spent the Christmas holidays together in the British Virgin 105

Islands.

After the kids retumed home we headed South.

Once in the Virgins, the navigation becomes somewhat simpler. For most passages you can see your island destination before you leaveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;my kind of sailing. Needless to say, the weather, the trade winds, the clear water and miles of deserted beaches combine to make this part of the world a true paradise. We sailed to and visited St. Martin, St. Barts, Nevis, Montserrat, Antigua, Guadelupe, Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, andfinallyVenezuela.

After two months in Venezuela, including a ten day trip inland to visit Caracas, the Andes and Maracaibo (Marguerites birthplace), we departed for a straight shot back to the U.S. Virgins. After four days at sea we arrived in St. Johns, USVI, then to Puerto Rico for supplies. We left Roosie Roads on 15 July and, after enjoying ten days of glorious sailing, arrived in Beaufort, N.C. We took it easy for a few days and then craised up the intercoastal waterway to Norfolk and then back up the bay to Annapolis, arriving back home just in time for Labor Day weekend.

My advice to anyone thinking of doing something like this is, DO IT! I would still be there ifit weren't for the creditors, one son still in college, etc. We still have the boat and are already planning the next adventure, perhaps to the Mediterranean.

Roger, I know you're not interested in this, but some of our Classmates may want to know. The average price of Mount Gay Rum in the islands is about $3.50 a liter. Since the Rum Punch mix costs twice that, I had to double my daily rum ration!

Also, on all the islands, and especially the French islands, most of the women forget to put on their bathing suit tops. Sometimes they even forget the bottom! My eyes are still hurting.

In a more serious vein, we'd be happy to share our experiences with any Classmate contemplating such a trip. Drop me a note at 303 Riverview Trail, Annapolis, Md. 21401 or call me at (410) 849-5305.

Thanks Mike for the lucid account of your extended Happy Hour and voyeuristic voyage, and welcome back to the land of the working folk. For everyone's inforraation, Mike has already found suitable local employraent, beginning work for ARINC, Inc. in Annapolis on 14 October Frora Paul Lang: Debbie and I are thoroughly enjoying the "empty nest" experience. Debbie is teaching first grade in the Baltimore County school system and is in the final phase of her work toward the degree of Master of Early Childhood Education from Towson State University. Our eldest son Robert, age 26, is an anchorman [C.S. note: at least there's some Navy connection in this line of work] and reporter at radio station WHP in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. David, age 21, is in his senior year at Johns Hopkins University.

He is majoring in Chemistry and is in the process of applying to medical school. I continue to practice law, specializing in civil litigation and in labor and employment law. I also teach a Business Law course from time to time at a local community college.

No excuses for not attending more Class functions in Annapolis. I saw Neil Block several months ago as he swung through Baltimore on a combination business-pleasure trip. Sorry I couldn't make the local apparent 30th. I hope to become more involved in Class affairs in the near future.

Dave Middleton remains in the Bremerton, Wash, area foUowing retirement, and is living at 4825 NW Francis Dr., Silverdale, Wash. 98383. He has two children through college and away from home, and two grandchildren. Dave writes that he has no employment contemplated in retirement, rather he plans to travel in his 33 foot motor horae during the winters, and enjoy Puget Sound during the summers. I suggest Dave might want to get in touch with Bob Sheridan, who is also "retired-retired" in San Diego, and see about working up a competition among Classraates of similar persuasions to determine who can log the most miles-per-year on their respective motor homes, boats, private airplanes, golf carts, trail bikes, hang gliders, skateboards, roller blades, riding lawnmowers, etc. and file their reports to me

106

which will then be included as a special feature to this column titled, "Voyages to Nowhere." Who knows; the movie studios might even be interested? We could form a Class production company to document these epic exercises-in-doing-nothing, and sell them back to the Navy as training flicks to entice ftiture generations of midshipmen and junior officers into staying in the Navy for 30 years.

Dave Dean surface in Sangerville, Maine and provides the following update: My last seven years in the Navy (79-86) were spent in Germany; four years in Policy Division of J-5 Plans and Policy Directorate, HQ USEuCom, last three years at Fuhrangsakademic der Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces Staff College) in Hamburg as instructor and Navy Liaison Officerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a tough demanding job, but somebody had to do it. I retired 1 September 1986 and came to central Maine without havingfirmsecond career plans. Almost by accident. I fell into teaching, beginning as a parttime substitute. I found that I liked being in the classroom, so went back to the University to earn teaching credentials. I was fortunate enough to be hired as Social Studies teacher and Soccer Coach (I heard that laugh) at atiny(120 student) high school on the Upper Kennebec. I took my present job teaching World History and German a year ago and find it most exciting and gratifying. We live in a big old house on the edge of the village and welcome visitors.

SEEN AND HEARD AROUND TOWN. On 4 Oc tober, 1 was honored to attend a black tie dinner celebrating the formal dedication of Alumni Hall, the new fully air conditioned, multi-purpose facility located on the Naval Academy Yard across from Worden Field, which by the way, still isn't air conditioned. Also representing the WGNAC were Kim and Virg Hill who were up from Norfolk, our first lady and prez. Donna and Warren Hoppe, and Gloria and Jerry Kennedy who came down from Pennsylvania.

A few photos of the attendees are attached so you can see how classy your Classmates look when they're not wearing white works. Our chief fund raiser. Bob Hofford was also invited to attend, but couldn't make it, and our honorary Classmate, Bob Shapiro with his terrific wife Sally, rounded out our representation. I must say, it raade me very proud to see our Class listed in the program as one of the major donors that made Alumni Hall possible, just as it makes me proud to see our paintings commanding everyone's attention as people pass through the main entrance to Alumni Hall. Those of you who attended the presentation ceremony of our Class project during the 30th reunion in September, 1990, got but a small glimpse of what this magnificent, state-of-the-art facility was like. Now that the building is completed and fully functional, you should make it a point to attend one of the raany future lectures, plays, concerts, cereraonies, receptions, or basketball games to see how your generosity has been put to use to ensure a continued program of excellence at the Naval Academy. I guarantee you'll be impressed.

Since our 29th or 30th reunion, or whatever we called that grand event we held in Crabtown during the last weekend of September in 1990, we've raanaged to lose track of a few more Classmates, so I'm publishing the latest information on those missing characters in the hope that those of you out there in readerland might help us locate them, so we can dun thera for overdue contributions to the Class Executive Coraraittee Retirement Fund. Listed in reverse alphabetical order by ascending order of USNA company, they are: Dave Wright (3), Herb Wade (13), Tom Tiicker (5), Marv Tower (20), Alan Stewart (6), John Smith (8), Dan Rush (13), Dick Royston (5), Doug McDaniel (19), Lowell Martin (2), Gene Livingston (18), John Guthrie (6), Fran Furtaw (13), Bill Fits (11), Ed Ettinger (20), Gene Dvomick (21), Wade Driver (18), Al Donn (9), Tony Copes (19), Neil Cams (5), Ed Carlson (4), Carl Bledsoe (4), and Paul Ardleigh (23). A suitable reward will be provided to

Shipmate, December 1991

anyone having relevant, accurate information conceming die whereabouts of any of these 23 mostwanted-men-in-America. [PS. There IS tmth to the mmor that Hank Hahn is lost, however, we know exactly where he lives, and even have his telephone number This paradox can easily be explained as being strictly a matter of semantics.]

It has been nice to see a few new faces (with bodies attached, of course) at many of the tailgate parties diis Fall before and after the Navy football garaes.

Henry Booth was in town in early October to participate in the Alumni basketball games that christened the new court in Alumni Hall. Jim Laster and his family were up from NorfoUc for the Air Force debacle in October, as was Ned Kuhns. Jim is looking as chipper as ever, albeit a little gray on the roof, and is still quite active on the tennis circuit. Ned was looking like civilian life has been treating him extremely well. Mugs McKeown was also back from the West coast for the Air Force game. Joe Berkley was in for the Bowling Green game from San Diego, along with George Worthington, who brought his sky-diving SEALS, or whatever he calls them, who thrilled the crowd by bringing the game ball to the 50 yard line via air express prior to kickoff and presenting it to the referee. 1 guess they decided to use this unconventional method of transportation because of the traffic problems around Annapolis. As a sidelight, it was great to see someone dressed in a Navy uniform cross midfield with a football.

Word has it that Paul Moses is back from his tour of duty in Europe and has been sighted lurking somewhere around the Norfolk area in the vicinity of the CinCLantHt staff offices. Will anyone withfirsthand knowledge on the efficacy of this rumor please immediately inform Paul of his obligation to contact this Corresponding Secretary immediately with, a) a complete after-action report on his tour in Europe, where it is my understanding that his primary duties involved making advanced arrangements for the Navy's participation in the Oktoberfest celebrations each Fall, and b) his reason for not filing an arrival report widi me within 4 hours of his expected retum to die mainland. Failure to do so will result in a Form 2.

Nothing heard from Larry Lubbs on the results of the First Annual L. L. Lubbs Invitational Golf Tournament dutifully reported by this C.S. in the October '91 column. Could it be that the hefty entry fee, coupled with the mandatory generous donation to the L-cubed Retirement Fund, limited the participant count to only one? Let's hear from you Larry!

The October Washington area Class luncheon was a rousing success. Held on my birthday, it was replete with an off key rendition of the traditional anthem and a small wedge of a sinfully fattening triple chocolate cake, with obligatory candle. The Classmate who spilled the beans, so to speak, has been put on notice to expect full retaliation in a manner that will make his devious and underhanded prank seem like the work of an amateur, for it is with little magnaminity that I greet the accelerating passing of the years as 1 begin my trek toward the onset of middle age. There to celebrate this propicious event were Bod Glover, Dick Michaux, Marc Bruno, Rich DeRose, Warren Hoppe, Bob McLaughlin, Ron Campbell, George Dewhirst, Ed Decker, Hal Morrison, Emie Moreno, Neil Holben, Tom Murray, Dan Schroeder, Rod Bubeck, Ed Straw, Jack Stevens, Jesse Stewart, Tim Dugan, Denny Sullivan, Joe Kasales, Cliff Dunning, Don Evans, Jim George, Brent Jacobs, Mike Bickel, Jim Luper, Jack Sheahan, Jim Ibach, Bob Wasserman, Arlie Campbell, John Momm, Mike McMillan, Ron Cariberg, and visiting from Pennsylvania, Art Rowe. Notable by his absence was Don Chinn, who 1 guess still hasn't gotten the word that we're no longer meeting at the place that serves the Greek Salad concoction of which he was so fond.

CLASS HISTORIAN PROJECT.

Shipmate, December 1991

Mike McMillan ordering a foot-long hotdog from Arlie Campbell

we're hoping to attract Classmates frora up and down the east coast from Philadelphia to Charleston, especially those in the Norfolk area. Jon has blocked off 100 rooms at the Fort Magruder Inn & Conference Center for these two nights. Rates are $68 per night for single or double occupancy. [C.S. note: Anyone electing to room with Hank Hahn does so at his or her own risk.] Those interested in participating should make reservations directiy with the Fort Magruder Inn. Call (800) 331-5204 from outside Virginia, or (804) 220-2250 from Virginia, being sure to identify yourself as a member of the Classic Class of "61. We plan to have some kind of nohost cocktail party followed by dinner on one of the nights, and plenty of time to do your own thing for the rest of the weekend. More to come on this later, but get your reservations in as soon as possible while there's still space available at these rates.

PARTING SHOTS. I hope this Christmas finds all of you happy, healthy and thankful that, unlike the situation a year ago, our nation is at peace with the world. Judy joins me in wishing you all a happy and holy holiday season, and a successful and prosperous year in 1992, thefirstyear of this decade, by the way, in which our Class will not have a 30th reunion.

GET IT DONE, WITH '61

62 Bill Hartman, Neil Block, and Dave Stem tailgating Here's a report on a new project being undertaken by the Executive Committee. The purpose of the project will be to accumulate a variety of Class of '61 memorabilia that will be useful in forming a record of the experiences and activities of our Classmates since our induction on 1 July 1957. The collectibles will be assembled periodically for display at major homecoraings or other significant Class events. Initially, it is most likely that the iteras received will be of more sentiraental than raonetary value, but this could change as the years pass on. Accordingly, we will be discussing such issues as the need for insurance, inventory procedures, security of storage, storage location, etc. Bill Hartman, who is also running our Network '61 operation, has graciously volunteered to be the point raan in getting this project off the ground. If anyone else is interested in helping Bill with this project, or even taking over command of it, please let me know and I'll be happy to fill in the details. Any and all suggestions or comments are also welcome.

On Satiirday 26 October 1991 the Class held its annual Homecoraing party at the USNA Officers Club.

Over 125 Classraates and faraily raembers attended.

Of course this was only another rehearsal for next year's gala eventâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Homecoming '92 our 30th Reunion.

Informationflyersfor this weekend affair are forthcoming. We will publish all the details and pertinent facts about this four-day party as time gets closer Mark your calendars for September 24-27 1992â&#x20AC;&#x201D;a weekend you'll never forget.

Now for the Class news.

Around the Fleet Frora South Carolina Classmate Robin White writes the following letter: After almost five years in Charleston, S.C. as Conunander, Submarine Squadron 18 and Chief of Staff, Naval Base, Charleston, I retired on 31 October 1990. The date was coincident with Janie's and my 26th wedding anniversary. I was fortunate enough to have two Classmates as sideboys, Mike Nash and Frank Mallen. Frank was one of my Plebe year roommates. The ceremony was the first held in the courtyard of the Base Headquarters since the passage of Hurrican Hugo some thirteen months previously.

With the Navy willing to move me anywhere in the world, I only moved 100 miles up the road to Columbia, S.C. and assumed the duties of Nuclear Coordinator for Santee Cooper Santee Cooper is also known as the South Carolina Public Service Authority, a state owned public utility. Santee Cooper and South Carolina Electric and Gas Co. (SCE&G) are joint owners of the V. C. Summer Nuclear Station which SCE&G operates. I oversee Santee Cooper's interest in all facets of the operation of the station. The utility industry is fascinating and the nuclear part of it is continually undergoing change. The plant is quite different from a submarine, yet the system operation has many similarities.

Events in the next few years will set the stage for the hiture of nuclear power in this country.

In April. Janie and I went to Tallahassee, Fla. to watch our daughter, Regan graduate from Florida State with a BA in English. She is now gainfully employed in the Ft. Lauderdale area and is no longer 107

on our payroll.

Janie and I are undergoing the adjustment to civilian life. Wefindit strange not to live near the ocean or in a place where there is a Naval presence. We are making friends through getting involved in community events and keep busy trying tofigureout where to buy a house (renting now) as we may be here for some period of time. If I retired again, I would take some time off to get settled rather than go directly from one job to the other.

Anyone coming through Columbia is welcome to stop in. We are presenUy located close to the intersection of 1-20 and 1-26 which makes it convenient to approach or depart in any cardinal direction.

I know this letter comes as a shock, but one is never too old to change.

Traditon Congratulations are in order to Amanda Chasteen '95, daughter of Cdr. Robert Chasteen USN (Ret.) and Eric Duckworth USMA '95, son of LCol. Ken Duckworth USAFR (Ret).

The Class of 1962 is proud of Amanda and Eric and of their fathers—our Classraates—Bob and Ken—and their families for carrying on the tradition.

Class Elections The Class of 1962 will elect officers for all four offices during the Summer of 1992. The newly elected will serve for five years.

A nominating and election committee is being appointed and formed and will send out requests for nominations from. As raany Classmates as wish to run for any office—sometime in early Spring. Ballots will be mailed in the Summer and the newly elected officials will be installed at our Class meeting of the 30th Reunion Horaecoming Weekend.

That's our news for the December 1991 Shipmate.

The Class wishes each of you a healthy and peaceful holiday season and a happy 1992.

1963), who were also at the tailgate. Other out-oftowners at recent games have included Fred Kaiser from Illinois, Larry Warnken from Hawaii, and Scotty Wilson from New York. Regular attendees Gene and Dave Robinson will be moving to Hawaii in December when Dave becomes Deputy CinCPacHt. In late September, Bob Lyons became Executive Director of the Builders and Contractors Exchange in Norfolk. The exchange has about 850 members and serves as a clearinghouse for Hampton Roads area construction projects being put out for bids. Bob and his staff will also monitor and lobby on legislation affecting the construction industry. After retiring from the Navy, Bob had worked as an engineer and manager for a Virginia Beach architectural, engineering, and management consulting firm. (Thanks, Jim Metcalfe, for passing this news to us.)

Responding to my call for information about our "missing" Classmates, Josh Fields has sent this report to us: I read with interest the September issue of Shipmale and saw that my whereabouts (13th Company) were not known. I currentiy have my own law firm in the Lansing, Michigan, area. Our practice emphasizes oil and gas law, as well as energy related matters, real estate, and environmental issues.

Three hands on the helm

Pres., LCol. Joel R. Gardner USMC (Ret.) Sec'y, Michael H. Shelley 9915 Natick Rd., Burke, Va. 22015 We were spoiled by athletic success, perhaps, during our years as midshipmen. Stunning successes in lacrosse, crew, and other sports kept us on top of the world. We were, as they say, on a roll. Nowhere was that more the case than in heavyweight football: four wins over Army, national rankings, major bowl games, and two Heismann Trophy winners. And what an exciting spirit throughout the Brigade! Most other sports have held their own in the years since then, but Navy football has felt the impact of rule changes and the advent of big-time, commercialized, NFL-oriented collegiate programs. Navy teams certainly play as hard as they ever did, but they do so on an uneven playing field on most Saturdays. As of this writing in mid-October, Navy remains winless, but not for lack of effort and heart.

Game days at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium remain exciting, though, and well worth the trip for members of the Class of '63. Our tailgate parties before and after the games and at halftime have become an ongoing extravaganza. There has been a very good crowd on hand for each game, with new faces appearing each time. The latest newcomers were Carol and Charlie Minter, who have just begun a year stateside after several years of missionary work in the back country of Papua, New Guinea.

They look terrific and are very happy in their vocation. Charlie promised to give me sorae pictures for an upcoming issue of Shipmate. It was great to see Charlie's parents (Honorary raembers of the Class of

Since retirement, I have worked for a small company, Los Alamos Technical Associates, whose recent claim to fame is the singing of a letter of intent with the Republic of Ukraine to clean up after the Chemobyl nuclear power plant accident. Please note in the photo that Chuck has both hands on the helm; after twenty years as a surface warfare officer, I had to keep reminding him—Two hands for beginners!

My hand is also on the helm, to help steer faster and to ensure lobster-pot avoidance. The other photo is of my wife, Joanne, and me which I submit to add some beauty to the column and to demonstrate that I had more confidence in her than I did in Chuck.

George's business address is Los Alamos Technical Associates, 8550 Arlington Boulevard, Suite 301, Fairfax, Virginia 22031; his phone is (703) 698-0523.

I had a brief conversation recently with Dan Trigg, who was passing through Dulles airport on his way back to Peru and Chile for a few more months of searching for marketable artwork and craft pieces.

He intends to do sorae more mountaineering in the Andes as the climate improves in the southem latitudes. Now THAT'S the way to live in retirement!

Dan keeps promising to send a letter with photos from sorae of his travels and I keep hoping he will.

This issue's shorter-than-usual report is a direct reflection of the amount of our Classmates' contributions in recent weeks. Thanks again to Messrs Fields, Nolan, and Metcalfe for their reports; without them all you'd have here would be my ramblings. What will our future columns consist of? It's up to you.

I'm always taken by surprise when December rolls in. It just can't be this time of year again so soon.

This has been a very good year, in many ways a great year, for most of us. We have so very much to be thankful for Have a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year 1992! (And don't forget to write to me when you're taking some time away from work this month.) *** BEAT ARMY! *** QUALITY—'63

I practiced with Shell for a significant period oftime,firstin Los Angeles and then in Houston. We moved to Michigan in 1985 and I have been practicing here ever since.

It's the Fall of the year again . . . you can tell by the beautiful leaves, the smells from the season's first fires, and the "THUD" of Navy thrown footballs faUing soundly into the hands of opposing players (or on the ground)! We keep winning the air shows and losing the games. The heck with die air show, let the other guys win those and we win the games.

Another season and another loss to the Air Farce . . . I hate those darn zoomies. I would almost rather lose to Army than to the residents from the Colorado version of Disney World. Everyone has to have an affinity for those poor blokes in the trenches so an occasional loss (just to give them soraething to live for) seems almost tolerable. Zoomies, on the other hand, are almost useless. If the Pentagon has to cut its budget way back, 1 vote we get rid of them altogether or tiim them over to the Civil Air Patrol. Beat Air Force!! Beat Army!! Beat the Giants, Cowboys, Oilers, and Eagles!! That last one was for the Redskins.

There was lots of mail this month thanks mostly to the survey sent to the Class for our project. Bill Shipmate, December 1991

Sargent was kind enough to fax the letters to me as he received them with the surveys. The first letter received via this method was from Steve Laabs and its contents are absolutely heartbreaking. Steve's family recently lost their daughter and sibling Jenny To our '64 Classmates, Marty and I would like totiiankthe '64 family for their support in helping us through the loss of our Jenny. We received notes and prayers from all over the world. We would especially like to tiiank Ann and Grant Fulkerson and Sue and Jerry Dunne who took care of just about everything, plus Jack Costello, Tom Lynch, Hal Sisson and Jim Tolbert who were Pallbearers. You and your families can't know how much Marty, Steve Jr, Julie, and I appreciate all of your love and support. Steve, Marty, Steve Jr., and Julie Steve, our hearts, hopes, and prayers go out to you and your fanuly. Words are so inadequate if we could lessen your loss by somehow taking part of it, you would have 890 volunteers.

Our next letter is from Doug Fuge who has just moved to Gainesville, Ga.: I thought I'd get my vote in the mailrightaway— before Ifileit for future action. Retired hfe has been quite busy so far. We moved Sally's mother from Florida to a care home nearby us. I've started teaching (my first Algebra I quiz on the reverse) and am really enjoying it. The kids can't believe I really enjoy physics and calculus.

Bracken had a great trip to New Zealand and Australia and has started school at North Hall High School. Sally's two horses arrived as planned and we've been riding several times. Sally has taken up target shooting and is competing in matches with her cousin, Roy. I bought a .22 to shoot around our place, but have no desire to compete. We just got back from spending the weekend with Michelle in Boone, N.C. Wedding preps were the order of business. I'll put something cogent together one of these first free days. Until then, spread the word that we're happy and busy in North Georgia to all the gang at the tail gate parties. Thanks, Doug.

Thank you Doug for the update and best of luck to you as you warp all those young minds. Hang in there with calculus and physics. . . . maybe next year they will let you teach a real course.

Bemie Maguire was kind enough to fax the following letter from Sarah Ann Griffis, daughter of Bill Griflis and one of our Memorial Scholarship recipients: Dear Mr. Maguire: I really enjoyed our conversation this aftemoon. It was interesting to leam how the scholarship came about. I for one am very grateftil for the scholarship and I need it. I have needed it right along. I have had some major hurdles in getting my education. I've done a lot of personal work on myself with the help of others and continue to do so. Thank you very much for the contribution you have made to my life and education. I hope to finish my BA. in psychology by December of 1992. Sincerely, Sarah Ann Griffis.

Thanks Bemie for sending Sarah's letter and for all the hard work you do for the Meraorial Scholarship Fund.

We received the following letter from Kennth E. Milano '92, the 10th Co. Wardroom President via Bill Sargent's Hotline: Dear Class of '64: The 10th Company would like to thank you for your generous donations to the Wardroom Fund. Your $200 dollar contribution helped to buy, among other things, a new microwave and several new ice trays which are widely used and greatly appreciated by the members of the company.

We would also like to extend to the members of the Class of '64 an invitation to all 10th Company Tailgaters held after each home football game. The tailgater is located in the parking lot to the West (Midshipmen's side) of the stadium, approximately 200 yards from tiie 50-yard line. You are especially welcome to attend the large tailgater scheduled for after the Homecoming Game against Delaware on Saturday, October 26. Family members are also welcome. Thanks again for your faithful and generous support of lOth Company If you have any questions conceming our wardroom or company, please feel Shipmate, December 1991

ftw to call (410) 267-5294 or write to 1/C Kenneth E. Milano. Very Respectfully, Kenneth E. Milano, lOth Co. Wardroom President.

And last, but certainly not least, we received a nice letter from Carolyn and Joe Rudy—Thanks to Carolyn: As an avid reader of Shipmate—and especially the '64 news, I'm writing in lieu of Joe. He never seens to sit long enough to take pen in hand.

Having spent the past 11 years of our lives overseas, we retumed to the Wash., DC. area in late March '91. Joe "defected" to the Army Corps of Engineers to work on the Peace Hawk-Peace Sun program in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in Oct. '80. We spent five wonderful years of compound living with our daughters, Gretchen, now 24, and Melanie, 20. It was a rich experience for all of us. Gretchen spent her high school years in Lugano, Switzerland, and as a result became an Italian teacher. Melanie, currently a member of the Class of '93, enjoyed her free time on a swim team and playing soccer under the direction of a wonderful Egyptian coach.

John Garber, Melanie Rudy 93. Joe Rudy, and Tom Murray (dad of Bill Murray '93).

Joe was selected for a position with the Corps of Engineers in Frankfiirt, Germany in 1985. We enjoyed the travel benefits of Europe; however, the numerous varieties of beer would probably top Joe's list of the wonders of Germany. "The four of us managed to cover the area fairly well in our 6 years there. Joe spent his last year working as Chief of Facilities for DoDDs school-perhaps the best job of his career However, when a promotion came through with the Dept. of State, we decided it was time to retum stateside and provide a support system for our family. Melanie's sponsor, Cdr. Cocolin '71, and his family, who lived in the Yard, were being reassigned, and in their absence, she needed a source for ice cream cranch bars and a place to store her Benetton clothes.

So here we are, back in the rat race of the Beltway. Joe and I commute together—he works for State in Rosslyn-Foreign Building Operations, while I'm working in the library at Main State. After much searching, we found our "dream house"— at least temporarily—in Fairfax. It's on two wooded acres and has a pool, which keeps Joe busy. We've enjoyed a blissful Summer— with the exception of a couple of Mid parties that nearly got us evicted from the neighborhood.

We're looking forward to seeing all the '64 folks at Homecoming—our first time back since graduation. Sincerely, Carolyn G. Rudy Thank you Carolyn for the news and for the photo.

We look forward to seeing you folks at Horaecoming as well. Of course it will be history by the time you see this in Shipmate.

NEWS FLASHES . . . Bob Jones mentioned in the survey that if anyone needs computers or PC's, he would be happy to obtain them through his company at cost. Contact Bill Sargent for details if you're in the market.

Bruce Newell passed along the following info about Ken Viafore. It seems that Ken has joined McDonnell Douglas as staff Vice President of Strategic Business Development. Ken was formerly the President of Viafore and Associates, A Management Consulting Firm in Seattle. Bruce said he didn't know we had any Classmates this smart! Best of luck

to you Ken in your new position.

As we come to the end of another year, may this Holiday season be your best ever! Somewhere during the Holidays, let's all take time to think about and pray for Marty and Steve Laabs.

Thank you for all the news this month. . . . You're the greatest. See you next time.

Sorry no column last raonth . . . I just flat out missed the deadline. Still working my RJ (real job) at General Dynamics but also trying to get two start-up part-time businesses off and running; one doing small business marketing services (i.e., computer graphics/database services) and the other developing educational software. Received a note from Skip MacMichael, whose change of command and retirement ceremony (at the Naval Warfare Assessment Center in Corona, Calif.) was a couple of months ago. He sent along a photo of Skip being congratulated by his son, Lt.(jg) J. L. MacMichael, J r , USN, at the reception. Skip spent a few months following his Navy retirement working for a Washington, D.C. defense contractor in Crystal City but then received the proverbial "offer you can't refuse" from the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (aka Amtrak) and has started work with them as their Director of Quality Control, Mechanical Department. John will be based in Philly but commute from the Washington area (at least he doesn't have to drive!). Ken Andrews checked in and related that when he was enroute to his retirement seminar in Orlando last July, he stopped to visit Steve McDonald in Cumming, Ga. As he pulled into his driveway.

Ken's wife keenly observed a similarity in license plates. Ken will be eligible to retire frora the FBI in May 1992.

Found in the Eagleletter, the Joumal of the National Eagle Scouts of America, was an article and pic of our very own Skip Moyer. It tums out that Skip is of the Eagle Scout Class of '56 and the article points out that Skip is the newly appointed director of the White House Military Office. Some iteras from die accompanying bio on Skip in the article: At sea, he served with VP-5 as tactics officer and VP-24 as operations officer He was attached to ComDesRon 2 Destroyer Development Group for two years as the operations officer and TD&E officer Captain Moyer was also executive officer, then commanding officer ofVP-16 from June 1979 to 1981.

The aforementioned Steve Fabry also wrote this month, enclosing a pictiire of his "Five-striper" daughter, Kristen '91 and himself (Boat School's Chief Pork Chop). Kristen was the Second Regimental Commander Steve says that Kristen hasfivetimes as many stripes as he had as a midshipman officer back in ourtimethere. Steve had the honor of swearing in Kristen at Commissioning Week, and like her old man, she is now an Ensign, SC and started Supply School in Athens, Ga. in mid-October, under the illustrious command of Andy Waldron. Steve says the new Class of '95 includes (in addition to Doug Wright's son (Will D.) Eric Brown (son of Don) and Carl Kohler (son of John). Steve is ensconsed at Porter Road and easy tofindwhen you're in the Annapolis neighborhood.

Bruce Liska's Naval Reserve retirement ceremony was held aboard COPELAND, an NRF frigate, in San Diego on 17 August. Bruce had 20 years in San Diego reserve units and three command tours. His last assignment was as a member of RAdm. David Jones' staff at the Naval Reserve Readiness Command Region 19. While there, he set up a Senior Officer Naval Warfare Seminar for Surface, Submarine and Air flags and captains. They met at TacTraGruPac for a tactical update on how the various branches work together in navy operations. Bruce saw Dick Genet at the San Diego Naval Station, where he was busy getting one of his DesRon 13 ships ready for sea. Dick took command of the squadron on 12 July. At RANGER change of command, Bruce ran into Charlie Sapp, CO of the Naval Aviation Depot (the old NARF) at North Island, and Ernie Tedeschi (Flag-select), who had his change of command on VALLEY FORGE on 14 September Charlie Sapp took command of the NAD in May 1991. Bruce said he received a call from Glenn Welch, dabbling in the Coronado real estate business since his retirement.

Bruce's RJ is with San Diego Gas & Electric which has had an "engagement" for a merger with Southem Califomia Edison in the wings for years, and recently tumed down by the powers to be, thus avoiding becoming the world's largest utility. Bruce manages the Electric Construction and Maintenance department for SDG&E. Tom Barry also wrote to say he retired back in July. He, Carol and daughter. Heather, have established roots in the Jacksonville "Beaches" area and have built and moved into a new home in Marsh Landing at Sawgrass. Tom has taken to real estate, especially country club developments and is a broker with Marsh Landing Realty, Inc., Marsh Landing Parkway Pointe Vedra Beach, Fla. 32082, (904) 285-7700 (O)/(904) 285-8530 (H). Tom swears by the beach, golf, tennis, boating, sailing and other amenities of the "Beaches" area. If you visit the Barrys, be sure and bring your golf clubs. Carol is teaching at tiie local middle school and Heather has started her sophomore year at the Univ. of North Florida. Noted a nice write-up on Tom Morgenfeld in an ad in Aviation Week, citing his achievement as the first test pilot of the joint ventare LockheedBoeing-General Dynamics prototype YF-22 aircraft to fire an AIM-120 AMRAAM (Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile). Also had a photo of Tora (that, alas, won't reproduce well) next to his President's memo in the newsletter of die Society of Experimental Test Pilots. Yes, Tom is the head of that organization. You can get a hold of Tora there at 44814 Elra Ave., Lancaster, Calif. (805) 942-9574.

Monica and Skip Yachanin sent rae a birth announcement for their new additions (twins), daughter Courtney Ann and son Alexander Smart, bom on 30 July 1991. Nelda and Bill Hart have moved to 633 King Edward Road, Charlotte, N.C. 28211, (704) 527-2202 (O)/(704) 366-0221 (H).

I have more news to lay on you guys, courtesy of Jeff Lewis but I'll save that for next month in case the input is slow. See you at Goose's A-N bash at the Shipmate, December 1991

Pointe! If you haven't checked in for awhile (like never?), please update me with a note and a photo.

'Til next month. Dave.

Pres., Capt. Fred R Moosally, Jr. USN East Coast Sec'y, Cdr. Mike Baird USN (Ret.) 63 Franklin St., Annapolis, Md. 21401 West Coast Cort., Robert G. Johnson, Jr. 5705 Friars Rd., #51, San Diego, Calif. 92108 Only about three weeks until Christmas, and Annapolis is all decked out. This is one of the most beautiful times of die year, and as I run through the "Yard" on my moming sojoums, the old memories rush back. It's different now, yet somehow the same.

Quite a lot of news so here goes.

Bill Wood writes diat he retired from the Navy two years ago, and went to work for North American Energy Services in Issaquah, Wash. Bill is temporarily in Los Angeles working on a team to develop operating procedures and installation training plans for three district heating and cooling plants for the greater Los Angeles area. Bill expects to retum to Issaquah by this month. Bill regretted not being able to make the 25th Reunion, but wished everyone a super time. Another Classmate unable to make the Reunion was George Keefe. George was able to write during a stop in Hawaii for torpedoes on his last patrol aboard FLORIDA (SSBN-728). George has been deployed out of die country for every Homecoming since graduation. He finally reached home in Bangor, Wash, in November George plans to retire July I, 1992. Perhaps he'll make the 30th Reunion.

Many thanks to Mrs. G. G. Thompson, a wife from the Class of 1928. She forwarded rae newspaper clippings from The Seattle Post-Intelligencer about Randy Hardy. Randy was recently selected by U.S. Energy Secretary James Watkins as the Administrator for the Bonneville Power Administration (BRA).

The BRA is coraposed of 3,400 employees and an annual budget of $3 Billion. Randy comes from the position of Superintendent of Seattle City Light, a post he has held since 1984. In that post. Randy oversaw 2,000 employees, had a budget of $400 raillion, and led the region's largest public utility into the modem age. Randy will face equally challenging problems at BPA, such as how to iraprove the salmon mns on the Columbia River system, and how to improve the region's electric power transmission grid to prevent a major power failure during the Winter peaking months. Continued success Randy.

Samford University has appointed Dr James Angel acting dean of the Orlean BuUard Beeson School of Education. Jim is also the chairman of the Department of Exercise Science and Sports Medicine. Congratulations Jim. Scott Redd writes that he was privileged to participate in the commissioning of HUE CITY (CG-66). Tom Eubanks reports to Scott under his administrative hat as Commander CmiserDestroyer Squadron Twelve. Nearly a dozen Classmates attended the event, including RAdm. (select) John Sigler, Capt. Pat Callahan (Commanding Officer, PHILIPPINE SEA, Bill Caiazza, and Scott's Plebe year roommate Jon Barton. Also attending were Jeannie Lopacinski and Joan (Barchi) O'Dell.

Scott missed the 25th reunion because he is deployed with the EISENHOWER Battle Group, but he wished everyone a great time.

Finally, some sad news. Honorary Classmate Rip Miller passed away on October 1, at the age of 90.

Rip was a sports legend as well as a reknown Navy football coach and the Navy Assistant Athletic Director for 26 years. Rip was one of the Seven Mules who blocked the way for the famous Four Horseman of Shipmate, December 1991

Notre Dame. Rip was the last surviving member of that team. He is in the Notre Dame Hall of Fame, the Washington Touchdown Club, and the National Football Hall of Fame. Despite his athletic accomplishments. Rip was best known for his work with countless young athletes interested in attending the Naval Academy. Those of us who played sports while at Navy know we've lost an old friend. I know you join rae in expressing the condolences and best wishes of the Class to his wife Es. That's it for the mailbag this raonth. This is an especially beautiful time of the year. I hope you all take the time to really enjoy the season, and I wish you all a very Merty Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year. Until February, all the bestâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Mike.

Pres., Cdr David E. Church USN (Ret.) Sec'y LCol. Jim McNeece USMC (Ret.) 4832 King Solomon Dr, Annandale, Va. 22003 This does not portend to be a fluffy column. We have some business to talk . . . an attaboy . . . and a challenge.

On October 4th and 5th, a gala weekend was held at USNA to dedicate the new Brigade Activities Center, Alumni Hall, as well as its Bob Hope Performing Arts Center It was an honor to be invited to attend and help represent the Class of 1967. Dave Church was there, and Skip Dittman, John Morton, Denny Hailey, and Dave Davis. Also there as part of the Glee Club was Page Creed '92, daughter of our Bart Creed. It was good; and we're happy to report the Class distinguished itself by its collective willingness to contribute to excellence at the Naval Academy.

The Class was named to membership in the Franklin Buchanan Society, an honor reserved for individuals

and organizations providing support in the range $100,000 to $500,000. Our Class is one of but 28 at this level. The long and short of it is, we done good!

And Alumni Hall is a fantastic facility. Some may think your's was but another tax-deductible contribution, but for those of us who have seen the place and roamed around and seen it in use, this was money weU-spent. We helped provide something of real, lasting value to the Brigade.

1 got a telephone call last night (Oct 18th) from one of our Plebes (and coincidentally, the officer who relieved Ted Hontz as CO PRINCETON) , Cutler Dawson '70. He and Bob Natter are neighbors out there on the West Coast, and they have undertaken a project with which they need help. Remember a couple of years ago when John Kieley was severely injured in a terrible auto accident? It tums out he was raedically retired from the Navy last July and is confined to a wheelchair, paralyzed from the neck down with but limited use of one arm. He is continuing his rehabilitation at the VA Hospital at San Diego. What Cutler and Bob are trying to do is obtain for John a "canine companion," a working dog trained to provide not only companionship, but assistance to folks like John. A dog like this can be, to a limited but valuable extent, the arms and legs he can't use. John has been accepted into die program, but there's a three to four year wait for a dog unless he can find a sponsor, and that's what Cutler and Bob are up to. They need to raise $10,000 for a sponsorship. They have a donor who has pledged a doUar-for-dollar match up to $5,000. They are asking John's Classmates for help, and I'm passing that request on. Every dollar we can raise will tally up twice with the pledged match. If the fund raising is successful, John can have his canine companion as early as March instead of three or four years frora now. I've talked to Dave, and we're going to look into a contribution frora the Class treasury.

There are details to be worked on that, but we both think it's a worthwhile Class effort. The bulk of the effort, however, depends on us as individuals. I know

Alumni Hall Inaugural: John and Lisa Morton, Jim and Pat McNeece, Dave and Charlotte Church, Page Creed '92, Denny Haley, and Skip Dittman

Ambroserendezvous:Bill Bartz, John Aunchman, Ike Ambrose, Jim Buttinger, and Dave Church 111

you'U be reading this as you gear up for the Holidays, so take a few of the bucks you were going to spend shopping or celebrating the New Year and write a check to "The John Kieley Fund" and send it to Bob Natter, 2721 Voyager Circle, San Pedro, Calif.

90732. Remember, if we can raise $5K, that gets tiimed into $10K, and John gets his dog in die Spring.

If we all turn to, it should be a piece of cake.

If you'd like to drop John a line, he and Cindy and their three sons live at 16149 Lofty Trail Drive, San Diego, CaUf. 92127. John's being awarded the Legion of Merit on 18 November 1991 by Admiral Bennett, ComNavSurfPac. As I was talking to Dave on the phone, he mentioned some pictures he has at Shipmate he's going to include in this column. There should be at least one there taken at the Alunmi Hall dedication, and another taken when Cindy and Ike Ambrose were on a business trip from Hong Kong a few weeks back.

Several foUcs, including Dave, John Aunchman, Jim Buttinger, and Bill Bartz and their wives got together for dinner in Annapolis at Busch's.

I forgot to include ray own live sighting report in the last column. Late one night as I was flicking through the channels on cable TV, I came across the NASA channel, and diere was Jim Buchli floating around live in black and white on board shuttle DISCOVERY. I lost a fair amount of sleep trying to figure out what he was up to. He was doing some checks on their handy-dandy space suits or something. However, I think I discovered a well kept NASA secret . . . duct tape. That's right, duct tape. Buchli had two rolls of the stuff and seemed to be applying it to everything in sight. This must be the high tech version of bailing wire as a fix-all.

Lists. Lists. DO I have lists for you, but thefirstis a list of companies which don't have a Company Rep for the 25tli reunion next Fall. The envelope please!

The laggards are companies 4, 9,17, 24, 29, 30, and 36.1 don't reaUy mean to be ugly about this, but the corapany reps are the best way we have to get in touch with people, and the tirae is rapidly approaching when we have to start doing that. Dave is mobilizing our Annapolis area Classmates to start getting things on track. He's going into the final stages of planning with our headquarters' hotels. We need the Company Reps to help us make the connection with our Classmates, so how about some "heppers" from those companies Usted.

I did get a letter and an update from the 14th Company Rep, Al Lawver. He's trying to get a net around all his guys and needs some help getting addresses on George Philip, Dave Julier, and Don Waid. Anybody widi any info get hold of Al at his new address: 2 Robalo Drive, Silverdale, Wash. 98315; phone: (206) 779-9345. In addition to asking for help on those guys, Al wrote: I have been reassigned as CO of GEORGIA (SSBN729) Gold homeported in Bangor, Wash. I've been in a training pipeline since the end of May, and my change of command took place 6 September. My counterpart on the Blue crew who will relieve on 8 November is Dick Raaz. In fact, Dick and I were assigned together at the S8G prototype PCO course in New York and shared a rented house. We managed to make it to the race track in Saratoga Springs a fewtimes,to the racquetball court at the YMCA a couple of times a week and to our numerous other activities. It was a thoroughly enjoyable four weeks together seeing who could tell the biggest sea story.

I've gotten a few lines on some of our other Classmates: Rich Mies is Chief of Staff at ComSubPac in Pearl; Joe Krol just relieved as NMPC-42, the head submarine detailer. Chuck Beers and Rocky English are holding down two key jobs (0P-21B and 22B, I believe) in OP-02 in the Pentagon; George Lear just left CO SubSchol to join them on that staff. Paul Ward is CO SubBase San Diego.

I will be going to sea soon, so if you don't hear from me until after the New Year, you'll know why.

I'll be in touch.

Back to the lists; Dave Church gave me another one taken at the Bowling Green game. 1 have to tell you, your secretary is taking some hits. Something came up and I had to take a miss on that game, but the comments on the list! Like "Hey! McNeece. Come to the game and write your own stuff." Gee, guys. I try hard! At any rate, the 34th Company chose to hold their annual mini-reunion at that game, and their attendees were Patti and Mike Frey, Kris and Dick Scott, Joan and Don Gkismar, Betty and Sandy Prouty, Ann and Al Davey, Paula and Jim Cook, and Maureen and Roger Paradis. I expect I'll get a full report on the goings on of this crowd . . . somebody usually comes through. Also at the game were Sandy and Dave Tate, Joanne and Pete Nanus, Lee and Rick Davis, Charlotte and Dave Church, Susanne and Ken Tuttle, Lisa and John Morton, Nita and Jack Parry, Al Nilson, Chuck Beers and his family. Bob Hawthorne and his crew, Cal Huey and little Cal, Sid Mohsberg and guest, and Kathy and Ed Kerins. Obviously conspicuous by his absence was your secretary, but thanks to those who covered for me.

Several of those same folks also showed up at the '67 "Churchmobile" for the Air Force game, which I was, by the way, able to attend. Other faces in the crowd belonged to Mike Apple and Sandy Padgett (Mike's guest), Glenda and Tom Decker, Dick Meade, Ike Eisenbach, Dave Candler, Loretta and Walt Vandivort, Bud O'Hara, Jim Goebel, Mary Lou and Jack Roe, Diane and Fred Bush, and Skip Dittmann. Additionally, I know I missed various wives, kids, guests, etc., and Mo and Steve Phillips had their van with its accompanying crowd of mids set up a few rows away.

Dave gave me yet another list of names of guys who were at the last "Slummers" gathering at Ft. Meyer: Bob Earl, Jim Hensley, Ed Kerins, Pete Nanos, Walt Vandivort, Al Nilsen, Roger Charles, Sid Mohsberg, Al Wynn, Bob Hawthorne, and Doug Ogden. Dave said Ed Mills, one of my predecessors in this post, was there, too.

Steve Woodall, the skipper of MOBILE BAY (CG-53), sent me a copy of his ship's publication.

The Patriot. I like to get those sorts of things. They give such a good insight into what a unit is like. It's one thing to say Steve is CO of MOBILE BAY; it's quite another to be able to share some of MOBILE BAY with Steve's Classraates, and I'll do that next time. Hate to cut it off, but I absolutely must stop.

Even with friends in high places over at Shipmate, there are limits to how much space I'm allowed.

I am totally unprepared to admit this is the last column of 1991, however The year has absolutely flown by, and I have no idea how it has gotten away. To each of you, have a safe, happy Holiday Season, and do two things for me. First, put me on your Greeting Card list. . . that will give me enough column material to last until March at least. And second, give some serious thought to putting some of your gift shopping money into the John Kieley Fund.

That's it. . . Goodnight!

Alumni Hall facUity For diose who did not hear about the format for diese games, diere were two games played. The first game included players from Classes which had graduated more tiian twenty years ago. (I really hated to admit that it included us!) The second game included players from Classes which had graduated widiin the last twenty years. For bodi games a team consisting of the players who graduated in even numbered years went against a team of players who had graduated in the odd numbered years. Both games provided much spirited competition. We are ably represented on the wiiming "even numbered years" team in thefirstgame by Chet Carroll, Hugh Kilmartin, and Bill Dow. Hank Schmidt was present to provide moral support though he did not play. My ten-year old son, Steven, raade sure we were there to see the second game with hope of seeing David Robinson '87 play. Well, David was present but was restricted from playing by his NBA contract. He still took the tirae to sign as many autographs as he could for all the young (and old) fans present. He made a very positive impression on the young, avid basketball fan in our family. Alumni Hall, by the way, is a very impressive facility. Hope many of you will get a chance to see it in the not too distant future. There is also still a need to contribute to the Alumni share in the funding of Alumni Hall, please send care of the Alumni Association.

There was a very fine write up in the sports section of The Capital (Annapolis) recently on Rich Bassi '92, son of Kitty and Phil Bassi. Rich is the captain of this year's very successful soccer team. Rick Buchanan's son is also an able meraber of the team. The Bassi's, by the way, are residing not too far away in Gettysbiug, Penna. where Phil is an assistant football coach at Gettysburg College. According to Kitty, who I saw recently when she was in town for a soccer game and who provided the photo, they like Gettysburg and especially its closeness to Annapolis. Rick Buchanan, who I saw at our October luncheon and briefly at the Midn Store, spent a bit of October in the AnnapoUs/D.C area by way of a combination of business and leave. He is currently ComSubGru7, stationed in Yokosuka, Japan, so this was a long way from "home" for him!

Not a memorable one for Navy football, but wait until next year. Has not been a great one for '68 mail either, but i'm sure next year will be the year when everyone decides to write!

Attended thefirstannual Alumni basketball games held m late September to help inaugurate the new

Dave Steere and Gordy Brown I did receive a nice letter from Dave Steere which I will pass on basically in its entirety: As you may remember, I considered myself a terminal Washingtonian, having spent two years in the Shipmate, December 1991

Pentagon (OP-03) followed by five years in Crystal City (NAVSEA). I had bought a house in /Annapolis over tiiirteen years ago during my tour at USNA (teaching wires and cables!) so it seemed logical to commute from Crabtown to D.C. for seven years!

What seemed logical then seems totally insane now.

A littie over two years ago I was offered command of NavElex Charleston and moved my family here just in time for Hurricane Hugo! Aside from the hurricane and the anguish of the base closure process (my command was removed from the closure list late in the eleventh hour), this has been absolutely the most enjoyable tour I could imagine. We do around $200M in annual business in support of high tech electronics systems installed worldwide.

It's really fascinating stuff and a real challenge to come down from the North and head up an organization which is at least 90% southemers (for at least three or four generations) and 99% civiUan. My mainregretsin leaving the D.C. area are that I don't often run into Classmates here and we really miss the sporting events at USNA. Speaking of southemers and civilians, one of Twentieth Company's finest was Gordy Brown. As I recall, Gordon had attended a year or two at Clemson University before entering USNA. I always enjoyed his accent and laid back approach to life. So laid back was he tiiat he had a bit of a run-in with French during Second Class year. His score on the final exam was said to have been the lowest in the history of the foreign language department. The academic board, noting his excellence in all else that he did, allowed him to take a re-exam. When his score actually declined, they gave him what was then a really unusual oppormnity; he was allowed to repeat the entire semester When his score again declined, it was CivLant for Gordy! Gordy joined us for the Twentieth Reunion in Annapolis, and I can honestiy say we were all just thrilled to see him again. I guess I sort of subconsciously resigned myself to another twenty or so years before I would see him again. Imagine my excitement when he tracked me down shortiy after I came to his region of the country. We spent a very enjoyable weekend reminiscing and I thought it might be fun to send you a copy of a picture my wife snapped of two aging buddies in the South Carolina sun. Gordy has made his career in the pasties business and his biggest claim to fame are the patents he has won for his various inventions. Many of his weekends are spent drilling with the Navy Reserves where he is an Intel expert.

One other member of the Twentieth Company that I see every once in a while is Bob Madel. Bob retired on twenty and settled in Virginia Beach. He took a challenging job with a contractor who is responsible for installations and field service work in support of radars and comm systems. Don't tell anyone, but lasttimeI was in Norfolk, I shared a couple of beers with a contractor!

Thanks for the letter Dave. We miss you at the luncheons, but it's apparent that this is a good assignment for you. Hope to see you back up here sometime down the road.

Received a press release on Dan Lear the other day. Dan was recently appointed a director of marketing, sales and service for Balzers High-Vacuum Division, North American operations based in Hudson, New Hampshire. Balzers is involved in the development and production of high-vacuum systems, components, and thin films used in a broad spectrum of high-technology applications.

I also talked briefly on the phone with Tom Neville who was in town in October, escorting a group of Idaho educators as part of the Blue and Gold program. Tom sounded good and continues to do well as a magistrate in Boise and a Captain in the Navy Reserves.

It was a relatively small gathering at the usual spot for our October luncheon. In attendance were Jim Cullen, Auggie Billones, Steve Erb, John Mayer, Dick Borowiec, Karl Mahumed, George Breeden, Karl Krumbholz (back at NAVAIR after his NATO tour). Rick Buchanan, Bob Ameson, Al Linberger, Rocky Gmeiner, and yours truly. As usual it was good to see the new and familiar faces. The next few

Shipmate, December 1991

luncheons are plaimed for 5 December, 6 Febmary, and 2 April, still meeting about 1145 at the Embassy Suites in Crystal City.

And with that, we will close for this month. I do wish all of you and your families a very special and blessed holiday season . . . Leo

Pres., William H. Newton IH Cort. Sec'y, Steve Hudock 6198 Old Brentford Rd., Alexandria, Va. 22310 Season's Greetings to all of you happy '69r's out there. We've had a few notes in the mail bag this month, so I'll share what I've received.

Pat Stroop wrote in October that he was in Bahrain still enjoying DEFCON III on die ComUSNavCent Staff, but he was longing to be back in Annapolis. He brings us up to date on some key '69 players in the Gulf, starting with Jim Ellis, CO of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, one of our larger carriers in the region.

Also aboard Abe is George (Jungle) Moore, who is the Staff Ops Officer for ComCarGru 3. George just made the transition from the East Coast. Finally, Todd Creekman took command of SAMUEL GOMPERS and stayed around for a few weeks in the Gulf region before he steamed her back to San Diego. Pat says things have settled down a bit over there, but they do have a few "helmut fires" every so often. His tour is due to end around Thanksgiving, so he hopes to catch a Navy WIN before the end of the season.

Pat also asked for a reserved seat at the 8 January '69 luncheon at the Ft. Meyer Officers' Club. Our last gathering on 11 September (also the second Wednesday of every other month) brought out a bunch of local and visiting '69r's as reported last month, including Phil Jamison, Dave IJorton, Al Hager, Larry Hagel, Mo Gauthier, Bob Gamer, Brian Engler, Perry Dunn, Gerry Doerapke, Pete Blackledge, Pete Renfree, and Paul Alfieri. If you'd like to attend, please give Steve Ward a call at 703-648-3824, ext 611, so we can have enough food prepared.

Received a press release reporting that Nelson Blish has been promoted to Senior Counsel, Patents and Trademarks, with Cooper Industries in Houston, Texas, where he's been since 1985. Prior to Cooper, Nelson spent six years as patent counsel for Philip Morris, Inc., in Richmond, Va. so we obviously have a well established patent lawyer on our '69 roster Congratulations Nelson, its a long way from crew coxswain on the Sevem! Also in the news, is Ron Mueller, Executive Vice President for BursonMarsteller, a public relations flrra headquartered in Washington, D . C Ron has been naraed Director of Public Affairs/Chicago for the company, which entailed a transfer from D.C. to Chicago, III., where he's made a home in Lake Forest.

A little news from our brothers in green. Bill Arbacas is serving in the Office of the Director of DLA at Cameron Station; Joel Cooley rettimed frora 3rd FSSG, Okinawa, to serve on the Department of the Navy Staff; Jerry Creed is at HQMC(PL) in D C ; Mike Cross is at FMFEur, London, U.K.; and Perry Dunn is the Executive Assistant to the Under Secretary of the Navy (Acquisition). Incidently, all of these guys have pinned on their Birds now, or will do so in the near futiire, well done. We now have only 19 active duty '69 Marines.

That's it for this raonth, and year. Hope to hear more from you folks out there. Don't be bashful, especially if you work in a job, or host an event where you have information about a number of our Classmates which we can "broadcast." My primary source of inforraation for our column is from YOUR letters, so take a minute and share with us. Have a safe and happy Holiday Seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Steve.

By the way, for those of you who send out one of those numeo-graphed messages, include me on your Christmas list. I can get you distribution on your letter you wouldn't believe . . .

Under the category of old business: in the October issue, there were two dapper young men's pictiues without identification. Bob Viney was the one in the power tie and his shipmate with the stem visage was Ed Fahey. Bob was in the article and I have no idea where Ed's smiling face came from, but there it was.

Bob provided follow-up of his company's PR release by sending me his version. They are living in Princeton, N.J. and looking forward to seeing more of Navy football and Alumni activities. He also included an article from Advertising Age magazine which cites hira as "one of the most visible environmental marketing executives in the U.S." Bruce Brunn came by die other day with his son, a future Marine helo pilot. Bruce wanted to pass along some of the Intel he acquired from being with Marine Forces CentCom, and Marine Center Chief of Staff, IntelUgence during Desert Storm. But I was no longer cleared for anything beyond rumor and gossip so he went away disappointed. He did let me know that Nick Pratt has finally pinned on his colonelcy, and that Clay Grubb had spent the first part of this year working on his Arab sensitivity as ANLICO in Kuwait area. Larry Walters also spent sorae tirae in the desert as owner/operator of "Saudi Motors." It seeras he was recalled to active duty for what araounts to being in charge of the tearasters, given 600 Saudi trucks and told to run the round-the-clock logistics runs to the front.

The Jay Gees Carl Wick gave me a heads up on some activities down at Pax River recently. They have named the new $15 million flight test facility (hanger for you

non-aviators) for Steve Hazelrigg. The building has 60,000 square feet of hanger space, 50,000 square feet of engineering, office and lab space, 11,000 square feet of warehouse and a foiu acre parking lot.

It contains all of the modem technological updates for such a facility. Steve's two daughters Cecily and Stephany did the unveiling. The program notes for the ceremony had a great photo which wouldn't reprint but included the following: Captain Steven A. 'Axel' Hazehrigg, USN, was the Chief Test Pilot of the Strike Aircraft Test Directorate on 15 August 1990 when his A-6E Intrader aircraft suffered a catastrophic failure of the longitudinalflightcontrol system during a testflightand he was killed. Captain Hazelrigg embodied the highest qualities of positive leadership, professional achievement, and selfless devotion to duty. These qualities, coupled with his warm, charismatic personality, fostered the officer/engineer team spirit that underlies the many successes of the Strike Aircraft Directorate.

In the Wants and Warrants section, we've found Dale Brehm's Class ring down at the beach in Pensacola. Now if anyone knows how to find Dale we can get the two of them together Please, if you know where he might be, let me know.

As you dash about madly trying to finish up last minute shopping, get the kids to rehearsals and performances, clean up at work or just get the house decorated, take a second to shake someone's hand, pass along a Holiday greeting and really mean it.

The only new piece of news this month comes from Dion Clancy: I've enclosed a picture of three "Fifth Batt Savages" at the World Airline Road Race. It was held in September at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

I'm on the left with Jim Nupp (center) and Fritz Blunt (righO. Ray Mackown no-showed the event with some lame excuse. We all ran the lOK race and then Nupper went on toranthe 5K also.

Besides flying for United, Fritz just took command of the reserve VP squadron at Pt. Magu. Jim Nupp flies for U.S. Air out of Boston.

I managed to track down Greg Peairs in Honolulu also in September. His squadron rode the INDY over and brought the MIDWAY back. I was on another tough airline layover. Greg was about to relin-

quish command of VFA-25 and has orders to Nuc Power School at Orlando (he says, "Disney World"). He is slated to be XO of a CVN after he gets nuclear. All for now. Beat. . . anybody.

Thanks again for the note, Dion, and Congrats to alcon. Have a great Holiday season, and . . . for those who have to be away frora their loved ones because of deploy raents or other commitments . . .you're in our thoughts and prayers. Come home soon.

Has anyone seen Kevin Crook lately?

Two of our Classraates have been published in recent issues of Proceedings. Cdr. J. C. Stencil (a fellow "AnaMana Man") wrote in Septeraber 1991, on page 55: "Aircraft—Yes! Tactics—Yes! Weapons— No!" As commanding officer of VFA-87, Craig and squadron were on board THEODORE ROOSEVELT (CVN-71) during the Gulf War. LCol. John W. Graham (my roommate) responded to a June 1991 article in the October 1991 issue of Proceedings on page 23. Even a non-aviator layman like myself understood John's case for F/A-18's. The original "Gnarl" could always put a very effective pen on paper, and that ability is highlighted in John's article.

(Roomie, where are you now? Rumors have it as MAG-31 in Cherry Point/Beaufort ??!) And, while not a Classmate, Bob Stumpf, '74 (rowed with 13 of us for 2 - 3 years at Hubbard Hall) and Bob also wrote in September 1991, page 86, "Red Sea Homets Go To War". Bob was CO of VFA-83 on board SARATOGA. We have seen a few Classmates at Navy football games. This season reminds me of 1969 when we were Plebes and Rick Forzano's R^P^ offense led us to a 1-10 record. (Who'd we beat and get carry-on for?) John Austen is with GE in Springfield, Va., after having been on the West coast with IBM. Doug Rice and Rob Casey and spouses! It was reported to me by a Classmate (sorry that I do not remember whom) that Carraen (Sal) Mindelli is IBM Regional Sales Manager in Minneapolis. Wes Wells is with GEICO in Wichita Falls (same unknown Navy football fan told me so). It's been good to see Tom White join regulars Callahan, Storch, Yackus, Dawson, Schaefer, Ashmore, Marquardt, Simcox, Maresh, scribe and others on the visitor's 40-yard line. Even if the game loses interest, we can look over at the "everenthusiastic" Brigade, have sunshine to warm us, visit convenient snack bars and heads, view the visiting team cheerleaders and reminisce and visit. John Ashmore's done a terrific job of getting us together I strongly recommend that you contact him at (301) 266-5339 early for next season's games. Hey, the garaes have got to get better, and all of the above stays the same!

(SSN-750), writes a short note as he catches up on cortespondence after leaving for the Med very suddenly last January in order to be part of the Desert Storm Tomahawk Team in support to CENTCOM. While Command has been challenging and rewarding. Marc's relief is in the pipeline with change-ofcoramand due in April. As 26th Company Rep, Marc asks companymates to drop him a line at 1336 Armistead Bridge Road, NorfoUc, Va. 23507. Thanks, Marc!

Ken Reightler sent us a nice note along with his DISCOVERY patch. (Three of five crew members were USNA grads!) It appears that '73 had a nice reunion in Florida at a reception hosted by Ken's foUcs. Pictiires to follow—please! Ken was able to take a Navy pennant up with hira, but the '73 football jersey was a "fire hazard" and could not go up. (Storch, Dawson—how about a disclaimer to the rest of us with said hot jerseys!?) A Varsity "N", to be presented to the Sailing Team, also went 1.9 million miles, with a new altitude record, 308 nautical miles, being applied for Ken, we can't wait to hear the details in person! Congratulations on a super flight while representing '73, USNA, and the Navy!

One bit of sad news. Bill Holmes' son, David, 11, passed away on 26 August 1991 as a result of complications of viral pneumonia. David was a special child who, while suffering much during his short life, brought much joy to his mother, younger brother.

Dad and family and friends. Our prayers are with you, BiU. Remember, when you send in your contributions to USNA Alumni Assocation, mark "Class of 1973" on the check! That's ail for now. Have a Merty Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Holiday with you and yours!

'73!

Next luncheon is 1130 Tues. at Ruby Tuesdays, Pentagon City Mall. Call Jerry Blanton at (703) 697-5807.

Pres., Steve Middleton Sec'y Cdr. Bill Hall SC USN 722 N. Armistead St., Alexandria, Va. 22312 (703) 354-9193 Happy Holidays Classmates. I hope that you are looking forward to a wonderful holiday period with your families and loved ones. 1 have heard frora a number of Classmates this month so without further adieu we'll start off with a letter frora Neil Rondorf: I had to write and set the record straight. I really enjoyed the '74 column in the Oct '91 issue of Shipmale. Great job and congratulations to Morgan Ames for a terrific letter Although I like to think my crew contributed to the Desert Storm effort, I did not launch missiles from the Red Sea. (Secy's note: Morgan credited Neil with launching the first Tomahawk missiles during the Gulf war.) I greatly appreciated Jeff Liggio and Morgan Ames effort to give me all the credit but I have to be honest.

1974 was well represented by the CO's of submarines in theater Rich Terpstra in DALLAS (SSN700) and I on MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL (SSN-708)

both deployed to die MED in August of 1990. We were both extremely busy keeping up with the fast paced changes in the worid situation. We both exercised every role possible for our submarines. We were both tied up alongside ORION in Italy for Christmas. His wardroom beat mine in volleyball but I did have the privilege of beating his JO's at darts.

After Desert Storm commenced we were both fully occupied supporting the Sixtii Fleet objectives in the MED. After things settled down Tom Dion also joined us in FINBACK. YOU could say that '74 commanded the lions share of the deployed submarines at the time.

This Summer I also had the honor of attending the change of command for Jim Trotter, KITTIWAKE and Phil Poleframe on OKLAHOMA CITY.

Neil's home address is Qtrs M-2, Portsmoutii Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, N.H. 03801. Phone (207) 439-8702. His ship address is CO, USS MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL (SSN-708), FPO New York

09578.

Don Tomlinson gave me a call recently. He's working at NAVSUP 02X and looking for orders Shipmate, December 1991

some time next year. He and his wife, Desiree, were married in March, 1990 and their son Christopher just celebrated his first birthday This is Don's second son, his first son Daniel (11) lives in Georgia with Don's first wife. Desiree's daughter Brittany (5) lives with Don and Desiree on 7 acres in Waldorf, Md. Desiree is a CPA for T J. Murphy.

1 also got a phone call from my Fust Class year roommate, Ty Aldinger. 1 haven't talked to Ty since I visited him at NPGS Monterey in '78 or '79 so it was good to get a call.

Ty is an Oceanographer and the CO of Naval Oceanography Command Facility, San Diego. He took over as CO in June following a tour as Director of Operations, Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center, Monterey. Prior tours have included a tour as Oceanographer Meterologist on ENTERPRISE and Science Advisor to the Astronaut Corp., Johnson Space Center, Houston.

Ty's command provides West coast environmental support in the form of meteorological forecasting for West coast air stations and his mobile environmental teams deploy on PacFlt ships to provide environmental support. He has 11 activities under his command frora Adak to El Centro with a staff of approximately 250 personnel.

Ty and his wife Charlie were married in 1978 and have two children, Stacy (6) and Kelly (3). They kept their house in Monterey, (I don't know if it was because of the slow market or future plans to retum), and are renting a place in Coronado. While in Monterey, Charlie was General Manager of the Cobblestone Inn in Carmel.

Ty's home address is 41 Port of Spain Road, Coronado, Calif., 92118 and his horae phone number is (619) 423-8541. Work phone is (619) 545-6027, Autovon (735).

Ty was able to provide information on a few Classmates that he has kept in touch with. Richard Anderson and wife Marianne live in Seattle where Rich is a Senior Project Engineer with Boeing. They have no kids unless you count Fred their cat. Rich left the navy in 1985 following a department head tour on CARL VINSON. Rich was a double E major at USNA, got his masters in Computer Science at NPGS and according to Ty he attended a special school or program at Camegie Mellon. Rich was an A-6 NFO in die Navy but it sounds like he has found a better use for his talents.

Sharon and Jim Wilbur have two kids and live in Denver where Jim is a pilot with Continental; Susan and Jim Crowder have two kids and live in Coronado where Jim is a senior GS at the Naval Ocean Systems Coraraand; and, Dick Plush lives in Del Mar and flies for Araerican out of Los Angeles.

In an earlier column I mentioned that the Class had not been incorporated at graduation and that our President, Steve Middleton, was working on correcting that discrepancy. 1 can now report that the Class of 1974 has been incorporated as a non-profit organization since 11 September 1991. At some point in the future when column space permits, I'll reprint the Articles of Incorporation. Until next raonth, Ciao for now.

Pres., Raymond P. Wassel, Jr. Sec'y Cdr. David R Gray USNR 739 Cedar Run, Waldorf, Md. 20603 I can't believe the way the raonths are flying by. I could have swom I just sent in ray column last week not last raonth. Of course I did not get many reminders to think about for diis issue. I received a letter from Fred Cohrs '72 in I8th Company: Altiiough I was in '72. diought the 14th Co. '75ers might like to know what has become of my Shipmate, December 1991

brother Dan ('75, 14th Co.) who left USNA after Youngster Cruise. He is now Vice President, International Finance for Northwest Airlines in Tokyo.

After leaving USNA in 1972, he attended/graduated from Michigan State University, then eamed a Ph.D. infinanceat Comell. Taught at Harvard Business School for two years, worked atfinancialconsulting in San Francisco before going to Marriott's Corporate headquarters in Washington. He's been at Northwest for a year. He can be reached through his Minneapolis office at 612-727-4999.

1 also received an update from Mark Harper.

Mark is an Assistant Professor in the Naval Systems Engineering Department at USNA. After graduation he eamed his master's in Nuclear Engineering at M.l.T. (1976) and served aboard fast attack submarines. After being assigned to the Academy as an instructor in the Mechanical Engineering Department, Mark decided that he liked what he was doing and wanted to spend some time at it. He joined the faculty as a civilian and began working on his Ph.D. Now he is Dr Harper and is the newest assistant Professor in the Naval Systems Engineering Department. He is now working towards academic tenure. Congratulations and good luck, Mark.

Well, that's all the updates for now. Since, I let the deadline surprise me this month you are all safe frora rae trying to add to the coluran. Take care.

Joe Buranosky USMC 3015 Greenwich St., Carlsbad, Calif. 92008-7030 Correspondence has been slow during the past raonth, but I hope to see a lot of folks at the reunion and have more news to pass on in the next issue. 1 did get a letter from Bill Hawn last week; he and Diana are still in Virginia Beach. Bill was finishing his tour as XO of MISSISSIPPI and going to Group EIGHT as Material Officer Bill had news of other Classmates to pass on.

He received a letter from Bob Deal who is XO of SAND LANCE and scheduled to relieve as XO of L. Y.

SPEAR early next year. Bob's wife Carolyn was promoted to Captain and is working at USCinCLant as Chief of Policy for Security Assistance. Steve Gray is the Assistant Director at the Navy Safety Center Bill Casey is stationed at Norfolk Naval Shipyard as a nuclear ship superintendent; he and his wife Deidre just had a babyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;congratulations! Ricky Carper was XO of SOUTH CAROLINA and awaiting orders in

Pres., Maj. Keith Tibbits USMC Sec'y Cdr. Bill Millward USN Qtrs. FE 1288 Ave. H, Charleston, S.C. 29408-1908 West Coast, LCdr. Dempsey Butler USN Box 35, FPO Seattle, Wash. 98767-2708 Shipmates, we have a lot of terrific news this month, so hang on to your hats! Before I proceed though, 1 would like to start off by closing out the year with some thoughts. The Deceraber season is always a time for this kind of reflection and planning for the New Year. As far as the reflection is concemed . . . wow, what a year it has been! This time last year I recall being on the verge of deploying to the Persian Gulf to face the fourth largest army in the world. All the uncertainty surrounding that deployment was something that I had never experienced. Then there was the victory! FinaUy, our military was elevated to new heights when the public witnessed firsthand the effectiveness of our high tech weaponry and the ability of the men and women in uniform. Americans then showed their gratitude by welcoming retuming deployers horae in a fashion that had no parallel since WWII. Our navy was involved in numerous other events around the world. We provided comfort to the Kurds in Northem Iraq, we were angels from the sea in Bangladesh, we evacuated our people from the fiery vigil of Mount Pinatubo and from the events in Liberia. Our navy responded to all of these world events while, at the same time, faced with historic cuts in force levels and personnel end strength. Then came the revolution in the Soviet Union followed by a round of high stakes draw poker, where President Bush offered up the strategic side of the air force along with all sea launched cruise missiles, only to be followed by President Gorbachev's . . . I'll see your air force and raise you my ground force tactical nukes! And who knows where the Middle East peace summit will lead us. Then there were the Thomas confirmation hearings . . . So how can we plan for next year? To each their own on that one. I think that I'm going to reread All I Ever Needed To Know I Learned In Kindergarten, by Robert Fulghum and go from there!

George Herning filed the following report from his palatial EISENHOWER stateroom as he headed out on deployment.

Have recently spoken to a number of my 32nd Company brethren, so I'll pass on their whereabouts. Bill Daniels is XO in NASHVILLE out of Norfolk and left on deployment the week before I did. He and his lovely wife, Kelly, had their second child in July, whose name I unfortunately do not remember Billy is looking forward to completing his tour next Spring and heading to a demanding DC. job. Mike Wertz just left his fleet squadron and is trying to invent work over at AirPac while he waits to go back to afleetXO tour His wife, Catie, and their 3 children are doingfineafter spending August playing in upstate New York. I saw John Wilson back at the scene of the crime (on board IKE, which he shepherded through our last SRA and nearly destroyed my stateroom) just before we left. He was beside himself at the prospect of becoming Engineer Officer in ROOSEVELT in the Spring of '92. A dream come trae! At least his lovely wife, Gail, will not have to counteract his influence around their 3 children since he'll never be home! Michael Golda is living it up in New Jersey in between trips to Bermuda with his wife Katie and their 2 kids. Mike's big into ceramics and is angling for the perfect job somewhere else. Aren't we all?

Cal Bagby was caught just before he flew off to the Pacific Northwest for a reunion with his old Canadian flying buddies at Comax. leaving his much more attractive Canadian wife. Nori-Ann, and daughter. Brenna. to hold down the fort in Toledo at their new house. He did mention he was going to try

115

and hook up with fellow Northwest Airline pilot Skip Chestnut at his home in Oak Harbor on this trip. Cal has a computer so I think that we should demand a full account of his trip soon.

The D.C. contingent checks in with Dayna and Greg Cooper expecting their fourth son in October They would then have enough for a basketball team, if Greg would play. Greg's reportedly found a job in the Pentagon to last his whole tour! John Read is up the hill at the Annex doing whatever surface line guys do after their XO tour. His wife, Janet, and the 3 kids (again, that number!) are happy to be with him instead of trying to unload the house in Poway.

And the ever shadowy Mike Beck has been reported several times in the area; however, I refiise to believe it until I see him. I suspect he is afigmentof Craig Netterling's imagination.

I have been very remiss in not speaking to my "Neat Bro," Bob Condry, but I did write recently Bob lives the most excellent civilian hfe (except for drill weekends) with wife, Lisa, and seemingly mandatory 3 kids in Woodbridge when not carpooling with the other bandits into the Beltway.

Back out to San Diego, Kathye and John Geary only have TWO children and are upsetting the Class average. John is an electronic EDO wizard who may unfortunately lose his command to the realignment shuffle, but I'm not sure.

I haven't found any Classmates in IKE since Steve Weingart left to be XO, but have not canvassed the squadrons yet. Of course, since I am hopefully leaving in early November (breathlessly awaiting orders, but I'm not guessing because last time I did and wrote, I ended up on the opposite coast) I may not have time. The reason I have recentiy spoken to a number of the above people is to invite them to my wedding at Little Creek on 23 November 1991. The whole Class is invited (it's easy to be magnanimous like this when you know no one will see this for a few months). The lovely Debbe Cafik of Tomoto, Canada has coaxed me out of bachelorhood (actually, I begged her to marry me!) and we are looking forward tofillingour Class quota of kids. We met 5 years ago at Bagby's wedding and I wholeheartedly agree with Cal that Canada's most notable export is not cold air, but rather beautiful women.

Although I won't make it to any football games this year (a good year away), I hope everyone enjoyed Homecoming and I look forward to seeing everyone next year at the fifteenth. BEAT ARMY. George.

Thanks, George, for that tertific letter and the invite. You never know about these things! Your ending about the fifteenth is a great lead into the next letter from Rick White who has assumed the "copointman" duties in arranging the fifteenth reunion activities! Rick mentioned that they have reserved 150 rooms for the Class at the BWI Holiday Inn. This is a package deal that includes a welcome party Friday aftemoon, 2 nights of accommodations and a complimentary brunch on Sunday. The price of the entire package is $138 (single) or $148 (double).

What an excellent price! Please call 301-859-8400 for reservations. Special or unique reservations can be handled on a case basis. For those of you who haven't been to the Aimapolis area for awhile you will be pleased to know that a new Highway 97 has been opened which makes the trip down from the Holiday Inn a breeze. You won't have to contend with the stop and go traffic on Route 2, Ritchie Highway! In addition to the package deal. Rick has arranged bus transportation similar to what was available for the tenth.

Other activities include: a superb tailgater, planned

by Tom Campbell; and a outstanding "goodies" package, prepared by Carl Moore. All in all, the entire event is looking up! Call Rick at 410-974-8090 or Tom Campbell at 410-662-3205 if you are interested in helping out.

Rick mentioned another issue that we really need your help, and that is updating your address with the Alumni Association. Just drop a post card with your latest address to: U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association, Alumni House, Annapolis, MD 21402-5068.

Just because you receive Shipmate doesn't mean that 116

the Alunmi Association has your current address.

I appreciate all the great information sent in for this column. Owen Thorp has promised a full accounting of Homecoming '91, so expect some more top notch news next month. Happy New Year . . . happy trails, Bill.

Pres., Steve Maloney Sec'y, Vince Balderrama 10 De Marchis D r , Shelton, Conn. 06484 It's tirae again to play "spot the goof." Looking over a few back issues of Shipmate I've encountered one or two minor typos and left out words (Well, several . . . well, ok, ok tons of 'em). Unfortunately, 1 can't attribute them all to editorial error (darn it!).

These things always seem to crop up at the worst moraent, just when I'ra on a roll—I lose sorae of my best stuff to these glitches. Not that this is exactly Pulitzer material, but then again it's not bird cage lining either Or is it? Hey, don't you guys keep these things for posterity?!

For those of you who don't get past the Class Column and the Last Call, please take another look at the article by Pete Grieve '77 and our own Joe Schmitz in the October issue. It's an outstanding chronology of their dogged attempts to successfully reinstate the Gl Bill to both '77 and '78. You know this has been an effort which spanned over 12 years. For those of you who work in the defense arena and around the beltway you can really appreciate the determination it took to make that happen—and I thought it took a milleniura to finally get a weapon system fielded!

Anyway, a hearty Bravo Zulu again to both Pete and Joe and all of you who took the time to write, call and harass your raan on the hill to set the record straight.

But for those of us who couldn't take advantage of post graduate education in time to take benefit from this belated windfall, the battle isn't really over.

Chris Jensen has taken the lead to help us in getting the VEAP conversion to the Montgomery GI Bill. So get that back issue away from Tweety, clean it off and read it again. For those of you who are applying for the refund Joe has provided two examples, adapted frora the VA circular, of how the refund process works: SECTION 207 PAYMENT EXAMPLE NUMBER 1: Alex, a 1977 Naval Academy graduate, pursued an approved master's degree and received $6,000 in Chapter 32 benefits for training pursued through 12/31/89. Out of this amount, $2,000 represents Alex's own contributions. Had Chapter 34 benefits been available, Alex would have received $7,000 in educational assistance.

The Section 207 payment would be calculated as follows: Amount payable under Chapter 34 (for training received prior to 1/1/90) $7,000 Chapter 32 Payments made for training prior to 1/1/90 minus person's own contribution ($6,0OO$-$2,0O0) $4,000 Section 207 payment $3,000 SECTION 207 PAYMENT EXAMPLE NUMBER 2: Patrick, a 1978 Naval Academy graduate, pursued an approved graduate degree under Chapter 32 from 1988 to the present time. He was paid $3,000 in chapter 32 benefits of which $1,800 was for training pursued through 12/31/89. ($600 of that amount represents his own contributions.) He currently has $5,100 in Veteran's Education Assistance Program (VEAP) benefits remaining ($1,700 of that represents his contributions). Had Chapter 34 benefits been available, Patrick would have received $1,900 in educational assistance for training pursued prior to 1990.

Tne Section 207 payment would be calculated as follows: Amount payable under Chapter 34 $1,900 Chapter 32 payment minus Patrick's $600 contributions ($1,800$-$600) $1,200 Section 207 payment $ 700 Patrick will also receive a $1,700 refund of unused Chapter 32 contributions. If Patrick is planning to go to school, he will receive $2,700 more in benefits by not electing section 207 benefit. On the other hand, if Patrick hasfinishedschool, he will receive $700 more by electing the Section 207 benefit.

NOTE: Patrick keeps the $1,200 in Chapter 32 benefits paid to him for training pursued after 12/31/89.

However, if Patrick elects to receive the $700 Section 207 payment, Patrick may not reenroll thereafter in Chapter 32 even if he remains on active duty.

If Patrick delays his election to December 31,1991, he in the meantime, may use his Chapter 32 entitlement remaining ($1,700) and retain payments based upon it without penalty.

Thanks for the gouge, Joe. But if anyone understands any of that, maybe you can help me decipher those instructions Santa will leave on putting together my son's toy.

1 have a few lists to go through. The first one comes courtesy of Craig Diffie. It's been gathering dust in a desk drawer for the past few months, so long ago in fact that Craig has already transferred frora the post frora which he sent it. Craig had written to let me know the results of the aviation command screen board and which of you "Nasal Radiators" made the first cut. Of course the issue these days is not so much an issue as to when you'll get command but whether there will be a command to be had! I ran into Craig and Libby at the dedication of Alumni Hall in October. He was quick to let me know that 1 was pond scum for being so tardy with his letter (Thanks for coraing to ray defense, Libby!) Anyway, I'm trying to raake amends so here goes.

HC—John M. Costello; VAM—David H. Buss; VF—Michael D. Crisp; HS—Thomas (Chip) L. Walston; VAW—Daniel T. Kuehlen and Michael J. Galpin; HSL—John (Jay) H. Bowling IH, Tom C. Trudell, Alex B. Hnarakis, Glen R. Ives, and Jacob R Wilkins; VP—Harry B. Harris, Paul M. Pietsch, and Richard B. Wren; and finally, VFA— Mark I. Fox, Matthew S. Pasztalaniec, and Wade C. Tallman.

This is a pretty good showing when you consider that this was a first look! Dan "Deep Selected" Keuhlen is especially kicking tail because he's now listed in Year Group '76!! Way to go Danno! As for the Diffies, Craig, Libby, Douglas (5) and Samuel (3) are enjoying Annapolis. Craig is the Sup's Staff Secretary He's pretty quick to tell you that he's NOT the Aide. Of course, a leash is still a leash and that blue and gold agulet looks like a "Fido puller" to me. Besides his Macho Aviator Wings, Diff is also sporting a SWOS pin. This should raake you Boat Drivers nervous and you Aviators wonder—Where did he go wrong?! 1 guess it goes to show you that an airdale can always drive a boat but a boat driver can't always fly Diff has solved the dilerama of his uniform by wearing one black and one brown shoe. What a fashion stateraent. 1 once had a variation on that theme when I wore different colored socks—Hey, some momings are rougher than others!

In the interest of equal time for warfare specialties Larry Galvin sent a pretty extensive list of our Classraates who are currently at the XO stage of their submarine careers. But first a little bit about Larry When he wrote, he was going through PXO School in Groton along with Darrell Cofsky, Al Gonzalez, Bob Guy, Chris Lagemann, Matt Rausch, and Bob Zaiaskus. After he completes school he and his family (Atti and their sons, Andy (4), Danny (2) and Timmy (6 months)) will head for Hawaii. Larry will report to BUFFALO where he'll relieve Ben Richter as XO next month. Prior to Groton I gather that Larry

Shipmate, December 1991

was at MIT for some Masters Program. While at MIT he ran into Clarke Orzalli (who had showed up for a 3 year ED graduate program) and Harry "Binkley Harris (who's at the Kennedy School of Govemment at Harvard). Anyway here's the list Larry sent. As he put it, "This data has been verified to be correct except in those cases where it is wrong." What? Already, Larry is talking like an XO: Joel Bohlmann, ALABAMA (Blue), Bangor; Darrell Cofsky, FINBACK, NorfoUc; John Cohoon, HOUSTON, San Diego; Clint Cragg, TUNNY, Pearl Harbor; Kevin Donlon, HENRY M . JACKSON, Bangor; John Ehlers, SUNFISH, Charleston; Dave Eyier, LAPON, Norfolk; Jeff Fowler, HYMAN G. RICKOVER,

Norfolk; Larry Galvin, BUFFALO, Pearl Harbor; Al Gonzalez, JEFFERSON CITY, Newport News; Bob Guy, BIRMINGHAM, Pearl Harbor; Walt Haberland, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN (Blue), Charleston; John Hancock, VON STEUBEN (Blue), Charleston; Cecil Haney, ASHEVILLE, NorfoUc; Mike Holden, exDANIEL WEBSTER,

Sean. If there is a judgeship in this somewhere, can you fix a parking ticket?

Well that appears to do it for the raonth. In keeping with the theme of this month's article—lists—I'll close with mine: Ninetendo, a Rolex watch, a Waterman pen, at Mazda Miata, a couple of inches (to be added or subtracted from anywhere on rae), two tickets to this year's Super Bowl and the NCAA Final four and oh yes, theraostexpensive item of all—an unlimited family pass to Disneyworld. That, of course, is my short list for Christmas. The likelihood of Santa coming through on it is pretty slim, but I hope he at least comes through with one item on mine as well as yours! As Larry Galvin, put it—Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas) and Haoule Makahiki Hou (Happy New Year)! I gotta launch, some chubby guy in a red suit just fragged rae for a cross country.

I'm launchin' . . . Blitzen Flight outbound . . . See you next year.

A little bit of further update on Eric Lindstrand which I neglected to put in last month's column. After a Plebe Summer as the Port Battalion Officer he is now the 25th Company Officer for the Ac Year. He invites all his former 24th Company Classmates to look him up when you get the chance. You can reach him at (410) 267-5396.

In October I made it out to the Marine Corps Aviation Association's annual convention in San Francisco. (It's a tough job, but SOMEBODY has to do it!) Among the award recipients was Dick Findlay.

Finner was this year's Marine Corps NFO of the Year.

As sorae of you raay recall, another Classmate, Mark McKeon, was the recipient two years ago. It looks like we can't fail to excel. Dick, Jenny and their kids are now in Southem Califomia. Finner is stationed at El Toro and is undergoing advance video game training. That is to say, he's transitioning from the A-6 to the F/A-18. Jenny is in the Marine Corps Reserves and is herself a Major Wow, Major Dad AND Major Mom! A last bit of quick news—1 heard it from a reasonably reliable source that our favorite barrister, Sean Coffey, is no longer with a law firm, but has joined the ranks of Wopner, Thomas, and Roy Bean. It appears that Sean has been appointed to some circuit court position in New York. The details are a little fuzzy, so I'm throwing this out knowing that I'll get confirmation, and very likely some correction, from Shipmate, December 1991

Pres., Mike Finley Corr Sec'y Lt. Kenneth Russell USNR 6234 Azalea Dr, Quartz Hill, Calif. 93536 (805) 943-7933 Kids, this episode is coming from beautiful Fallon, Nevada, where yours truly is doing his two weeks for Mom, Apple Pie and of course, Gunka Sugie. I've been flying the new HH-80H's using night vision goggles every night and they're PAYING me. What a country. Fortunately, 1 ran into a few Niners who gave me all kinds of great info to pass, otherwise this month would be lacking the usual extravaganza of excitement; and let's not forget, it's just in time for the holidays. With the valuable background data out of the way, let's get right to it.

First off, Al Whiting, 1 completely screwed up last November's company letter and I owe you big time. If you're within the sound of my voice or back in the States, please send your new address. I needed to ask some questions about the corapany letter, etc. Please accept blanket apologies and please get a hold of rae.

You 26th company guys, get your pencils out and have a letter locked and loaded so that when Doughball's new address gets published, he gets all new info. If not, there'll be blistered fannies, I guarantee.

Tom Gehrki wrote a great letter from Monterey where he is attending NPS. Because I'm always on that keen razor's edge, my incredible sense of preplanning causedraeto forget the letter at home, so the info will have to wait until the January/February magazine. Tom, sufficient payback has already occurted. After leaving Point Mugu for Fallon, and aboutfivehundred feet over Bishop, Califomia, I remembered that my shaving kit was still on the front seat ofraycar back in the squadron parking lot. Some days, there's just not enough coffee in the world . . .

I got to sit down with Jim Gigliotti this week and get lots of info. Jim owns the Tactics Department here at Strike U. He is going to pick up the Training Department in a few weeks, soraething Gigs is really looking forward to. They're aheady planning on replacing the carpet as they drag hira from one office to the next. Jim's keeping his fingemails nice and long for the big event. Jim, Lee, Lauren 5 and Jimmy 3, are hoping to go to the War College after this tour.

Lee, how will you stand leaving that green paradise, shopping at Raley's and the great farruly entertainment on Wednesday's at the Nugget? It'll be tough, I know. Jim gave me some "goozhay" on other Niner's he's seen. Jim's bro. Ken Gigliotti is the OpsO for VF-84. Kenny and Cheryl are expecting a mini-Gigs sometime real soon. Cheryl, since I know Ken won't write, could you send me the particulars after the new

one arrives? Kenny will take you out on a romantic dinner if you do. Thanks. Ed Patterson is a WSO in the new F-18D's at El Toro. Steve Vetch is the OpsO for VF-41. Dan Cloyd is in D.C, stashed in one of those "Let's Go To War" think tanks. Jim was reminiscing over the time when he, Dan and Scott Bmce were at TPS together Now tiiere's sorae tax dollars hard at work, huh? Jim, thanks a bunch for the info and also for the computer, without which, this month would not be possible, although right now, there's probably a few who would hold that against you.

1 also got to chit-chat with Al Womble, another member of the U. of Strike's faculty. He and Cindy have been here since November '87. The newest Womble, Taylor 3 raonths, joins Ashley 8. Al leaves Fallon this Summer where he'll probably transition to F-18D's and go back to Cherry Point. Al gave me some Classmate info in addition to a great picture of he and Taylor Bob Huddleston is the Intel officer for CAG-7 on IKE. John Miclot works at USMC's Puzzle Palace in Aviation Procureraent Weapons. Al saw John for about ten minutes at the five sided Mother of All Puzzle Palaces a few months ago. Al also mentioned Mike Hawkins and diought that Mike was finished at PG school in Monterey. Al, thanks for the info and congratulations to you and Cindy

Sandy, Nancy. Amanda, and Christina

A big pleasure for me was getting to sit down with Sandy Jones for a few hours and get all kinds of stuff 117

about Classmates and to remember those kooky days at NAPS. Sandy is AdrainO for the "Sluggers" of VF-103 out of Oceana, with whom he got to spend eight fun months flying over the Mother of All Restricted Areas and those peace loving Baby Milk Factory workers. He should be moving into Ops or Maintenance real soon. Question Sandy: Could Saddam still make non-fat even with the Homogenizers taken out? Hopefully, he too will be going to the War College after this tour Sandy gave me a great pictiu-e of the Jones' that I hope got printed. Nancy and the two gorgeous girls, Amanda 3 and Christina 1 are defitutely in the "babe" category. And if any of you noticed, without the mustache, Sandy looks EXACTLY like he did at NAPS. No aging whatsoever And Sandy, the rest of us hate your guts for that.

Sandy's stuff goes like this: Mindy and Brad Smith live in Peach Tree City near Atianta. The Smiths have two young'ns, Sean and Sarah. Brad flies for Delta and also flies S-3's out of Cecil Field in his spare time. Herb Wilson is in the VF-1 "Wolfpack" in San Diego. Tina and Ted Miller along with kidsters Heidi, Charles, and Steven (?) will leave Charleston this Spring and head off to San Diego where Ted will get an XO slot on an SSN out of Ballast Point. Chip Jones is living in Virginia Beach and works for a local textile industry, Sandy thinks. Fozzy Miller is in VF-101 getting back in the saddle and will soon be the XO of VF-41. Prior to that, Fozzy was a White House fellow for President Bush where he leamed the Mother of All Secret Handshakes. (I'm really pushing the threshold of comedy with this "Mother of AU" stuff, huh gang?) Foz, by the way, is a two year, deep selected Commander, much deserved for his TARPS mission development over Lebanon in '83 and '84.

Several times the TARPS info saved our hynies in HMM-261 from flying over "not good" places in Lebanon during that time period. Mark Seaman is the OpsO for VF-143 and is presently on board EISENHOWER. Mark's wife Sandi is keeping the home fires buming in Virginia Beach.

If you are a viewer in New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Baltimore, Birmingham, Ala., or Jackson, Miss., you may already know; those are cities where Viacom has launched his new syndicated talk show. The Montel Williams Show.

Williams is an ex-naval intelligence officer tumed motivational speaker Recentiy, he has guest hosted local talk shows, winning a local Emmy for work on Denver's KCNC. "I'm bringing to the table every American's view," he says. "And I listen to people."

While not singling out Sally Jessy Raphael, Geraldo or The Oprah Winfrey Show, Williams, 35, says his show is different. He has featured male sexuality and parent-teen relationships, but won't touch teen-age mutant sex addicts.

"The way some entertain is an attempt to titillate the public's libido," William says. "I can entertain andtitillatethe intellect as well as the libido."

We wish Montel well, though he is doing well enough on his own! Congratulations. Keep up the great work.

A note carae in from Jon Eric Paris, who is currently doing the single parent routine out in sunny Califomia. How well 1 remember and can identify with the difficulties of handling a career and a child.

He and Jon Jr. are in China Lake, having left MCAS Cherry Point, N.C. back in '88. He is currently assigned to the A-6E Weapons System Support Activity (WSSA), where he works on designing, writing and testing software for the aircraft mission computers. He was involved with the A-12 before its demise. He is curtently the lead cockpit and displays design engineer for the A-6E Block-IA program. He also gets to test fly the A-6, F-18D and QF-4N. Jon gave an update on many Classraates. Russ Jones left Hawaii and the F-4 Phantom and completed TPS in December '90. He is stationed at PAX working on the F-18 program. Rod Von Lipsey and Jon were both deep selected for Major in 1990.

Rumor has it that Rod is leaving his F-18 squadron to be aide for General Powell on the JCS Staff. Bob Lonheis is working in New York on the Grumman 1 also saw Kevin Jackson in the hallways here at AX program proposal. This will be the replacement for the A-12. Unofficial word is that he now has 3 Strike U. but never had a chance to stop and talk.

Believe it or not, they keep you real busy here. Plan daughters. J. D. McMaster and family were seen in 'til you bleed, brief 'til you bleed and debrief 'til you El Toro. They have one son, Fletcher and are expectbleed, and oh by the way, we want you toflytoo. Ybu ing another baby late this year. ID. survived the postguys aren't buying this sob story, are you.

My due date for this column is 21 October, so unfortunately 1 do not have any Homecoming stories to pass on yet. But, stay tuned for next month, when I'll start recounting the tales of the weekend.

I deeply regret that it is my sad duty to report the loss of our Classmate, Dan Dewispelaere. Dan was killed in an A-6 aircraft mishap in Washington state on 14 October I do not have any details as yet, but will pass them on next month. Dan is survived by his wife, Marilyn and four children, Tim, Melanie, Dan Jr, and Nicholas. Dan was a super guy, and will be missed by all. Details to follow.

This was a very lean raonth for correspondence.

Only one letter found its way to this booming metropolis of the South. So, break out those Christmas cards and let Carol and me know what's going on. Tom Hoffman wrote from Kansas City, Mo. to inform us he is at Med school. Tora was an EP-3 NFO, and left the Navy in 1989. Tom and Sherry are expecting their first at the end of December Tom also passed on that Doug Weatherford is in Orlando with his wife, Karen, and is working for Disney.

Of course we're all recovering frora the after-effects of Navy losing to Air Force. Why, of all years to get blown out, did it have to be while we were here at Maxwell AFB? We had better BEAT ARMY. Well, as you can guess, 1 don't have anyraoresubstantial info for this month. However, I do want to pass on Carol, Torey and my very best wishes for a happy and healthy Holiday season to all. It was just a year ago that many of us were in the Gulf wishing to be home with family and loved ones. Our constant prayers and thoughts go out to you that have lost loved ones during this past year, and those who still have soraeone at sea or away frora home this year.

Until next month, keep your calls and letters coming in, and let's please BEAT ARMY!!!

so Allen's tough deployment schedule while he was aboard NIMITZ as CRA was no surprise. Since then, he's passed the Naval Reactors Engineer Exam, Professional Engineer exara and is now in Athens studying law at U. of G. (Patent Law) You'll be a very valuable commodity in the "real" world. Other First Company News: Paul Tuzzolo got married to Becky Soter Oct. 19. Eric was supposed to be at the wedding. "Tiizz" is now enjoying a shore tour in D.C. Randy Wolf is pursuing a MBA frora Wharton while commuting from China (work-study program).

What I'm gonna do now is copy a letter from Terry McElroy and two 16th Co. newsletters. Hopefully, this'll all fit into one article: I am still at MCAS New River, N.C. flying CH-53's for tiie Marine Corps with HHM-362. It was a long time coming, but I'mfinallya Captain!!

Me and my wife, Mary Miles '87, have a handsome I5-month-old son named Darrin Wright. Mary is a Marine Corps Supply Officer stationed at Camp Johnson (Camp Lejeune), N.C.

Bill Craig, who is still at Bediesda, and his wife, Eileen, had me over for dinner one evening. We had a great time, and I learned that Bill is quite a cook.

Bill is doing well and is about to leave for Charleston, where he will be working with a ComDesGra, if I remember correctly. Another friend of mine and Bill's was at dinner with us and the wives were mesmerized by the conversation. To say it was over my head is an understatement. Nonetheless, we all had fun, and it was good to spend time with Bill and Eileen.

Stephen Varani is back from the Persian Gulf. 1 knew that his ship was scheduled to retum and so I called his old number, only to get an unfamiliar answering machine. Being the investigative kind of guy that I am, I decided to call his parents to see if they had heard from him. Much to ray surprise, Stephen answered the phone. He came down a couple of days later We met at the Academy and roamed through town for awhile before having lunch at Riordan's. After that, we visited with the Farrell's for the rest of the evening. All in all, it was a great visit. Stephen is now back in Oak Harbor with a new phone number.

Look for it at the end. Welcome home, Stephen!

1 also received a letter from Mike Scheiern, the first from him since we began the newsletter It's good to have you aboard, Mike. He has been in the desert doing that Marine stuff. Mike's letter had sorae details from the war, but I'll wait until he gets horae to share the details frora his escapades out in CaUfomia. Stay in touch, Mike.

My only other letter was from Shawn Conroy. He is still in the Gulf, but should be back by Independence Day. He didn't send much news, except to say that he was on his way home. He even insinuated that he might buy my house in Jacksonville. That's easy to do after I've already sold it. Thanks anyway, Shawn.

Erik Adams is getting ready to move to Yakota, Japan, in July, where he will be joining his F-14 squadron. David Baca is still down in S . C on the "Gitmo;" Curt Dodges is with VAQ-33 down in Key West; Sal Giarrizzo is an NFO with VAW-125 in Oceana; Mark Green is with CEC in Beaufort, S . C ; Rusty Jackson is either in the Gulf or just recently retumed to El Toro. He is a helo pilot with HMM-161.

Eric Little should have just rotated to shore duty down in Charleston. He had been on LEWIS of the Texas sites; Tim MacKenzie is with VMA-533; Anthony Tom Judge (this comes from Bill Craig) is on his way to BuPers for shore duty; Ed Knapp is still a SEAL; Mike Morrissey is preparing for CivLant; Steve Shaw is too; Tom Tonan (and this old info) is a SWOS instructor at Coronado; Norm Weakland is on FORRESTAL with VFA-137; and finally, Spence Wade is somewhere in California. Spence, you're the only one we haven't heard from, so get in touch.

David Petri, as 1 mentioned in the last edition, got manied on 22 June 1991. His wife, Melanie, is a delight, and I'm sure you'll all love her the minute you meet her The ceremony was held at David's church in Virginia Beach. On the day of the wedding, a thunderstorm pounced on the area. Just before the cereraony was to begin, the power went out. So after a

rain delay of about fifteen minutes, they decided to go ahead and throw out the first pitch. (What a writer ara I!) The service began under candlelight. Everyone was in and seated, and then Melanie was escorted in. Just as she arrived at the altar by David, the power carae on and with it all of the lights. "Awesorae" is the only way to describe it. I guess it was God's way of adding his blessing. David and Melanie are now in Pensacola as he begins pilot training at Milton. Congratulations and good luck to you both! And Melanie, stay away from my toothbrush.

After I got back from Virginia Beach, I played my messages only to hear from David Baca. I called him back and found out some more good scoop. He and Kathy are now out of the Navy and living in Alexandria, Va., where they both are working in the Test and Evaluation section of GE Aerospace. David is laboring as an Engineer and Kathy as an analyst. Welcome to the area, David and Kathy. Call 521-5926 to invite rae to dinner Another new member to the D.C. area may soon be Sal Giarrizzo. I talked to hira while I was in Virginia Beach and he is looking at orders up here to work for the DIA. He has a new address which is on the same street where he used to live. Keep me informed of your movement, Sal. Shawn Conroy is back from the Persian Gulf.

And it looks like he will be living in Jacksonville for a lot longer He has received orders to VFA-106, the F/A-18 RAG there at NAS Cecil Field. Shawn was awarded three air medals for his exploits in the war, plus all of the miscellaneous NAM's and Navy Comra's that come with being a war hero. And that isn't the only big news frora the Conroy household.

Jenny is with child, preggo, bun in the oven . . .need 1 say more? TaUc about quick workâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Shawn has only been horae a month. Congrats to Shawn on fine set of orders and the coming event!

^ â&#x20AC;˘ p -pw-

Carl, Doug, and David at the Aliiiiini LMIIIC

Nick and Martha Diorio, happy newlyweds glories. Doug brought back about 50 Alumni from the Class of '39 to the Class of '91 for two games in new Alumni Hall (Bob Hope Performing Arts Center). Doug and Carl Liebert played for the victorious odd-yeared team in the second game of the evening.

Carl led all scorers of that game with 23 points and probably would have earned player of the game honors. Doug did his usual assist magic and had 12 points.

One of the many highlights of the evening, was the retum of David Robinson for the evening's festivities. David did not play, but provided moral support for the odd-yeared team. I think he signed about 2000 autographs that night along with a few dozen photographs. David's parents also made the trip from San Antonio. Brother Chuck is now a Second Classman and anxiously awaiting the upcoming basketball season. For those in the far away hills, David was named to the 1992 Olympic team and is also engaged, his fiancee's name is Valerie, and they're to be raarried next Summer [ed. A CBS "60 Minutes" crew was also at Alumni Halt shooting footage of Davidfor an upcoming story. Watch your TV schedule.]

Amy and Carl are expecting another little Hootie this coraing Spring. Jean and Bobby Misch were in attendance at the basketball game as well. Bobby is the Disbursing Officer at USNA. Again, thanks to Doug for a great evening. Everyone associated with Navy basketball, especially those of us who experience the best of Navy and NCAA basketball during our "four years together by the bay," truly appreciated the tremendous efforts made to pull the whole event together The long awaited letter from Nick Diorio arrived.

As you can see in his picture with wife Martha, he's looking pretty darn happy Nick had this say . . .

Martha and Nick were married 13 July Attending their wedding were Kathleen (Buckley) and Charlie Daniels, Stacy and Art Blanchard, Nancy and Mike 122

Clark, and Jill and Bill McKinley. Nick did his first sea tour with VF-31/CVW-6 at NAS Oceana as the Tactical Air Intelligence Officer He is currently serving as an instructor at Intel School in Dam Neck, Va., teaching in the counter-narcotics intelligence field.

25th Co. news . . . Sandy and Mike Starkey are living near NAS Lemoore where Mike flys with VFA-94 aboard LINCOLN. The Starkey's were married last April in Las Vegas. Kathleen and John Watson are new parents of a baby boy, Nicholas. John is completing his SERGRAD tour in Beeville and should be reporting to VF-101 at Oceana this month.

Nancy and Mike Clark live in Virginia Beach, where Mike serves on BAINBRIDGE. Stacy and Art Blanchard are in Groton. Art is assigned to a precom. Good nuke duty I guess. Mike Brooks is in Guara with VQ-1 and is supposedly getting some good assistance in his daily physical exercise. Kathleen and Charlie Daniels are both in Norfolk being "domestic." Both should be headed (hopefully) to Monterey next year for PG School. The Diorio's and Daniel's are a close foursome. And last but definitely not least; Beth and Jack Franchi are also new and proud parents of a boy. Jack Jr They are in San Diego, where Jack is on HARRY W HILL. Jack Jr's vocabulary has apparently started with "Yo" and "Whatchamacallit." Thanks Nick and Congrats!

More news from Okinawa and J. C. Milliman.

Jim Money has plans to raise Thailand's GNP (and his) after the Corps. J. C and Jim ran into each other at the Okinawa Camival. Ernie Swan survived his tour as aide to MGen. Ehlert and is back to fun, sun, and MC Supply. George Williams is still growing while at Kadena doing aviation supply with the First MAW. Jorge Esparza is at Carap Kinser with the Third FSSG. Kirk Fletcher is Supp(O) for the Third MEF and J. C wanted to thank Kirk for all his help with the Account Responsible Officers. Sounds like fun. J. C adds that his daughter now has a yellow belt in Karate, so those who mocked his car at school better be looking over their shoulder Did Dave Quint really sleep through PAO school?

On a serious note, we all pass on our love and prayers to Joe Vajgert's wife, Helen, in her battle with Lupus disease. We're thinking of you.

At the 21 September Navy football game, I ran into a bunch of '87 Classraates. Tom Doman was up frora Norfolk, where he's serving on GUADALCANAL with the grunts. They were a big part of Operation PROVIDE COMFORT in kaq/Turkey Tina (Ingold) Flood was at the game with husband Chris. She's working at Dahlgren, Va. in the boat shop. Chris flys Tomcats and is headed to Miramar soon. Dianna Farraday was busy helping with pregarae festivities as the Sup's Supp(O) before hooking up with Adrienne Marks for sorae tailgatin'. Susan (Williams) Simpson was tailgating with friends frora VP-9 along with her husband Kevin. Pete Kowenhoeven is working at the Navy Annex helping all of you aviators in the aviation bonus shop. Pete squeezes in some work between his very busy social schedule. Denny Richards was gatin' as well over by the "Hut." He passed along that Lisa and Greg Stefanon are getting married in Chicago on 28 September It sounded like there would be quite a few '87 raembers in attendence. I'll try to get the details to you. Jud Vonkolnitz and Andy York were among many seen wandering around the stadiura during the game. News also had Dave Sewall at University of Maryland studying for a raaster's in history before teaching at USNA. Update on Chuck Kramer, he'll be headed to the Eng. Dept on CONSTELLATION in the near future vice

Thomas, bom in June, has added lots of joy and excitement to Tora and Jodi's lives. Jodi added some news on others in 29th Co. and their current statiis . . .

Alicia and Jeff Colwell, with son Jeremy, are in Boston thanks to the Marine Corps. Jeff is at law school (B.C. or B.U., 1 not sure) courtesy of the Corps law education program. Stacey and Greg Harris are Pensacola bound, where Greg is headed back toflightschool. Carolyn and Mike Sheerin live in Jacksonville, N.C. MUce is a Cobra pilot for the Corps. Chris Hodges is in Japan serving as director of Supply Services. Sounds like he's enjoying the Far East. Jill and Bill Howe are residing in Norfolk these days. Bill is deployed on WASP. The Howe's are expecting a new family member in March.

Dale Anderson sent some iraportant news recently. Back on 20 July, Janet and Dale Anderson were raarried in Huntington Beach, Calif.

Well, we didn't beat Air Force this year, but what a great season for tailgaters. At the Navy-Zoomie garae, I ran into more familiar faces from days past.

Mike Herron was sportin' a good looking Marine hairdo while up visiting Tom Murphy. Packy is supposedly working in the Admissions Office. Tom Keane and Jason Cronin were up frora Pax River where theyflysearch-and-rescue. Jason was accompanied by wife Debby. Ted Mills was passing through town on his way to San Diego/North Island to fly with VS-41. A good place to go after being a Pensacola resident for a long time. And of course, Doug Wojcik, Bobby Misch, and Denny Richards were there to contemplate the future of Navy athletics.

Denny passed along that Greg Stefanon's wedding was a great time.

And finally as I end this month's colurrm, last breaking news from Adrienne Marks adds that Diana Farraday is now engaged to David Foster, a helo bubba in San Diego. There wedding is set for Halloween 1992. Congrats.

Received a lengthy letter from Mike Good and his beautiful wife Christine. As many of you know they were married last November MUce is hanging out Shipmate, December 1991

down in Charleston but still road-trips to Washington, D.C. where he is a starter on the CAPS. Talk about living a fuU life! Mike and Christine have managed to work in a few NAVY FOOTBALL games and have yet to be disappointed. Of course they too are disappointed that thefieldis no longer blessed by our own number "4" but few Classes are gifted with such an athlete. The Goods', and they are the goods, have been traveling around the nation prior to Mike leaving for a vacation in the Persian Gulf. Mike can't wait to go and we wish him the best of luck. Christine will bear his absence by working hard at the hospital in Charleston, she is a registered nurse.

Speaking of medicine, Chris Tranquill just completed his Med-School studies this fall and is starting his residency next Spring. Congrats to Chris for graduating second in his class. That is quite an accomplishment for a guy who had trouble attending boreus-all lectures at school.

Recieved a very spirited letter from some Aviators today. Bryan Cheeseman, Matt Tysler, Brian King, and Jon Stevenson. They are on top of die world and rightfully so.

Bill Dodge and wife write from Whidbey Island to tell of the tremendous fun that they are having! Bill is flying A-6's and loves the countryside of Washington State. He and his wife Sharon just bought a house and a dog named Cory.

Received a letter from the hugest, strongest stud of '89, Matt Sturges. Being the extremely talented individual that he is, he is flying A-6's with Bill up in Washington State. He goes up all of the time but still manages to keep his 400# bench up to speed.

Remeraber Mark Sergi? Well Mark and the Big Fat Happy Navy Cat have moved in together in Jax. They both have the biggest guns in thefleetand are scheduled to have a new Class of ship named after their pipes. It looks like Sergi can still whoop Big Cat and Vit can whip the both of them combined.

Speaking of being whipped, Joey Vit got married over Thanksgiving week-end. It was a gala affair and Diane Vitelli was a vision in white. Tom Hare stepped in for a guest appearance but was missed when Elvis carae to perforra . . . could it be that. . . no, no way. Wedding bells could be on the horizon for Tom. Seems he has met his match both on and off the court. Although Tom's outside game is weak he is a threat inside the paint. Tom just puts his head down and goes for the net. Best of luck to Diane, Joey Vit, and Matilda.

Received a letter from LCol. (Ret.) Nicholas J. LaDuca Jr recently. He writes to inform us that his daughter, Michelle LaDuca, is overtuming new ground in the real Corps, the CEC! The LCol. sends us his best and we send him ours!

Scott Pappano was married to Kathryn Haley, a Classmate of his while attending M.l.T Congratiilations to the both of you! They stole away to St. Lucia for their honeymoon and then its back to the books.

Katie is a beautiful, blond-haired, green-eyed, tish school teacher, and most recently, scoial worker!

Sounds like a match made in heaven.

The Pappanos Well that would conclude the '89 column for this month but for the bi-monthly ruining of the Brandeens'. I think that we will cut thera some slack this month. We are lucky to have a pair of identical twins in our Class who humor us well and have a great sense of humor In all seriousness both are making tremendous strides in the Supply Corps. Doug obtained his Supply SWO Pin in record time after reporting to the ship. He is cunently residing in Pacific Beach, Calif, with his beautiful wife Barbara. Dave has reported to his ship and has integrated harmoniously into his wardroom. Dave is also a DISBO and is on the threshold of obtainment of his Pin. We give Doug and Dave a hard time in our articles but they are dear friends and we are fortunate to have graduated with them.

Jim Chatfield and Rene Henricksen left on cruise last month and lets remeraber them and all of our other comrades in arms as we celebrate Christmas and the New Year. Many of you have spent the holiShipraate, December 1991

days overseas already and know what it's like not to have family and loved ones close at hand. Of course Coff always has loved ones close at hand but many of us aren't afforded the talents that he has been blessed with.

Taylor Bennett and 1 have been broken up now for about three months. After living with him day in and day out for two years 1 can barely cope without his country # $ % . We'll be re-united soon enough! Miss you Tay! Brian Greeley is in rare form and got raarried the second I left town. That is right! 1 leave for one day and he is in love, makes me ill.

Jeff Chatfield, the writer for the Class of '91 is living near by in Pacific Beach. Want to catch some further entertainment take a gander at one of his works.

Jeff is finishing up school and will be reporting to his ship soon.

FPO New York 09586-1512 Hey foUcs! I'm back again, after a couple of months being busy. Will try to keep that frora happening too often, however, the side affect of the column's absence was that quite a few folks wrote in concemed that 1 was not getting enough mail (which I wasn't), so we now have lots of news to pass on to everyone from '90.

Jim Foster writes from PAUL F FOSTER, which fired forty Tomahawks in the Persian Gulf War, and is now in drydock in Long Beach. He had word on Aaron Cadena who's the ASWO in INGRAHAM which played a large part in the Philippine evacuation operation after the volcanic eruptions.

Larry Martin wrote the following letter widi enclosed photo: Last December. Rick McCartney. Brian Garrison, Scot Roza and myself graduated with masters degrees from the University of Maryland. From there, Brian went on to P-Cola for NFO training while the rest of us continued on to Oriando for Nuclear Power School.

On 29 December 1990.1 was married to Jennifer Johnson of Annapolis in the Chapel. Swordbearers came from all comers of the country to join us and included: Rick McCartney. Janelle Buck, Scott Bonney, Tom Sanchez, Kurt Eglseder, Jeff Shipmate, December 1991

Rick McCartney, Janelle Buck, Scott Bonney, Tom Sanchez, Jenna and Larry, Kurt Eglseder, Jeff Lund, Tanya Worthy, and Duane Sand Lund, Tanya Worthy and Duane Sand. Rick and Kurt are currently enjoying life aboard the floating prototype in Charleston. Janelle is continuing her P-3 flight training in sunny Califomia; Scott just graduated from steam school in Newport and was motivated in reporting to an LHA in Norfolk; Tanya is enjoying the beaches in Bermuda and Tom is forging his way through the pilot program and selected helos. Duane is enjoying a one hour bus ride each way at the Idaho Falls Prototype. Jeff was married on 10 August to the former Ann Rolfson of Annapolis. Whitney Kemmey and I were swordbearers for the joyous event. Monique and Greg Archbold were also married this Summer in Utah. My best goes out to both sets of newly-weds. I ran across Steve Amiaga last weekend. He's loving life aboard a new Tico Class Cruiser in Norfolk. I am currentiy stationed at the SIC Prototype in Windsor, Conn.

Other '90 grads with me include Eyo Ita (who is amazing all the staff by multiplying ten digit numbers in his head). Scott Roza. who eamed top sub honors in Orlando, Brian Tauzer, and John Burns.

Next letter is from James Carroll: Paul Cannon, Mike Devaux, Jeff Renwick, John Doran and I are all down here in Kingsville assigned to VT-23 toflyjets. There are some delays, so most of us will start flying the T-2C in Nov. and Dec. We are all really pumped to have gotten jets and don't care how long we have to wait. Up in Corpus Christi, a bunch of other Classmates are in the Prop pipeline, flying the T-44 including: Stacy Whitehead, Mike Riffice, John Prendergast, Kay Ott, and Kay Tortorecci. Most of them are about six months away from getting their Wings.

Back in P-Cola. some 26th Co. boys are just about to finish primary in the T-34C and choose their pipeline, including: Al Holtslander (just recently married former Megan Wolfinger), Pat Sanders and Darrin Guillory.

Letter from Glenn Weinstein: Four Classmates and I got our NFO Wings on October 3 at Mather AFB in Sacramento following the P-3 pipeline: Vic Caruso, VP-1. Barbers Pt., Hawaii; Todd Hastie, VP-40. Moffett Field, Calif.; Vince Panella, VP-5, Jacksonville, Fla.; Mark Jordan, VPU-1, Branswick, Maine; and Glenn Weinstein, VP-10, Branswick, Maine.

We're all headed for the RAG starting November 4 and should hit our squadrons in April 92.

On the wedding front, Todd Hastie is tying the knot November 9 in the Chapel to Allison Murtay.

I'm marrying Mary Malecki there on 29 March 92.

Mark Jordan is engaged and Dan Tejada is getting married 14 December in Annapolis to a girl he met while at prototype. He's headed for a sub out of Pearl Harbor.

Received a very nice letter from Jamie Engdahl's wife, Sonna:

Jamie and I are happily residing in P-cola with a bunch of other '90 grads. In the NFO pipeline, the Navy has finally gotten its new jet, the T-39 and things seem to be ranning smoothly. Jamie, Rob Wojcik, Dan Frost and Everette "Roach" Rochon have just begun ground school in VT-86. Everette chose S-3s, and Jamie, Rob, Dan and Van Emery all got EA-6BS. Everyone except Van had quite a bit of time in the pool and were assigned jobs around the base. Jamie and I went to Annapolis where he did some work for the Aerospace department. It was a wonderful time. Graduation was especially great with General Swartzskopfs (USMA '56) inspiring speech. He is the hero America so desperately needed. Admiral Hill gave his final graduation speech and there wasn't a person in the stands without a tear in the eye. I know no one will ever forget Admiral and Mrs. Hill's admiration and devotion to the Naval Academy and the Midshipmen in particular. The whole ceremony was very touching.

In the pilot pipeline. Nick Shaffer, Keith Branner and Andy Devine are in VT-6. Craig Laws and Dan Cook are in VT-2. Mike Byrd and Gene Malveaux selected helos. I ran into Jerry Wallace in Corpus Christi. He looked great and was awaiting his September wedding. Brian Keith, Rob Pritchard, Bob Sofge (editor's note: who's that?), Wade Reinthaler and Brian Cavanaugh are in the area and all seem to being doing great. Jamie and I were finally able to dig up good old Eric "Otis" Anderson. He's now in Long Beach and will be taking a detour into San Diego before going off to Japan. He is now in charge of 41 enlisted men.

Romance is high here in P-Cola. Rob Wojcik married Eileen in March. Nick Shaffer married Gretchen in July. Van Emery just took leave to spend time with an old time sweetheart who's bought him clothes and cooked him some decent meals. Maybe a woman around the house isn't so bad after all! Craig Laws seems to have a new love.

Dan Cook is still burning up the highway to Atianta to see his sweetheart Kim. Well, since my husband doesn't approve of my gossiping, I suppose I will quit while I'm not in too much trouble! Before closing, I have one question: John Carriglitto, where are you!

Yo! Jamie, leave Sonna alone and let her fill us in on all the garbage! Thanks for the great letter, Sonna!

Next up, Jim Forrester with a letter dated back to 20 July. Sorry I've taken so long to get this out, Jim: After graduating from nuclear power school with Class 9102. I headed up to Annapolis to marry off Margaret and Mark Behning on 21 May. John McGrath and Aaron Bartlett were in attendance as well. A week later. I started prototype in North Charleston wiUi Mark Watkins. Ed Sanville. Mike O'Brian. Bob Bunger. John Drews, Rich Wells.

James Barney, and Jack Blalock. June 29 was Craig Schwartz marrying girfriend Wendy in Dun-

Dave Mitchell isreceivingbeaucoup bucks in per diem at the ESSEX precom unit in San Diego. Craig and Wendy are residing in P-Cola.

Ty Fallender and Jon Fishback passed through the Naval Weapons Station on PHILIPPINE SEA to do an ordnance transfer. Duncan Owen is stationed here in Charleston and has recentiy departed for a six montii UNITAS craise.

Okay folks! Time to start the unfortunate process of abbreviating the news from other letters. As I write this on a Saturday afternoon, the column is due to the editor on Monday moming!

Next letter was from Jim Newsome's wife, Karen; who were married at the Academy on 20 July. Jim is currently Commo on CONOLLY out of Norfolk. In attendance at their wedding were; Brian "Buzz" Park, who's "doing the pilot diing" down in Corpus; Kerry Hollenbeck, graduated from VT-10 and waiting on VT-86; and Lew Lewis, there along with Duane Cordrey, who had the honor of welcoming Karen into the Navy! Duane is DCA on BRISCO in Norfolk.

Rob Edwards was there with his April bride, Janetha. Rob is ELO aboard CONOLLY. Spark Simon sent me a letter on 8 August. He's up at New York prototype with Ron Surfield, Dave Colegrove (who's getting married as 1 write this on 19 October! Congrats, Dave!) Ralph Stewart, Chris Nelli, and Dave Bogner. Tom Feddo and some of the other guys are at another plant. Matt S. Polk is also there. Matt T. Polk is in CEC School. He and his wife, Anita, are stationed in Meridian, Miss, and are expecting a "Uttle PoUc" around January or February. Congrats and send pictures when the big event happens! Andy Gentry and Bob Frye are in Idaho.

Ray Berzins just reported to GRIDLEY (CG-22) in San Diego as B Division Officer Thanks for the letter. Spark! I'm not sure about playing hoops on a Spru-Can. (They can do anything according to Paul Valesky!) I'm on a REAL MAN'S ship! The mighty batdefiglette!And we don't have room for anything!

Next up is Mike Umstead who was at Strike Fighter Wings Atiantic, NAS Cecil Field, Fla. working in operations and maintenance departments when he wrote. He had been there since July '90 until supposedly starting AI 9 Septeraber John O'Brien and Tim Smeeten were also working out of squadrons at Cecil. John should have started AI on 26 August. Big aimouncement is about MUce's engagement to Miss Jennifer M. Shannon of Ponte Vedre Beach, Fla. They'U be raarried next 29 August at the Acaderay Chapel. Congrats!

Finally, a letter from Sheryl Ames Tannahil writing from Hawaii. Jim was on deployment when she sent the letter in August, but she's seen quite a bit of Dora Lockwood who's working at JicPac. Paige Fraughnaugh MacDonald and Stephanie Karasick are also out there on Ford Island. Kent Churchill is on LEFTWICH with Jim, and is still the swingin bachelor Brent Gregory is on CARL VINSON and contemplating the Mount Ranier challenge. Billy Castleberry visited in June and is bumming about being on the Atiantic vice Pacific coast. Alan Reyes and his wife, Jocelyn have arrived. Alan is the SUPPO (or is it DISBO?) on BIRMINGHAM. Bob Abel is back from his P-Gulf deployment and should be surprised by all the renovations done to the home he co-owns with Jim and Sheryl. Biggest change is yet to come in February when Sheryl and Jim add a new Baby Tannahil to the world's population! Congrats! Sheryl is still at CinCPacFlt and in charge of all the PacHt crypto keys and other CMS paraphernalia.

Better you than me, Sheryl. But she's loving life out there and having a great time. She and Jim extend an uivitation to everyone passing through the Islands.

Their number is (808) 625-6620! Thanks for writing Sheryl!

to laugh when he and I were trying to move a Lifecycle up through a hatch and pondering how far we had come in the one and a half years since throwing our covers in the air!

Final notes for this month! Thanks for writing in guys! Again, I'll work hard and try not to miss any more columns. We're in an SRA right now and upon completion of that in December, we'll start a hectic schedule of preparing for deployment in July to the P-Gulf. Keep the letters coming. Marines, where are you? Wow! I just thought of something! I think this is the Christmas addition! Meny Christmas everyone!

Have a safe New Year. Joe.

91 Mark and Margaret Behning

Craig and Wendy Schwartz

Newlyweds In an effort to keep everyone informed, I talked the Navy into letting me travel down to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to see who in our Class is down there!

What a guy! Anyhow, I found Kai Yeh in the O-Club mixing it up with all the ladies. Didn't really get a chance to have a long sit down chat with him because he was busy enjoying all the water sports, etc. available in paradise!? (John Vomdick, have you all ever thought about MAC flights down to GITMO during Spring Break for Scuba Quals? My friend and I were able to get PADI quaUfied and get some great dives in!)

Also down there was Hank Guy who's the ERO onboard COMPE DE GRASSE. They were going through the GITMO experience and seeraed to be having a wonderful tirae. Also walked in on Vince Cutosky downing a bowl of Spaghetti-Os or something on BRADLEY (FFG-49). He's down there doing Law Enforcement Operations. Back up in Newport, I ran into Jim Lawless who was the ERO aboard MILLER before she was decommed on 15 October We worked together because as MWR officer aboard MILLER, he was trying to get rid of a lot of their stuff.

And, as your friendly MWR officer aboard "SAMMY B.," I was more than ready to help him find a home for his more serviceable equipment. Had

While you celebrate Christmas with your families, remember the families of John Higginbotham (5), John Lonergan (13), and Jamie Lederer (24) in your prayers. Our three Classmates were killed in a tragic automobile accident driving from Newport to Annapolis for the Air Force game.

We dedicate this column to them.

John Higginbotham aka Higgs, Yamamato, and Buddah, came from Tacoma, Wash. He was the perfect "Fifth Company Slug." Never has anyone possessed such honest intentions and chronic bad luck.

Higgs would study all night for an exam then sleep through it the next moming. After two seasons of 150's, Higgs decided his athletic interests lie in company sports, in which he excelled. He was his mother's strength and guidance. We will remember his steadfast loyalty as well as his hard-nosed endurance. He was a true friend.

John Lonegran, LONNO, was a native Philadelphian and an only child. Several surgeries kept Loimo in whiteworks for much of his tirae at USNA, but he helped pitch his corapany to a brigade fast-pitch championship Youngster year. After forming the Delta Betas and eaming a Black N youngster year, Lonno realized that walking a straight line behooved hira (especially after Hick left USNA). It was then that his true leadership potential surfaced. Not that Lonno mellowed out; he simply sprouted another shining quality. We will reraeraber his great sense of humor through all situations and the respect he eamed.

Jamie Lederer came to the Academy from NAPS and to NAPS from thefleet.Everyone who knew him knew that he would retum to the fleet ready to do great things. A Kentuckian, Jamie displayed his many talents in Masqueraders and varsity volleyball.

Jamie was an outgoing, strong person who taught his Classmates with acute wisdom gained through experience. The most impressive thing about Jamie was tiiat he was steady and consistent, dependable and loyal. We will remember his die hard patriotism and his focus on success. He was a true motivator Part of the Christmas Holidays is giving thanks and caring for others. Spread some Christmas Joy to their families this holiday. Drop them a note and tell them you care.

Don't Miss an Issue of Shipmate!

Keep the Alumni Association Current on Address Changes Shipmate, December 1991

Chapter News ANNAPOLIS LCol. BUI Roll, USMC (Ret.) 18 College Avenue Annapolis, Md. 21401 The "Home" Chapter held its monthly meeting at the Officers and Faculty Club on October 9, the usual second Wednesday of the month.

An exceptionally large tum-out of over 100alumni, fanuly, faculty, associates, friends, parents, and guests were on hand to socialize, have an outstiuiding lunch, and to hear our Superintendent, RAchn. Tom Lynch '64, give a fine presentation on his assessment of, and hisfirstactions conceming the Naval Academy.

RAdm. Lynch first recounted sorae of his memories of previous tours at the Acaderay as a raidshipraan and dien in the Candidate Guidance Branch.

Mention was made of his basketball (?) prowess in the "NBA" (Noontime Basketball Association in Halsey Fieldhouse) while with Candidate Guidance.

He touched on the superb Gala Opening and Bob Hope Performing Arts Center dedication held in Alumni HaU on 4 and 5 October A short discourse on his and his CV Battle Group's involvement in their quick reaction to the invasion of Kuwait on 8 August 1990 lead into a summary of what he will instill in each midshipmen of the Brigade: Ship, Shipmate, and Self. His watchword is "positive leadership" frora top to bottom and "let's do things as they are done in the Heet." The Academy is facing several very challenging years and it will take the efforts of his staff and the Alumni to maintain exceUence in producing the finest officers for the Navy and the Marine Corps.

A spirited question and answer followed his adchess and all in attendance knew the Academy is in the most capable hands possible as we enter these years of challenge.

Of those attending, the Senior Class present was '25, represented by RAdm. Walter C Ford and Capt.

John H. Giffin. Several '91ers represented the Junior Class. The Class with the most representatives was '49, followed by a tie between '62, '67, '74, '80, and '83. Sixteen associate members were welcomed also.

The next event is the Annual Christmas Party, held at Alumni House from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pra, on 11 December Call 267-2391/2491 for reservations for this grand opening of the Holiday Season.

CHARLESTON W. J. Wagemaker 1398 Fairfield Ave. Charleston, S.C. 29407 Our first meeting this year was very enjoyable and enlightening with about 40 people attending. Many acquaintances and friendships were renewed with Classes from the 40's to the 80's represented. Capt. (sel) Robert Rish provided a very informative discussion on the NROTC program.

The next meeting was on 25 October with Rear Admiral Pearson, Comraander, Mine Warfare Command as our speaker Yes, it was Homecoraing Weekend, but those not in Annapolis shared "Boat School" stories with fellow Alumni/supporters.

Please take the time to mark the following dates on your calendar: Shipmate, December 1991

7 Dec—(Sat) ARMY-NAVY Game gathering at The Sports Bar on the naval base. It's the next best way of experiencing the victory if you can't be in Philadelphia. Bring an Army supporter along too!

15 Dec—(Sun) Christmas Alumni Social Gathering at RAdm. Kaup's Quarters (Quarters "A") on the Naval Base.

Times are changing and inflation hasfinallycaused us to raise our luncheon buffet price to $8.00. For those Alumni who have been able to attend the luncheons, the camaraderie has been worth twice that price!

CHICAGO John G. B. Howland 776 Pleasant Lane Glenview, 11. 60025 (708) 998-6688 Army-Navy football on 7 Deceraber They'll be playing the rubber match (again) at 42-42-7! Over the last several years this has become the biggest gathering of Army-Navy fans in the country outside of the stadium itself. Be part of it—plan on seeing all the action at the Park West Theatre at 322 W Arraitage (just west of Clark). Phone: (312) 929-5959.

A "no program" lunch was held at the Como Inn on Wednesday, 25 September In spite of short notice, six Chapter members showed up to just chew the fat and swap sea stories.

Topics getting thorough treatment included: the iraportance and significance to one's career of being able to reraeraber one's laundry number; women at the academies; color blindness or is there an altemative to "red right; retuming"?; implications of the RIF; the outlook for service schools over the next few years; and, finally, where is Ball State, really?

Salts on hand included Bill Croft '40; Dean French '50; Pete Schleck '59; Joel Febel '60; Wit Davis '80 and Pat Blake '81. If you spot Bill Croft whistling a happy tune, it'll no doubt be because he was the lucky winner of the door prize—a cassette tape of Navy songs.

Eleven Navy golfers and one guest made a fine showing in the First Annual Army-Navy Golf Tournament on 28 August. Against an army of 42 (count 'em!) West Point Society members, top honors among Annapolis Alumni were taken by Dick Gladding '47, who showed the steadiest hand on the putting green for the day. Landing closest to the pin on the front nine, Colin Mackenzie '77 also helped the showing for Navy in this inaugural event.

Our other shipmates on the course at NAS Glenview included: Jack Bailey '44; Roy Sandquist '44; Bob McCarthy '45; John Sivright '50; Joel Febel '60; Hal Anderson '64; Mark Meunzhuber '82; Linda Bolan '83 and guest LCdr. John Diring; and Greg Wilson '84.

This was one hot event both in terms of the enjoyment that our Alums experienced on the course and the temperatures in the 90's that day. Braving the heat to join the group for dinner were Mike Clawson '72 and Mike Reed '77. With plenty of good food and drink to go around this gathering of Acaderay graduates remained until dusk to award prizes, share stories and talk about how well they will shoot in next year's event.

Special thanks go to Mark Meunzhuber, Linda Bolan and MUce Reed for their assistance in making this event a successful one. Colin Mackenzie '77, vice president of the Chapter, pulled together all of the event's many activities. Thanks to their efforts and those of all the Army-Navy participants, the USO will receive a contribution of over $700.

COLUMBUS LCol. Ed Tipshus USMC (Ret.) 8315 Fairway Drive Worthington Hills, Ohio 43235 (614) 846-7700 H; 447-3695 W USNAAA COLUMBUS met on the second Wednesday of October frora 1830 to 2100 at a new location: the Hearth and Eagle Tavern on Rte. 315 one raile North of the 270 Outerbelt. We used their second floor banquet roora. This was the kick-off meeting for the 1991-1992 season, as raeetings were suspended for the months of June, July, August, and Septeraber Season dues are currently $10. We have been looking for a more accessible and convenient location rather than downtown Columbus. A social hour with heavy hors d'oeuvre and cash bar covered the first hour. Following was an excellent presentation by Art Friedman '51 on the Navy Junior ROTC program and unit which he has headed in the southera part of Columbus since 1971. It was an eye opener for many, as most were not aware of the program. In effect, Art covers two High Schools (Grove City and Franklin Heights—the only two eligible in Columbus). The program for the Navy (and AF) was instituted in the late 60's similar to the Array Junior ROTC prograra. Art has been in uniform since he first entered the service in 1945. A brief business meeting, treasurers report (Mike Tamny), and discussion on future speakers and activities followed.

We will not be at the Hearth & Eagle again until probably January of next year. Mike Hollraan '64 is substituting for Jira Rarasey '60 as Program Chairman for the remainder of this year. We tentatively plan an Italian Dinner (and Restaurant) meeting in November followed by the annual Army-Navy football garae extravaganza held jointly with the Woo Poo group that matriculated from up on the Hudson (it's their tum to do the arrangements, so we can't tell you exactly where, but if you call one of the numbers above (if home; after six, please) I'll be happy to let you know.

The evening meeting was concluded with a continuation of social activities and "war story" exchanges.

We were very happy to have 5 better-halfs with us on this occasion. Those who attended our eighth meeting were: George and Jean Gardes '42, Lem Lang '49, Art Friedman '51, Roy and Pat Girod '53, Tora Pettit '53, Jim and Babs Hill '54, Ed Tipshus '54, Mike Tamny '62, Andy and Jean Zagayko '62, Mike Hollman '64, Gerry and Darra Knott '66, and Dave Guza '78.

HAMPTON ROADS Tom Parsons Bob Byles 622-8261 The Hampton Roads Chapter gathered at NAS Oceana for its annual meeting on 9 October 1991 in order to elect its officers and board of directors for the upcoming fiscal year. The asserabled grads and their guests, a sraall but spirited mid-week crowd, were treated to a traditional Irish toast sung by Colleen McFeeley '90, the most recent grad. She must have leamed it from her father Tom '64, a former (not old) shipmate of this author. After dining on the usual sumptous O Club fare, the chapter said farewell and thanks to Don and Audre Cannell '53 for his efforts as President and her support of his efforts. Upon completion of Don's short "farewell to arras" address, he tumed the podium over to Jim Linder '49, nominating committee chairman, for the presentation of the slate of committed Alunmi who had stepped forward (well sort of) to lead the chapter over the next year. The following folks were elected unanimously: Officers 127

Tom Parsons '49 President Bob Byles '69 1st Vice President Don Trueblood '49 2nd Vice President Ron Kelly '50 Secretary Tony Franzitta '66 Treasurer Board of Directors: Don Cannell '53, Jim Cannon '56, George Chegin '75, Herb Crane '54, Jim DiNardo '50, Beetle Forbes '45, Jack Matheson '58, Jerry Miller '77, John Roberts '55, Jack Roulstone '46, and Henry Von Kolnitz '60.

National Trustee: Jim Linder '49.

With the business completed the diners were treated to an informative and timely presentation of the state of the Academy by RAdm. Virgil Hill '61 cunent COMOPTEVFOR and recent Superintendent. Frora Alurani Hall, to the successes of women midshipmen at and after USNA, to the "promised" win over Army, RAdm. Hill painted a picture of an institution that has not outlived its purpose (no matter the political-military climate at home or abroad) of providing Naval Leaders who are destined to be leaders wherever they go, or whatever they do, in life.

The next major Chapter event will be the ArmyNavy Game Victory Celebration on 7 December out at the 68th Street (Virginia Beach) Beach Club. It wiU be open to all local grads and their guests, yet lunited to the first 150 who sign up. Please call Bob Byles at 622-8261 for more inforraation.

NEWPORT Capt. Robert B. Connelly USN (Ret.) 169 America Way Jamestown, R.I. 02835 (401) 423-3474 Our Fall 1991 season started on 24 September with cocktails and dinner at the Officers Club NETC, Newport. Our Speaker and Guest of Honor was Capt.

Ward Clark, USN '64 who has just reported as Chairman of the Operations Department, US Naval War College. The Captain had served as Chief of Staff to the Battle Force Comraander on JOHN F. KENNEDY in the Red Sea during Desert Shield/Storm and it was that experience he talked about to an interested audience.

In the midst of downloading prior to going into the yard KENNEDY received five days notice in August 1990 to deploy. KENNEDY arrived in the Red Sea on 10 Septeraber, twenty days after leaving Norfolk.

The 700 mile arc of air operations from the Battle Group's position in the Red Sea included Baghdad and 2/3rds of Iraq. Navy aircraft from the three carriers in the Red Sea were tanked by the Air Force going and retuming on their 5-6 hourraissions.Integration with the Air Force in strikes and tanking was successful but took work, planning, and practice.

Ward said that Navy air was about 30% of air assets and had about the same percentage of total sorties.

Ward gave full credit to General Horner and his staff.

Prior to, and in addition to the air war the Battle Group stopped some 1200 ships entering and departing Aquaba and diverted those carrying contraband.

Capt. Clark concluded with a few personal observations. The first was that the officers and men and women of the All Volunteer Force performed with great distinction; they adapted readily to change, are bright and well motivated and exhibited a "great" cooperative attitude. The Logistics pipeline perforraed very well, aircraft parts were received in three days.

The Captain was emphatic in his praise of the Adrainistration's support of the military and of the President's management of Desert Shield/Storm.

Among those present were: Mena O'Connor (Des '35), Tim and Mary McCoy '39, Bud and Joan Woodson '42, Pieter Hinkamp '42, R B. and Winnie Wall '44 visiting from Pensacola, Beetle and Betty 128

Forbes '45 visiting frora Norfolk and guests of Chapter raembers Winnie Love and Jane Potter, Cal and Mick Callaway '45, Ken and Benny Lyons '46, Fred and Dorothy Stevenson '46, Wirt Thayer '47, Sumner and Jane Moore '48, Frank and Maggie Snyder '48, Roger Buck '50, Harry and Gordan Heneberger '51, Gordan and Leila Van Hook '51, Tom Lyons '52, Bob Connelly '52, Howard and Jane Burdick '58, George Brainerd '59, Dave Brown '62, Alex Daunis '63, Ward and Harriett Clark '64, Phil and Linda DeRose '77, Erik Chaum '77, Joe Fitzgerald '78, Eric and Betsy Sweigard '79, Buzz Sorce '81; Associates George Smith and Chris Christensen; West Pointer Tommy and Rachael Thompson USMA '36; and Merchant Mariner Charley and Norma Walther Your correspondent saved the price of a beverage; no one knew that Douglas MacArthur received Purple Heart serial #1 in 1932.

Thisraonthout-of-towners R B. Wall '44 and Beetle Forbes '45 joined us. We enjoy and appreciate new faces. Especially when they come up with good stories such as the one Beetle Forbes recounted about his recent visit to his First Wing Fourth Deck Midn 1/C room now occupied by three female Mids. Apparently Mids no longer have "wives."

all a good basis for starting various anecdotes, including a few truthful ones!

Wayne Harbarger '47 gave us a good report on his 45di Class reunion held at a tirae different from most reunions, thus making various Academy facilities readily available, for instance a dance held in Dahlgren Hall. Another good feahire was a gathering by corapany held on the Thursday preceding the big weekend events.

Frank Blake passed around a good letter of 9/19 which he had written to thank Cdr Christman for his talk to us in September Marion Logan '43 was applauded for remembering to bring her copy of REEF POINTS. After some discussion, it was agreed to have speakers about once each quarter, thus leaving us free for talking with each other at other times, soraething we all seem to enjoy. Scott Whitfield '81 is continuing to work on getting good speakers. We quickly reached a consensus to include non-Navy speakers, such as the very well received Bishop Quinn.

SAN FRANCISCO Jack Herlocker, '80 596 La Conner Drive # 3 Sunnyvale, Calif. 94087 (408) 749-0166 First Wednesday, September-June, NAS Alameda Officer's Club.

This is the report of ourfirstregular monthly meeting of the 1991-92 year, and myfirstreport as chapter secretary.

Fifty-one members and guests met at the NAS Alameda Officer's Club. Our speaker was LCdr. Vance Shipmate, December 1991

More, SC, USN, '78. LCdr. More recently rehiraed from Operation Desert Storm, where he was assigned tofieldprocurement and contracting. A good deal of the emphasis was on the field part of the job; Vance retumed with many slides of Kuwait and Iraq, taken shortly after the liberation of Kuwait. He also had a number of interesting stories (such as die time he and a friend were surprised by a pack of dogs, and took off mnning—straight into the fire of a nulitia post manned by some rather jumpy Kuwaitis. Fortunately no one was hurt) and some souvenirs (like an manual from a tank designed by die Soviets, manufactured in Poland, and sold to Iraq. The manual was in English.

The maintenance record that came with it had never been touched, which Vance pointed to as a demonstration of one of the reasons the Iraqi army folded so quickly).

Our most senior attendee was from the Class of '33; the most junior was Class of '85; the most numerous Class in attendance was Class of '65.

Since I have this space available in Shipmate, I thought I would take a moment to address any fellow Alumni and Alunmae who recently joined the civilian job market, or who are looking at being in that position soon, or who are Icxiking at being in that position again due to recent civilian layoffs.

One of the best networking resources you will run into out here in die "real world" is the local chapter of the Alurani Association. In the course of updating our Chapter roster, I'm seeing some members in very senior positions. These are people who can, quite Uterally, talk to you Wednesday lught, interview you the next day, and make you a job offer before the weekend. Or who can point you to someone else with the same power If you are like me, you will be very uncomfortable with the idea of simply walking into a Chapter meeting and talking about how you need a job. This is not a problem, for a couple reasons: First, the older Alumni realize that if soraeone raany years from retirement age walks in, you are not doing it because you can't find enough interesting foUcs your own age to keep you amused. One of thefirstthings they will ask you is what you are doing, and what your plans are. Secondly, we read the same articles and btxiks that caused you to leaf back to the local chapter news to find out when the next meeting is. We realize that the Alumni Association is a prime source for networking, and we'll be happy to help however we can.

You are not imposing; think what an ego boost it is for us if we help you land a job. Bring a rSsura^ or two; leave diera in the car, but be ready to go get one if the occasion calls for it.

The San Francisco chapter meets thefirstWednesday night of every month, from September through June. The bar opens at 1830, widi dinner starting at 1915. Give me a call at the nuraber listed above to make reservations. Spouses are welcome; nearly half of our attendees bring company. Dress is usually coat and tie, but that is subject to change; ask rae when you make a reservation.

1 can't speak for the other chapters, but the S.E group is a great bunch; I would never have agreed to become secretary if 1 didn't enjoy the monthly dinners. You might be surprised and have a very nice time.

This is the report of our second regular monthly meeting of the 1991-92 year.

Forty-one members and guests met at the NAS Alameda Officer's Club. Our speaker was Patrick J. Ryan of die Port of Oakland. Mr. Ryan taUced on the airport, maritime, and real estate problems of the Port of Oakland. It was interesting, as the problems that the Port of Oakland has frequently are of the "damned if you do, damned if you don't" variety.

Should they try to persuade the State to allow more water to flow down the Sacramento River, thereby helping their dredging problem? Or argue the water should go to agriculture, thereby making sure that

there is enough agricultural exports that there is a reason to dredge.

Attendance was hghter than usual due to several snafus, not the least of which was a new Chapter secretary who had no idea how slow bulk mail is. As a result, not everyone got their notices in time. A week after the meeting—sixteen days after the notices went in to the mail—I was still getting caUs from rather irritated Alumni. What's the old Navy saying about "learning experiences"?

Our December meeting will be a bit unusual, as we will not be at the Alameda Officers Club, nor wiU we meet on the first Wednesday of the month. Instead we'U be in San Francisco on December 7 to watch the Army-Navy game, in a joint affair with our sister USMA chapter The place will be an estabUshment called Hannos, of which no one seems to know very much—the Woops picked it out. Details wiU be forthcoming in the notice (which will be on time— really!); or call me at the number listed above.

SPACE COAST Capt. Joe Steckler USN (Ret.) 154 Lantemback Island Dr. Satellite Beach, Ha. 32937 As of this writing—21 October—we can report two fine events.

At our October meeting at Sweetwaters Restaurant in Melboume, Fla. we had the following attendees: Hank and Dorothy Amold '36, Tom and Kate Blake '49, Howie and June Blura '45, Stu and Winnie Bowcock '45, Bob and Liz Brand '44, Fred Byers '82, George Caimes '35, Ray and Trish Chamberlain '47, Cliff and Lacy Clifford '48, Paul Crosley '25, Jim and Ginny Ferguson '46, Ray Harrell '27, Jack and Nancy Hart '53, John and Mae Heintz '44, Dick Jeffrey '39, Peny and Terry Johnson '42, Frank and Anne Keith '47, Jack and Billie McCollum '40, Ken McLaren '23, Tom and Gene Murphy '39, Ed Peresluha, Dutch and Betty Spanagel '53, Ted and Donna Speaker '50, Joe Steckler '58, Betty Sullivan '27, Charlie and Belle Taylor '43, Ken and Kitty Wallace '43, Jira and Carolyn Ward '69, Sara and Iris Watson '43, Ruth Wildman '19, Bill Young '58.

Now that our "snowbirds" are migrating South we expect to see our attendance rates increase. We have an open invitation to all who visit our area the third weekend of the month. We can always welcome you at one of our "events" so if you are in the area give me a call at 773-2635. We like to see newcomers.

For several months we have been working our list of USNA grads in our area. We continue to find names not on our Ust and the best part of it all is finding those who "want to be found." This is still the best fratemity/sorority in the world so share your friendship with others. The Space Coast welcomes you to our area.

Don't Miss an Issue of Shipmate!

Limited Issue 7500 Created Exclusively for U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association, Inc

The limited edition plate of the Naval Academy Chapel is being hand painted on Bavarian China by the Wilhelm Schwemmlein Porxcellan Manufacktur of Bayreuth West Germany exclusively for the Alumni Association.

Because each plate is being hand painted, it can be said that no two plates will be alike. The plate should have a special meaning for alumni. This plate is not being offered to the general public, therefore, plate collectors will value this plate at a higher value

than the offering price to you. The plates will be numbered consecutively. The Alumni Association will be given all drawings and materials used by the factory to insure that no other plates will be made. Allow four months for delivery. Orders will be accepted until all editions are sold. See convenient gift list and order form in this issue of Shipmate.
