BRIGADE, SEATS! The Naval Academy Cookbook

NAVAl ACADEMY RECIPEI from cookbook ce/ebrifV

by Karen Gibson

^Annapolis

Diet

Brigade, Seats! is not only a collection of favorite recipes from the U.S. Naval Academy but a celebration of its rich traditional heritage. First published in 1984, this volume has been thoroughly revised and updated. Menus, including 282 all-new recipes (mostly serving 8 but occasionally 4,000), are featured for every significant event in a midshipman's four-year career at the Academy. Everything from plebe summer picnic and a football tailgate party to the Ring Dance bonquet and superintendent's garden party ore showcased here, and the traditions behind them are fondly described.

Trained at Le Cordon Bleu and La Varenne in Paris, Karen Gibson made headlines when she went to the Nova! Academy in 1980 and revamped the dietary program for the midshipmen, creating new recipes and instructing the cooks of King Hall. In this book she gives a firsthand look at the mindboggling problems involved in feeding a crowd of 4,000 plus ond at the social activities that have been part of Academy culture since the early days.

Which all goes to prove, I suppose, that one can be either well trained, untrained, or overtrained.

The Power of Prayer Shipmate: A not uncommon problem encountered in the Wardroom is the lack of tone and decorum of the mess. On the larger ships, particularly on tenders, salty language and stories can gradually become the norm. Once established, such a pattern is quite difficult to change. Arbitrary edicts of "Thou shalt not" will probably provide a temporary solution but such edicts, dictating behavior, have undesirable side effects. It would be a much better solution if the members changed the tone and decorum on their own volition.

I had occasion to experience the foregoing problem as Exec of a submarine tender and as such was automatically the President of the Wardroom Mess. During the relieving period at the noon meal the lack of acceptable decorum was quite apparent and obviously had prevailed for a considerable period of time. As a result, I was determined to give high priority to rectifying the situation when I became the Exec. I mulled over various options with no success.

However, the problem was solved very quickly and almost accidentally at my first seating as President of the Wardroom. The solution came to me at dinner at home the night before. We always say grace before meals at home, so, as I said grace at home the thought occurred that here might be a solution.

The next day at my first noon meal in the mess I made a few remarks covering my pleasure at being aboard and President of the Mess.

I said that I considered the ship my home away from home and would like to institute the practice of saying grace before meals as I did at home. Further, and this was the zinger that I hoped would help turn the mess around voluntarily. I would call on each officer at the head table, starting on my right, to say the grace at subsequent meals.

I could see from the expressions on the faces of some of the officers at the head table that a shock wave had been generated. The power of prayer took over and the decorum of the mess improved greatly and forthwith. However, I found out later that there was quite a bit of wagering going on as to whether or not a particular officer could generate a prayer. The ChapShipmate, October 1993

lain was most enthused about the new way of life and supplied some of the golden words of grace for the more salty members of the mess.

Leading High Schools at the Academy Shipmate: I recently read in your July-August edition of Shipmate that Western-Ellington High School in Washington, D.C., believed they held the record for the most Naval Academy graduates from a public high school. I think Baltimore Polytechnic Institute (BPI) could compete with any public school in the United States for the number of Naval Academy graduates. BPI, commonly referred to as Poly, had for many years in the early 20th century a principal. Lieutenant King, who was a Naval Academy graduate. As a result of his being a graduate, he arranged with the Naval Academy that any graduate of the advance college preparatory course at Poly could enter the Naval Academy without taking the academic examination. This privilege was extended to A Course students by other institutions such as MIT, Cornell, Duke and Georgia Tech where A Course graduates could enter as sophomores and skip their freshman year.

In my 1953 graduating class of 214 students at Poly there were eight graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy in the Classes of '57 and '58.

Class members of '57 are: John S. Heyde, Jr.,

Gary Alkire, Burt Benjes, John Gilstrap and Richard Nace. Class members of '58 are: Nils Rueckert, Phil Muerer and John Price.

I hope this adds a little competition for the claim of providing the most graduates to the Naval Academy from public institutes.

Shipmate, October 1993

Spartan, Dartin', BARTON Rear Admiral Francis D. Foley USN (Ret.)

"Now hear this . . . this is your Captain speaking . . . all hands not on Watch or manning a battle station topsides, get below decks and stay there. Anyone topsides must be wearing a life jacket. I'm going to open this baby up to full power. Anyone who falls over the side, that's your tough luck because we are not turning back to pick you up. We have been ordered to the rescue of a planeload of Marines from Guadalcanal down on a reef hundreds of miles from here. They have priority . . . that is all . . .carry on.". . . "ALL ENGINES AHEAD . . . FULL!" Those emphatic orders were issued by LCdr. Douglas M. Fox, USN '26, Commanding Officer of USS BARTON ( D D - 5 9 9 ) , an escort in TF-16 which had lost HORNET (CV-8) two days previously, 26 Oct. 1942, at the Battle of Santa Cruz. TF-16 was replenishing and regrouping east of the New Hebrides, avoiding, "Torpedo Junction" by a wide margin. There were 235 of us HORNET survivors aboard BARTON who

could not be accommodated in the oiler she had just been alongside because the latter was already chock-a-block with other survivors.

BARTON withdrew at high speed to carry out her rescue mission.

We survivors more than doubled the size of the ship's company and had already been assisting our new-found friends in BARTON, turning to wherever we could to help, from the bridge to after-stearing. My Classmate LCdr. Herbert Coleman, USN '32, was the Exec. He and I, as senior line survivor on board, had quickly come to agreement on organizational measures and, since many of my gang were engineering personnel, watch-standing below decks was eased for the destroyer sailors. Soon, they even trusted us! "Doug" Fox made me feel welcome on the bridge while "Herbie" shared his room and clothes with me. All hands were to feel even more united by the challenge in store for us.

The Marine air transport was reportedly down on Le Fabre Island, located on D'Enrecasteaux Reef which stretches several hundred miles to the northwest of New Caledonia.

Le Fabre was approximately 300 miles to the southwest of the TF-16 replenishment renShinmate. October 1993

dezvous, by rhumb-line. However, both, the New Hebrides Islands and the formidable French Reef intervened, necessitating a circuitous passage around navigational obstacles. Speed was reduced at nightfall when it became obvious that Le Fabre could not be reached during daylight. Meanwhile, word was received that the downed plane was 60 miles south of the position originally given and that, additionally, there were two PBY's down at sea, drifting westward from the corrected location! Time permitted a sweep of the most likely area, but the Catalinas were not located. BARTON therefore worked her way back to the reef at daylight, by which time several multi-engine aircraft appeared overhead trying to help. An Army bomber actually guided BARTON to her objective. To our surprise, we found that the downed Marine plane had been joined by another aircraft, a Patrol Squadron ELEVEN PBY, which had apparently run aground on a coral head during an unsuccessful rescue attempt.

We had our hands full, but fortunately there were no casualties.

The two downed planes were clearly visible, close together, near the northern end of a large lagoon, with all hands clustered on their wings.

They were about 3,000 yards from the closest point of the ship's approach to the western side of the Reef. An easterly wind of some 30 kts prevailed, the reef creating a limited lee from both wind and sea. Two motor-whaleboats were launched, but the depth of water, angrily sloshing over the perimeter crannies, was in-

sufficient to permit entry into the lagoon. A young BARTON officer. Ens. James R Sommers, USN '42, somehow managed to worm his way through with a line which he passed to a plane crewman in the lagoon to permit ferrying by rubber boat. This worked briefly until the line parted. The second motor-whaleboat under another very determined BARTON officer, Lt. John G. Downing, USN '35, used a line-throwing gun (with it's last cartridge, all others having been expended several days before rescuing struggling HORNET swimmers!).

The second line held, permitting painstaking ferrying of all remaining stranded, one-by-one, via rubber boat out through the perimeter of the Reef to the first MWB, then around coral heads to the second, closer to the ship. Seventeen survivors of the Marine Corps plane, including LCol. Randolph McC. Pate who went on to be Commandant (1956-60) who had been marooned for ten days, plus the eight-man crew of the PBY, were brought aboard BARTON where they were examined by the ship's doctor and Cdr. Emil J. Stelter, MC USN, Medical Officer of HORNET.

With boats recovered. BARTON was westbound by 1530, again at high speed, guided by another VP-11 PBY overhead to their squadron mates some 70 miles away, their drift slowed by sea anchors. We reached them at 1800. Although seemingly intact, both planes had suffered structural damage and were not safe to fly. The wind remained at about 30 kts. with seas very rough and white-capped. Having recently completed three years duty in PBY's, I spent my time on BARTON'S bridge conferring with "Doug" Fox until he asked me to go to the fantail and council crewmen. They were obviously unfamiliar with seaplanes and minus much gear as fending-off poles to avoid damage to tender skin. A towing bollard on a plane immediately astern had already carried away and rigging a reliable substitute bridle was questionable at best. The other Catalina had sufficient fuel to taxi about 300 miles, well short of the nearest base at Noumea. The skipper wisely left the decision on "what do" up to the two Patrol Plane Commanders themselves.

Reluctantly, they decided to "abandon ship" in 11

view of the over-all situation. Of course this also relieved the obvious submarine risk to BARTON, with almost 500 men on board, had she been involved in escorting and/or towing damaged aircraft through rough seas for several days. Both plane crews were taken aboard the ship, carefully safeguarding their prized code books and Norden bombsights, as had their squadron mates on the reef. I winced at the thought, but agreed to putting the two PBY5's down by gunfire. BARTON was off again, this time for Noumea.

Upon arrival in port my HORNET contingent was trucked by night up to our ship's rest camp already established in the low hills beyond the city. Needless to say, the arrival of 235 "missing-in-action" shipmates evoked a rousing cheer from all hands already there. I reported to my skipper, Capt. Charles P Mason, USN ' 12, and handed over to him a roster of my gang plus a carefully preserved teletype script of all information passed from Air Plot to HORNET'S squadron Ready Rooms in connection with the Battle of Santa Cruz, to round out

military discipline, there is a much smaller emphasis than I expected, and the entire atmosphere is a marked difference from USNA; no "Noon Meal" formations, no P-rades, no Plebe Rates, no chow calls. Liberty starts after class at 1615, and classes end at noon on Friday to allow the students to drive home and beat the heavy German autobahn traffic. There is a broad mix of background and experience among the students; one year of military (or 15 months of civil) service is mandatory for all male Germans, but these officer candidates have already volunteered up to four to 12 years of service in order to attend the university. The present class, who began their service approximately one year after the reunification of Germany, includes the first officer candidates of East German background. There are even a few former East German officers who are undergoing a two-year trial program to integrate them directly into the Bundesmarine. This can lead to some unusual situations; in my presentations about the U.S. Navy, I usually ask if any of the students has had experience with the Americans —usually one or two has visited Annapolis or a USS. Navy ship—in order to perhaps get a different perspective. Therefore I was somewhat surprised when a lieutenant whom I knew to be of the former East German navy, or "Volksmarine" raised his hand. "Yes," he said, "I have experienced a different perspective of the U.S. Navy—my ship followed USS IOWA for three weeks!"

Training facilities include afleetof sailboats, including four yachts of 12 meters and one of 25 meters, a state of the art computerized shiphandling simulator, and a planetarium. The "Sportschule" boasts three gymnasiums and two tracks, as well as various other training facilities. Several hours during the school week are devoted to sports, but there are no "school" teams as such. The students are very interested in American sports—I have even given a few football and baseball "chalk Talks" as one of my collateral duties. Kind of scary, when you 13

think that I got a "C" in golf as a Firstie!

The beautiful red brick gothic architectural style gives the Marineschule a profile which is as memorable to the German officer as that of the Chapel dome to the former Mid Monuments and reminders of the German Navy's history are everywhere: the Historical Collection, housed in the recently renovated Kommandeur (Superintendant's) House contains memorabilia from all four epochs of the German Navy; the quarters where Admiral Koenitz oversaw the final three weeks of the Third Reich now serve as student lodging. A stone memorial marks the spot where Kapitaen-sur-See (Captain) Lueth, former U-Boat ace and Kommandant of the Marineschule, was mistakenly shot to death by his own guard in the tumultuous period following the second World War. All this stands against the background of a small but very capable navy faced with force reductions and budget cuts which have the same effect on morale as in the U. S. Navy, and in a society where the military does not enjoy quite the prestigious image or degree of public acceptance of its American counterpart.

Most of the commands in the area will be transferred in the next few years as the German navy gets smaller and expands to cover the newly acquired coastline of former East Germany, but the Marineschule will stay. Last year marked the 30th anniversary of the German/ American Navy Personnel Exchange Program (PEP). RAdm. Niemann, the Kommandeur of the Marineschule, recently became one of the few to visit Annapolis. There he quoted Adm. Arleigh Burke, former U.S. Chief of Naval Operations, as having said, "I don't care what they teach or what else they do, I just want an American Officer standing in front of German midshipmen and a German officer standing in front of American Midshipmen, so everyone can see we're in the same boat." With the rapidly changing face of the European Community and defense strategy, this is an especially interesting time to be here and "see how they do it" as well as witness the effects of these changes firsthand on an institution which represents to the federal German Navy what Annapolis represents to the United States; the formulative stage of the next generation of Naval Officers.

Shipmate, October 1993

Captain Relieves Pilot Captain Edward E. Conrad, USN (Ret.)

Toward the end of a two-year Washington tour at the AEC in 1959 the BuPers detail officer ordered me to a deep-draft command, USS ROCKBRIDGE (APA-228), which at the time was on a Med deployment along with the other five ships of PhibRon SIX. The squadron consisted of two APAs, two LSDs and two LSTs. I relieved in San Remo on 18 August and reported by message to my Immediate Superior in Command (ISC), ComPhibRon SIX, Capt.

John W. Howard, with an info copy to ComSixthFlt, soon to be relieved by VAdmiral George W Anderson, Jr., later the Chief of Naval Operations. Don Clay relieved Jack Howard in a few months.

ROCKBRIDGE was one of the 112 Victory-class

amphibious personnel assault ships (APA-128 to APA-259) that were in the 1944-1945 naval construction program planned to support amphibious landings in both the European and Pacific theaters till the then unknown end of WWII. Her particulars were: Displacement: 12,450 tons Dimensions: 455'loa x 62' x 24' (max.)

Guns: One 5", Twelve 40-mm AA Troop capacity: 1500 Debarkation: Cargo nets rigged over side from gunwale Landing craft: 2 LCMs (Mikes), 22 LCVPs (Pappas) Machinery: Geared turbines, 2 boilers SHP: 8,500 = 17 knots Propeller: Single right-hand ROCKBRIDGE was a good and happy ship manned by capable officers and crew with a record of which all hands were proud. At the time of my relieving she wore the coveted "E" with two hash marks, indicating that she had been awarded the "E" (best ship in her squadron) during each of the three preceding years.

Squadron amphibious practice landings of embarked marines and R-and-R port visits were scheduled by ComSixthFlt. We enjoyed the practice landings and eagerly looked forward to the port visits which followed. The latter varied inasmuch as some were made by a single ship while others were made by two or three squadron ships in company.

Toward the end of October we were ordered to visit Marseilles for a few days to enjoy the pleasures of France's major Mediterranean port

Shipmate, October 1993

and its environs in Provence. I had not been to Marseilles since visits there in my first ship, USS OMAHA (CL-4), as a new ensign during monthly calls to fuel and provision ship in 1938-1939. It so happened that I reported to OMAHA in Marseilles on 18 July 1938. OMAHA always anchored off Marseilles and never moored alongside.

The Marseilles port authorities assigned ROCKBRIDGE to berths 115 and 116 on the outer mole of Pinede Basin, starboard-side-to. We arrived off the entrance on the morning of I November under ideal weather conditionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; clear sky, calm sea and negligible windâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and made preparations for entering port, including the standard practice of lowering both anchors to the water's edge and making them "ready for letting go."

The pilot boarded, took the conn and proceeded inbound, entering by way of the Northern Fore Port. His orders to the helm after entry were course orders, which somewhat bothered me in close waters where I preferred to conn the vessel by helm orders, i.e., right five degrees rudder, rudder amidships, left ten degrees rudder, et cetera, always knowing where the rudder is. I did not mention my concern to the pilot. His tug took position on the port bow with a hawser passed through our bullnose. As customary, the captain stood close by the pilot, hearing his orders and following his conning procedures with attention.

As we proceeded from the Northern Fore Port to the Leon Gourret Basin I mentioned to the pilot that our speed was a little more than necessary, but he assured me that it was all right and I acceded to his preferred speed.

We proceeded through President Wilson Basin and then, as we were about to enter Pinede Basin in which our berth was spotted, the pilot ordered "one-third astern." At that time the helmsman, endeavoring to steer the ordered course, had the helm to right giving the ship a right swinging momentum which was immediately increased by the backing bell. The captain noted that a merchant ship was moored starboard-side-to in berths 117 and 118, and we were swinging directly toward her with collision imminent. The captain relieved the pilot and ordered "full astern, let go both anchors."

He ordered the pilot to have his tug pull the bow to port.

It was an "all-or-nothing" situation. Either we arrest the ship's forward motion or we collide with the moored merchantman. Even though "full astern" would increase our swing to the right and more directly toward the center of the merchantman, the full backing, along with dropping both anchors, arrested our forward motion in time to avoid colliding with the innocent merchantmen. A near-incident almost became an incident. It was indeed fortunate that the adjective "near" remained before "incident."

The anchor detail, under Boatswain's Mate First Class James Buss, acting immediately in response to their orders, let both anchors go, set up on the windlass brakes, and then, under Buss's orders, cleared the immediate area to protect themselves from imminent danger.

The engineroom personnel, particularly the throttleman, responded immediately to the backing bell, increasing the backing turns to full and reduced, jointly with the action of the anchor detail, the ship's forwarded momentum to zero.

When the way through the water was stopped we heaved around on both anchors, the tug pulled our bow to port and ROCKBRIDGE proceeded to her berth which was just ahead of the moored merchant vessel.

We are reminded that the captain is always responsible for the safety of his vessel. Responsibility rests with the captain, not with the pilot who is an "advisor" to the captain based upon his local knowledge. The captain may and should relieve the pilot whenever he feels that his vessel is in danger, except in the Panama Canal where by law he is not allowed to relieve the pilot.

What saved the day? Having both anchors at the water's edge "ready for letting go," the prompt action by the anchor detail in letting go and the immediate response to "full astern" by the engineroom personnel.

What caused the vessel to be placed in imminent danger? More ship speed than was necessary and steering by course orders rather than by rudder orders in close waters.

Respect for the backing action of a single 15

right-hand propeller, i.e., swinging the bow to starboard and the stern to port, must always be uppermost in the mind of a conning officer.

The captain subsequently recalled that his naval seagoing career started in Marseilles in 1938 and probably would have ended there 21 years later if the captain had not relieved the pilot.

ROCKBRIDGE received her fourth "E" after my year aboard, followed by her fifth successive "E" after my successor's year in command.

Five successive "Es" are represented by a Gold "E" which was presented to the ship's personnel in a Norfolk ceremony at which three other captains and the writer had the honor to be present. The five captains who had command during the Gold "E" years were: John V. Smith, Philip F Hauck, Wilbur H. Cheney, Jr., the writer and Charles D. McCall. All officers and crew who had served or were then serving in the Gold "E" ship were proud. Other ships may have earned a Gold "E" but I never heard of any.

Jim Buss later visited me in the Pentagon, retired from the Navy as a Chief Boatswain's Mate, and was attached to the Maine Maritime Academy when I joined the academy in 1969.

When I first saw him then, I asked, "Jim, do you remember Marseilles?" He immediately responded, "I sure do. Captain." We are both retired from MM A, but still see each other from time to time and always talk, as old shipmates and friends, about Gold "E" ROCKBRIDGE.

Shipmate, October 1993

Brothers Under the Skin Rear Admiral Joseph B. Tibbetts USN (Ret.)

In 1930 three sets of brothers divided to enter West Point and Annapolis in the Class of 1934, one to each Academy. They were Duke and Pat McEntee, Hudson and Frank Upham, Gene and Joe Tibbets. Frank and I are the only ones still alive and kicking. Since each one enjoyed a full career, I asked the Class Secretaries to give me a brief rundown for each.

Pat and Duke McEntee were Army brats from a long line of Army forbears but Pat broke the chain and joined the Navy. He came to Crabtown and spent a year with us before being turned back into '35. Those who knew him hated to see him leave us but our loss was '35's gain. Pat spent his active duty years before and during the war in cruisers, working up through the departments to Gunnery Officer in ATLANTA'S fierce 1942 night surface action off Guadalcanal and in SAN FRANCISCO for the 1944 occupation of Saipan and Tinian. In 1944 he was ordered to the Naval Academy and served there until retired physically for diabetes in 1946. In his civilian career he worked for various industries concerned with national defense and lastly as purchasing agent for the Washington National Cathedral. Cdr. Gerard Lindsley McEntee III USN (Ret.) died on 23 August 1972 after a long illness. Pat's wife, Betty, sister of Tom South USNA '34, died on 19 April 1978 and is buried with Pat in Arlington.

Pat's brother. Ducat ("Duke") McEntee, was named for their grandfather. Col. Arthur C. Ducat USMA 1879. His life and Pat's had a number of unusual similarities. Duke also turned back to '35 at the end of his Plebe Year and, like Pat, was an outstanding student and cadet leader. Upon graduation Duke chose Infantry and started upon a militarily brilliant career. He was an airborne pioneer and rose quickly in rank, becoming an airborne regimental commander in the rank of colonel by 1943. He was forced to accept retirement in 1946 when, like Pat, his diabetic condition became prominent. In spite of his illness Duke had a happy and successful civilian career. He worked for the CIA and the Federal Services Finance Corp. before entering banking and rising to Vice President of the Bank of Fort Knox, Shipmate, October 1993

Kentucky. It was there that Duke's illness caused him to lose control of his automobile in a crash that resulted in his death. Col. Ducat McEntee USA (Ret.) died on 18 October 1970 and is buried in the West Point Cemetery.

Frank and Hudson Upham, sons of Col. J. S. Upham USMA '03, like the McEntees, grew up as typical Army brats attending many schools, including Western High in Washington and Central High in Puerto Rico. Hudson Upham was an excellent student, managing to catch up to Frank even though two years younger. After graduation Hudson earned his wings at Randolphfieldand was assigned to the 73rd Attack Squadron. An aircraft accident led to hospitalization at Letterman Hospital, where he met his future wife, Nancy Moore. He was then ordered to Quebec to study French and on to West Point as an instructor. After regaining his wings in 1944 he went to the 8th Air Force as CO 308th Bomb Group, which included duty with three heavy bombardment groups and flying secret missions dropping agents into Germany. For this duty he was awarded the US Air Medal, British DEC and French Criox de Guerre with Palm. In 1946 Hudson was assigned to the European Air Transport Service in Weisbaden, Germany. On 1 November, on a night flight from Naples to England in a B-17, Colonel Hudson Hutton Upham USAAC and his crew were killed by crashing into Mont Blanc. The wreckage was not found until the following summer. All eight crew members are buried in a common grave in Arlington.

In 1930, my brother Gene and Ifinishedtwo years of preping and trying for appointments by Gene making West Point and I Annapolis.

Gene was a good student and strong in athletics. He was captain of his company and a real lacrosse nut, playing all four years and captaining the team his First Class Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;when our Naval Academy Classmate Tom Truxtun, Army captain in 1937, was playing on the Plebe Team. After graduation and a year in the infantry Gene was detailed to the Army Air Corps, earning his wings in 1936 with assignment to the 7th Bombardment Group. In 1940 he was sent to Brazil as a member of the Military Mission and in 1942 was assigned as Deputy Chief

of Staff for the newly formed South Atlantic Command at Recife. 1 well remember taking my PBY squadron to Brazil in January 1943 and being met at Natal by Gene, he a colonel and I still a lieutenant. After a full career of operational and diplomatic assignments Gene retired in 1964 and moved with his wife, Jan, to Torremolinos in Spain. Colonel Gene Huggins Tibbetts USAF (Ret.) died of cancer in 1966 and is buried in Arlington.

Frank Upham and I are hanging in there, happily wondering why we aren't being obited too.

Frank spent hisfirsttwo years in TENNESSEE (BB-43). He and I earned our Wings together in 1937. He went to RANGER as a fighter pilot for two years. Our paths crossed again in 1940.

After he spent a year as aviation observer in SAN FRANCISCO (CA-38) while I did likewise in COLORADO (BB-45) we were in ParRon 52 in the Caribbean and Brazil from 1940 to 1943.

Frank then did a year as CO Utility Squadron 4 at Norfolk. He then commanded VF-91 in WASP (CV-18) and later was ComAirGrp 4 in ESSEX (CV-9) all in the Pacific.

After the war he commanded AirGrp 98 at Los Alamitos, was Ops O for ComCarDiv 2, on the staff of ComAirPac at Pearl. During the Korean War, he was Exec of TARAWA. He did a Joint Staff tour in Newfoundland followed by command of PRINCETON (CV-37). He did a tour in Washington with DCNO (Air) before commanding N AS Corpus Christi prior to retiring in 1964.

He Married Virginia Staunton in 1964 and they live in Coronado.

Myfirstassignment was LEXINGTON (CV-2). I went to Pensacola to get my Wings and returned to LEXINGTON as a bomber pilot. While I was in Patron 52, the squadron once sank three U-boats in a ten-day period. Subsequently, I spent a year in Washington on CNO staff. I finally got to the Pacific as navigator of HANCOCK (CV-19).

After the war, it was a series of staff jobs, ashore and afloat, CNO, CinPac, London and Lisbon. After attending the Naval War College, I commanded a carrier and a CarDiv. I commanded Fleet Air Quonset before retiring in 17

are as close as the nearest phone and are looking forward to getting together with everyone else at the 60th in Annapolis.

It is strange that three sets of brothers separated and went to different Service Academies in the same year. The reasons would be an interesting study in itself. However, the fact brought the six of us closer to a realization that.

1973 the last of '34 to do so.

My first wife, Margaret died in 1968. My second wife, Billie, died in 1986.1 remarried to Alberta Davis in 1988 and we live in Melbourne, Florida.

Virginia and Frank watch sunsets over the Pacific from Coronado while we watch the sun rise over the Atlantic from Melbourne, but we

Shipmate, October 1993

She Was Reluctant to Go Lieutenant Kirk R. Benson. USN

While serving in MONTEREY (CG-61) as Fire Control Officer, we were operating with the AMERICA Battle Group in the North Puerto Rican Operating Areas in preparation for our upcoming Mediterranean Deployment. I was standing a relatively quiet Mid Watch (00-04) as Tactical Action Officer (TAO), so I looked ahead at the Schedule of Events (SOE) to plan for the "full plate" of activities ahead of us over the upcoming days at sea.

I noticed we had scheduled a "SINKEX" involving the ex-USS RUSHMORE (LSD-14). This was the first SINKEX I had encountered in my short career, but I was able to put two and two together to realize the CX-RUSHMORE was about to meet her final resting place.

The thought of sinking an old Navy ship really had me thinking. It was ironic to me that I was on a ship that was at the beginning of her life, and we were about to end the life of another ship that held so many memories and provided so much experience and training to people I had never even met.

The following evening, we were assigned station in the area surrounding "the hulk" (as she was being called). When we arrived on station, it was after dark, so all that could be seen was the silhouette of a large ship with a white light attached for safety purposes. We stayed in the vicinity of the hulk throughout the night, ensuring the hulk would not pose a navigational hazard to any traffic in the area.

The next morning I had the Rev Watch (0408). I instructed the 0.0.D. to notify me when it became light enough topside to see the hulk.

About 0500 I went up to the Pilot House and caught my first glimpse of the CX-RUSHMORE. What a sight she was. It looked like a Navy ship. I'm not sure what I expected . . . I guess I expected a "hulk." She was mastless, but besides that, she was in relatively good shape.

I stood on the Starboard Bridge Wing for a good ten to fifteen minutes just staring at this ship. She was so devoid of life. It was eerie. I had visions of what a great ship I am sure she was. I thought about her commissioning ceremony so many years ago. I thought about the officers and men who served with her. I thought about the contributions this ship provided to the Shipmate, October 1993

defense of our beloved nation. Then I thought about what would be happening in just a few hours, and what her fate would be for the rest of eternity.

I had to wonder about my ship, MONTEREY. At the time, she was not even three years old, but I knew she would not last forever What would be the fate of this ship that I was serving on in thirty or forty years? Would some young naval officer, not even born yet, in the year 2033 be standing on the bridge wing of his ship thinking about the contributions of this obsolete "hulk," the ex-MoNTEREY? My thoughts turned back to the hulk. I knew nothing about this ship prior to the previous evening. I had never even heard of her in fact.

Now I was about to take part in ending her life.

This feeling I experienced was like one I never had before. All I could think of were all the memories and experiences this ship gave so many people, some who still may be in the Navy today.

I headed back down to Combat and sat at the TAO Console. Track 1276 labeled "HULK" was on the Large Screen Displays. We continued our east-west legs back and forth staying within 4000 yards of the hulk, as directed in the Captain's Night Orders.

Later that afternoon, the day of 28 April 1993, we commenced the first phase of the SINKEX. The Battle Group was in position at a safe distance from the hulk, and a coordinated Harpoon Missile Attack was launched. The preparations were many for the crew of MONTEREY, for this missile shoot had long been awaited. It was not every day that we got to fire a Harpoon Missile, and it was an event culminating literally months of training.

I viewed the launch from the Helicopter Hangar. What a beautiful sight it was to see that missile leave her canister. Everything went according to plan and deemed a success. The F-14 chase plane roared overhead and out of sight.

Direct hit! The cheers were deafening. The crew of MONTEREY was ecstatic about the report received from the Tomcat. Later we learned that the hulk had received numerous direct hits from the various launch platforms of the Battle Group. The hulk would be gone now.

or so we thought. The Tomcat passed word that she wasn't going down. She wasn't even taking on water. How could this be? How could a ship take so many missiles hits and not go down?

She was a fighter.

The Battle Group Commander directed us to investigate. The Battle Group formed in a column and proceeded to the hulk. As she came in view over the horizon, she looked like she had earlier that morning. The column passed her at 500 yards, almost like a "Pass in Review" and we could see the openings in the hull left by the missiles. She was taking on some water, but not a lot. It was like she was holding on to life.

Dusk was approaching, so the Battle Group dispersed and waited for further direction. It was decided that if she hadn't gone down by the next morning, the Carrier Air Wing would get a little target practice.

The morning of 29 April 1993 brought news of the hulk stillfloatingas the day before. What was it going to take to bring this ship down?

The aviators were anxious and the air attack began. The strikes were many, as we observed from Combat. The training received was unmatched. A couple hours passed, and the hulk was still afloat. Was it time to give up on the impossible?

MONTEREY was directed to proceed toward the hulk and finish the job with guns. The Gunners Mates were excited, as it was not often they got the chance to shoot at real ships. It took us a couple hours to get into the vicinity of the hulk, and as we came into visual range, she was already bow down and going under fast.

We did not shoot one round. At 1203 (Q) on 29 April 1993 at position: 20 deg 15.45 min. North 064 deg. 50.75 min. West she was gone. We would never see RUSHMORE again. She had contributed to the training of the fleet until the very end.

The ship was gone, but the memories remained. Not only my memory of a ship that was considered just a "hulk" but more importantly, the memories of literally thousands of people over the years who experienced the life of RUSHMORE (LSD-14), the ship that was reluctant to go.

Memorial In July a new engineering center at the Port Hueneme Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center was named after the late VAdm. Robert L. Waters USN (Ret.) '49.

Pay Raise In spite of the President's recommendation for a pay freeze.

Congress approved a 2.2% increase in military pay for 1994. Congress will decide later whether to follow the President's plan for FY-95 through 97 calling for military pay raises which would be 1.5 percentage points below the private sector wage increase, as measured by the Labor Department's Employment Cost Index.

COLA Congress also modified the President's plan for retired pay cost of living adjustments as follows: Military retirees will receive COLA on 1 April 1994 and on 1 October for FY-95 through 98, returning to I January in 1999. Federal civilian retirees will receive COLA on 1 April for FY-94 through 96.

Base Closures My September article failed to report that the Base Closure Commission decided to keep Naval Hospital Charleston open contrary to SecDef closure recommendation.

Ship Sponsors Two ships, whose sponsors are wives of Alumni, were christened recently: USS TOLEDO (SSN-769), christened 28 Julysponsor, Sabra Smith, wife of Adm. William D. Smith USN '55; and USS ROBIN ( M H C - 5 4 ) , christened 11 September-sponsor, Hope Kihune, wife of VAdm. Robert K. U. Kihune USN '59.

Homosexual Policy In July the President announced a new policy on homosexuals in the military, which will take effect on 1 October 1993.

20

The following are the key provisions of this policy: • Accession Policy: Applicants for military service will no longer be asked or required to say if they are homosexual or bisexual, but applicants will be informed of the conduct that is proscribed for members of the armed forces, including homosexual conduct.

• Discharge Policy: The military will discharge members who engage in homosexual conduct, which is defined as a homosexual act, a statement that the member is homosexual or bisexual, or a marriage or attempted marriage to someone of the same gender.

• Investigations Policy: No investigations or inquiries will be conducted solely to determine a service member's sexual orientation.

Commanders will initiate investigations when there is credible evidence that a basis for discharge or disciplinary action exists. An allegation or statement by another that a service member is a homosexual, alone, is not grounds for an investigation.

• Activities: Bodily contact between service members of the same sex that a reasonable person would understand to demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual acts (e.g., handholding or kissing in most circumstances) will be sufficient to initiate separation. Activities such as association with known homosexuals, presence at a gay bar, possessing homosexual publications, or marching in a gay rights rally will not in and of themselves, provide a basis for initiating an investigation or serve as a basis for an administrative discharge.

• Off-Base Conduct: No distinction will be made between off-base and on-base conduct. Unacceptable conduct, homosexual or heterosexual, is not excused because the service member is not "at work."

Congress is taking action to enact the above policy into law as part of the FY-94 Defense Authorization Bill.

Commissaries A study conducted by the Defense Commissary Agency in October '92 revealed an averge 23.4% savings between military commissaries and private sector groceries. In October '91 the savings was 23.2%.

Travel Attire The Navy and Marine Corps now permit military personnel to wear civilian clothes in USAF Air Mobility Command (AMC) commercial charter aircraft, while the Navy also allows "civvies" in AMC military aircraft, unless orders specify that personnel travel in uniform. Rules require that attire be clean, neat and of comparable style to military uniform.

Agent Orange After an 18-month study, the National Academy of Sciences concluded that five ailments can be linked to exposure to Agent Orange, a defoliant herbicide used extensively during the Vietnam War, as follows: • Soft tissue sarcoma • Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma • Chloracne (a severe skin disease) • Hodgkins Disease • Porphyria Cutanea Tarda (a metabolic liver disorder that can affect skin and hair) The first three of the above had previously been linked to Agent Orange and the VA pays disability compensation to Vietnam veterans with those ailments. The VA will now compensate veterans for the latter two ailments.

15 year Retirement Under the Temporary Early Retirement Authority (TERA) enacted by Congress in 1992, during FY-94 the Navy will separate up to 2,000 personnel with between 15 and 20 years of service.

This early retirement will be mandatory for LCdrs twice passed-over for promotion. Nurse Corps Lts previously continued on active duty Shipmate, October 1993

and personnel on permanent limited duty with less than 30% disability.

Those eligible for TERA on a voluntary basis include: Chief Warrant Officers with between 17 and 20 years of service, once passed-over LCdrs (with some exceptions, such as doctors and dentists), Cdrs with 2 years time-in-grade (with some exceptions), and Senior and Master Chief Petty Officers with between 17 and 20 years of service in certain skill areas. Early retirement pay will be computed by reducing the 20 year retired pay percentage by one twelfth of one percent for each full month by which the number of months of active service is less than 240. Fifteen year retirement authority expires in September 1995.

Whether TERA will be offered again in FY-94 will depend on reduction requirements, retention, funding and other factors.

Overseas Rent For personnel living overseas without families in private or leased housing, the maximum overseas rent reimbursed by the government has been increased from 80% of the "with dependents"

rent ceiling to 90%.

Tax Refund Based on a Supreme Court ruling that it is unconstitutional for a state to tax the pensions of retired military and federal civilian employees when it exempts the pensions of retired state employees from income tax, Arizona will refund previously paid taxes to 44,500 military and federal retirees. For more information, contact the Arizona Department of Revenue, 1600 West Monroe Street, Phoenix, Ariz.

85007 or call (602) 542-5555.

Vets Bonus West Virginia is offering cash bonuses from $300 to $1,000 to state veterans or their survivors for service in the Persian Gulf, Panama, Grenada and Lebanon during times of crises in the past decade.

To apply applicants should contact Mitchell Shupp, Bonus Program Director, West Virginia Division of Veteran Affairs, 1339 A Plaza East, Charleston, WV 25301-1400 or call (304) 558-1520.

BRIGADE AcnvrriES Midn. Elliot S. Avidan '94

It is with no small of amount of trepidation that I take pen to paper (figuratively, of course) for this first column of "Brigade Activities."

There are many questions I have about how to fill in all of you on the various and sundry happenings in The Hall but there is one thing that I would like to promise the readers now.

I view this as your link to the Brigade. As long as you have that link, then are never really that far away. With that in mind, if there are certain questions you have about any particular policy changes, Yard happenings, or sports (excepting Varsity sports), I would be happy to answer them in this column, space permitting.

That said, let me start at the beginning. Plebe Summer officially ended last week with Bravo Company (Third and Fourth Company during the Academic year) winning Color Company for the Summer. As far as Intramural sports go for the Class of 1997, November Company won the Basketball championship, Mike took Soccer, and Sierra rounds out the list of winners with their Regimental victory in Volleyball.

There really is no standings yet for Academic Year Intramurals as I write but I will give detailed standings in the next column.

Women's Tennis is looking for a good year. Their two top returning singles players, Patti Restrepo and Hillary Nagi are Youngsters with three more years to improve their skills for Navy Tennis. First Class Midshipmen Renee Delhierro and Jennifer Lane will provide the experience necessary to run a successful team. Remembering back to last year, the ladies took Division 1 George Mason down 5-4, with a doubles victory clinching the upset. Look for great things from Navy Tennis this year!

As far as policy changes and initiatives go, this year brings many new ideas to the Brigade, from above and below. The reveille policy that my predecessor, Kelly Eubanks '93, wrote about remains in force, much to the daily chagrin of many sleepy Mids. Another new policy Shipmate, October 1993

that has many a Mid groaning concerns weekends. Any upperclass on weekend who returns to the Hall must remain until the next formation before going out again. Enforcement of this may be difficult but the Commandant has said he is looking for the upperclass to set the example for the Fourth Class on this issue.

Setting the example is heavily emphasized in the new Plebe Developmental System, the successor to the Plebe Indoctrination System. For example, it is now dictated in CSORM (the replacement for Mid Regs) that upperclass do pushups with Plebes, though that has been the unwritten rule for some time.

Company and Battalion officers will all be sitting in on the same Naval Leadership classes that the Midshipmen take, so that the leadership taught in Luce Hall and that practiced in Bancroft more closely correspond.

Earlier I mentioned changes from above and below. The changes from below come with the Strategic Plan and further implementation of Dr. Deming's Total Quality Leadership. With the issue of the first update of the Strategic Plan, the Administration held lectures for the Brigade to help them better understand what the future holds, and how they can help effect change. PATS, or Process Action Teams, of Mids will be polling their Classmates again this year with the data going to Quality Management Boards for evaluation and action. I hope to write some more about TQL and the Strategic Plan each month, as more information comes out and I gain a greater familiarity with the topic.

Before I close, I would like to give my best wishes and express my heartfelt gratitude to Lieutenants Fred Sheehy of the "Black Shoes, Black Heart" gang on VELLA GULF ( C G - 7 3 ) and Joel Todd Davidson '90, late of PEGASUS ( P H M - 1 ) for all that they did to help a Mid on cruise. See you guys at Army-Navy. Until next month, BEAT ARMY!

A Few Inches From The Yard Midn. Mark Christenson '94

Well I feel like I've finally returned to where I belong. Here it is the middle of August and I'm back with all my friends at the Academy.

Yesterday was the Return of the Brigade and my room right now looks like a tornado hit it. But that is the way the whole Academy looks at this moment. Over three thousand Midshipmen have gravitated back from the four comers of the globe and it takes some time for us all to settle in for another year.

These first few days back at the Academy seem like a cross between summer camp and a family reunion. Everywhere you see friends: in King Hall, at lectures, or just talking on the walkways that connect the wings of Bancroft to each other. The Hall is filled with Mids tossing a football or playing the Brigade's favorite card game, spades. After talking with my peers I realize the variations in each of our cruises shows just how far we all went this summer. One friend arrived in Alameda, Calif., and immediately boarded ABRAHAM LINCOLN to find out he was getting underway for twenty-two days enroute to Hong Kong. Another spent two full months in the Med on part of a normal deployment.

A third has pictures of snow on the deck of CONSTELLATION near Cape Horn.

What always amazes me is how far some of us have to travel to return to the Academy. These return voyages of the Brigade to Annapolis remind me of a modern day Odyssey. Midshipmen arrive from as far as California, the Mediterranean, and Hong Kong in preparation for another year. As far as the fleet ranges so Midshipmen return. However, whether they travel from Hong Kong, Haifa, or Patagonia, the Navy always returns everyone in time for the start of classes.

The toughest part of coming back (for me) is always the realization that the summer is over. The end to the beach season and the final weeks of baseball season never fail to remind of the work that lies ahead. Looking back over the past summer, however, I have a lot to be happy about.

One of the best things that happened this summer occurred in Newport, R.I. I had a chance to see my brother John '81 since I was on cruise and he was going to the XO school there. In Newport we drove by the church my parents were married in and by the house they lived in fifteen years before I was born. For my family, the Navy has been more than just my father's job, it has defined who we are. It has been the backdrop to our lives. It was nice to share some time with my brother at an unexpected time and place. Perhaps the next time we cross paths while in the Navy will be on Diego Garcia or in Dubai. Whatever the case, it's exciting to think our paths will continue to cross as we progress as members of two different generations in one Navy.

In retrospect, perhaps the best thing about this final summer happened at home when I wasn't even there. When my YP tied up in Boston thefirstthing I did was call my parents at home. Theyfilledme in (as they have for four years) on what has been going on with my family and my hometown. At the end of the conversation my mother mentioned that two of my friends had stopped by my house for a few minutes to simply say hello. After talking with my girlfriend, she mentioned that those same friends had also seen her and they had gone out a couple of times. Two of my best friends were in San Diego on cruise 22

and they had stopped by to say hello to my family. It might not seem like all that much, but to me, three thousand miles from home, I realized just how lucky I am to have the friends I do. I don't think if we'd been fraternity brothers, simply sharing beers, they would have made the effort to stop by. However, because we've shared everything from academic woes to girl trouble and Plebe Summer, we've developed a bond stronger than good times; we've shared the tough times as well.

That was perhaps the most valuable lesson I learned all summer, that I've made some friends for life.

Well, the summer is behind us all now and there are plenty of new things to discuss about the upcoming year. The different members of the Brigade seem to be going through much the same motions but with much different perspectives. I'm sure the Plebes who await their assimilation into Brigade life feel a bit claustrophobic as they recognize that they are now outnumbered by upperclass. For the Youngsters, (if they are like my friends and I were two years ago) this return of the Brigade is bittersweet. For while they now enjoy the freedom of being an upperclass, it also begins to sink in that Herndon wasn't the final chapter in their lives as Midshipmen. Three more challenging years await them.

The Second Class appear anxious to begin their training of the Plebes and the onslaught of their toughest academic year. They have also committed (with their attendance of that first class) a stake of their lives to the Navy. For my Classmates and I, we look ahead to what we hope will be a year to grow closer as we head to the real challenge of a commission. In reality, we have returned as one Brigade but at different stages of our development here at USNA. August 16th, the first full day back, was indicative, I think, of what the following year will be like. I woke up to the shrill sound of my alarm clock (dormant for over three months) at 0615 and knew by my roommate of four year's facial expressions that we were indeed back.

Almost immediately after breakfast we headed to the first of a series of lectures that filled the day. These included briefs on the changes in CSORM (Commandant's Standard Organization and Regulation Manual), an honor lecture, the new Fourth Class Development Program (the new name for Plebe training), and a brief by the Commandant of Midshipmen. By far the most interesting to us all was the Commandant's briefing.

Capt. Padgett briefed the entire First Class on the changes at the Academy since May. The standards of the Brigade, from uniforms to rooms, were re-emphasized as he reminded us that it is our job to uphold the high standards that the Plebes have been held to over the Summer. There were also a number of changes in the system for all Classes at the Academy The majority of these new changes concern Plebe training.

The changes include a new atmosphere in King Hall. Evolving from last year's effort to create a more wardroom like atmosphere in the dining hall, the new changes include the end to "team tables" and their replacement with new double ration tables for athletes who require it. In years past, varsity teams ate as a unit and the Plebes on team tables had carry-on while they ate with their teammates. Now, athletes who need extra food will get it, but they will be required to follow the same King Shipmate, October 1993

Hall routine as the Brigade. The Commandant also reminded us that King Hall is intended to be a place where we all eat. In keeping with that, Plebe training of the question and answer variety will end. The new emphasis on training, in general, has moved away from the interrogation of Plebes to a senior-subordinate relationship more closely resembling that of the fleet. In this system, the Plebes are taught by their upperclass rather than quizzed by them. In keeping with this, however, the performance standards of all Midshipmen have been raised to a higher level. Those Midshipmen who do not meet the minimum standards will begin the road to dismissal in a more serious and expeditious way than before.

There are other minor changes, but from my perspective, none as substantial as these. Judging by the initial reaction to them (very little), I think the Brigade shares a feeling that we are making changes that are worthwhile. On cruise I don't think any of us saw an officer who held a "come-around" with their troops or who treated their troops without respect. The true test of all these changes has yet to come, of course, the Academy is a much different place when academic pressure begins to mount, but I feel we are headed in the right direction. The ever changing Navy of today can ill afford Naval Academy graduates who

do not set the example but attempt to command respect through intimidation.

As I sat waiting for the beginning of yet another lecture, I heard something that set in my mind what this return of the Brigade really means for my Classmates and me. Someone pointed out that only 281 days remain until we graduate. Just under three hundred days (I remember when it was over a thousand days) to learn the final lessons before the first phase of our apprenticeship ends. It will be a year of many changes and challenges for the Navy and here at the Academy.

And as this final return to Annapolis marks the beginning of a series of lasts for my Class, it also ushers in a new era of beginnings.

As excited as I am by the prospect of graduation and meeting new challenges, I am also reminded that this will be my final year spent together with my friends. As I look back at this last Summer, however, I am cheered by the fact the Navy remains part of my larger family.

Whether it was my friends visiting my parents, or my brother and I recognizing how the Navy has brought us together, I've learned that the bonds of the Navy will always bring us together, no matter where I call home next year.

Beat Army!

Navy Sports Tom Bates, Sports Information Director, Naval Academy Athletic Association

Myers Creates Own Legend When Greg Myers came to the Naval Academy in 1976 as men's soccer coach, he faced with one of those situations most coaches dread—how do you follow a legend? In Myers' case it was Soccer Hall of Famer Glenn Warner, who had just retired as collegiate soccer's all-time winningest coach.

"You just go ahead and do the best job you can," indicated Myers, who holds a Doctorate of Education from West Virginia University.

And Myers has done that best job for 17 years now. He has not only kept Navy's soccer program as one of the tops in the East—a 17-year mark of 140-97-41, plus an NCAA bid in 1988 and the Patriot League regular season championship in 1991—but has been one of the leaders throughout the country in pushing the sport to the forefront.

"The sport has grown at a phenomenal pace," notes Myers. "I think the number of participants around the country is now around 16 million.

"A good example of how the quality of play in high school has escalated is that I cut players this year at Navy that would have been starters when I came here in 1976."

Myers says there is one aspect of the sport's growth that he would like to see corrected.

"Those playing the sport aren't getting involved as spectators. They are not watching the game themselves. They will go to World Cup games but don't go to the sport on another level (from their's). There's just not that cult following as yet."

Myers' has worked tirelessly for the sport of soccer in the United States. He wrote the code of ethics for the National Soccer Coaches Association, which encompasses all levels of the sport from youth teams to professional squads, and modified it for the Intercollegiate Soccer Association of America, which deals primarily with the sport on the collegiate level.

He was chairman of the NCAA Soccer Rules and Selection Committee and when that group broke into two committees, he was again appointed to the NCAA Soccer Rules Committee, serving as its chairman again. He also was on the tournament selection committee and has been on the rating board for the top 20 in collegiate soccer for a number of years.

In 1984, when Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium was the site for the first round in the Olympic soccer games, Myers served as competition director.

Perhaps the most singular recognition of his dedication to the sport comes from his induction into the Hall of Fame of the National Intercollegiate Soccer Officials Association, the only non-official to be so honored. He also was 24

recently placed into the West Virginia University School of Physical Education Hall of Fame.

Myers pointed out that when he was on the rules committee, "I had to be a good politician, because I had to listen to a lot of complaints.

But my dealings with other coaches around the country went well."

Greg Myers is entering his 18th year as Navy's soccer coach.

He describes his coaching style as not being a cheerleader, "something I have been criticized for. I know when a player needs encouragement and when kicking some butt is necessary. It is difficult for me to express my emotions. Most of the players know that I love them to death but it is hard for me to express that.

"I always want them to be able to go out and do the things we worked on, play the best we can and be content when they look at themselves in the mirror after the game," says Myers, whose collegiate coaching career spans 26 years altogether. "If they can give 100 percent, then no matter what the score is, we have won.

"Many times the players are more afraid of me than they should be. If they have a problem I expect them to come in and we will solve it as a team of 28 players and two coaches. But I tell them 'let's keep the problems in-house and not air our dirty linen.'"

A stronger believer in fundamentals, Myers,

the Colonial Athletic Association Coach of the Year in 1988, says the program is more solid at Navy now in terms of talent than in his first years here. "In myfirst10 seasons, I feh like if I left any stone unturned, it would beat us. We didn't have the overall same abilities as our opponents. Our top three or four players were the equal of the top three or four of most opponents, but when it came to players five through eight, we were not as strong. Now we're better from top to bottom. Oh, we still lack some experience here and there.

"We have a lot of talent right now but we're not a team yet. It's a matter of getting everything into the right context. My big hope is that we can get the Plebes focused for the two hours we have them each day."

Myers, who coached the Miami Toros of the North American Soccer League from 1975-76, is ecstatic over the adding of women's soccer as a varsity sport at the Naval Academy. "It's simply great and in my mind long overdue.

"We were extremely fortunate to get Carin Gabarra as the head coach for the women (see story below). We couldn't have gotten anyone more significant than her with the possible exception of the national team coach. She will put the Navy women's soccer program on the map over night."

Myers was not pleased atfirstwhen the Midshipmen transferred a number of their sports from the Colonial Athletic Association to the Patriot League. First of all, the CAA has an automatic bid to the NCAA soccer playoffs and at the time the CAA also was a better soccer league from top to bottom.

"I always want to go against the highest level of competition we can get. I've had players come back in later years and they talk about the games against national powers like Howard and San Francisco whether we won or lost more than they do against some of our regular opponents.

"But the Patriot League now has better competition than the league is given credit for. To better our credibility we must beat some good outside competition. We also are getting a playin for an NCAA berth in 1994."

The Midshipmen have experienced some success in their first two years in the Patriot League, winning the regular season championship in 1991 and having the league's Most Valuable Player in Jono Halverson in 1992.

Myers says he derives great satisfaction when former players come back with their families and say hello. "We know then they are a success and that's more rewarding than a letter of thanks."

Report of Gifts—Fiscal Year 1993 1 July 1992-30 June 1993

Private support of the Naval Academy has always played an important part in its growth and development. The first organized fund drive by Alumni in 1892 netted $41.73. Since that time. Alumni, parents, and friends of the Academy have contributed many millions of dollars to supplement available appropriated fiinds.

In every area of endeavor inside the Yard— from academics to athletics, from books to buildings—this support has helped bridge the gap between adequacy and excellence.

During Fiscal Year 1993, the Naval Academy Alumni Association received gifts totalling $3,615,480. Of this amount, $1,438,132 was in the form of unrestricted gifts, while $2,177,348 was designated for specific projects. It should be noted that thesefiguresreflect only those gifts which were received during the year and do not include many thousands of dollars in pledges of future support.

The loyalty and generosity of the Naval Academy "family" during Fiscal Year 1993 is particularly noteworthy considering the uncertain namre of the economy and other factors affecting disposable income during the year.

In the following pages, those who gave so generously of their resources are listed. We deeply appreciate each gift.

Letters to the left of the names indicate the level of giving during the year.

ALUMNI PHONATHON 1993 During Fiscal Year 1993, six Classes: 1962, 1967, 1974, 1977, 1982 and 1983 participated in a phonathon campaign with the objective of increasing support of the Academy and the Association. The Classes of 1962, 1967, 1974 and 1982 conducted one-year campaigns for unrestricted support; the Class of 1977 commenced a three-year campaign for a Class project; and the Class of 1983 a two-year campaign for a specific project.

In each Class, results were significantly higher than the previous years. They were: Class 1962 1967 1974 1977 1982 1983

Our sincere thanks go to those six Classes who have blazed the trail.

Parents' Shipmate Club Over the years, many parents have expressed a feeling of concern over losing contact with the Naval Academy after their midshipman has graduated. In an effort to fill that need, the Alumni Association formed a special recognition club, the Parents' Shipmate Club. Members of the Parents' Shipmate Club receive a lifetime subscription to the Alumni Association's magazine. Shipmate, and the opportunity to participate in the Association's travel program. Parents become members of the Shipmate Club by making a tax-deductible gift or pledge equal to, or greater than, their midshipman's Class year, e.g.. Class of '93 a gift or multi-year pledge of $1,993. The following parents are already members of the Parents' Shipmate Club.

Corporate Matching Gifts Corporate matching gift programs date back to the early 1950s when the General Electric Company instituted a program to match employee gifts to higher education. Today, over 1,000 companies across the country do. We are grateful to those companies for their support and to those Alumni and friends of the Naval Academy whose thoughtfulness resulted in doubling, or in some cases, a tripling of their gifts.

In 1929 he joined the staff of the Maccabee Insurance Co., of which he became the president in 1958.

He is survived by his wife Winifred, who lives at the Whitehills Health Care Center, 352 Marshall St., East Lansing, Mich. 48823; his son John Morris; his daughters, Nancy McFadden of Eugene, Ore., and Helen Cartwright of Boston, Mass.; four grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

Pres., Adm. Arleigh Burke USN (Ret.) Sec'y, RAdm. John R. Johannesen USN (Ret.) 6251 Old Dominion Dr., Apt. #103 McLean, Va. 22101 1 have received numerous letters over the past months and I'd like to share some of them with you.

The first is from VAdm. Dick Miller USN (Ret.) '50, who writes: I am writing to you about my recently deceased sister-in-law, Maria Christina Herrera Fitch Miller Tina, as she was known in our family, was the widow of Lt. (jg) Graham N. Fitch, '23 when she married my brother Paul J. Miller I thought perhaps you and your Classmates would be interested in a few facts about her Graham and Tina met in her home town of San Jose, Costa Rica at an embassy dance for the wardroom of his ship. He courted her by mail and later rettimed to Costa Rica and they were married. After the wedding they travelled to Panama where CLEVELAND, his ship, was located. She liked to tell the story of her first dinner there, hosted by the wardroom for the newly weds. When asked for her order by die waiter the teenage girl with limited English skills ordered the only American food she knew.

"But Still when two or three shall meet, And old tales be retold . . . "

"com flakes." Graham applied for submarine training because, he told his bride, there would be less time at sea away from her. They were living in the Boston area when his submarine, S-4, sank after colliding with a Coast Guard cutler off Provincetown in December 1927. Graham and several others were the last alive in the forward torpedo room.

Tina was aboard one of the rescue vessels during attempts to save the men. Rough weather thwarted the rescue and all hands were lost.

About a year later, Tina sailed for Cosia Rica to be with her family. At a stop in Havana the young widow met my brother Again she was courted by mail and subsequently he went to Costa Rica, where they were married. They had two sons, six grandchildren and several great-grandchildren, Tina died on 18 January 1993 in Miami, Ha. We in the family remember her as a courageous and very beautiful young woman and a gracious and kind lady throughout her life.

From a letter I received from Bob Dehlendorf in 1987 is this reflection: I hold no regrets over my decision to transfer to M.I.T. because I got what I was after in the way of an engineering education and I metfinepeople there and thereafter During WWII I got to serve the Navy for the duration as a civilian turning out Gun Turret Ikjuipmenl (GRI) for BuAer That was with Emerson Elec. Mfg. Co. in St, Louis, which company I had signed up with in 1924 as an apprentice engineer at 65 cents per hour In the course of time a gent by the name of Stewart Symington took (just before WWII) charge of the company and before Pearl Harbor Day we built a special plant for gunttirrets.He liked my background with USNA and asked me to work with BuAer which I did for the next 4 years. I felt a great deal of allegiance to the Navy and to my Class of 23, who by then were out there doing a great job, like Arleigh. I was into Patuxent several times where I saw Bill Rassieur and some place else where I saw Red Oliver. TTiose were the days of Old Times dating back to Plebe Summer Will you ever recall that long strung out photo of the Class with one or so sneaking from one end to the other faster than the swerving camera?

Robert Hilsabeck '46 sent along the following in May 1991, but his words are still much appreciated: This note, from a member of the Class of '46, may seem to have missed the coned Sfiipmate Class News slot by 23 years. However the explanation is both a simple one and a happy one.

I had the great good fortune to serve under (then) Capl. Ed R. Peck, '23, when he commanded LEYTE (CV-32) in 1947 and 1948. He was a wonder-

ful skipper in every respect: his proficiency in all things naval was matched by personal characteristics that every j.o. who served under him sought to emulate. "Capt." Peck (now RAdm., Ret.) was kind enough to respond to a letter I wrote four years ago and since then we have exchanged notes from time to time. As a recent Class News item in Shipmate indicated a while back, Ed is one of six '23 members living in Horida. My wife and I had occasion to drive to Florida recently, and we stopped at Ed's home (in Vero Beach) to see and visit with him on 14 April. I am happy to report that he is in fine fettle, subject only to the inconveniences that going on 89 years of age (come 3 November this Fall) entail.

It was very gratifying to me, a "former Ensign" whose early, rough edges "Capt." Peck did so much to smooth out, to find him so well. His alertness, graciousness and genial spirits are still very much present, and I thought it woud not be out of line to report this to all his friends in '23.

Thank you Robert for taking the time to tell us that we 23ers had such a positive impact on "Those that came after."

Now a note from Gordon Meriwether '48 informing us of the death of Lillian Eoff Crommelin, the wife of our RAdm. John G. Crommelin USN (Ret.). Lillian died on 8 February 1993 in Montgomery, Ala., where she and John have been long time residents. She was a native of Findley, Ohio and had married John in 1931.

Burial was in Greenwood Cemetery following services at St. John's Episcopal Church.

Besides John, she is survived by her daughters Katharine V. Milton of Berkeley, Calif., and Lillian B. "Jill" Crommelin of Wetumpka; her son John G. Crommelin IV of Atlanta, (3a.; and six grandchildren.

Memorial gifts can be sent to the American Cancer Society Memorial Fund in Montgomery, Ala. John continues to reside at 1253 Magnolia Curve, Montgomery, Ala. 36106.

This nice note was received from Jay Newbem '60: One of the warmest moments of my past several years was when 1 saw your May Class News featuring the enlarged photo of Adm. and Mrs. Burke. He was in and around DC. and Annapolis during our midshipman years and was the most evident example of our developing way of life, the direction of our careers. The photo also does more for showing the life partnership with a lady whose face we cannot see, whose deeds remain untold, but whom, we can imagine, stood tall also.

We of later Classes probably attach more to him than to the rest of your Class because it was his name, his rank, his particular history which we absorbed. We won't honor him only, however, because the rest of youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and your ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;were as involved in setting our examples.

That photo probably won't mean all dial much to the rest of the world, but there is a good group of men, and now women, to whom it means an awful lot. To the Class of '23 . . . and '22, '21, and the others, thank you.

And finally a nice letter and a request from Joe Wenger's son, Jeffrey: I have been progressing along ever so well with the biography I have been preparing on my father, "Skinny Joe" Wenger, even if it has been arduous going at times. I have a question, which I thought I might address to you as the Class Secretary for possible inclusion in the mimeographed Class notes, or through some other means of inquiry.

There was one tour of duty where I have come upon very little information, and began to wonder if perhaps some Classmate might have some knowledge.

My father was a gunnery officer aboard MILWAUKEE from March 1929 to July 1930. This included a reWm voyage from the Far East to die East Coast, where he remained aboard for an approximate year.

I have the following from that duty in his handwriting: "For antiaircraft battery control with the installation oudined in this report, the following procedure is contemplated: the A.A. control officer is notified of approaching aircraft attack over die JA line; by means of 1-2 JY lines or voice tubes he coaches pointers and trainers on target, and designates proper target to range finders over 5JW or 6JW. The range finders transmit ranges and angles of train or elevation direct to . . " I t stops at that point.

Interest here is for the fact that he subsequendy became involved widi initiating the mechanization of his cryptologic trade.

I believe the above quotation involved a particular Ford shipboard antiaircraft fire-control system of 1926, The Ford rangefindersof die era have an evoShipmate, October 1993

lutionary affinity with the mechanization in which he dien tiecame involved, and constitute a central element of the biography.

Hopefully, someone either knew him aboard MILWAUKEE, and/or knows some particulars about his particular statement and could comment on his involvement with those devices as a gunnery officer Any aspect on a more personal level from that period, or any other would also be gready appreciated, Jeffrey Wenger can be reached at 666 Main Street, Harwichport, Mass. 02646, if anyone has information to share.

1 hope to hear from '23, keep those letters and phone calls coming.

Pres., RAdm. Walter C. Ford USN (Ret.) Sec'y Capt. George W. Bains JAGC USN (Ret.) 4145 Venetia Blvd.. Jacksonville, FI. 32210 For this month of October we have four of our Classmates who celebrate their birthdays, so we send Happy Birthday wishes to: Clarence Ray on the 12th for his 91st: Francis Thomas on the 16th for his 89th; Devere (Red) Day on the 20th for his 92nd; and Daniel Stubbs on the 30th for his 90th.

I have written letters to some of our group and never get an answer. Each of us have a feeling that everyone in the Class knows his history, however, that is not true. We would appreciate getting information about each of your careers. Please give and I will see that it is given proper treatment under our Class of 25 report. Some of our group are in nursing homes, incapacitated or unable to write; a wife or relative could send in such information. If possible I will try never to have a blank tor our Class.

We have received the sad news that one of our graduates. Charles M. Goetz. who was not commissioned because of illness, passed away on 13 November 1992. He is survived by three children; Susan G. Everitt, Charles M. Goetz, J r . and Nancy G. Mattsen.

We extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to his family.

The last of our Classmates living in Hawaii passed away on 9 January of this year when LCdr. John B. (Robbie) Robertson died in his home in Honolulu.

He is survived by his wife Betty, to whom we send our deepest sympathy and condolences. I feel especially regretful, personally, as we had been friends for many years. The last four or five times we were in Honolulu we have been entertained by Betty and Robbie: seeing them in their beautiful Diamond Head home and now more recently in their penthouse condo overlooking the city. Betty was a designer and manufacturer of ladies swim suits and sport clothes, a business which she sold to a national manufacturer several years ago. She still lives in their beautiful condo.

The Summer issue of Shipmate had an obituary of Lingurn H. Burkhead who died on 20 February 1993. We understand that he left no family and we have no one to whom we can send our sympathy, however all of us regret his death.

Pres., RAdm. Kenneth Craig USN (Ret.) Sec'y, RAdm. J. W. Callahan USN (Ret.) 1138 Glorietta Blvd., Coronado, Calif 92118 (619) 435-5990 From the USS STOUT (DDG-55) Newsletter: Radm. Stout Exhibit On Memorial Day, 31 May 1993, the Rear Admiral Herald F. Stout Exhibit was dedicated at the J. E. Reeves Victorian Home and Museum in Dover, Ohio.

The exhibit is housed in the Carriage House Museum and is an extensive collection of memorabilia from Adm. Stout's life, chronicling his youth in Dover, Ohio, his heroic Naval Career, and his post-Navy life.

The exhibit features the Admiral's uniform, citations, medals, awards, and numerous memorabilia from his Naval career as well as a superb photographic display that spans his life. Also featured is a presentation of the history of STOUT (DDG-55).

Remaining space allows for documentation of Stout's future progress.

Mrs. Zoe Stout, widow of Adm. Stout, and Mrs. Cris Nixon, Director of the J. E. Reeves Home and Museum, have done an exceptional job in bringing this exhibit to fruition. The coordination by Mrs. Nixon and her staff, and the magnificent craftsmanship of many local artists in Ohio (especially the cabinet-display case artisan), is unsurpassed.

If you are in the Dover area (southeast Ohio, right off Interstate 77), you should drop in and enjoy the museum and the Adm. Stout exhibit. It is located at 325 East Iron Avenue. Dover is a beautiful quiet town that anyone would be proud to live or work in. Don't miss seeing it!

Mort Fleming writes: Memories! Mary and Ted Frederick's 66th wedding anniversary recently, reminded us that they brought Isabel and our new son Paul home from the hospital in Pensacola in their new Model A Ford sedan in 1928. Our 4 cylinder Whippet, with rumble seat, did not have room.

We play golf with son Paul (now 64) once a week on Miramar's championship course. I have also nearly recovered from my "merry go round" accident of one and a half years ago.

PS, 1 think many of the Class would like to know (in Stiipmate), how many are still surviving in the Class of '26, As a result of Mort's suggestion we made a check of the 1993 Register of Alumni and came up with the fact that there are 73 members of our Naval Academy Class still living.

A card from Charlie Buchanan informs us of his new address: RAdm. Charles A. Buchanan, 2110 River Cresent Drive, Annapolis, Md. 21401; 410 266-6856. Charlie wrote on the card: "am settling in my new digs, leaming new ropes, finding friends from the past in varied duty stations. Bill Pryor, Bion Biers and 1 represent '26 here at Ginger Cove."

We thank Frank O'Beime, Bill Pryor and Beppy Eakins, widow of Johnny Eakins, for sending us obituaries of Charlie Adair.

Notes from their letters: Charlie Adair's Services were held in the Naval Academy Chapel on 7 July, with interment in the Naval Academy cemetery.

Frank O'Beirne ordered a standing spray of yellow mums, with blue ribbon, from USNA Class of 1926 to be sent to the Chapel.

Bill Pryor wrote: Beppie Eakens and I were able to attend Charlie Adair's funeral at the Naval Academy yesterday and found it impressive. It was in the main Academy Chapel with a nice sermon. As far as we could see we were the only 1926 associates there. I happened to know the previous commiUTienis of several others whom I had telephoned. All attendants "followed

the leader" to the Naval Academy Cemetery, enjoying a saluting gun salute crossing the bridge from the main Academy to Hospital Point and the cemetery, another one entering the cemetery and a third one as the casket was lowered into the grave. So Charlie was well saluted!

Beppie had insisted on driving, which she does well. We were able to find our way to the Adair daughter's house in Annapolis where we offered our love and condolences to his wife, Kitty, and his daughter Katrina Mazurek.

For further information on Charlie Adair's obituary see Last Call next issue.

Beppy Eakins sent news from Ginger Cove. Jean Strange, widow of Hubie Strange, hasn't aged a bitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but still has terrible pain most of the time. But you never hear a complaint!

Bay McCorkle, widow of Mac McCorkle, is also here and seems very well.

Bion Bierer is away for two weeks and I miss him terribly. His family had a reunion for him on Martha's Vineyard. He and Bill Pryor have both been going in our pool. 1 think it is doing both a lot of good.

Edmund H. Ellis '46, Chairman of June Week West, mail address RO. Box 8394, Victorville, Calif.

92392; 619 243-1885, asked us to put this information in our column: Navy is going to play San Diego State University in Jack Murphy Stadium 3 September 1994. June Week West '94 will be held within this larger framework which will be called Homecoming West.

The Naval Academy Athletic Association will have a block of 10,000 tickets.

A block of 200 rooms at $89 single or double has been reserved at the Town and Country Hotel which is about a mile from Jack Murphy Stadium.

Present were: Bobby Coffin; Bud Hammond with niece, Lee Payne visiting from Phoenix; and Nina and Oley Sharp. A small turnout by San Diego standards; however, it still stands " 1 " in our league.

We are indebted to Otie Gregg for the gem quoted below. He claims that local (Va. Beach) female friends who come to visit seem to like it, so, here it is, a letter from a West Virginia mother to her Virginia son: I am writing this slow because I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left.

Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within twenty miles of home so we moved, I won't be able to send you the address cause the family that lived here took the house numbers with them so they wouldn't have to change the address.

This place has a washing machine. Thefirstday I put 4 shirts in it, pulled down the handle and haven't seen them since. It only rained twice this week, three days the first lime and four days the second time.

The coat you wanted me to send you, your Aunt Sue said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with all them heavy buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.

We got a bill from the funeral home, said if we didn't make the payment on Grandma's funeral bdl, up she comes.

About your father, he has a lovely new job. He has over 500 men under him. He is cutting grass in the cemetery.

About your sister she had a baby this morning, I haven't found out if it's a boy or a girl, so I don't know if you are an aunt or uncle.

Three of your friends went off the bridge in a pickup. One was driving, the other two was in the back. The driver got out, he rolled down the window and swam to safety. The other two drowned. They could not get the tailgate down. Your Uncle John fell in the whiskey vat. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off, then he drowned. We cremated him and he burned for 3 days.

Not much more news this time, nothing much happened. Write more often.

Love, Mom. RS. I was going to send you some money, but the envelope was already sealed.

Lonore Kent Van Swearingen, Van's widow, died at her home in Alexandria, Va., on 13 July 1993 after a long illness. Funeral services were conducted at Memorial Chapel, Ft. Myer, Va., on 19 July.

Bom and reared in Pittsburgh, she worked as a script supervisor for Wamer Brothers and for 20th Century Fox through the early years of the Depression, moving to Washington to become Director of Public Information for the National Paint, Varnish & Lacquer Association, Inc. She prepared articles for many of the country's major magazines and newspapers, and scripts for radio, film and television. She resigned from this employment when her first husband, Lawrence Kiefer, died.

She was a charter member of the Alexandria branch of the National League of American Pen Women and founded the Capital Speakers Club for Women from Washington's congressional and diplomatic circles. She also helped in the organization of "Welcome to Washington" for long-term foreign visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;ladies in the diplomatic corps and others.

In 1967, she married Captain Earl K. Van Swearingen, USN (Ret.) and continued activities in The Old Town Civic Association, the Little Theater of Alexandria and the Alexandria Association. She eamed the title of "Citizen Watchdog," frequently waging battles against developers in order to preserve the city's historic values.

Lonore is survived by her daughter, Lauren Scott of New York City We are sorry to report the death of Eleanore Shapley, wife of the late LGen. Alan (Shap) Shapley, USMC (Ret.) on 25 July 1993. She lived at the Navy Marine Corps and Coast Guard Residence (Vinson Hall) in McLean, Va. Funeral services were held there on 30 July, followed by interment at the Arlington National Cemetery.

Eleanore and Shap were married following graduation in July 1927. She had taught in the elementary school system in Detroit and with this qualification blended in with similar systems as a teacher in Quantico, Va., and later at Camp Pendleton in California.

Her continuing home occupation was needlepoint design, which she developed to perfection. Not content with ordinary tapestries, she chose historical and mythical characters which were themes for intricate designs. The finished work was usually given to friends or relatives. She was also a keen student of the history of antiques, in particular many that were found in an old ranch house in the Camp Pendleton area where she and Shap lived.

She is survived by a son, Charles E Herreshoff of Charlottesville, Va.; a daughter, Louise Herreshoff Shapley of Racine, W i s e ; three grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.

Rena Mcintosh Cooper, wife of Josh, died from the effects of a stroke on 10 August 1993. A memorial service was held at St. Andrews Chapel, at the Naval Academy on 17 August followed by interment in the Naval Academy Cemetery.

Rena was born in Ninga, Manitoba, Canada and moved to Vancouver, B.C. at an early age. She attended schools there including the University of British Columbia and was a member of the St. Giles Presbyterian Church. Ens. Joshua Cooper met her in 1929 on board SS RUTH ALEXANDER, a west coast passenger liner which commuted between San Diego

62

and Vancouver. Two years later they were married.

Rena accompanied her husband as practicable during the ensuing 31 years of his active duty and in the process lived in San Diego, Long Beach, San Francisco, Seattle, Bremerton, Honolulu, Boston, Norfolk, Washington and Alexandria, Va. Gifted with a pleasing personality and a knack for establishing a home on short notice, she demonstrated her expertise in guiding her family in moving through some 25 locations. Early Cold War assignments landed them in Greece and Norway for two year periods in each locale.

Rena was active in community affairs wherever she was located. She participated in Navy Relief Society activities in the principal seaport cities, and served as chairman in San Diego. While in Greece, she helped create a group called the American Women of Greece, which worked to foster good relations between our two countries. Later, she worked in similar fashion with the American Women of Norway and was an active member of a Norwegian American Reading Group.

In 1962, she and Josh settled in Alexandria. In socalled retirement she worked as a volunteer for the Alexandria Hospital and served on the Council of the Little Theater of Alexandria for more than 15 years.

She was an early member and organizer of the "Welcome to Washington" Group in Alexandria which seeks to introduce ladies of foreign embassies and others to the American way of life.

She will be missed!

Her survivors include her husband; a daughter, Sara Cooper Masterson (wife of RAdm. Kleber S. Masterson, Jr '54); a son, Thomas J. Cooper, Esq.; two grandsons, Thomas M. Masterson, M.D. and John C. Masterson, Esq.; and one great-grandson, all living in Alexandria.

The Class acknowledges and thanks Gracious and Jack Galbraith for a generous contribution in memory of their departed neighbor. Bill Irvin.

Mike Russillo writes from Redington Beach, Fla., regarding 27ers residing in the Gulf area of Florida.

Dode and Joe Boulware are doing well in Altoona; Mildred Kaitner is visiting her brother in Oregon; Mary Tague is still in Majestic Towers Nursing Home in St. Petersburg and Chris and Mike Russillo are maintaining a level stance at their home in Redington Beach.

Joe Maher is getting his right hip re-done at the National Orthopaedic Hospital in Arlington, Va. Two days after his operation, Joe is enthusiastic regarding the success of the operationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and expects to be playing kick ball in a couple of months.

Lakemont Ave., Apt. 405/07 Winter Park, Fla. 32892-5496 Mitzi Cushing, daughter of Cynthia and Neale Curtin, kindly sent the news of the sad passing of her mother on 9 June in Bryn Mawr, Penna. Born in Maine, Cynthia grew up in Wynnewood, Penna.; she was a dress designer prior to her marriage to Neale.

Cynthia had summered at her camp on Great Pond in Rome, Maine, since 1921. She and Neale had been blessed with 3 children: Mitzi, Randi, and Mark; 4 grandchildren; and two great-granddaughters. Mitzi said: "Since Dad died in April '92, Mother always said how lucky he was to die in his sleep-well, she went peacefully, too."

Helen (Mrs. Harry) Sears writes: We're still doing OK over here in Chevy Chasein fact we are going out more socially than ever before. Two of Harry's sons took us out to the ballgame at Camden Yards a couple of weeks ago to watch the Boston Red Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles-a delight to Harry, an old Sox fan. A beautiful, clear night and a great new stadium. Another first for us both as we hadn't been to a game in many years.

It has been a lazy, hot summer but we've managed to see a couple of movies, gone to a wedding, attended family picnics and outings so this has kept us busy and out of trouble. Dam it!

Our next big 'outing' will be the 12di reunion and 50th anniversary of Harry's WWII bomber squadron in Norfolk, to be held in October The last one we were able to attend was in 1987 in Boston and missed two others that followed. What makes this particular reunion so special is that it is being dedicated entirely to the "Skipper." He will be very embarrassed if I put this letter from the VB-104 Newsletter in the Sfiipmate column but I say, why not?! It was a total surprise to us, but a most pleasant one.

Believe me, if we hadn't planned on going before, we would certainly have to now, after this extraordinary tribute. Here it is: Screaming One "O" Four "We dedicate our I2th reunion and our 50th Anniversary to VAdm, Harry Edward Sears, USN (Ret,), It was through his devotion to our country, to our Navy and to our squadron that inspired the officers and men of Bombing Squadron 104 to excel. It was through his motivation, his insistence for excellence and his supremacy as a leader that made 104 the example to be followed. It was his vision that changed patrol operations from a defensive mode to an offensive mode, no longer simply reporting on the enemy, but attacking and destroying the enemy.

Through his leadership 104 was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation , . , the Nation's highest award

"Our slogan for this our I2th reunion and the 50th anniversary of the squadron's commissioning: MANY CHEERS FOR HARRY SEARS AND FIFTY YEARS! "We salute you. Skipper Numero Uno." That's it for now from your roving reporter H. Sears. I'm enclosing a picture, too, just to show that we are doing quite well and on our feet!

Mac Leary reports that he received word from Chet Wine that Kathleen (Mrs. Harry M.) Holland died at her residence in Martinsville, Va. In the July/ August Shipmate Mac speaks of Chet Wine's rettrement home called "The Forum." Your C/S forgot to point out that The Forum is in San Antonio.

Mac comments that Harry Holland was a very popular '28er in the First Batt, 2nd Company-liked by everyone: Classmates and upperclassmen-too bad he had to resign.

Shipmate, October 1993

Doc Ballance called recendy from his home in Indian Springs, Nevada, to report that he is still working—in spite of a little shortness of breath. He wanted Ski Burzynski's address. (The last word is that Ski is still in a retirement home near one of his sons: the address is still Greenville Nursing Home, Room 112, RO. Box 5046, Greenville, N.C. 27835.)

Ski has had at least two critical falls, and apparently his son does his writing for him. According to Mac Leary, Ski is having trouble with his memory . . .as do most of us octogenarians. (How do you spell that?!)

From Norman Garton in Laguna Hills, Calif., we have the following: My oldest daughter, Serena Vassa died 30 January 1992 (she would have been 60 in September '92). I now have four grandchildren, three great grandchildren and one great-greatgrandchild.

Marianne (my wife) is suffering from breast cancer and is seriously ill. She is starting a second series of chemotherapy.

The Class thanks Norman for his writing and our prayers go to his family in this time.

Vlada's off to her usual semi-annual Irip to Holy Russia in late July—again in connection with student exchange of college kids. Vlada thought she had retired from college stuff (prof.) five years ago. but I don't see any real sign of it. Some of these Russian kids that come over on exchange basis for several months speak better English than 1 do. When 1 was in Ihe USSR. 1942-44. it was very rare to find ANYBODY that spoke English. On Ihe other hand, not a hell of a lot of Americans spoke any Russian.

We must have hundreds in Ihe USN. and about 100 take Russian at USNA. But in 1942. we had about five who had any knowledge of the language: Sam Frankel and I, Al Wilson '32. Eddie SeidcL '31 and several others of about the same time. Vlada has sent about 20 of her students to the NSA, and one as a UN translater (translated between Gorby and Ronny Reagan at Geneva about 6 years ago).

The enclosed is a little bumwad 1 produce quarleriy for the band of about 400 Old China Hands of Ihe Asiatic Fleet. Believe me. cranking out 22 pages with two wingers on Ihe typewriter takes not only some time, but a hell of a lot of research and digging for pictures.

The "farm" takes up the rest—painting ship on 2 houses and 1 barn. 3 acres to manicure, a large garden. We do have some jungle, loo. It is easy to claim it is "Japanese style." Saves tender

1 read with interest Chris Engleman's '30 comment on the Class secretary job and some of it echoes my own thoughts on the matter. 1 am reminded of the quotation from Shakespeare wherein some are born great, some achieve it, and others have it thrust upon them. (1 belong in the latter category).

1 had a nice note from Nancy Richardson from Alexandria, Va. on my return from the hospital. She notes that Bill Allen has also been hospitalized. They are in Scottsdale, Ariz. Nancy went around the world in February and March and visited her son in Pakistan.

She frequently sees Judy Laning, Cal's daughter.

Kemp Tolley's interesting letter to Johnny Davison follows: So here goes my annual letter to waft over the staggering sum of five bucks for the Cause, Too bad we can't limit all our expenses (1 July just around the comer—and bills) on all fronts to the same scale.

Pres., RAdm. William O. Snead USN (Ret.) Sec'y, Capt. Christian L. Engleman USN (Ret.) MPO 82R, Skamania Mines Rd., Washougal, Wash. 98671 Although Chris Engleman seems to have given up on the GCCS concept of writing the '30 column, nevertheless I think it was a great idea, and it seems to have worked admirably. He has achieved a remarkable response from those he listed in his schedule. I have decided not to be the last one to fail him. Hence, 1 submit the following for what it's worth: From Chris' schedule, as advisor, my team consisted of Kyran Curley, Bill Kirvan, R. C. D. Hunt, Harold Johnson, and Bob Moore. The only one who seemed able to respond was Kyran Curley.

Bill Kirvan, his wife Rita reports, is not well and is unable to respond at all; sad because Bill was a stellar performer in the Third Batt with a bright attractive personality, always fun to be with. Dick Hunt and Harold Johnson are both deceased. In fact, I buried Dick on Good Friday, 17 April 1992 in Arlington Cemetery. Harold died on 15 June 1992 in West Chester, Penna., and Bob Moore had nothing to offer. So that leaves me to wing it on my own, what with just

having lost my 91-year-old brother, Rutherford, a retired Army major (Field Artillery), a veteran of WWII, seeing him through six weeks of his final illness, and now having to clear out his apartment over near Fort Myer, at the same time attempting to keep my ministry going. Hence, I'll never be able to match the stellar performances of some of our other GCCS's, especially that of Sparky Woodruff in the April Shipmate. Wow, four full pages of Class column, all full of and a-buzz with Class news from all over and so beautifully and interestingly told.

Anyway, it isn't often that we get to welcome back to the fold a Classmate whom we haven't seen or heard from in many years, at least not I, since graduation, when I sat next to him in Dahlgren Hall, the two of us awaiting the call of our names to come forth and receive our diplomas with the shake of the hand of the Secretary of the Navy, Curtis D. Wilbur That Classmate was and is Kyran Curley, discovered hiding out over there in Wilmington, Del. True, he was on Chris' list but without a telephone number. He responded to my call with interest and a letter which 1 herewith excerpt and embellish with what he said on the hom.

Apparently, since he retired, which he did on 1 January 1947, he has worked at various jobs east and west, first in Bayonne, N.J., then to Califomia and back again, to be near one or another of his three children, eventually deciding that California was not for him, and finally settling in Wilmington, Del., where he now is.

But Kyran had a rather interesting active duty career, serving in battleship, cruiser, and amphibious forces prior to and during WWII, mostly in the Pacific, with one tour ashore at the Naval Training Station, Norfolk. But the icing on the cake for Kyran was his assignment as Exec, and later C O . , of Advance Base, Bleecher, on the Friendly Island of Tongatabu, and later as Port Director at Vila, Efate, in the South Pacific. He said that at Tongatabu, although the Queen was very friendly, no one got to see her except through him. Strangely enough, concurrently, not knowing Kyran was just a few miles away, 1 was spending ten months on the Fiji Island of Viti Levu as Assistant Port Director and Communication Officer.

Kyran later was assigned to the Seventh Fleet Amphibious Force, in command of a landing group during the Okinawa Campaign, where 1 also was in command of the radar picket destroyer BROWN (DD-546). Later, both of us were engaged post war in mines weeping operations in the East China Sea, then with the occupation forces, and Kyran later to Shanghai, from whence, in early 1946, under orders from Turner Joy, Commander, Yangtze Patrol, he took his LC (FF) LCS Group #14 up the Yangtze River 600 miles, all the way to Hankow, with orders first, at Shanghai to make contact with the American Consul, Chinese naval commands. General Wedemeyer's U.S. Army Command, the Inspector General of Chinese Customs, and the Port Director of Shanghai.

Kyran said their orders enroute were to check navigational aids, disarm any Japanese troops on the river, log all steamers encountered, destroy mines sighted, and contact Consular offices at Nanking and Hankow.

Kyran has written a fascinating account of his trip.

Again, I had made that trip up the Yangtze to Hankow, and so had Eph Holmes and Tacky Marshall, but in 1933 in HOUSTON, Flagship of the U.S. Asiatic Fleet.

Kyran's account is much too long to include in a Shipmate column, but it is worth publishing as an article in Shipmate or the Naval Institute Proceedings.

His address is Kyran E. Curley, 402 Foulk Road, Apt. 387, Wilmington, Del. 19803.

For the football games, arrangements have been made to occupy the Stadium Parking Space #19, jointly with the Class of 1938, through the courtesy of our friends of that Class.

Members of the Class of 1929 are cordially invited to join us for our Stag Lunches, and their ladies are cordially invited to join our ladies for lunch in the Grill of ANCC. NOTE: The Washington Chapter of the Naval Academy Alumni Association meets on the third Wednesday of each month in the Koran Room of the Fort Myer Officers' Club. Classmates and ladies are cordially invited to these meetings, which usually feature well-known speakers.

PLEASE mark the dates on your calendar for these important Class events and COME! Your committee will send reminders when appropriate.

Bill Snead had the pleasure (in late May) of attending the graduation of his grandson, Patrick Gallagher Snead at the University of the South, Sewanee, Tenn. Patrick, a 1989 graduate of Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Va., attended the University of St. Andrews, St. Andrews, Scotland before transferring to "Sewanee," as it is popularly known.

The University of the South was founded in 1864, near the close of the Civil War, by the Bishops of the Episcopal diocese of the several Southern States. The University, with its beautiful buildings and campus, is located on the top of Monteagle Mountain. The site commands a magnificent view of the 10,000 acres of forests owned by the University and known to its students as the "domain."

The student body is about evenly divided between men and women. The University offers advanced degrees in its School of Theology, bachelor degrees in its School of Arts and Sciences. At this commencement, the University conferred honorary degrees on six distinguished gentlemen, including of special interest to us, the award of the degree of Doctor of Civil Law to Adm. Frank B. Kelso 11, '56.

Helping Patrick Snead celebrate in the four days of festivities which preceded the graduation exercises were his mother and father, Pat and William 111, sister Erin, and, not-to-be overlooked, his grandfather, whenever he could keep up! Their local home base was a spacious cabin on a beautiful lake in Tim's Ford State Park about 25 miles from Sewanee.

We have learned through Cici Howard, who corresponds regularly with Frances Palmer in Charleston, S . C , that George Guignard Palmer, grandson of Frances and George G. ("G. G.") Palmer, also had recently graduated from Sewanee. Upon further

64

checking, we found that the two young men, Pat and Gig, were Classmates and close friends at Sewanee, but they had never discovered that their respective grandfathers had likewise been Classmates and close friends at the Naval Academy. Of such is fleeting fame!

Bob Craighill says that his grandfather Craighill and assorted uncles and cousins have also attended and graduated from Sewanee.

Roberts Ln., Ariington, Va. 22207 (703) 524-4599 (O); (703) 525-2981 (H) We had a fine turnout of 35 for our July coed luncheon at the Annapolis Yacht Club, ably managed by Carl Mott. Elynor Brown came from Fort Myers; PK Will from Maine; Ruth and Sherry Betts from North Carolina; Audrey Dempsey, Ali Gadrow, and Ellie Williamson with daughter and son-in-law Brad Sutter, and friend Hariey Clemson from the Norfolk area. Betty and Julie Becton came from Wynnewood, Penna., with their daughter, Julie. From Annapolis: Judy and Jack Chew, Lou and Jack Crowley, Peg Theobald, Sara Ann and Carl Mott, Jane O'Connor, Gus and Ted Torgerson, and Polly Williams. From the Washington metropolitan area: Ray Hunter, Roberta McCain, Lynn and A. B. Metsger, Jack Miner, Estelle Needham, Margaret Toth, Virginia and Johnny Webster, and Vema Williams. From the Virginia cow country, Joe Gardiner.

An open bar supported by anonymous Classmate contributions was a welcome convenience. (And speaking of anonymous contributions, we acknowledge one nice one toward secretarial expenses.)

We heard a word of appreciation for the fine work of our area captains in keeping the Class together— San Diego-Ed Burns, San Francisco-Dick Peterson, SW Florida-Elynor Brown, Norfolk-Ali Gadrow, Annapolis-Jack Crowley; and in Washington our callers under Jack Miner, Bucky Bouve and Easy Stewart.

Ali reports all on even keel in Norfolk, with a luncheon planned for 19 September at Elizabeth Lefavour's.

Dick in the San Francisco area—with widely scattered Classmates— ably keeps the ball rolling. Dick plans a 23 September meeting at his usual Moffett Field facility. He reported that the Dorsett's are not too well; the secretary talked with Jack to review old memories; Jack confirmed that he is not as stable and strong as in our better years, and Louise suffers some discomfort. Ran Pierce has moved to a rest home.

Ed Burns is setting up a luncheon for 19 August.

We look forward to a report of the usual good attendance. We would hope the fine San Diego luncheons would attract members from a hundred miles around.

Many of us live too far from luncheon concentrations. To reach one group of these, John Crumpacker wrote to our Supply Corps members, producing a good response from Sid Freeberg for the September issue; now we have another good one, this time from Peyt Callaway, with whom we had had no recent contact. Peyt writes: Are you planning a Supply Corps spectacular?

Last month I had a note from a Supply Corps top gun asking me to report on my life after retirement, and talk about, among odier things, songs I may have composed. Well, I am working on my swan song but I don't have it orchestrated yet.

In past years I have sent in bits for the Class annals. (Secr'y: He attached an interesting clipping

Lynn Metsger, Estelle Needham, Elynor Brown and Jack Crowley

Shipmate, October 1993

from a Sfiipmate of 1984.) To summarize, my active duty stretch hit an early end when die medical Board sacked me in December 1940. The Supply Corps staggered but recovered.

I started a happy 30 year advenmre in Defense/ Aerospace, ending (mandatory) on my 65th birUiday. In the ensuing 20 years I have had two more flings in industrial enterprise. The second was in micrographics and lasted 3 years, until the firm merged with an outfit in San Diego and disappeared.

My wife Rudi, an avid golfer, is delighted with her superb new set of Callaway (no kin!) irons. I rejected golf during my formative years; incorrigible hooks and slices upset my jaunty disposition.

As die American era grows ever more and more disunited I wonder whatever happened to the valueworld we grew up in. The new cultural politics of race, class and gender have swamped the moral breakwater that once protected the equality of the individual.

As to longevity, I haven't checked out yet but I have a ticket on the last train out.

Cordially. Peyt RS. We like your light philosophy, Peyt.

We got a nice letter from Helen Leverton, too: I've now moved to a "Continuing Care Retirement Community," a brand new place named Glenaire in Cary. N.C.I already like it, a 2 bedroom cottage closer to one of our daughters, and an hour closer to the airport for my many jaunts. (I took 9 trips last year, not all by air!) Expect to spend 3 weeks in September in Greece and Italy—so the rocking chair hasn't caught me yet!

We hope one of Helen's forthcoming jaunts lands in Washington on a coed Class Luncheon Day at the Chevy Chase Club.

Ralph Cullinan sends us an April picmre of George Peckham visiting him at San Antonio. He and Dora were delighted to see George looking so well.

We have been talking on the telephone with our enthusiastically supportive Dick Steere, who is enjoying recovery from a skin repair on his shin—a difficult area. Dick had been in hospital, in the infirmary, and finally is at home. We rejoice that he has reported going out with his visiting son.

Easy Stewart has been on the sick list; he rejoined his bridge group early August. We hesitate to report that some years ago, the first day Easy played with this group, the first hand. Easy opened the bidding with SEVEN SPADES! He had a laydown seven spades hand! The writer wouldn't believe such a tall tale under any other circumstances, but he was one of the players.

It is sad to pass the report from son-in-law Al Gale that Jean Hill died 30 July, three days after a knee replacement. The Class is grateful for the services of Andy and Jean, mainstays for the Class in San Diego for years; and producers of our fine West Coast 60th in Escondido, April 1991. Interment is to be in the Naval Academy Cemetery, to join Andy.

We must also pass on the report of the 29 December '92 death of Carol Moore, widow of J. Robert Moore. Daughter Cindy Long of West Chester, Penna., updated us.

And Margery Vredenburgh, widow of our Jim, died 13 August; she had been living in Vero Beach.

Jim had died in September 1988. Son Michael Vredenburgh passed us the word.

We must apologize to Jane Dunn for the late appearance of good Bill's obituary, which we understand is in the system for September as we write this.

We are embarrassed when our efforts misfire, as in this case. We didn't check to assure that our writeup was going through the system on schedule.

Having heard that there are big doings at our Alma Mater following Plebe Summer, called "Parents' Weekend," and curious, we sent a reporter to find out about it. Nobody did anything like that for our parents when we hesitantly ventured into the Yard and then Bancroft Hall 66 years ago. His report: It must be popular with families; hotel rooms were unobtainable, and traffic and parking were

Andy and Jean Hill a few years ago

tight. Friday morning the families assembled in the beautiful Alumni Hall for comments by Superintendent Tom Lynch '64, and to meet the Department Heads who had most to do with the new Plebes. The hall was darkened and we saw a movie of the summer activities—obstacle crossing, cargo net climbing, shooting, marching-it looked like Marine boot training. But add sailing and rowing. Friday evening dinner with die Plebes in King Hall.

Saturday a Dress Parade—the Plebes looked great and all in 6 weeks! About noontime parents saw their Plebes' rooms. They are just as austere as when '31 lived there. At this time parents met their Plebes' Company Officers, upper class leaders, and the roommates and their parents. Those upper class leaders are a new system to old grads; meeting a fine group of leaders one concludes it's a great system.

How about the drill instructors? It wasn't clear whether they were as rough as the fine lieutenants who whipped us into shape.

Sunday chapel. The samefineChapel we remember, closing with Eternal Fattier. After chapel liberty for the Plebes; indeed after the six weeks with no leave at all there was plenty of afternoon and evening liberty the diree days of Plebe Weekend.

It's obvious some things have changed, but we think the tone and principles are the same. Maybe better than what we sentimentally recall Uuough rosy clouds.

How do die Plebes feel about it all at this point?

Interviews were mixed, but spirits seemed high.

One laughing young woman midshipman was emphatic: "I love it here."

Back to the secretary. He is happy with his task; even when things are a-gley (as aft they gang). He promises to keep going until he's seriously impeded, but he would like to have a backup who can become familiar with the Class records, and continue secretarial services when needed. (He insists he's in perfect health, but it would be well to have someone who knows where the files are buried.) It would be convenient to have a backup in the Washington-Annapolis area, but not necessary. Onetime secretaries Sherry Betts, John Crumpacker and Jack Miner are uniquely capable and qualified. And how about our champion at getting around, PK Will?

From time to time we check on the Class statistics—we see that of the 441 we graduated, we count 118 among the quick. In possible addition there are four graduates for whom we cannot account: Ferrill, J. D. McCracken, Sanns, and G. R. Wilson.

Here and There With '32 A sad bit of news from Mrs. Barbara (Quirk) Murray, jointly sent with her two sisters, Mrs. Patty (Quirk) Lester and Phyllis "Susie" Quirk, informed us that their mother, Jean Quirk, widow of that wonderfully rambunctious. New Jersey red-head, "P.D." Quirk, passed away on 29 June 1993 in Port Charlotte, Fla., after a brief bout with cancer. Memorial services were held for her on 3 July 1993.

Barbara commented that, although her mother had lived in Florida for over 30 years, her heart was still in Coronado, which she adored. Jean often mentioned that she thoroughly enjoyed her career and life as a Navy wife, helping "RD." and taking everything in stride.

We lost our extrovert "P.D." Quirk way back on 2 December 1981, but he was well known to your Secretary in the summer of 1928 as one of his roommates in a four-man room on the ground floor of the old Third Batt Wing. The other two were Lou Bryan and Dave Kinert. It was a great growing up period, although Lou Bryan was a mature individual even in those early days, with three years at the University of Kenmcky behind him.

An outgoing cheerful Classmate who your Scribe once relieved as ComDesRon FIVE, you could always count on "RD." for a cheery, welcome greeting.

Now his sailing partner has departed on a cruise to join him but we can remember them through their three daughters. Our sincere condolences to all the remaining members of the Quirk family and best wishes for smooth sailing in future years.

A call from Mrs. John S. "Rosamond" Lewis gave us the good word that after over 20 years in the Westchester Apartments on Cathedral Avenue in Washington, D . C , she was moving to a lovely little house located at 18 Central Avenue, Camden, Maine, 04843 in the near future. The hot month of July was evidently too much for her and she stated that she felt that she would prefer the cold winters of Camden to any more Washington hot spells. Camden, Maine, and its sturdy little bungalow has been her summer retreat for many years; hence it is not a complete change of pace.

Rosamond Cole Mowrer was a newspaper woman and foreign correspondent who met and married our Jack Lewis in 1949 shortly after her rettirn from Saigon. She continued her writing and for years edited the Westchester Club Bulletin. We lost our talented Jack Lewis in 1973, after he had to take an early physical retirement in the late '50's. However, Jack never quit. On retiring he became Executive Director of the fledgling Naval Reserve Association (NRA) and, thanks to his unusual ardor, know-how and various abilities, built that organization into a strong and powerful representative group for Reserve Officers. Probably the culmination of Jack's post-

65

retirement career, was his receiving the Distinguished Public Service Awardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Navy's highest honor given to civilians. Rather belatedly, and thanks to Rosamond, we are showing a picture of Jack Lewis taken shortly before his forced retirement.

The period 30 June to , ^ _ l ,- 5 July brought forth a V X i^B great trip to Pensacola, Fla., for Eddie and your Scribe, to enjoy the extravaganza of the 50th Anniversary of NAS Whiting Field.

Whiting Field is by far and away the Navy's largest Training Field with separatefieldsfor helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. It was named for Eddie's father, Capt. Kenneth Whiting '05. Capt. Ken Whiting was one of the very early Naval Aviators who actually received hisfirstorders to report to Dayton, Ohio, and contact a man named Orville Wright forflightinstruction. He later was a leading and forceful proponent of the developoment of carriers in the Navy.

It was a great occasion for a reunion with our own children and various cousins from all over the country. Capt. Jim Eckert, Commanding Officer of Whiting Field at the time, made everyone gloriously welcome and at home. All were sorry that we couldn't delay our departure for another four days and see the

move back to their old home territory. Their new address is: Mansiones de Garden Hills. Apt. 13 J, Guaynabo, Puerto Rico 00966, 809 292-9663. We wish them smooth sailing and a very comfortable existence in their new digs.

demonstration of the BLUE ANGELS of which Capt.

Jim Eckert was once a member. For general info Whiting Field is located at Milton, Fla., about 30 miles from Pensacola, but it also has eight satellite or outlying fields for training purposes.

The visit to Pensacola gave one an opportunity to have lunch with Dot and Tut Tuttle, that true stalwart of Pensacola, and again visit their lovely Warrenton, Fla., home which they built back in 1951. Dot and Tut are infineshape but Father Time is taking his toll, and they are actively clearing the way to move into Azalea Trace, a lovely Retirement Home in Pensacola.

A phone call to Owen Fang, our other Classmate in Pensacola, indicated that he and Allison are breezing along infineshape in their lovely home on Huron Drive with no immediate intentions of moving.

Any visit to Pensacola for us would be incomplete without contacting and dining with Cathy and Flack Logan '63. Flack Logan retired after completing two outstanding years in command of the LEXINGTON, our then training carrier in Pensacola. While CO. he was accepted as a true resident of the city. He is now manager of a large legal office, a member of the Pensacola City Council, and the honcho of a half hour Sunday evening TV program. All of which proves that you can't keep a good man down.

Not content with one trip, the period 23-25 July was a time for your Secretary to attend the First Reunion of NORRIS (DD-859) in Somerset, N.J. It was a splendid reunion with a lot offirstoccasion problems, but as the first Commanding Officer at its conmiissioning on 8 June 1945, just before the end of the war, one was treated like a rare antique. One attendee, when told about the commissioning date commented, "That was the day I was born."

NORRIS stayed in commission for over 25 years, so it had a lot of crew members and fourteen skippers during its active service. Most of those present knew very few others present, but all had a rare old time swapping lies and showing off albums of pictures.

Our diminutive Classmate Juan Domenech and his lovely wife Marina, after sampling the many attributes of Fleet Landing in Atlantic Beach, Fla., felt the Call of the Wild, or perhaps it was just the call of Puerto Rico, with their many friends, son, grandchildren and old familiar haunts. They decided to 66

The Konrads and Harringtons in Califomia

Our distinguished President, Don Thomas, graciously sent me a picture of three Classmates trying to skate (at lease two are trying) in an era circa 1930.

On the back it was labeled Charlie Musgrave, Rex Little and (?) but by comparing pictures of other occasions it was felt that they are truly CharUe Weschler, Wm. BB Lyons and Jerome Murphy. They are Classmates, but you can make your own decision as to the true identities. Then let your scribe know your decision.

We have a nice carry-over picture that Dee and Paul Harrington made to the wine country of Cal-

ifomia when they visited Anne and Ed Konrad. All four lookfitand ready to charge.

A delightful letter from Janet Stuart pointed out an error in our Class Directory. The name of Mrs. William C R Bellinger, Jr. is listed among the widows of 1932, but that fine lady belongs to the Class of 1933.

Our candidate from '32 was George L. Bellinger who was lost in February 1942. He was officially reported to be missing in action when the plane of which he was the pilot, a unit of VB-5 failed to return from an attack on the Japanese Mandated Islands.

George married Miss Lois Robinson of Glen Falls, N.Y., shortly after graduation and they had two sons, John R. Bellinger and Richard Bellinger. The oldest, John, graduated with the Class of 1956.

Thanks to our excellent Naval Academy Directory one was able to contact John, who lives in nearby Virginia, and he came back with a very warm reply. His mother (or parents) now reside in Arizona and can be reached at the following address: Frank and Lois (Bellinger) Starbuck, 13226 Gaucho Drive, Sun City West, Ariz. 85375, 602 584-1761.

Lois Bellinger remarried in 1946 to a wonderful man she had grown up with in Glens Falls, N.Y, a veteran who spent his war years in the Army Air Corps. Hence, for some widows, there is a happy ending despite tragedy earlier in their life. John Bellinger also stated that he owes a debt of gratitude to the Class of 1932 for helping get him into the Academy in 1952. Maureen Richards and Margaurite Carpenter were the only links outside of his mother, who could tell him about his dad, but John stated that he read his father's letters and suspects that that is where his penmanship had its origins.

Got a terrific letter from Don Thomas commenting on the San Diego scene. Interestingly, he noted that the natives are quieting down for the season with the "Zonies," the Arizona and Texas crowd who are here to cool off. It culminates on Labor Day when the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club holds its annual "Trash Bash" dinner dance to bid them farewell.

He stated that Lloyd Mustin was out to San Diego the previous week for the remarriage of his granddaughter Corinne, daughter of Douglas's oldest daughter It was a delightful, informal, outdoor ceremony overlooking Wind and Sea Beach in La Jolla.

Uniform of the day was Aloha shirts, and some of the younger guests even wore shoes. The groom's men wore sandals. Everything was perfectly logical.

The new groom is an ardent surfer and sailor; hence the nautical motif.

After a weekend Father's Day celebration down in Ensenada, Baja California, Lloydflewhome. Lloyd's next wedding trip will be in July when his grandson, John Mustin, Hank and Lucy's youngest son, is to be married in Pensacola. Fittingly enough the reception will be at the Mustin Beach Officer's Club.

John Mustin is a Lt. (jg) stationed on the cruiser ViNCENNES in San Diego and the bride-to-be is a lovely Internal Revenue Service lady working in San Diego. However, the parents are Pensacola types; hence that locale for the nuptials.

Florida has lost, but California has gained, a great duo. Living since 1974 in Kissimmee, Fla., Margaret and Harry Lockwood have moved West and taken up residence at: 221W Drummond Ave., Ridgecrest, Calif., 93555, 619 373-4211. The reasons are very basic. Daughter Carol L. Wilcher and her husband Gordon live there, plus three granddaughters: Ginny Lee, Bonnie and Nancy who, while not always there, treasure that as home.

No one has ever accused Louise and Modoc Sunderland of being staid and retiring in their vacation travel plans. Others might sit on their easy chairs watching TV, or, take a well ordered cruise, but that has never been the forte of these two characters.

This year, the day after our joint May Army-Navy '32 luncheon in Annapolis, Louise and Modoc took Shipmate, October 1993

off on another safari in their aging VW Camper.

Heading south in their trusty camper (it wouldn't dare break down with Modoc at the helm) they covered 8,095 miles on their trip to Guatemala and rettim.

It took 12 days down and, after four days there, they started the long 12 day trek back. Even the Sunderlands admitted that that wasn't a very efficient use of time, but there were no real problems and they saw some interesting sights.

Driving 4,000 miles over Mexican roads is not for the timid, but it is workable. They stayed at 10 State Parks, and of the many motels South of the Border, they highly recommend St. Miguel de Allende in Mexico as the cream of the crop: charming, comfortable, cheap and friendly. Unfortunately Modoc didn't state exactly where the Miguel de Allende is located.

Contact him for details.

Tom Moorer brought us up to date on the Washington poUtical scene with his usual incisive and intuitive observations. John Ramee had recently spoken to George Wendleburg, who advised that his wife, Eleanore, had died on 22 June 1993. Our condolences to George.

John Ramee participated in the 350th anniversary of the arrival of Johan Prinz, a Swede, in North America and his establishment of New Sweden, with Prinz as Governor The Swedish Society of Pennsylvania sponsored this event with John as Captain of the Color Guardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all this happening at Tinicum Island on which the Philadelphia Intemational Airport is now located, and the spot where Prinz landed.

Harry Rumble received a note from Larry Kuhn advising that his wife, Fran, died on 22 June 1993.

Fran had played a prominent role in civic affairs of California's Antelopie Valley and in Palmdale receiving many honors and recognition. Our condolences to Larry.

The San Diego Group met for lunch at the Admiral Kidd Club on 10 July with Gamon, Macpherson and Stuart attending. Peter Q. Davis, son of our own N. B. (Jeff) Davis, is the founder and head of the Bank of Commerce, which is soon to merge with the Bank of Coronado. Peter's mother, Diki, said "he was always good in math" when he attended Coronado High School. Well done, Peter!

Joe Koenig and Ward Hardman alerted us to the fact that Capt. Stephen Jurika, Jr. USN (Ret.) died on 15 July 1993 of cancer in Menlo Park, Calif. Steve retired from the Navy in 1962 and forged a brilliant second career in academia receiving a Ph.D. degree from Stanford University, eventually becoming a Hoover Research Fellow at the same institution.

Steve is survived by his wife, Lillian, of 7927 Caledonian Drive, San Jose, Calif. 95135, 3 daughters and 2 grandchildren. See Last Call.

Tom Long and Henry Rumble attended the annual Alumni Barbecue in Santa Barbara on 17 July.

This event is sponsored by the Santa Barbara chapter of the USNA Alumni Association. Chick King visited his two sons and their families in Los Alamos, Calif., during August. Highlight of his visit was the wedding of his granddaughter (Teresa Elaine), the offspring of Chick's older son, Chuck, and his wife Linda, to Peter A. Price of Paso Robles, Calif. The wedding at St. Mark's Church in Los Olivos was very colorful. Afterwards 300 guests attended a reception in the garden of Matteis Tavern, an historic stage coach stop in California's early days. Upon his return home. Chick resumed his duties as elected Secretary of the Army and Navy Club in Washington, D.C., for his 20th consecutive year. Well Done, Chick.

The Annapolis-Washington Group held their August Luncheon at the Chevy Chase Club with Thompson, Blick, Cobb, Dawson, Erck, King, Oren, Pratt, McKibbin, Ramee, Shifley and Wright attending. A lively discussion of Amelia Earhardt's last flight during which she and her navigator, Joe Noonan, were lost, brought out a cascade of sea stories as to just what island she made her final descent. It was agreed that Howlin Island was not the spot.

Chick King takes a stroll in Los Alamos with granddaughter Casey Navy will play San Diego State Unviersity in football at San Diego on 3 September 1994. Plans are being developed to emphasize the Sea Services (Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine) and the maritime industry in San Diego over this weekend to both highlight the game and to capitalize on it.

June Week West will be held within this larger framework which will be called Homecoming West. The Naval Academy Athletic Association will have a block of 10,000 tickets for the game. Tickets will probably cost $25 each. A block of 200 rooms at $89 single or double has been reserved at the Town and Country Hotel, which is about a mile from the Jack Murphy Stadium where the game will be played.

This hotel will be headquarters for the weekend and the site of a number of June Week West activities.

Current planning for June Week West envisions numerous receptions, local tours, ship visits, golf and tennis tournaments, a pre-game rally, tailgate parties before and after the game, a dinner dance, a brunch and Class Parties from Thursday through Sunday.

Capt. Edmund H. Ellis USN (Ret.) '46 is Chairman June Week West 1994, and can be reached at PO. Box

Here's the tribute to Lilly Becker from a COBIA shipmate that had to be held over from June for lack of space until now: Capt. Becker was my commanding officer military planner naval strategist, war patrol aggressor, and protector of the ship and her crew. He commanded COBIA onfivepatrols and was an aggressive defender of democracy. He took the war to the enemy and he sank 13 of their ships. He "sailed in harm's way" but we felt safe and secure with complete confidence in his ability to gel us out of trouble. And he did, from depth charges, aerial bombs, surface gunfire, rammings, fire and chlorine, Capt, Becker was from Mississippi and never lost his southem manner, accent, or respect for ladies.

We called him "Flash," but never to his face. I don't know how he got the name but it seemed tofit,especially when he was on periscope making an attack.

Since that war the crew of COBIA has been able to maintain a close relationship with each other and Captain Becker was the binding factor in this esprit de corps. He knew wives, he understood our family problems, and he advised us on personal matters.

We could call him at home just to pass the time of day. He was friend, father advisor and a superb listener The captain often spoke of his two families, his own children and grandchildren and his COBIA family. We had a family reunion for him with both families and he was overwhelmed. At ship reunions arguments, discussions, and disagreements were frequent. To settle any problems we asked the Captain, His memory was perfect. He could answer all questions with names, dates, events and results. As a historian he was truly unique.

Capt. Becker died Christmas Eve 1992. His first family was there, at his side to offer their love and support. His COBIA family was hoping for his recovery; waiting, remembering his strengdi, those times he had won the battle, and the indomitable spirit that had never failed him before.

Sleep in peace. Captain, We love you.

Navy will play San Diego State in football at San Diego on 3 September 1994 and June Week Westâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; called Homecoming West for 1994â&#x20AC;&#x201D;will be held at that time with a very full schedule of activities to be published in the May Shipmate. Navy will have a block of 10,000 game tickets available on a firstcome, first-served basis with applications also to be mailed in May. In order for Classmates to sit together, it is highly recommended that one Classmate be designated to collect all the applications for a single submission. Since there may well be Classmates from other areas wanting to attend, his designation should be published in the Class news prior to May 1994 so that all attendees can get their requests to him. Although our 60th reunion will be at Annapolis in May, there may be enough interest in the game and Homecoming West to set up another in San Diego/ Coronado in September, especially with so many kinds of activities available. If so, the Town and Country Hotel in San Diego has blocked rooms for Homecoming West at $89 single or double per night.

The overall Chairman for Homecoming West is Ed Ellis '46, PO. Box 8394, Victorville, Calif. 92392, Phone 619 243-1885. Will our local group please consider taking over coordination of '34 game tickets and reunion?

Former President Jimmy Carter '47 was in Paraguay in May as a witness for that country's national elections, which the ruling party won with about 40% of the vote when two other candidates split the opposition vote (shades of our 1992 election). John Wiley met him at an embassy reception and got a picture of Carter autographing page 133 of John's Golden Lucky Bag, which reproduces his and Marriner Bertholfs signatures on Carter's oath of office as a Midshipman in 1943.

The Secretary of the Association of USNA Color Girls sent me a 1933 June Week photo of our Color Girl, Sally Mumma (Mike's sister), with her husband Brooks Harral '32. Sally still looks pretty darned good.

John Harilee and I attended the Naval War College Strategy Forum in mid-June. The program was both interesting and informative and running into old friends from other times and places added to the enjoyment. John had other engagements but I met Brown Taylor and John McGoff for a pleasant dinner one night. Brown was just back from the annual reunion of his wartime DD, CONYNGHAM, and a bit worn. John was so busy running his four corporations that he hasn't had time to winter at his Marco Island place in Florida for several years. Sid Merrill couldn't make the dinner but we had a phonecon the next day. Said he was getting back to shape physically and that his recently divorced daughter was moving in with him to provide mutual company so things should be looking up. All three are looking forward to the 60th next May. Charlie Blick '33 provides a slight clue as to the source of the lovely blue and gold '34 crest run in Alurrmi House. It is Chinese in origin and he has one just like it in the '33 crest. His was bought for him by John Bottoms '35, who went to the Asiatic Fleet after graduation from Supply School, along with Charlie and our John Kearns. Who were our Asiatic veterans of that time? Was one of them the unknown donor?

Russ Maynard writes that Rule and he recently drove down to Charleston, S.C, Savannah and Thomasville, Ga. The last stop was to visit Pebble Hill Plantation, where Rule's mother had visited as a girl in 1903. The managers were fascinated when Rule broke out the snapshots her mother had taken, then quickly borrowed for reproduction for the historical records. Russ added that they were both "keeping medically neutral," but they noticed that every time they drove past a retirement nursing home, their car automatically slowed down.

Mary and Ed Powell have moved to a new address 68

of 10101 Arabian Trail, Casabella #1083, Scottsdale, Ariz. 85258, 602 048-3607. Maybe they've been seeing too much of Aladdin lately. Anyhow, Ed says that their six grandchildren keep them busy, along with Mary's activity in real estate referrals, and that they are keeping well. They hope that their next move will be back to Coronado, but no word on when that might be.

This letter is from Mary V. (Mrs. Allen) Moore and family, addressed to the Class: I received a note that the USNA Class of 1934 has made a contribution to the Talbot Hospice in Allen's memory. We thank you for your thoughtfulness and caring. This is a wonderful organization for terminally ill patients which helped us so much in our time of need.

In Allen's things I found this little note: "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." You all have proved the meaning of those words and we're grateful for all your help, A note from Orilee (Bill Robbins' widow) says, "When I sell my house I plan to go to Seoul to teach Conversation English at a language institute. Before you wonder, they don't want non-American educated teachers. The students read and write English but don't know how to speak the language." (RCS note: She really means "American" rather than "English," for there is a huge difference.) She added that her two children are doing well. Janet is a lawyer living in Reno, with offices there and in Las Vegas. Richard is in Olympia, Wash., near where he grew up in Bremerton and very happy.

Frances, widow of John (Gabby) Gabbert, died at home in McLean, Va., on 14 July 1993. Funeral services were held at St. John's Catholic Church in McLean on 20 July, followed by burial at Arlington National Cemetery with Gabby, who had died in January 1980. She is survived by three sons: John, Thomas, and Stephen; daughter Nora Minnies; and sister Irene Fox. Class representatives attending the funeral services and expressing the condolences of the Class were Wy Packard, George Powell, and Jeff Parker's son, Bill. Those attending the services at the funeral home the evening of 19 July included: Phyllis and Rod Badger, Ida Mary and Lou Detweiler, Bill Parker, and Virginia (widow of Wool Taylor) and her husband, Daniel Thornhill.

Tripping seems to be in vogue for many '35ers. In April, Gwen and Jesse Gay from Falls Church, Va., went to the Far East to introduce Gwen to the Orient and to give Jesse a chance to revisit some of his old haunts. They flew to, and spent several days in, Bangkok and then on to Singapore to catch a 20-day cruise North stopping at various ports in Malaysia, Vietnam and China. At Tienjin, China they took a bus to Beijing where they spent several days before flying to Hong Kong and then home. An unexpected and very pleasant development for the Gays was in

Swede Westin in San Francisco Pat and Johnny Becker from Palm City, Fla., took a trip in May to Israel to see the Holy Land. Also in May, Jay and Swede Westin from Hendersonville, N.C, flew out to San Francisco for the 30 May annual memorial service at Lands End for those killed in action in SAN FRANCISCO (CA-38) in the early hours of 13 November 1942 in the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. The memorial had a new plaque listing those wounded aboard SAN FRANCISCO in the same battle. Seven of those so wounded, including Swede, attended this years service and were asked to say a few words about their wounding. (Swede lost two fingers from his left hand and his left knee joint was permanently locked.) The picture herewith shows Swede standing along side the new plaque. The "Retirement Time" cap he is wearing was given to him by his daughter-in-law just before he and Jay left on this trip. It contained a battery driven clock including a second hand which pointed to instructional phrases between numbers saying at 2-"go fishing," 3 "Reminisce," 6-"Chase Grandma," 7-"Go Hunting," 9-"Play Golf," and 10-"Travel." Swede wore the cap throughout the trip and everyone seeing it Shipmate, October 1993

Shipmate, October 1993

Had a wonderful phone visit with Vlnce Combs on 5 August when he called to inquire about one of our friends. Said Bunny and he were both well and still enjoying their life in San Antonio's Air Force Village U and looking forward to a "Beat Army!" day this year, so they could get even with all their Army/ Air Force neighbors after last year's unexpected last minute one-point victory by Army.

We had a most enjoyable visit at an Old Town Cafe with Ginny and Harry Stark and Ginny's sister Mildred Allen, back in early August. Ginny and Harry were enroute home to Coronado following their annual beach vacation at Rehobeth. If your ears were ringing on 2 August, you now will know it was because we were hearing about what had taken place during the past year on the West Coast. It was great seeing both, but we wish they could have stayed East a little bit longer. The luncheon visit went by too fast to absorb news about all the activities of the Southern Califomia '36 Clan.

Speaking of football, a letter (21 July) from Ed Ellis '46, Chairman of the June Week West '94 Committee, advised that Navy is going to play San Diego State University in San Diego on 3 September 1994.

Plans are thus being developed to emphasize the Sea Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marineâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the maritime industry in San Diego during that weekend to the extent that it both highlights the game and capitalizes on it. Hence, June Week West '94 will be held within this larger framework and will be called HOMECOMING WEST. Initial planning is therefore directed toward publicizing the game and the weekend among the many commands and organizations within the Sea Services Community (Active-Reserve-Retired) and the local maritime industry with the objective of recognizing these organizations, maximizing attendance at the game, and providing a strong support to our Navy team. To this end, the USNA Athletic Association will have a block of 10,000 tickets that will probably cost about $24 each, depending upon the drawing power of San Diego State. Ticket applications, with a June Week West '94 Flyer, will be mailed by the Association in May 1994 to all Association members and Alumni living in the Western Area. Additionally, the JWW '94 Committee has reserved a block of 200 rooms at $89 (single or double) at the Town & Country Hotel near the stadium, which also will be the JWW '94 headquarters and central point for all events to be held as part of Homecoming West.

Sounds like a wonderful time is in store for all who attend. For those of you who may be considering going, now is the time to make your plans because already three Classes have indicated they will hold mini-reunions and 100 of the rooms have been so allocated. We therefore strongly suggest you write to Capt. Edmund H. Ellis, USN (Ret.), RO. Box 8394, Spring Valley Lake, Calif. 92392 and advise him of your intentions to take part in the events that are being planned and your hotel room requirements so that the JWW '94 Committee can plan accordingly and ensure that no one planning to attend is without accommodations.

Jim Coddington's letter (31 July) came as a surprise among those received in response to our many pleas for news. Jim wrote, that in early July, enroute to visit a cousin in northern Arkansas he had contacted Maxine Lovell, widow of our Classmate and Jim's long-time friend during Academy, PG School, and CEC days, in El Reno, Okla., and had had a most enjoyable three-day visit getting reacquainted and revisiting some of the happiest periods of their lives.

Said Jim: " . . . I was delighted to find Maxine to be very lovely and extremely attractive, full of life, and busy with her many interests, not at all ready to let Father Time catch up with her. All in all, it was a most pleasant visit for both of us after 31 years of separation." Jim concluded his letter by saying he would be in Jacksonville, Fla., on the Labor Day weekend 69

attending the wedding of his # 1 grandson, Robin Burk, who'd just completed five years of general surgery, and that in mid-October he'd be in Parkersburg, W.Va., for the wedding of Robin's younger brother Eric, his # 3 grandson. "Aside from that," said Jim, "my health problems all appear to be under control, and 1 can truly say that life in Austin is great, although it is pretty hot right now." Thanks Jim for your newsy letter and our best wishes for your continued good health.

Another surprise among the responses to our laments for news was a wonderful newsy letter from Frederick J. Vogel, the Charge d'Affairs ad interim at the U.S. Embassy in Vientiane, Laos. Regretfully, space limitations do not permit us to share his whole letter with you, but herewith are ex-excerpts taken from his news of interest to '36ers: I am writing in response to your lament in the June '93 Sfiipmate that you had no news to report except that from the Editor I am a member of the Class of '65, but I would like to pass on to you and die Class of '36 some subsequent news about your Classmate and my father, Raymond 'Sully' Vogel and members of our family.

My father was a stalwart on the football and wrestiing teams (at the Academy) and became one of the Navy'sfinestAviators (who) served with distinction during World War II. He was killed in August 1950 in action over Korea for which he was awarded the Navy Cross. Then a Commander he left behind a wife and five small children, including myself and my two brothers and sisters.

My mother, Clair O'Neill Vogel, returned (home) to Annapolis to raise the children. All three sons in time graduated from the Service Academies: the oldest. Bill, with USNA '62, next Tim, with West Point '65, and I . . . with USNA '65. Tim and I graduated the same day, with my mother attending both ceremonies through Ihe aid of the dien First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson. Bill went into the nuclear submarine program and served a full career during which he built from the keel up and commanded GROTON, He is now working with the nuclear power industry in the Northeast, Tim went into Navy aviation after West Point andflewhigh performance aircraft for a full career He is now a lawyer in Annapolis with the State Attorney General's office. My younger sister, Jamie Harlan Vogel Fallon, is a stock broker in Annapolis. I went into the Marine Corps after graduation, serving seven years on active duty and twenty-some as a Reservist. Both Tim and I served several tours of duty in Vietnam. We lost our sister Clair when she was only a child of twelve.

Bill, Tim, Jamie, and I all married and raised families, honoring our parents with twelve grandchildren and one (so far) great-grandchild . . . My mother Clair remarried in 1966, with RAdm, Francis D. Foley '32, also a Naval Aviator, [and] we happily gained a sister, Josephine Drake, in exchange. They retired in Annapolis in 1972 and lived happily diere in our childhood home on Shipwright Street for many years. Mother passed away in 1984 and Francis is still very involved in the Academy and Class of '32 activities in and around the Annapolis area.

I am now a career Foreign Service Officer [in the Embassy here in Vientiane] and one of our highest priorities is resolution of the Vietnam era POW/MIA issue here. Over 5(K) cases still remain outstanding, almost all aviators. We here are doing everything humanly possible to resolve this unhappy issue. I hope this information will be of interest because despite the passage of time, through my father we all still feel a special affinity for USNA Class of '36.

Thanks Fred for your letter with news of the "Sully" Vogel family. We wish you success in your career and in your POW/MIA efforts.

Keep in touch and let us know of your whereabouts as you go from assignment to assignment in the Foreign Service Corps.

In closing, we regret to say that just as we were about to seal up the envelope to carry this news copy to Shipmate, a phone call from Tom Reed in Annapolis reported the death of Roz Neyman, Bob's wife, at her home in Huntington Beach, Calif. We have no

70

details but we understand that following a service in their local church, Roz was inumed in its adjacent cemetery. Besides Bob, survivors include three sons, Russell, Roger, and Roy; three daughters, Constance Unger, Katherine St. Vincent Schwartzberg, and Shirley N. Atkins; and three grandchildren. To them we express our deepest sympathy in their loss of a loved one. Classmates and the many friends of the Neyman family may send their personal notes of condolence to the home address: 6892 Rio Vista Drive, Huntington Beach, Calif. 92647.

That's it for now. In the meantime, keep pluggin' for a "Beat Army!" year.

They were so lovely and lifted my spirits enormously.

The outpouring of love and understanding from Jack's Classmates was wonderfully comfortingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but that's what '37 Classmates have always been like.

Keep Revvin' for '37! With my love, Ray Our Joe Dodson is gravely ill with cancer He sends this note dated 20 July: "During my illness I have received many cards, letters, and phone calls from Classmates and friends. These have been most heart warming and greatly appreciated. It is not possible for me to thank each individual personally for remembering me, but I do want everyone to know how very much their communications and prayers have meant to me. Thanks so very, very much. Sincerely, Joe. We lost Kay and Gerry Joyce on 22 and 24 July, respectively, in the same Norfolk hospital. Kay had taken care of Gerry through a succession of strokes, complications, and declining health since May of 1985 at great cost to her own health. A severe stroke took her out and Gerry just ran out of resistance. A Mass of Resurrection on 29 July at the Fort Story First Landing Chapel united family members: Gerald R Joyce III '65, Kathleen and David Robinson '65(son of our Jesse Robinson), Marian Gigot (Gerry's sister), and Class types: Mary and Walt Barry, Ed Hessel, Becky Ingling, Betty Kelly, Patty and Roger Mehle, Guy Narter, and Cynthia Pridmore. The family participated impressively in the ceremony of the Mass, and the Mehles did the eulogies, Patty for Kay and Roger for Gerry. On 30 July their ashes were inurned at the USNA Columbarium with family members Kathy and David Robinson and Marian Gigot escorting, and with Morgan Baldwin, Dave Bell, Jim Cruse, Charlie Dodds, Peg and Paul Hartmann, Bill Mack, Mary and Charlie Minter, Ade Rich, and Walt Stencil representing our Class. It was all a proper show of respect for a couple that had done much and endured much.

On 8 July the Washington lunch gathering drew Don Baer, Fog Blasdel, Jim Cruse, Bill Fey, Ed Finney, Paul Hartmann, Fred Janney, Wes Steesy, and Chuck Stein. They cooked up no new schemes for the rest of us to ignore.

On 8 July a note from Gene Rankin from Coronado Cays, Calif., reports: Eloise and I were traveling again in April, this time in the United States. We stopped in San Marcos, Texas, to see my number two daughter, Peggy, and her husband. She teaches in S.E. Texas State College and he is principal of the high school, San Marcos is a very nice community in the middle of the Bible Belt where Ihe noon meal is called dinner and the evening meal is supper

Ellie Wildt, Ginny (Ball) Bailey, Vic Wildt, Margie Phaler, Claude Bailey '34; Maui Next we went to Pensacola to the Golden Eagles Convention, Most of those fellows were aboard carriers during WWII and the roster read like who's who in Naval Aviation, Some of the older birds have left us but there are plenty left, Paul Hartmann, Charlie Minter, Don White, Ralph Cousins (Who I had not seen in a coon's age), and Bill Gilkeson were in attendance, Eloise and I had lunch with Lib and Ace Barton, We spent a week in Annapolis seeing Eloise's offspring and grandkids. Played golf (poorly) with Charlie Minter and donated thirty cents to his welfare. Had lunch at the Faculty Club and chatted widi Shipmate, October 1993

Ethel and Fred Janney. Also had cocktails widi Curly and Tom Adams.

After about a month at home, we flew to Alaska and did the Anchorage-Denali Park-Fairbanks land tour and then boarded the STAR PRINCESS for a look at Glacier Bay. Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan, and Vancouver A marvelous trip! What Mr Seward paid a Hide over seven million dollars for might be die greatest purchase the US, Government ever made.

Great to be home again in our vacation home.

Warm regards. Gene Swampy Lajaunie reports on wanderings he and Jean have done recently: Here's latest on die Lajaunie's wanderings.

We decided to see some of the western parts of the United States, so we took two TAUCK tours, the first dealing with the state of Colorado. Departed Florida by air to Denver where we started our first tour. We visited the Air Force Academy and then on to Royal Gorge and Mesa Verde National Parks.

Rode the narrow gauge railroad from Durango to Silverton. Enjoyed aridedirough Colorado National Monument. We were scheduled to visit Rocky Mountain National Park (12183 ft.) but it snowed and the pass was closed.

Went on to tour Salt Lake City and had a getacquainted reception and dinner thefirstnight, Travelled North skirting the Great Salt Lake and passed through Logan Canyon, Enjoyed the beauty of Grand Tetons National Park followed by an overnight stay at Yellowstone's Old Faithful Inn and watched Old Faithful Geyser perform. Yellow Stone Canyon and Lake were a beautiful sight. Went on to die Big Hom Mountain and toured Buffalo Bill Cody's museum. Headed for the Black Hills of South Dakota and visited Mt. Rushmore National Memorial to see the carved faces of Washington, Jefferson. Roosevelt, and Lincoln, The scenery throughout was spell binding, which included mountains, canyons, gorges, and lakes.

Thank you Gene and Swampy, you almost get us outof our routine.

Homecoming West is the name to be given to the activities at the beginning of September 1994 surrounding the Navy-San Diego State football game on Saturday, 3 September. The occasion is to include all the San Diego Sea Service community: Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, and the maritime industry. The Naval Academy Athletic Association will start with a block of 10,000 tickets at about $25 each. San Diego State features a Heisman candidate in running back Marshall Faulk. Ticket applications will be mailed in May 1994, to all association members and Alumni in the Western Area. Seating will be first come, first served. Early response should permit group seating. Headquarters will be at the Town and Country Hotel, a mile from the stadium. Activities should include reception, local tours, ship visits, golf and tennis tournaments, a pregame rally, tailgating before and after the game, a dinner dance, and of course, class parties. The May, 1994, Shipmate will contain a schedule of events and application forms.

As local '37 Class representative, 1 would greatly appreciate information on who is coming and who expects to use hotel rooms in the Town and Country Hotel so I can keep the organizers and local Classmates informed.

On 10 August, the San Diego '37 Lunch Bunch met at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Officers' Club for a stag get together. Attending were: Mel Cooper, Bob Erly, Skeeta Gardes, Fill Gilkeson, Flick Hale, Bob Lander (host), Walt Phaler, Gen Rankin, Frank Shamer, Bunny Shupper, Russ Wallace, Jack Whistler, and Vic Wildt. The next gathering will be co-ed and will be hosted by Fill Gilkeson.

55th Reunion Membership: 83%

Pres., RAdm. M. H. Rindskopf USN (Ret.) Chairman, Wash. Area, Capt. H. M. Robinson USN (Ret.) Sec'y Capt. R. W. Carter SC USN (Ret.) 3118 Little Creek Lane, Alexandria, Va. 22309 (703) 780-8779 It is surely true that Shipmate is indeed more than just an Alumni magazine—it seems to me that it responds to an almost "mystic" bonding that started with Plebe year and will probably continue forever!!!

I read in the mission of Shipmate . . . "to further the aims of the U.S. Naval Academy by providing a vehicle for disseminating information among Classmates" . . . All these years 1 have enjoyed Shipmate, and now I am kind of surprised with the honor of being given the job of Secretary to the President and Class!! Mike, with Phil, Frank, and Bob Bidwell have the big job of looking after the Class business!

The By-Laws lay the responsibility on the President to manage the "business, property and funds" of the Class—no small task!! He is of course to be assisted by the Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary, who also writes up the column for Shipmate, (Carter and Ela). By terms of the By-Laws, the Secretary is also charged with (1) recording proceedings of meetings, reunions, etc., (2) maintain Class documents (less fiscal), (3) maintain an updated file of Class members, and (4) perform certain support services to the President in conduct of Class business. To do a decent job, I need you to tell me what has happened, and is happening in experiences—past, present, and maybe future plans too. Photographs—you bet— most welcome. I'll try to do my part. Maybe something that happened in a destroyer wardroom just before Coral Sea could illustrate my point. Naturally we spent our time on drills, "getting ready" for what was surely ahead . . . and one evening before dinner, the Captain announced, "Gentlemen, I think we should have an appropriate prayer before dinner." We all reverently bowed our heads and then the Captain said these seven pertinent words, "OH LORD, DON'T LET US SCREW UP!!!" Pretty appropriate don't you think? I have said those same seven little words many times in the past and now for my Class job!!!!

So be it!—Send me your good stuff to share with the Class!!!

Class Business Ahead Getting on with the business of the Class, Mike Rindskopf sets up the following for current discussion: a. Mid-term (1995) Reunion b. Increasing attendance at '38 Leadership Forum c. Succession to sponsorship of the Leadership Forum d. Increased input to Shipmate column e. Items offered by the Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary.

Worthy items indeed—seems like a good idea to talk about them when you get together. No one has a lock on the board on good ideas, and Mike says, "what do you say we do?" Just write 'em down and mail 'em in!! Sometimes pearls just need finding!!

More on the 55th Reunion Here is another page of the great pictures from Annabella DuBois of the 55th extravaganza showing the Class doing what it does so well—just enjoying each other's company. Thanks again Annabella, great shots! Notice that everyone is smiling, happy, just having a good time together!! 1 like these pics! Keep in mind our next reunion will be the mid-term (1995)—we'll keep you posted as the planning moves along. To the managers of the 55th Reunion operation, another "Class of 38 Blue Award" for their financial expertise! Incidentally, Pat Foley closed out the account with a check to our Treasurer which re71

fleeted income slightly exceeding expenses! Oh happy day—well done!!!

A Citizen reports on some '38'ers "Looks like a land of enchantment" my wife Gerry said in April of 1990 when we got our first look at Whispering Pines, N.C. . . . and we started making plans to move there. The place is a truly beautiful arrangement of lakes, hills, woods, golf courses, and we found it included a bunch of Navy types including four of our Classmates—Kitch, Muse, Reinhart and Jean Coward. What is kind of specially interesting is that one of their citizens (not Navy) decided to give me an "Annual Report" of the members of the Class of 1938—he hastens to tell me it is "unofficial." Here is what he said: We all miss Bill Kitch, He was a highly respected member of this pine community. His golf game was very good and his sense of humor was excellent!

George Muse is one of the finest gentlemen I've ever known, and continues to ply his talents of the golf course, disregarding some unfortunate—but temporary we hope—health problems. As you probably already know, he refuses to give in, but continues to lake my money on the links, Harry Mason, the latest member of '38 to join our community, has speedily acquired a lot of friends. The "Rat" refuses to give me Ihe strokes I need to keep up with him on the course. He and his delightful wife Jean are planning on an Alaskan cruise in the late Summer George Reinhart—it is people like George who will always be a credit to your Class.

72

He and his gracious wife Jane are highly regarded here. As a member of our foursome, his long and accurate drives evokes such oo's and aah's on a constant scale that we no longer say "nice shot George"; we just say "ditto." Consequently, George has become just "ditto"! The citizen reporter signed off by saying, "if the rest of the Class is typical of the Whispering Pines element, we have much to be proud." Thanks to Mr "L" for his good words of the Class! CARRY ON, Whispering Pines!!

From the San Diego Group Bob Worthinglon tells us that the San Diego group's 1 July luncheon at the Admiral Kidd club was "remarkable" in that it was most "unremarkable"!

That was because of those present, only Classmate

Shipmate, October 1993

Marion Buaas offered a "remark" for publication in Shipmate: to wit, that he and Mary Alice are going on a USNAAA-sponsored Alaskan cruise . . . and Marion "begged" that his name be spelled correctly this time—he said it was misspelled the last three times his name appeared in Shipmate'. Present were Worthinglon, Ogle, Saxten, Zimanski, Foster, Dan Henry—and as his guest, Dan brought Freddie Muir's son Bob. Bob is a LCol., USMC on duty at Camp Pendleton, with orders to duty at MCRD, San Diego. Hope is that he will find time to take Fred's place at the table in the future. Bob Worthington ends up with a note: "sometimes we are an unnewsworthy lot here in San Diego, other times we make it up as we go along." Either way is great. Bob, just keep it coming, throw in a photo or two when you can, and thanks!

Lots offinesouthem food, 'round-the-clock' music and entertainment, comfortable cabins, great scenery and Memphis with an outstanding exhibit of Napoleonic artifacts.

Bill then shifted to the Alaska Cruise for '39ers in 1994.

It's going great with 52 deposits down and many more intending to go. The Royal Cruise line has substimted the STAR ODYSSEY for the GOLDEN OD-

YSSEY. The STAR has had a recent $30 million refurbishment, has much larger rooms, and far more luxury in all respects. New room assignments will be forthcoming, Jim Coleman, whose recovery has been of great concern to '39ers everywhere, is now out walking and 1 think finally on the road to recovery after 10 weeks at Bethesda. He writes: I want to send my special appreciation for all the prayers and support we received from our '39 family during my illness. Believe me it helped. Hopefully, I'll be back on the golf course by September The '39 Washington luncheon in August welcomed Freddy Kittler and had 26 in attendance.

Freddy told of Fred Taeusch having had a stroke a month ago and now having trouble walking and a right arm (his tennis arm) not responding very well.

Then Fred's wife Cynthia broke her pelvis. So although they'd pulled clear of their Fleet Landing commitment, it now looks as though they've got to get back in as soon as possible. Freddy also told of his couple of months with Hector Davila in San Juan and that: "Hector drives the worst car you've ever seen so it won't be car-jacked. It's a rusted out piece of junk with much of the paint chipped off." When asked, "How do you get the car inspected?". Hector hemmed and hawed and finally said, "Aw, that's a hard thing to do." See photo of the Davilas and Kittlers having dinner at "Don Pepe's" restaurant, celebrating Freddy's 76th birthday. Then Freddy told about Barbara and Elmo Waring visiting him in his Ware Neck home in southem Virginia. He took Elmo along to his weekly poker game and was much embarrassed by Elmo winning most of the money. To which J. C. Lavcrence commented: "What else did Elmo do aboard his carriers except play poker?" Paul Schratz told of an Alaskan Cruise he'd just taken with all of his children, to celebrate his brother's birthday The brother, just having had a small stroke, was pretty much out of it and had to be escorted home to Pittsburgh. Paul also said that Henrietta was attending , on her birthday, the birth of their 31 st grandchild. (How's that again?) Ed Aiken had everyone signing a "Get well" card for Blackjack McBrayer, whose recent stroke has his left side damaged badly.

And that the book he was writing on his escape from the Japanese, along with Ed Huizenga, while being transferred to a new prison camp in China, was now on indefinite hold. Rhythm Moore had expected Jaime Trauger to come East for the August '39 luncheon but Jaime's gout, which had been bothering his feet and getting worse, had now spread to his hands so he couldn't play his cocktail-hour piano engagements. (The demise of NA-10 music for future '39

Shipmate, October 1993

affairs?) Danny Weitzenfeld noted that Al Cox was finally home after many weeks on the critical list.

Also that Frank Vannoy sent his regrets for not attending but that he was "walking around the neighborhood" and reported that he had stopped at Bill Ruhe's place where Bill had two daughters, one son and four small grandchildren weeding the gardens, cutting the hedge and cleaning up the lawn. And that Bill's tomatoes were doing great. "1 was much impressed by it all," said Frank.

Class Sad News Word concerning the death of Martha Ingram reached us in July, with Mike Rindskopf talking with Bill Ingram, who confirmed the sad news.

Mike asked if Bill wished to designate a charitable or religious institution to which the Class could make a memorial gift. Bill said no, he would prefer that the Class designate the institution to receive the Class of 38 gift. Accordingly, the Ingram gift was made to the U.S. Naval Academy Association. I think Bill and Martha would approve.

As you know, we lost Classmate Don Smith to a plane crash in 1945 and he was buried in a New Jersey cemetery. On 24 May of this year Don was reburied in Arlington cemetery along with his wife Margaret, who died in May of this year. From Don's brothers, Richard Smith and Senator Bob Smith we receive a card of "thanks for the beautiful flowers," on behalf of Don and Margaret. The Blue and Goldfloralpiece that the Class sends said well our feelings.

Classmate George Newton died in the course of cancer surgery in April this year. There was a memorial service in Los Altos on 22 April, with the Class remembrance in the form of the Blue and Gold floral tribute. George's wife Pat thanks the Class for the "beautiful floral arrangement." She said it was a lovely piece and included a Blue and Gold ribbon which she will keep in remembrance. She asks that we convey her deepest thanks to all who participated.

More sad news—Alec Ball tells of the death of Classmate Vernon R. Hayes after a short illness and following surgery in a hospital in Claremont, Calif.

The funeral was on 18 August in Pomona, Calif. No other details known.

And still more sad news—Gideon Millard Boyd died of cancer on 11 August 1993 in Saratoga, Calif.

We understand the memorial service will be there.

There were no other details as of date. Gid, George Muse, and 1 were Shipmates in the JO mess of NEW MEXICO (BB-40) after graduation, '38 together in happy times; now, 55 years later we say goodbye; I guess we can never get used to these sadnesses!

Class Clips About our "Class noticed characteristics"? A '38 wife from Florida says, "38ers make lots of new friends, but always cherish the old ones." Sure seems true to me!! From another Classmate comes a list of definitions attributed to the Clinton Medical Dictionary . . . here are a couple of them: Artery—the study of paintings; Bacteria—the back of a cafeteria; Barium—what doctors do when patients die; CatScan—searching for kitty! I guess that is enough of that. . . please send in your clips for the column; "firsts" of events, experiences, honors, or whatever may be particularly interesting. Until next month . . . sail on!!! What else??

Bill Fargo sent in the story on '39's MISSISSIPPI QUEEN cruise in July. Missing from the photo submitted was Willy Stiles who I'd been counting on for the details of the trip. Willy's medical problems made him a no-show. Bill Fargo writes: The cruise went very well despitefloodingthat required departure from Louisville instead of St. Louis and steaming down the beautiful Ohio rather than the Mississippi as far as Madrid, enroute to Memphis. Eighteen '39ers and friends took part, including die Deibels, John Dolan, Bamey Oldfield, Gulicks, Goulds, Keims, Muhlenbergs, and Fargos.

Bing Gillette told of uncovering letters written by Albert Einstein during WWII relative to how to improve US torpedoes. The letters, to be filed at the Keyport Underseas Museum which Bing has been promoting, include mention of a patent which he, Einstein, held with Hedy Lamarr relative to a kind of radio guidance of a torpedo. (Hedy Lamarr?) Einstein in another letter said: "1 don't want to come to Washington. There are always a few people there who want to insult me."

Flip Anderson, as promised, had an updated report on military retirees of Virginia getting a refund for taxes paid in the last few years. "The Supreme Court recognized that the State of Virginia illegally treated the taxation of military people and thus 'some appropriate compensation' for the military is indicated. But with the State out of money, we might see some form of tax credit or rebate used." Then Flip assured that he and Dave Bill had the proper forms to be used to get "adequate compensation."

As part of the entertainment, Danny asked the luncheon attendees: "How many of you would vote for the President's Budget Plan?" Not one hand was raised. Somebody muttered that "Clinton's Budget Plan was like something Fidel Castro might have ginned up." Somebody also mentioned Senator Carol Mosely-Braun's coup in having the Confederate flag logo of the Daughters of the Confederacy eliminated: "Next she'll try to prevent us from singing Dixie."

Gordy Gayle mentioned that with the repeal of the Hatch Act we might see D.C. becoming a State with Jesse Jackson and Marion Barry as its two Senators.

George Duncan said that the 55th Reunion at Homecoming will have 100 rooms reserved for '39ers at the Comfort Inn out near Bowie and that the Inn had a large, nice room for the Saturday night banquet.

The '39 column for September had gone to press when the death of Tim McCoy occurred. Tim, Captain of the Rifle Team at the Academy, was distinguished for his rifle and pistol expertise. Also he was Tom Weschler's roommate Plebe Summer: He and I met on a hot July thunderstorm day— like the classic one in 1935 when all the girls' cotton dresses shrank—to our great enjoyment. Tim was a complex, appealing individual demanding as to standards, but tougher on himself than he ever was on others. One proof that he was an individual— even after 25 years in the Navy, he never drank coffee. As you did with your rifle time and time again—BuUseye! We will sorely miss you.

A letter form Kathy Bemis enclosed a good picture of the '39ers gathered at the Fred Clarke's household for the visiting Laveta and John Parks. "We leave 27 July with the Clarkes and the Fischers for the Canadian Western National Parks, a tour to Banff, Jasper and Lake Louise and will see Richard Cady '40, and Seattle on the way."

From Laveta Parks came a good photo of Joan and Herb Cassidy visiting Laveta and John Parks in the Califomia wine country—the beautiful Napa Valley.

Herb and John were roommates at the Naval Academy and had a great time reminiscing and sipping wine. (No doubt.) We are both well and heading for Oregon, Washington and Idaho soon to visit family and friends."

Last month George Duncan slid a program for the decommissioning of RANGER ( C V - 6 1 ) in San Diego.

George is featured as a former skipper from May 1962 to May 1963. "The USS RANGER is the eighth

ship of the Navy to bear this prestigious name. The first of 18 guns was under the command of John Paul Jones in 1778 and took several ships in the Irish Sea including H.M.S. DRAKE of 20 guns." George had command of the eighth Ranger. ('39 making its contribution.)

Washington Report John Lacouture, the PALS* (*Potomac Area Lunch Survivors) mileage challenger to Constant Traveller Ed Hayes, paused in his peregrinations (sec'y now has dictionary; can spell BIG words) long enough to join and photograph the PALS* in their 11 May lunch at the Armapolis Yacht Club. He had already been to a reunion in Charleston, S.C. with VF-5 survivors of the 19 March 1945 bombing of FRANKLIN (with the loss of 900 lives!), and was enroute the June '93 Space Camp in Huntsville, Ala.; a flying visit to his daughter in Vancouver, B.C., and to various Classmates in the NW; thence to open up the Summer home in Nantucket; and, finally, a return to the Naval Air Museum on board YORKTOWN, now berthed at Patriots' Point, Charleston, for the ceremonial induction of our late beloved Mike Michaelis into the Carrier Aviation Hall of Fame. Rose will be there, accompanied by family and Classmates. Sunday am 31 October '93. Contact John Lacouture for details of motel, etc. at: 703 519-8026. John will be staying at the Shem Creek Inn, " . . . a nice place right on the river and very near YORKTOWN where the ceremony will take place . . .".

Life at the Space Camp/Academy in Huntsville was hectic for John: . . .on the l/6th gravity chair I couldjump 10-15 feet in die air, and now know what it is like to walk and leap about on the moon. In the 5° of motion chair you're tumbled forward and sideways simultaneously, so you hardly know which end is up. You get to make a couple of flights in the two model space shuttle cockpits—one in the shuttle and one in mission control. I even was the mission specialist that put on the big space suit with the ice vest (?) and did an extra vehicle job in a zero gravity chair during the flight. We built and launched rockets (??), saw all the space films . . . even went on the latest simulator that takes you to Jupiter and back in 8 minutes at the speed of light. My class was mosdy teachers and doctors in their 30s or early 40s, 1/3 gals, 2/3 men; 3 college boys, I from Japan, 2 from Sweden. We would work late, 8 to 11pm . . . Came graduation and I couldn't believe it when my Class voted me the top prize—a beautiful model space shuttle on its launch pad—I'm ready. Launch me to the MOON! . . .

After coming down from orbit John visited Pablo Paul for a few days of rest in Sewanee, Tenn. His model space shuttle trophy was presented to the Shipmate, October 1993

Bill Carpenter, Paul Desmond and the sec'y paid Mrs. Johnson and daughter Virginia a visit at the Johnson home in North East Washington, D.C. James had spoken very little about his eight months survival at the Naval Academy. He had been one of 174 young men to be separated out during the first year (1936/1937). More than a hundred more left the Class of 1940 during the next year. During WWII he served with the Army Air Force in Sicily as a member of the famed Tuskeegee Airmen. The Johnsons celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last year; James had been a naval architect at the naval facility in Carderock, Md., from 1948 until retirement in 1971. Add 75

And further: Betsy's knee is fine (she had been wheel-chaired during the March '93 DELTA QUEEN trip) and my chelation is completed except for the sustaining sessions. Just wish I had done it a year sooner I guarantee diat George is not going to let these guys do another bypass job on me. Once is enough. We did get in a few ski runs before the end of die season, but they were pretty tiring. However, last week we did a 4 mile hike up to a lake behind Taos at 11,000 -I- feet with no problems. So I guess we are o.k. . . .

Thanks, George, my aching back needed that!

Up north of Pappy in Danville (S.F Bay area) John Sims reminisces of the time in 1946 when he was the first secretary of the Class. He recalls: . . . a joint luncheon we arranged with Washington area USMA '40 people. When we assembled, all die USNA '40 were LCdrs, while the USMA '40 group went from Capt. (or maybe 1st Lt.) to full Col. Who said life is fair? . . .".

John, the PALS* continued with annual joint USNA-USMA '40 lunch meetings until the '70s or '80s, when Navy won at football 3 or 4 years in a row.

The thing was getting embarrassing, and the Army lads were running out of bathrobes and cash/credit, so it sort of trickled away Sure Life WAS Fair! And we enjoy your explanation for not joining the Castine Caperers in '93: . . . about the middle of September we'll depart on our annual odyssey by auto to visit son Jeff and family in Madison, Wisconsin, then on to visit son Jack and family in Togus (Augusta), Maine. #2 son Jeff is with the U.S. Forest Service on the University of Wisconsin campus; #1 son Jack is Director of VA Hospital in Togus. We didn't diink we could handle two trips to Maine in one Summer . . .

Adding the above to the rest of your '93 travels validates your excuse, John. But, how about moving the old sched up a bit next year? Augusta is less than a hundred miles [Vi hours?) from Castine. Now, how about the rest of you out there? Think Castine Caper XXIV. Heading East—with a PC from Isabelle and Virgil Gex of Ohio and Florida. It is postmarked "St. Anthony NF 19 VII1993." Virgil writes: 7/16/93. Passed an iceberg the size of a house stranded on BELLE ISLE today. Smaller than the one on 1st Class cruise—but everything is shrinking these days. 39°F and cold rain. Our gambit to escape the heat succeeded beyond our wildest dreams!

Louise has optimistic word concerning the condition of hospitalized Hooky Walker: . . . Hooky's spirits are good—still has his sense of humor . . . He is out of bed, sitting in a chair for several hours in the morning, and, again, for a shorter period in the afternoon . . . He is stronger . . . He hasn't lost any weight, so the stuff going into his feeding tube is nourishing . . . Jake Heimark is wonderful—comes to the hospital every day and usually comes with a cartoon. They are stuck to wall in the hospital room and everyone enjoys . . .

Louise and Hooky are particularly grateful to all in the Family Forty who have written and/or called.

Don't know how she finds the time, but she is answering every one.

The Secretary's Corner It was a genuine thrill joining Paul Desmond and Bill Carpenter for a visit to the family of a Classmate who had been 'lost' for over half a century. We only regret that James Lee Johnson was not still alive. Keep your eyes and ears open. There may be more 'lost' Classmates in your town. * * * * ONLY FORTY IS 4.0! * * * *

"Top Gun" building at NAS Miramar named after Adm. EH. "Mike" Michaelis In Down East Maine Marguerite and Ted Rodgers report: . . . We had a busy week following CC XXIII, including a lobster bake, a memorial service, a day in Bangor and last week-end in Boston. The Boston trip included taking in the 50th anniversary of Frances and Harry White, and the 25th anniversary of our oldest daughter and son-in-law. Both parties were great! . . .

Everyone had a great time. Can't you tell?

Last Spring, Jack Bennett enjoyed Central Europe plus Budapest and is planning a trip to Spain, and Portagal. He also says that he plans to be at the Winter reunion in Florida. Seymour Einstein is still far from retired. In fact, he projects 1999 as his earliest possible retirement date! He is going great guns with various types of buildings, of which nursing homes are 80% of his practice. He is working on additions to an existing one in Florida and two in Chicago, plus hopes for a new one in Florida and a biggie in a northern "ultra" suburb of Chicago. Hang in there, Seymour.

In June, Cliff Lenz got a group of footballers together for a picture at the 50th wedding anniversary of Ursala and Herman Spector '39, which was held in an old mansion on a high bluff overlooking San Francisco Bay Pretty imposing looking group, isn't it?

And speaking of pichtres, the Spring co-ed affair at the Annapolis Yacht Club always produces a good crop and this year was no exception, even if they are a bit late. Remember me telling you that some of us attended the 1993 session of the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference (NAFAC)? Look at the photographic proof of our concentration! Incidentally, the British lad in the foreground won a prize for his paper.

St. Petersburg is an exciting city to visit. The Winter Palace and Hermitage Museum require several days to see but, fortunately for us, we had seen the Catherine the Great exhibit in Memphis and this helped make up for die limited time available for the Hermitage. The Summer palaces of Catherine and Peler the Great were gutted by the Germans but have been partially restored—these are the Pushkin Palace and Peterhop Palace and are a must for any visitor The Arts were not forgotten; we attended a lively folk art dance performance one evening and saw a ballet on our last evening.

I made a special visit to the Naval Museum while Evelyn was visiting St. Isaac's Cathedral and shopping which, she reports, was good at the flea market, but terrible in the main department store and a book store which she visited. At the museum I found that the Russians claimed Ihe first submarine in 1834, had what was supposedly a reconstructed two-man submarine from the year 1884 and a model of the first airplane from the year 1852. What a shame my time was limited—that was an interesting museum!

After the tour group left Helsinki we remained to take a Wi hour trip by hydrofoil to Tallin, Estonia.

This is an old walled city which was once a trading center for Ihe Hanseatic League. Although often under foreign control, it has not suffered destruction, giving us an oppormnity to enjoy its old buildings and narrow winding streets. Our host and guide in Tallin was a cousin who has been stationed there with the State Department for the past 18 months.

Our visit coincided with the Summer solstice, which is celebrated as a national holiday in both Estonia and Finland. "The White Nights," marking the longest days of the year, are welcomed here in the land of the midnight sun, We were forttinate in being invited to join an Estonian family in their celebration of this holiday. After an informal dinner we went to a nearby field where more than 200 people were gathered around a huge bonfire to hear music, eat and dance. As we returned to Tallin that evening we could see many other bonfires and similar groups.

Overall comments on the tour are that it was excellent. Ihe accommodations on the boat comfortable, Ihe food fair (one Swiss company reportedly runs similar lours with excellent food), Ihe tour directors still a bit uncertain on some arrangements but generally good, and the Russian people we met were very pleasant, curious and still bewildered by rapid change.

So for the big event it was off to Honolulu to be with friends and our memories, then to Kauai to enjoy the beauty of diat spectacular island.

In June we headed to Russia with an Arts Tour made up of members of Evelyn's Knitting Guild of America and a group of opera supporters, making diis an Arts Tour The FINNAIR flight to Helsinki was great but the AEROFLOT flight to Moscow started with delays, then a bumpy ride ending up at die wrong airport. Customs and most of the luggage were at the International Airport—we were at the domestic airport. Further delays were in order Our lour included three days in Moscow, then a seven day Irip by river boat to St. Petersburg, where we stayed an additional three days. We went aboard the boat, FEIXIR DOSTOYEVSKY, in Moscow and

were aboard until departure from St. Petersburg to return to Helsinki for the flight home.

Moscow was cold and rainy but the tours let us see the main points of interest—including St. Basil Church, the Kremlin, Ihe Moscow subway and shopping trips to GUM department store for the ladies. The city was impressive in many ways, even

Shipmate, October 1993

in the rain. One additional highlight was an evening at die Moscow Circus.

Our seven days underway look us via Ihe Moscow River/Volga River canal to Rybinski Lake, then by die Baltic/Volga canal and river system to Onega and Ladoga Lakes and finally to St. Petersburg via the River Neva. Daily stops were made for visits ashore. In small farming communities we visited with the people (our interpreters from the boat were with us), observed how they lived and saw them building their log houses. At two of these towns we visited old churches and historic buildings which are now museums.

The cruising was best of all. In comfort we watched the forested areas glide by and saw onion domed churches, people working in their gardens and various shipping. At meal lime, during lecttires or as we enjoyed excellent concerts (our Arts Tour had opera singers, pianists, a harpist, and an excellent balalaika player for these concerts), we were never without a view of the water or riverbanks through large glass windows.

In Lake Onega we visited the nordiem island of Kizhi where an outstanding outdoor museum feamred a 22 dome wooden church built there in 1618 and many small chapels, homes (some large), bams and other log structtires brought from surrounding areas. Petrozadansk, near Kizhi, was a large modem city—but shopping in their largest department store was still a chore with limited choices, a complicated system of payment and inevitable delays.

Pres., Capt. Charles E. Smith USN (Ret.) Sec'y R. S. Day CLU 2426 Chestnut St., Falls Church, Va. 22043-3052 Duke Harwood proudly forwarded a clipping from The Bunkie Record announcing the promotion of his oldest daughter, Buie, to the rank of full professor at Virginia Commonwealth University effective August 1993. She had received her academic appointment to the University in Richmond in September 1985, teaching, working on course development, coordinator of the guidance program and served on various committees. She received tenure in 1988 as an associate professor in Interior Design. She obtained her B.FA. and M.FA. in Interior Design from Louisiana Tech and began her teaching career as an instructor and associate professor of Interior Design at the University of Texas, where she was on the staff for eight years. During the year before prior to taking the position at Virginia Commonwealth, Buie was an associate professor in Interior Design at North Texas University. In November 1992, she was certified to practice as an Interior Designer in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Her credentials are impressive and she has now published a book. Decorating Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Decorating Painting in the Lone Star State 1850-1950. Duke benefited from her impressive talents when she acted as design consultant and architectural planner for the two-year renovation of their 1919 Firthland Plantation home that was completed in 1980.

The article also noted that Duke has served as president of Rotary and the Bunkie Chamber of Commerce, served on the board of the Little Theater, and remains active in Rotary and in the Calvary Episcopal Church. Daughter, Hope, resides in Connecticut and practices law in New York City, while his son.

Frith, is a graduate of the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City and pursuing a career in acting and directing.

Back in May, Peggy and Jim Small revisited Europe enjoying organized tours and leaving the driving to others in order to enjoy seeing as much of the landscape as possible. In Salzburg, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the smallest beer was a healthy half litre and that its most famous street, the Getreidgasse, still sports a wide offering of wrought iron signs.

Rip Reeves checked in from his home in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, after reading about Jocko Hebron and Joe Hunt as he had been among the contingent of Classmates who had transferred to Pensacola for Intermediate Training from Primary Flight Training in Dallas in May 1944. They went through three weeks in the Vultee vibrator and then moved out to other fields for SNJ familiarization, formation, navigation, tactics, gunnery and bombing, plus night flying. Rip and Jocko were assigned to the same flight in SNJ's at Corry Field for about four months and they carpooled together, flew together, and socialized now and again. Joe was also at Pensacola and

Peggy and Jim Small all of the group received their wings in early October.

Joe gave Rip a lift home after the wings ceremony and that was the last time they were to meet. Rip had carpooled to Whiting Field with Ted Schroeder who had been the #2 amateur male singles player when Joe was #1.

Rip and Jocko were assigned to NAS Melbourne, Florida, for operational training in F6F Hellcats.

Again, they carpooled, flew together daily, and played bridge and ate out together frequentiy. They split in February 1945, Jocko opting for night fighters at Vero Beach and Rip heading for the west coast and assignment to Air Group 93 and VP93. He learned of Jocko's tangle with the sugar train at Ewa Plantation when he returned to the U.S. via Pearl in May 1946.

He wrote to him while Jocko was at Oak Knoll for treatment, but never saw him again at any Homecoming or Class Reunion. While at Melbourne, they were delighted tofindthat the country club was only a mile from the Air Station, so kept their golf clubs in the car in the eventflyingwas delayed and they could get in a game. Jocko taught Rip the rudiments of golf and ifflying was resumed, theflightdispatcher would call the club caretaker. Payment of a modest monthly stipend ensured that the latter would jump in a golf cart and get them back to the club house on the double.

In a follow up to his trip down memory lane. Rip forwarded two clippings from the Tri-County Technical College Intercom noting that he had endowed a scholarship, the Claude L. Reeves Scholarship, which will allow a student two years of study in the university transfer program. The first recipient is now enrolled. After retiring from the Navy in 1962, Rip earned his teaching credentials from San Diego State College. He taught math for two years in junior high; physics and math for two years in senior high; and then joined the Tri-County Technical College where he taught math, physics and chemistry for ten years. During eight of those years, he served as Chairman of the Math Department and two as Chairman of the Arts and Science Division. He was a key designer of their math program and the Arts and Science Division and in 1974 became the first recipient of the Presidential Medallion for Instructional Excellence. He retired in 1980 and he and Melba now reside in Chapel Hill. As Rip noted, we can close out this column from time to time with an upbeat thought.

Pres., Capt. Edward E. Kerr USN (Ret.) Sec'y Capt William B. Kirkland, Jr. USN (Ret.) 1720 Palmera Court Alameda, Calif. 94501 Your new Cor. Secty and new Prez had a mixed communication ourfirstday in office. Ed Kerr called to tell me of a death in our Class of '43 family He said, "Bob Hansen's wife Jean has passed away"; I heard, "Bob Hansen has passed away." Well to Bob, and all of our friends and Classmates, I send my most humble apologies. We are most sorrowful about Jean's death, and glad Bob is still with us.

Dave Holmes says he has a hefty file of 50th letter and memo stuff which we variously contributed for his excellent memory book. Says if you want your stuff back call him up.

He also sent along copies of an interesting exchange. Most of you recall that in the Class video produced for the 50th Lawrie Hayworth provided a film clip of FINBACK'S rescue of Lt.(jg) George Bush off Chichi Jima in September, 1944. Dave sent a copy of the video to the President. In it you may recall, Lawrie illustrated Lt. Bush's imitation of the mating call of a bull elephant. Holmes suggested the video belonged among the Presidential Artifacts. (Oh, my!) What Dave got back on George Bush letterhead said, in part: "Lawrie's elephant imitation was the low point of the tape, or come to think of it maybe it was the high point." The signature sure looks authenticâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;can't even read it! And the return address is Houston, Texas 77024. Howzat, sports fans?

Had a phone call from Cordelia at Shipmate announcing that our Classmate William James Martin, Lt., USN, who resigned after seven years of surface warfare duty, died on 17 July. I made some calls but could find no one on that day who remembered Bill Martin. He spent many years in heavy construction and lived near Sacramento, Calif., from 1960 on.

Bill assembled his own airplane, a Barrow's "FLY BABY." He was a self madeflyboy from 1954 on. He also was a serious Ham Radio operator.

Heard from Bill Golden that he and Connie visited Gammie and Jim Black at their Campbell River, B.C., summerplace, and were treated to several days of splendid fishing. Among them they took fifteen unwilling salmon. The accompanying picture illustrates leisure at its finest. The picture window reflects the Strait of Georgia with mountains in the background. Golden says they were contemplating doing "Push Ups"â&#x20AC;&#x201D;get the word Bill, "ain't no mo Plebe year" at the canoe club these days.

From Ed Robie, Gas Turbine Consultant, a letter with pictures reports on the Dick Lazenby annual BLUE ANGEL blast during Commissioning Week at Yousnah. Seems we dirty, rotten Tailhookers spoiled things for the graduates and proud parents. The BLUES were canceled out. Instead, four intrepid members of '43 launched four paper gliders in the BLUE'S livery from the Lazenby roof. Otherwise a lone F-14 performed. That's all folks. Gathered at the Lazenby party with wives were: Bress, Carter, Detweiler, Doyle, Dudley, Fearnow, Freeman, Frese, Greenwood, Grkovic, Holmes, Hunt, Keeler, Logan, Oliver, Robie, Van Ness and Woodall.

Robie sent a second set of pics taken in Colorado where Robies and Burnets met up with McConnells and Harrells in great weather for mountainous golf and marvelous sea stories. Ed says the hospitality of McConnells and Harrells was outstanding. (Yes, Ed, the rumor is true. Probably November. More later.)

Fenton Smith passed along his hot item last month on the back alley roommates revisited. In order to get his name in twice he sent the pics that were taken at Ardmore, Okla., in the next week's mail. So here are

Washington State, Although deliberately separated for regional representation, we enjoy die challenge of communicating with each odier by mail, and occasionally by telephone. It's not as convenient as sitting together at a round table, and decisions requiring consensus somtimes take awhile. Nevertheless, most tasks are accomplished expeditiously, and are well staffed.

Shifting thoughts to reunions, I am happy to inform you, officially, there will be a 55tli. Several months ago Ed Robie wisely reserved a room in the Annapolis Loew's for our reception and dinner on 18 October 1997. Various other activities may be available a few days before and after so block those dates accordingly on your '97 calendars.

Speaking of Ed Robie, he will be our Class representative for the next 3 years at each of the Alumni Association Board of Trustee meetings. These are biannual meets held at The Academy. Ed will observe, monitor items of particular interest to our Class, and take action when appropriate. Bill Busik, soon to retire, has been artanging these well organized meetings for many years. His retirement will be a loss to our Class as well as to The Alumni Association.

In closing, I send special thanks to the "someone" mentioned at the start of this, the first. President's Comer: Bud Carter, * * * * Glad to be in '43 * * * *

50th Reunion

Membership: 78%

Pres., Capt. Henry S. Barbour USN (Ret.) Sec'y, Capt. Wynn V. Whidden USN (Ret.) 6156 Loch Raven Dr., McLean, Va. 22101 AimapoUs Rep., Capt. Jack E. Godfrey USN (Ret.) '44's Legacy The finale of the 50th reunion culminated in two most significant events in Alumni Hall on 9 June 1993. We formally contributed "The 1944 Room" in Alumni Hall for the use of current and future Midshipmen. It is presently being utilized as a music room where Glee Club and other musical productions will come to fruition. Over the coming years it will provide a place where Midshipmen can learn and grow in musical competenceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a valuable adjunct to our national culture and their educational process.

The photo shows Rojo Adamson presenting "The 1944 Room" to the superintendent of the Naval Academy, RAdm. Tom Lynch '64.

John Strachan sponsored "The Class of 1944 Project Remembrance," which provides a memorial chair in Alumni Hall auditorium for each of our Classmates who died on active duty in the armed forces of the United States. This magnanimous gesture marks indelibly the ultimate sacrifice made by our departed Classmates in the service of their country. All who sit in these chairs in the years to come will be reminded of the fidelity of these men of '44.

The photo shows John Strachan presenting Project Remembrance to RAdm. Lynch.

Mail Bag Jack Christman wrote that he and Katty had a marvelous time at the reunion. They came to the reunion via San Francisco, where they attended the ceremony in which their daughter, Pat, was awarded a Master's Degree of Science from the School of Nursing, Univ. of Califomia, San Francisco. This completed a triad, since their son, Tom, has a Master's degree from The American University and their daughter, Susan, has a Master's degree from the Univ. of North Carolina. Pat, the latest to earn her Master's degree, has been selected for promotion to Captain in the Navy Reserve.

Following the reunion, the Christmans played a few rounds of golf with Lyn and Rojo Adamson at the Fairfax Army Navy Country club course, visited theu: son Tom, his wife Angela (who is an Episcopal 80

priest), and granddaughter Sidney Marie; then checked the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit and toured the Navy Memorial in Washington, which they found to be quite stirting. From there they visited Katty's 89 year old mother in Charleston, S.C, then daughter Susan, her husband Mike and granddaughters Megan and Spencer in Blowing Rock, N.C. They closed out their trip east with three rounds of golf at The Greenbrier, W. V. After a colon resection and chemotherapy for colon cancer in 1991-92, Jack is getting favorable check-up results now and is doing very well indeed.

Ed Stock and his wife Betty reported that they had a ball at the 50th and sent their thanks to all Class officers and the committee for "the best affair ever staged at the Academy" At the 50th they stayed in the Flaghouse Inn in company with Ed's old roonmiates, Walt Dixon and Hugh Rosania and spouses.

John Hartley was, for a long time, one of our "phantoms." However, he is now corresponding with one of his 13th Company mates. Unfortunately, he and his wife, Pat, had to miss the 50th. Having been sent a photo of his 13th Company Classmates, John said he was sure that the speech patterns and personalities would have come through as ID helpers had he been there himself, but he had some trouble with identification just looking at the picture. John and Pat were married in the Naval Academy Chapel on 9 June 1943, and they recently celebrated their golden anniversary with a garden party at the home of their daughter in Raytown, Mo. After WWII John and Pat lived in Clinton, Mo., where they both pursued teaching careers. In 1953, with their two children, John II and Patt, they moved back to Kansas City where John Sr resumed his career with Hallmark Cards. He worked 28 years for Hallmark and retired as executive assistant to the group vice president of operations. Pat was a teacher in the Raytown school system for 15 years and concluded her teaching career as a professor of reading and developmental skills at William Jewel College in Liberty, Mo. The productive couple retired 12 years ago to their home on Lake Table Rock where they are 104 feet from the water's edge, their boat dock, and two boats: afishing/skiboat and a Sweet 16 sailboat.

Their worst health problem currently is skin cancers, but sunscreen lotion helps. Their address as shown in Hiller's latest register has been renumbered by the post office. It is now Rt. 3 Box 4320, Galena, Mo. 65656.

After we chastised "Myles" Standish lightly in the last column for goingfishinginstead of coming to the 50th, he has written in. He said that having been asked many times what he was doing after retiring from the Navy he always answers, "Goin' fishin'."

He avers that lacking the necessary ingredients for selection to captain or command of anything in the Navy, he purchased his own command, a 17 foot Boston Whaler, fulfilled Coast Guard requirements for skippering it, and became Captain of perhaps the smallest charter boat in the country. After being bom in Plymouth County, Mass., and after a long series of "begats," beginning from the marriage of Myles and Barbara Standish's son, Alexander, to John and Priscilla Alden's daughter, Sarah, he felt that naming his boat THE MAYFLOWER was not too presumpmous, and that it might help bring him a few charter clients who would like to say that they had been to sea in THE MAYFLOWER with a Myles Standish. This is his 17th year as C O . , and since he has a crew of one (himself) he remains popular with the crew and has never had a mutiny. He takes from one to four people out fishing on Narragansett Bay and Rhode Island Sound, from about 0900 until about 1700. After unloading and cleaning up it is past supper time. Then it's clean and peddle the catch, soak the Captain in a tub, and crawl into bed with the blonde (spouse Lucille). Myles says that they are long days but great sea duty, on which he gathers enough material each season for several articles in The New England Fisher-

man magazine. His chartering season runs from early April until early December, after which he spends the rest of the time repairing the boat, motor, trailer, towing vehicle, fishing gear, etc. With the short tourist season often interrupted by nor'easters, fogs, and occasional hurricanes he can't seem to make expenses half the time, but he loves it and would be out there anyway. Each season he meets interesting people from all over the U.S. and foreign countries. Many remm every year or so because of other attractions in Newport. The males mostly can only stand so much mansion viewing, antiquing, and shoppingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;they release their credit cards to their fraus and escape on THE MAYFLOWER. Thanks, Myles, for your extensive and most interesting excuse for missing the 50th. Try making the 60th!

Bill Ullrich brought his daughter Karen Houle with him to the 50th. Bill's wife, Dottie, died of cancer on 2 June 1991, and Bill is still batching it. His home for the last five years has been at Heritage Lake, which is about 35 miles west of Indianapolis.

Since his phone number only appears in a few local rural phone books, he would like all his friends to know that it is 317 386-2497.

In Memory Charles C. Flowerree died of cancer on 9 July at his home in Arlington, Va. Chuck and his wife, Jane, were with us at the 50th, and we had a great time being with them at the 1st Company dinner in the Yacht Club. As many of you know, he was the only U.S. ambassador in '44, having served as Ambassador to the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva.

A memorial service for Chuck on 15 July was held at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Delaplane, Va. Interment was private. We extend heartfelt condolences to Jane, their two children, and the family.

Thomas W. Ireland died of lung cancer on 18 July at Winchester Medical Center in Virginia. Tom was a Russian language specialist, joined the Foreign Service in 1948, and was posted to Moscow and other assignments in Europe. In 1954, during the McCarthy era, he was fired from the Foreign Service because he and his wife spoke Russian at home. Having been told at the time that he was being let go to save money, he later gained access to his record, and, when he determined the real reason for his release, sued the government, resulting in a $2.3 million settlement in his favor in 1990. Funeral services and interment were at Arlington National Cemetery on 4 August. Our sympathy is extended to Tom's two children and the family.

Nickolas A. Courtessis died on 24 July in Syracuse, N.Y. Many will remember when Nick, as a Midshipman, was assigned as escort for King George of Greece because of his competence in speaking Greek. The king had been forced to flee his country when it was invaded by the Axis in WWII. Funeral services and interment of Nick's remains were at Arlington National Cemetery on 4 August. Our sympathy goes out to his family.

Katherine Adams, widow of Alden W. "Flagbag" Adams, Jr., passed away and was interred in Arlington National Cemetery on 6 August next to her beloved husband. Our sympathy is expressed for the surviving family.

Secretary's Corner More 50th pix are shown this month. Credits go to "Jig Jig" Bailey, "Rags" Muller, and Bob Rubel.

Dutch Schulz USN (Ret.) 5100 26th St. N., Ariington, Va. 22207 (703) 536-7156 The 1993 SEAFAIR Festival in Seattle was the site for the 22nd annual Naval Academy Alumni Association June Week West celebration from 29 July to 1 August 1993. The weather couldn't have been more perfect, with spectacular views of Mt. Baker and Mt. Ranier. Sponsored by the Puget Sound Chapter of the Alumni Association, JWW '93 attendees wined and dined at the four diamond Stouffer Madison Hotel, cruised on Lake Washington while watching the BLUE ANGELS perform, and 176 of us heard RAdm. Tom Lynch '64, USNA Supe, speak after a bountiful banquet. A hearty wave of the '45 Green Bowler is awarded to Jim Bruso '56, Chapter President and his working group: Colin Saari '60, John Coughlin '50, Wah Davis '50, Guy Graffias '55, Bob Shelling '38 and spouses, not forgetting Mary Ellen Hanley '49.

The '45ers who participated in some or all of the JWW '93 activities were: Dotty and Bob Barnhart, Lacy and Frank Clifford, Marge and Frank Nepo, Janie and Dutch Schulz, Nettie and Pete Snyder, Jane and John Bock, Susan and Andy Kerr, Bunny and Hank Searls, C D . Jewefl, Martha and Bill Doubt, Joyce and John Price and Eldon Reiquam.

Following the Sunday Brunch at the Stouffer Madison on 1 August, there were 102 USNA Alumni and spouses who checked in at the Fairbanks, Alaska Regency Hotel on 2 August to begin a 12 day Alaska, rail-boat cruise sponsored by the USN AAA. Our sea cruise commenced at Seward on 7 August on board the Love Boat, SS SKY PRINCESS of 43,692 tons. We oohed and awwed at mountains, glaciers, animals, food, rivers, towns, gift shops, food, museums, dog teams, totem poles, food, gold, Indians, gift shops, salmon and food at such exotic ports of call such as Anchorage, Denali, Sitka, Skagaway, Juneau, Ketchikan, Seward and College Fjord (not in that order . . .). Forty-Fivers along for the rail-cruise were Nettie and Pete Snyder, Lacy and Frank Clifford and Janie and Dutch. Submariners Hester and Jim Heg '43 and Jean and Bud Willet '46 came along to provide an aura of credibility to the inevitable sea stories at First Sitting, Table 20, the rowdiest table in the Savoy Dining Room. What turned out to be the most striking event of the whole trip was the beautiful weatherâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sunny and in the 50s to 70s, except for the Rain Capital of the World, Ketchikan. Total mileage steamed: 1799.4. There were 1246 passengers of 12 nationalities and a crew of 540, consisting of 17 nationalities. It was unnerving to note the tomb-like atmosphere of Dulles Airport Terminal at 0100 on Sunday, 15 August!

Here's a piece I've been saving for the appropriate time slot: As you may recall, in the April '93 issue it was reported that Classmate Fred Blum of the 15th Company has been confined to a nursing home since his stroke in 1982. Again, we would not have known of his situation without the efforts of Al Blackburn who spotted an article in The New York Times which led to Fred's private room at the Hebrew Room for the Aged in Riverdale, N.Y. Don Logie of Wantagh, N.Y. read the Shipmate item and made plans to celebrate Fred's birthday on 13 April. Don writes on 20 April 1993: Last Thursday Gus Swainson and I went to the Bronx and had a small birthday celebration with Fred Blum, We arranged for a birthday cake which Fred shared with us. the slaff and fellow diners in his dining group . . . We also presented him with

82

miniature Wings to wear on his blouse and a Class of 1945 plaque for his walls . . . From die therapist's comments, he seems to be making some progress . . . My roommates, Mai Collin, Joe Barton and Fred had been in Joan's and my wedding party back there in 1944.1 dug up a picture of us on that day and look it with us. Fred carried it with him wherever we went and showed everyone what a handsome figure he cut back then in his white service , , , I talked to Fred last night and he told me of the cards he had received and recited the names of the Classmates who had signed his birthday card at your Class luncheon.

Since there have been some incorrect fone numbers in previous issues, here is Fred's correct addrss: Frederick E. Blum, Room RF 719, Hebrew Home for the Aged, 5901 Palisades Avenue, Riverdale, N.Y 10471. His room fone is: 718 884-7198 and the Nursing Home number is: 718 549-8700. Don adds a postscript: "I just talked to Mai Collin and he had a triple by-pass six weeks ago . . . His rehabilitation is going beautifully and he plans a Virgin Islands trip later in the Spring . . . " Tuckahoe, N.'Y. reporter Ed Hill sent a clipping from the July 1993 issue of the M.I.T. Alumni Magazine, Technology Review, reporting that Russ Bryan had been awarded the Distinguished Public Service Medal for his contributions as Chair of the Advisory Board to USCG Academy. He comments, "Russ and I, among other Forty-Fivers, hold degrees from the Department of Ocean Engineering at M.I.T. Russ completed a rigorous three year course in Naval Engineering in 1952. 1 received a B.S. in Marine Transportation in 1948." In tribute to the memory of Morry Lax, Ed continues: On a sad note, I may possibly have been the last Classmate to have seen Morry Lax, He and I spent a delightful five hours together, including lunch at a pleasant spot in Davis, the Thursday before Easter, reminiscing about Classmates and times past. Ironically, on 24 May I sent Morry a letterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not knowing that he had expired on 23 May, in which I remarked how great it was to see him looking so fit and trim. He rowed just about every day and weighed less than he did as a Midshipman , . .

Beyond question, Morry was one of the most cultured men in the Class, a voracious reader, a student of the opera and, of course, he was a great role model for Ihe young people he taught to row. Believe me, it was with a heavy heart that I wrote a letter to his widow, Pat, his wife of over 44 years. Morty brought honor to himself and to the Class during his entire career The impact of Morry's death on 23 May 1993 has had a wide effect upon many people, not only from the Class of '45. As an example of Morry's concem for the Class of 1945, here is an excerpt from his 6 April letter to the Corresponding Secretary: Here's a suggestion for the 50th Reunion Committee that you might publish . . . I would like to get the Navy Crew Alumni together and see how many shells we can fill. I note sadly that there are a great number of us among the deceased, but this would be a good occasion for remembrance of old team-mates as well as for the lessons of Buck Walsh.

His letter goes on to suggest the time and place, even offering to borrow shells and oars, the procurement of Navy T-shirts and crew shorts. He concluded, "If Andy Kerr can bike across the U.S., the rest of us ought to be able to row a few thousand meters."

Virginia Beach Shipmate correspondent, Bob Hogsed, featured the Class activities of the Tidewater Area in a recent letter: Just a short note to report on our local Commemorative Luncheon celebrating our 49th graduation anniversary. The affair was held al the Broad Bay Country Club on 8 June. We had a great lumout as usual, including out-of-towners Betty and Jim Cockrill from the D.C. area visiting Fran and Frank Rawlings; Roie and Fred Gore from Williamsburg and Bob Close from Frankstown, Va., on the Eastern Shore, The remainder of the 35 in attendance included: Paul Adams, Ken Cham-

bers, Mary and Jim Cole, Pat and Dave Cullen, Sally and Bill Eaton, Jan and Bob Ferrin, Betty and Beetle Forbes, Ida and Dolan Hertzig, Maggie and Bob Hogsed, Maggie and Gene Hunter Trudy and Doug Mclntyre, Barbara and Chris Petersen, Fran and Frank Rawlings, Doreen and Bill Steuteville and Polly and Jay Taylor His RS. should hearten the purple golf jocks from Northern Virginia; Our local Varsity Golf Squad, consisting of Jim Cole, Dolan Hertzig, Gene Hunter and Jack Manherz was just barely edged out from winning a recent USNAAA match. We still need help from some Big '45 Golf guns' from up North.

Jane Reynolds Howard, widow of Bob Reynolds, was in town 16-18 July attending the Convention of the POW/MIA Family Alliance group. She was planning to remain in Washington to search the files on POW/MIA cases which were supposed to have been declassified by Presidential Order. She remains receptive to contributions for the "Search for Bob Reynolds Fund," which may be sent to her at 6710 Elmwood Avenue, Apt 201, Middleton, Wise. 53562, or you can call her at 608 836-1163.

Charlotte, N.C. Classmate John D. Hicks visited the Naval Academy in the Spring. He wrote: On 5 May Peaches and I attended an inurnment at the Academy for my great friend, Lou Parker '44.

He and Iflewin a Fighter Squadron together for several years . . . On the same day we had two other memorable events. First, a tour of Alumni Hall by Chip Seymour '65, Director Development Committee, USNAAA. What a fantastic facility! Then we met with Capt. John Padgett '69, Commandant of Midshipmen. His father Jack '45, and I came to the Academy from a litde military prep school in Tennessee . . . We had a great visit with John . . .

The next day we had lunch with Dave Saunders, my 16th Companymate. I was in Dave's wedding in Pensacola in 1947 or 1948 . . .

Notes from the 21st Company Ed Roeder sent along a foto with this note: Eleanor represented the National Society, U.S. Daughters of 1812 at the Naval Academy Awards Ceremony in Alumni Hall on 25 May 1993, where she presented a $400 Savings Bond to each of the following Midshipmen First Class: Scott Alan Cooper '93 of Hyattesville, Md., who stood "Highest in Order of Merit among those to be commissioned in the USMC" and Clifford Todd Wiese '93 of Springfield, Va., who achieved "the greatest increase in cumulative quality point rating while a general engineering major" Jean and Tut Vale accompanied us to the Dress Parade, Awards Ceremony and to the reception following.

The September column listed the address of the latest Class of '45 Crab Town residents, Phyllis and Joe Schroeder, formerly of Long Beach and now of the Ferry Farms section of Annapolis. We welcome them to the area and look forward to seeing them at '45 functions. Here is a foto of the couple taken last January at a Naval Academy Alumni Association celebration on the West Coast . . . Andy Kerr's biking foto in the March Shipmate inspired Paul Hemer "58 of the Bonneville Power Administration, Portland, Ore., to write Andy in order to share mutual interests in biking and to contribute to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center . . . John D. Hicks has a long-going correspondence with the Charlotte Observer, mostly taking the Editor, Rich Oppel, to task for errors in reference to the military. Nonetheless, Editor Oppel's 4 April 1993 newspaper column which was written following a visit to the Naval Academy, contained the ultimate solution to gays in the military. In response to a question, a Midshipman reported: "Sir, as long as someone does not display the behavior of a homosexual, he will be OK. At the point that he does, and it will be discovered in two or three weeks, he will be hit over the head with a wrench and thrown off the ship."

June and Howie Blum collaborated on this Tag Line: "You know you're getting old when you have His and Hers heating pads."

Shipmate, October 1993

The dateline is 7 August 1993 at Lake Louise in Banff National Park in Canada. The plan is to mail this in Bozeman, Montana to meet the 15 August deadline for the October issue.

Classmates were few in number at June Week West in Seattle but Nonie and Joe Skoog (12) Bellevue, Wash., joined up for the Class Party on Friday, 30 July. JWW attendees get priority attention as follows: Mary and Dick Daly (6), Mercer Island, Wash., were our local Class reps and arranged our Class Party at the College Club next to the JWW hotel, Stouffer Madison. They've been a busy couple spending "the six Winter months" in Mesa, Ariz., mostly golfing with lots of sun, playing squash and some tennis, in spite of a "100 year rain." After returning to Mercer Island for one week they went to Boston and on to Bermuda where they had a busy social schedule playing golf, tennis and squash with squash friends from England, Canada and the U.S. On returning to Boston, Dick had the opportunity to play tennis on the grass courts at the historic Longwood Cricket Club with one of his boyhood friends.

They then went to York, Penna., to visit Dick's son's farm. He's a family doctor there and they hadn't seen each other in four years. The big surprise was the growth of their two youngest granddaughters (11 and 13). They then returned to Boston and a week later took AMTRAK to New York City for an invitational squash meet. (For Dick it was a nostalgic trip along parts of the same tracks that took him from Boston to Annapolis 51 years ago.) He played in the 60 year age group and, in spite of being the oldest, managed to win after a serious challenge from a scrappy player from Florida, in the finals. Afer a few more days in Boston they returned to Seattle refreshed and ready for a quiet Summer. By the time this column appears in print Dick will have defended his Seniors Squash Title. Repeated next issue.

Mary Jayne and Pat Dowling (13) settled in Las Vegas, Nevada in '75. They travel, play tennis (both), ski (Pat) and play bridge (Jayne). Pat, with an MA. in communications, continues on the faculty at University of Nevada. Las Vegas (Don't they play basketball?) where he is a fulltime lecturer in TV Production, Communication Ethics, et al. (Pa is very proud of his ethics course and would be very pleased to teach only it. UNLV's Greenspun School of Communications has a well deserved reputation as one of the finest in the U.S.) Pat has agreed to be the Class Rep at iWW '96 in Las Vegas and promises to show us the real LV at that time.

Amanda and Ed Ellis (7), Victorville, Calif., went on into Canada after JWW. In Vancouver they visited and toured the Royal Canadian Mounted Police ST. RocH (a National Historic Site), a wooden hull ship built in 1928 for RCMP Arctic supply and patrol. She transited the Northwest Passage west to east and again east to west during World War 11 and after the war completed the circumnavigation of North America when she sailed to Halifax via the Panama Canal.

Ed, too, served in a wooden hull ship, USS WHITEWOOD (AG-129), in the ice. However, operations were much less significant but had almost grave consequences. Did you ever consider running aground in the ice in December in Greenland to avoid sinking?

The thought brings memories of towering ice bergs, miles and miles of sheet ice, impenetrable fog, the tide rising and falling within the ship. Operation Pussy Cat, bouncing like a cork in the Davis Strait, a

great crew (there were 45 of us, ST. ROCH had 11)â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Frank Clark '39, Dick Kessler '45 and Mark Memer '47, among others. It's a story which still must be written. After touring the Canadian Rockies (Jasper and Banff National Parks), Watertonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Glacier Intemational Peace Park, Yellowstone, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite, Amanda and Ed plan to arrive home about mid-August.

Rita and Fred Furiand (5) San Diego, Calif., also went to Vancouver, B.C., Canada, after JWW. However, they weren't sightseeing but were scheduled to meet afirstcousin of Fred's whom he had never met.

She is the 12thfirstcousin Fred has met since he inserted a short paragraph in the Lost Branches column of Viking magazine almost two years ago. A member of die Sons of Norway, who lives in Arendal, Norway, read the item and foimd a Furiand in one of the local telephone books. A telephone call to Fred from Arendal started a train of events which led Rita and Fred to Norway in 1992 where he met the first of eleven of his, until then, unknown living first cousins. They met many more of Fred's relatives on that trip and now, Fred has over 130 new names in his genealogical data base. While in Norway, Fred was given his father's confirmation bible by one of his cousins. The bible had been passed from hand to hand for over 100 years from the day Fred's father left at 14 as a cabin boy on one of the old sailing ships.

His father never returned to Norway.

Enroute to Seattle, Marigold and Bob Gorton (5), San Diego, Calif., visited with two daughters and former shipmates. While in Seattle, they led a small tour group consisting of the Furlands and Molly and Bob Barnhart '45 to Bremerton and back by ferry.

The trip was an hour with the retum trip being FREE. The cost $1.65. (It's great to be a Senior Citizen with good health.) While in Bremerton they visited TURNER JOY (DD-951) and the naval museum in town. From Seattle, Marigold and Bob were going to Fargo, N.D. for a FARGO (CL-106) Reunion 5-9 Au-

gust. Bob was hoping that most of the other four Classmates, who were also plank owners, would be there. FARGO was commissioned 9 December 1945.

The Classmates are Wally Hankins (11), Severna Park, Md., Don Heberling (4), Oklawaha, Fla.; Albert Jimenez (15) (Deceased); and Don Wynne (14), Potomac, Md. I deeply regret to report the death of Edward Joseph Karnis, Col. CHC. USA (Ret.), of heart failure on 21 July 1993 in Philadelphia, Penna. He resigned from the Academy on 15 January 1943 and had been awarded the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star and Purple Heart but we have little other biographical information.

Regretfully, 1 report the passing of Gretchen Perrine Martin on 7 July 1993 in Colorado Springs, Colo., from cancer. She and Lee (17) had been married the day we graduated from the Academy. Interment was at Evergreen in Colorado Springs. In addition to Lee she is survived by their two daughters Antonia and Dawn. A memorial donation from the Class was made to Pike's Peak Hospice. Gloria and Dan Good (10), Colorado Springs, Colo., represented the Class at the services.

Our sincerest condolences are extended to the families of Gretchen Martin and Edward Karnis.

Becky and Chuck Sueur (15), Merritt Island, Fla., while in San Diego on a visit to children, attended the July meeting of the San Diego/Coronado Chapter of USNA. They plan on joining the crowd at the 50th. How about you?

The last column reported that we had reached the mystical number of 46 attendees signed up for FIFTIETH. Add the following: Colette and Jim Irvin (13), San Diego, Calif.; Doris and Fred lacobelli (4), Scottsdale, Ariz.; Suzanne and Walt Horner (5), Punta Gorda, Fla.; Lou and Bob Baylis (3), Franconia, Va.; Mary and Larry Stahl (20), Gulf Stream, Fla.; and Mary and Carl Travis (17),

Dallas, Texas. (Cari and Bob Gautier (7), San Diego, Calif, have agreed to be Company Reps.) If you're not on the published list to date and want to be, send your $100 advance deposit to Wils.

You can now start filling in your travel program with some fantastic events. In 1994—San Diego— (Labor Day Weekend)—Navy/San Diego State football game—JWW '94. 1995—the 50th in Annapolis 4 - 8 May and JWW '95 in San Francisco (date to be determined). 1996—JWW in Las Vegas, Nevada (date unknown).

Pres., Adm William J. (Bill) Crowe, Jr. USN (Ret.) Sec'y Chester H. (Chet) Shaddeau, Jr. 343 Prestonfield Ln., Severna Park, Md. 21146 (410) 647-5868 FAX (410) 544-1324 (mark for USNA '47) JUNE WEEK WEST It was a gasser! Seattle had had 31 consecutive days of rain when we arrived; it promptly cleared on the day of arrival and continued glorious weather all during our stay! The food, drink, arrangements, and hospitality of the Puget Sound Chapter, headed by Jim Bruso '56 were superb, the cruising on Lake Washington was topped by a brilliant performance by the BLUE ANGELS, and I haven't even mentioned the Friday '47 affair yet.

That day, for which the attendees offer their gratitiade and thanks to our absolutely perfect hosts, Jackie and Hugh Minor, was memorable. Some of us played golf in the moming, and for them, there is probably no help, and nothing can be said. Others of us were greeted at the new U.S. Naval Station in Everett and briefed on its construction and its mission, then proceeded to the Class "do." One way or another, we all wound up at Minors' beautiful waterside home on the Tulalip Indian Reservation, and spent all afternoon and much of the evening yakking with each other, retelling sea stories, taking millions of photos, and coping with the magnificent crab, roast beef, and other goodies provided. What we think is a complete list of '47 attendees follows: Louise and Joe Baer, Anne and Ray Baker, Bobbie and Bob Barker, Lonnie and Chick Burton, Bets and Ralph Carnahan, Betsy and Rich Crane, Bobby and Dave Crockett, and their guest Juanita Marvin, Walt Day, Carolyn and Frank Deaton, Bill Dillen and his sister Dee Selby and friend Jean (last name lost!), Janet and Bo Eagle, Peggy and Bill Grant, Betty and Bo Heininger, Nancy and Tiger Hertzog, Rita and John Jahant, Ellie and Chuck Jeffs, Loyce and Walt Johnson, Shirley and Tumer Joy, Jim Kirkpatrick, Anne and Bill Lagen, Margaret and Mike Leddick, Ellen and Lou Marckesano, Jackie and Hugh Minor, Pat and Jim Moss, Gloria and Carl Otto, Marcella and Bill Peterson, Jo and Jim Pettit, Anne and Sam Pillar, Mary Lou and John Richards, Kak and Vem Rose, Norma and Hank Ruppel, Bernie and Ed Scoles, Pat and Chet Shaddeau, Joan and George Sheldon, Genie and Jack Smith, Joy and Neil Thomson, Rick Warren and Bunny Sisson, and Muriel and Bob Wenke. If I've missed anyone, or goofed a name, blame it on the good food!

As may be deduced from the list, our 70 to 80 people (depending on the event where you counted) constimted about one third of the total attendees for June Week West '93. Best on the Severn? Heck, we're Best on Puget Sound, too!

: CLASS of >47:

Jackie and Hugh Minor, '47 Hosts at JWW93 The dinner on Saturday evening gave us a chance to hear the Supe, RAdm. Tom Lynch '64, address today's issues, and to meet the President-Designate of the Alumni Association Capt. Ron Brandquist '60, who will relieve Bill Busik '43 in the Spring. Sunday morning's brunch was an almost uninterrupted continuation of the previous evening's conversations, and an appropriate conclusion to this most wonderful Forty-Seventh Year gathering for '47. Our repeated thanks to all concerned, with an extra curtsey for Hugh and Jackie, without whom, etc.

The final kicker? June Week West NINETY FOUR will be in San Diego, 3 September 1994, with Navy playing football against San Diego State at Jack Murphy Stadium. Headquarters will be the Town and Country Hotel. See you there?

From Bryan Wiggins: Tliis is to report that Julia and I have moved the family base of operations to: 701 Russell-Strausse Road, Cookeville, Tenn. 38501; 615 528-5605.

We are within two miles of Exit 287 from Interstate 40. Our roots are here and after much deliberation we decided to return. During the two months we have been here, all our expectations have been met or exceeded. Missing, of course, is the association with our many Classmates which we enjoyed during our 25 years in Northern Virginia, Cookeville is the most significant place between Nashville and Knoxville, approximately halfway between the two. We welcome all Classmates: take exit 287, call our number, and we will provide directions. Yes, we even have an external electrical outlet to accommodate Bowdey's motor home! Sincerely, Bryan.

The Doheny Eye Institute of the University of Southern California recently awarded its Distinguished Alumnus Award to our own Francis C. Hertzog, Jr., M.D. (AKA "the Duke," "Tiger," "Red"), and I insert here a portion of an appreciation by one of his medical colleagues on that occasion: . . .Dr. Hertzog is one of those people who first comes to mind when I think of a role model. His accomplishments as a physician, teacher, community leader and family man are well worth our aspirations. . . . he is the son of a Long Beach ophthalmologist but his early education was diverse. A year at Stanford in engineering was followed by a Presidential appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy . . . he came to USC for medical school, internship, and residency, and joined the clinical faculty in 1959. He is currently an Emeritus CUnical Professor, is active in fundraising, and serves as a member of the Promotions Committee. . . . it is his early work in intraocular lenses that those who trained with him in the 1970's remember most vividly. Although implants were very controversial at that time (1975), what one saw was controlled, careful surgery, done with the caution of an early implant surgeon and the skill of a very practiced professional... it was a glimpse into the future . . .

. . . he and his wife, Nancy, have raised seven fine children, four of whom are physicians, one a nurse, one an optician, and the youngest of whom is in law school.

"Red" has made significant contributions to the U.S.C. Department of Ophthalmology, and obviously he has been a role model for many beyond our department and his family, and we congratulate him on being selected as Doheny's Distinguished Alumnus for 1993.

To which your scribe adds the plaudits of the Class of '47 in general and my own in particular, as befits his former "wife"!

Quick Notes From Lafayette, Ala., Randy Bowling advises that daughter Joanie has presented him with his first grandchild, a red-haired boy.

Ken Sears has accepted the nomination by the Class Officers to head the Organizing Committee for our 50th Reunion. You'll be hearing from him.

John Urban has accepted the draft, and will in the near future relieve Bob von Gerichten of his duties as DC-Annapolis Social Coordinator (read: Organizer and Notifier of All Good Stuff from Jersey to NorVa, for something less than minimum wage!).

For those of you who may have been nonplussed: The Frank Simpson listed in Last Call last issue was '48, not '47.

The new Secretary of the Navy, John H. Dalton '64, was sworn in on 15 August in Tecumseh Court

by Adm. Arleigh Burke '23. Our new SecNav was previously head of the San Antonio office of Stephens, Inc., the family firm headed by our own Jack Stephens. And a guest at the affair was his old skipper from his days in JOHN C CALHOUN (SSBN-630), Frank Thurtell, who says "I taught him all he knows." About the Navy, that is.

The Big Meltdown Bear with me while I explain: the decision has been made at the Academy; the Class Project is going ahead (as originally planned) with the full three bronze crests, one on each of the visible comer entrances to Alumni Hall. The model has been approved and the fabrication of molds is presently underway. Late in the process, the opportunity was offered to us by the molder to put into the molten metal any small mementoes we would like to have become a permanent part of the casting. At that time it was understood that the latest date we could do it was 15 August. The short lead time led to a hurried and partial notification of Classmates by phone, but the situation has bettered; the molder will hold the last casting open until after this issue of Shipmate has reached you. This allows all who read Shipmate (not just receive it) such as YOU, to participate, even if we did fumble the original notification. We already have a goodly number of keepsakes, including collar devices, Dolphins, Wings, cufflinks, etc., but we want yours! Any small metallic object will do, except for aluminum and larger stainless steel items. The intent is that every Classmate, whether or not you have already contributed to the cost of the project (and that opportunity is still open) has a chance to become an integral and permanent part of this impressive gift to the Academy One proviso; DO IT NOW— TODAY! We're really squeezing the envelope, so mail or deliver IMMEDIATELY to me at the address above. If you have any questions, CALL—the telephone is cheap and mail will be too slow. And if you know any Classmates who do not get or carefully READ Shipmate, talk it up to them. We need your help.

Corollary to the above is that obviously we won't be ready to dedicate the crests until Winter, which in Annapolis, you may remember, is probably not a good idea. We are looking at a Spring date TBD. Watch this space.

Shipmate, October 1993

4. fa III: Howe, Hatch and Brooke at La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club

. . . My wife and I usually visit La Jolla every year to see our daughter Maureen. We stay at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, which we call "Paradise." It is always fun to get together with Classmates and their wives—look forward to seeing the Rupert Brookes, Bobby Howes, Barney Martins, and Bill Russells. Rupe and Bamey always set up golf games—a real treat, I'm still working in commercial real estate, primarily income properties, and have my own firm with the appropriately nautical name of Nordi Star Realty.

I'm also into genealogy, and have joined the Sons of the American Revolution and the Jamestowne Society.

Our son Robert is in the Naval Reserve as a Lieutenant. SC. Best Regards, Jim Further news of the activities of Bill Russell, by chance, shows up in the following conspiracy theory report form Hank Ruppel in Escondido, Calif.: There comes a lime when events must be reported, and the coincidences that have recendy overtaken me have such profound implications that they cannot go unrelated.

Back in February I was tapped for service on a committee looking at the management process at the Westinghouse Hanford Company (ably managed by {^resident Tom Anderson '60). . . . I was presented with a thoughtful internal position paper authored by one Mr Carlisle, I asked that he be added to the list of people I was to talk to in March. Upon completion of that talk, I noted his Navy background and asked the usual question for a ringknocker "Class of ?"

Chuck Carlisle's reply was, "I graduated in 1946, but, etc, , , , and we agreed that it was indeed a small world. I had heard of Chuck Carlisle for years, but it had never occurted to me thai he might be out of '47.

Then in early April I was directed to take Sweet Old Norma's car to Carlsbad (Calif.) Cadillac for service. Not wishing to lose the entire day, I drove the twenty-odd miles at the crack of dawn, and was patiently waiting, courtesy coffee in hand, for completion of the work, when some sort of an uproar developed in the office over lack of transportation to San Marcos for a customer whose car could not be ready until later in the day. I decided to offer the other fellow a ride, since San Marcos was on my rehim, and as I looked him in the eye, the following dialogue was blurted: "T.C. Williams!". "Hank Ruppel!"

In unison: "I haven't seen you in forty years!"

Finally, whilst wandering around San Diego Nordi County, I found myself far from home at lunch time, and knowing that Sweet Old Norma was honing her golf, I was searching for a Big Mac at Miramar when 1 thought of the sandwich shop at the Miramar Golf Course. Tlie place was crowded but I found a seat al the counter and ordered up a draft and a few onion rings in accordance with my doctor's orders. A sweaty golfer came in off the course and brusquely crowded in beside me, obviously intent on helping himself to my onion rings. We studiously avoided eye contact until it became unavoidable, at which point I found him to be Bill Russell of the Pooh Bear Squadron and other infamous La Jolla/El Cajon activities, Chet, you can report that I have a paranoid concem that I am being pursued by a group from which

there is no escape. The Class of '47 has conclusively demonstrated itself to be all-pervasive. You can inform the Class officers that 1 surrender and will deliver up whatever may be demanded at June Week West in Seattle. '47, Best on the Severn! HANK From Lou Romatowski in Houston, Texas: Enclosed is photographic evidence that my USNA wife (roommate), Joe McGrath, paid us a visit in Houston recently. Monique was grandmothering thefive-monthold, while son "Jose" and wife were taking a week to face archilecttiral licensing exams in Foat Wuth. (Fort Worth if you don't understand Texan).

Sec'y Cdr. Sumner Moore USN (Ret.) 208 Mansion Dr., Alexandria, Va. 22302 Here it is October and the 45th Reunion has come and gone, ahhough, at this writing, it is still August.

The Reunion report won't appear until the December issue. This month we have a lot of dope stemming from individual survey reports sent in to the Alumni Association.

Patsy and Phil Rogers breezed into Newport to visit friends and came to a KT party at the Moore house. Hence, I was able to receive from Phil the latest info on what is happening in the Yard in the vicinity of our well-known 48 GATE. Thanks to Phil's personal leap into the middle of all this, we should come out OK. Here are Phil's words: "Plans are in the making, within the Yard, to move the Gift and Visitor Center, presently in Ricketts Hall, to the Halsey Field House addition. Ricketts will then be modified into an athletic locker and therapy facility (Misery Hall?). The Visitors Gate (Gate 1) and the street beginning at the foot of King George Street, proceeding to the seawall on the Severn, will also be under construction to fit the above plans. As a result, the Class of 1948 Memorial Gate will be materially affected. A meeting with former members of the Gate Committee, other local Classmates, and Bill Busik '43, President of the Alumni Association, was held to brief all concerned. Possible changes to "our gate" were discussed and an understanding reached on what changes are considered reasonable and acceptable. The Committee feels that it is on top of the situation, and that the best interests of the Class and the integrity of the Gate will be maintained. The Class will be kept informed as the situation develops."

The Alumni Association sent me a copy of a letter they had received from the daughter of Estelle and Dutch Schultz, Lynda Murdy, expressing thanks for a copy of Shipmate they had sent to Estelle, and stating that Estelle had passed away February 20. 1 have no further information. Dutch died 7 August 1992, and I had a nice note from Estelle, which 1 noted in an earlier column.

The Mad Biker, Bob McClinton, reported in on his cross-country ride from Manhattan Beach, Calif., to Boston, and 1 excerpt: Thanks to over 260 friends across the land. I've sent in over $12,000 for cancer research and Ihe Bicyclists' Education and Legal Foundation. The ride went beautifully . . . I met many fascinating friends on die ride and along the way. Statistics . . . 3,446 miles, 61 cyclists, 43 days of cycling, plus 6 rest days. Eight flats, zero rain until 3 July, Lexington to Boston. Climbed more than 80,000 feel riding a 16speed bicycle, a Raleigh USA RT 600, a gift from the company. Tornadoes . . . we missed them at Guymon, Okla., and Abilene, Kan. We reached Abilene and cover shortly before a gust of 92 MPH hit the city, I believe in basements (and Bag Balm).

Grim day: 103°F from Indio to Blythe. Calif,, 100 desert miles. Liberal to Dodge City, Kan,, 83 miles with 16 MPH headwinds. .Made up for it, McPherson to Abilene, Kan., average speed 18,6 MPH with a stiff following wind. The pack: ages 19 to 73 years old (I was none of diese), 43 men, 18 women, one Canadian man, and one German woman. I discovered no introverts, I spun off 550 calories per hour overall—ate about five times a day. Left Sequim at 162, artived Boston at 162! At dinners, we put entire establishments out of business—or al least out of food and drink. Evenings were devoted to eating banana splits, sundaes and more. Got down about 4 beers per week, but vast quantities of Galorade and just plain wonderful water Our land is absolutely magnificent, as viewed leisurely al 15 MPH. 1 am so fortunate to have been given this rare opportunity— and to have been able to take full advantage of it.

Thank you for making it possible.

Bob is speculating on a bike ride to Paris.

Dwight Wadsworth rumbles in with this from Farmington, Corm.: I guess it is about time I reported in, although not too much has changed since the last time. I am still laboring in the engineering vineyard for about 20 hours a week when we are home in Farmington. Am trying to decrease my participation in many of the usual organizations, so that Lynne and I can do more traveling. Still active in Rotary, TROA, V I ^ , and the American Legion, but that's about it. Lynne and I are presently in Panama City Beach on the Florida panhandle for January and February, hoping to dodge the worst part of the Connecticut Winter We own three weeks of RCI timeshare in St. Thomas, V.I., so we bank it and use it to travel where the spirit takes us. I have been through the prostate cancer "mill" and now am completely free of it. Somewhat overweight with a few arthritic pains, none of which keep me from golf and occasional bowling.

Gene Portner comes in from Long Beach, Calif.: Through the years, Kay and 1 have had eleven offspring, maybe not a record, but noteworthy. All are professionals. One naval officer ('81), 3 lawyers, 3 computer software analysts, 1 school teacher 1 senior programs administrator, I artist, 1 account executive (utility). All graduated from 4-year college programs, USNA, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and Cal State (LB), After 20 years in Ihe CEC, I worked for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California as a registered civil engineer The last 10 years with thatfirmwere as Colorado River Aqueduct Engineer The Aqueduct, built in the 1930's is still Southern California's major and most reliable source of water And, from Portsmouth, Va., comes this bit from Bob Nottingham: After retiring from the Navy, worked as Plant Manager al Dulany Foods, Inc., Elmore, Va., for 71^2, years (1969-77). Retired for health, and since '77 have been fully retired, and am presently enjoying retirement in good healdi. I live alone in a condo in Olde Towne PortsmouUi. and enjoy walking the riverfront of the Elizabeth River Last week I celebrated my 6th birthday in Alcoholics Anonymous.

And a short squirt from John Chapman, who lives in Doylestown, Penna.: Nothing of note to report, I don't travel, and seldom, if ever see other Classmates, I went to the Army-Navy Alumni Dinner Dance, 4 December at Ihe Union League, Philadelphia, and did not see a soul that I knew except Jane and Larry Hess '47,

85

who go to everything! It was a fun evening with lots of hoopla and short words of navy spirit from the Navy brass in attendance (as well as Army, but who's paying attention?).

Bill Conway comes out of the woodwork with this information from Nashua, N.H., via the Alumni survey form most of us received and happily sent back in, some with poop for the Class Secretary: Our company, Conway Quality Inc., runs public and private seminars on Quality Management with a wide range of follow-on products and services such as the following: Quality Planning and Mission/ Vision Workshops; Facilitator and Team Leader Training Workshops; On-site consulting; Video Courses and Workbooks; and the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Tlie Quality Secret. Approximately 17 people work in the company. My wife, Jane, is active in the business and travels with me 120 nights a year. My daughter, Mary Jane is President, and another daughter Sharon, handles all my business arrangements. Our major accounts are spread all over the USA and Canada, and include the Navy, EXXON USA, CITGO, PUBLIX Super Markets, etc. Our 5 children, aged 43 to 29 are all well and doing well in both family and business activities. I run into many USNA grads in my business.

And here comes Neri (Oz) Osborn: I am completely retired here in San Diego. I keep busy with golf, fly fishing, birding, and stamp collecting. I golf regularly with Harvey Humphrey and Glen Savage. I see other Classmates from time to time. Quinn and I have 3 children. The oldest, Paul, lives in Northern Virginia, and visits bring us into the Washington area now and then. Dan, our other son, practices medicine in Northern California. Our daughter, Kathleen, lives in San Diego.

A brief note from Ken Phillips in Sun City West, Ariz.: "My first wife of 33 years died from ALS in 1987. I married my current wife, Ginny, in August 1989."

1 reported Red Van Kirk's death in the last column, but Ed Ortleib provided this additional information, which needs to be heard: After a heroic eight year struggle with several forms of cancer, Red died at home in Virginia Beach. Following a 20-year career as afighterpilot, 'Red Dog' had a successful real estate career in Virginia Beach, including ownership of Anchor Realty, Throughout his several bouts with various recurrences of cancer, he characteristically kept his positive attitude, his sense of humor, and his determination. He was an inspiration to all who knew him. His widow. Sue, plans to remain active in Class activities, including the 45th reunion.

And this last from Dave Marder: Just finished a telephone conversation with Art Hull. Not having seen Art or his wife. Dawn, since about 1949, we had quite a bit to catch up on. Art won't be able to make the 45th (neither will I, as I'll be abroad), but he suggested that we consider having our 50th on the West Coast, and Dawn suggested dial the facilities of the PG School in Monterey would be ideal. I think it is one hell of a good idea.

There are a number of Classmates on the West Coast who, for one reason or another cannot make it East.

We might circulate this idea at the 45th!

Navy plays San Diego State in San Diego 3 September 1994. June Week West will meld with the game as Homecoming West. More on this as it develops.

Now for class news.

Don Fisher writes: My wife Chris and I took a two-week cruise tour of Alaska in June 1993. Prior to the tour we spent three days visiting my Youngster year roommate, John Oesterreicher and his wife Betsy in Anacortes. They have a lovely home which has a great view of the San Juan Islands. We had not seen each other since 1955 and had lots of catching up and exchanging sea stories.

In the never ending saga of "who's youngest in the Class" we received this from P. E. "John" Ellsworth: I'm writing you in regards to Bill Eaton's claim in the June 1993 Shipmate of being the youngest member of '49. I have to lake the claim away from him since my birthdate is Il/l 1/27â&#x20AC;&#x201D;two months and ten days before his. I guess I'm the "baby" of our Class unless someone else has an earlier birthday and wants to claim the title.

We received the following notice from Edward Adkins via the Alumni Association: I have opened a new lawfirmknown as Adkins & Kise, PA. located at 2175 Barnett Plaza, 101 East Kennedy Blvd., Tampa, Fla, 33602; 813 221-2200 and fax 813 221-8850, My home address remains 3938 Venetian Way, Tampa, Ha. 33614; 813 884-1102.

Our Hampton Roads Class correspondent Tom Parsons submits the following report; Neither heat, haze, nor humidity, and we have had lots of that, could discourage the socializing of the Hampton Road '49ers during June.

The Norfolk Yacht Club was the scene for our regular monthly meeting. Malcolm Thiele, our coordinator and a member of Ihe Yacht Club, set it up. The management, knowing Mai, put us all by ourselves in the bar.

We had a good tum out consisting of Magee, Thiele, Roos, Dahlman, Schriefer Linder Trueblood, Frazee, King, Parsons and Bob Kefler, VMI Class of 1950 and Red Hessell '37, both guests of Jack Magee.

Then on the 19th, Wanda and Marvin Frazee invited all of us to a cookout at their beautiful Princess Anne Hills home. Rose Marie and Jack Benoit. in town for the Bar Association meeting, were able to join us as were Jane and Bob Fellows, whom we hadn't seen for awhile. See the related captioned pictures for Ihe other attendees. We all gave Marvin and Wanda a 4,0 for a superbly organized evening, which even included a 49er flag made just for the occasion. It's above Arch Roos' head in the group shot.

Many thanks lo Marvin and Wanda from all of us for a great evening.

We received notice that Kay Smith, widow of our Classmate James H. P. Smith, died on 20 July at the Winchester Medical Center in Virginia. Long resident of Berryville, Va., Kay was a founder of the Seahorse Trading Company and had careers in modeling and retailing. She is survived by two daughters and a grandson. Our condolences to Kay's family and friends.

Pres., RAdm. Milton J. Schultz USN (Ret.) Sec'y Capt. Wayne L. Jensen USN (Ret.) 499 Skyhill Ct., Chula Vista, Calif. 92010 In last month's Shipmate it was reported that thanks to the efforts of Sam Durham, John Robertson Dunham's name was added to the list of men who have died displayed in Memorial Hall at USNA. Now Mary Dunham Nichols, John's widow, writes to say that her family group was part of a gathering of 600 at a "No Greater Love Luncheon" remembering those who died in the Korean Conflict and honoring the families left behind. That event followed a ceremony at the Amphitheater at Arlington Cemetery to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Cease-Fire of the Korean Conflict. As one can imagine, all these events have had a profound effect on Mary and her family. She wishes to thank the Class of '50 for all of its efforts and in particular Sam Durham, Tom Ross and Daryle Tripp. Mary sends along a picture of John Dunham's two grandchildren who point to their grandfather's name on the Honor Roll at USNA. In the July/August Shipmate it was noted that Char and Bob Monroe had moved "Back East" and now Bob writes to confirm and say that I even got their address right. R. R. adds his new telephone is 703 242-8756. The move decision was brought about when the frequency of travel from the Bay Area to D.C. reached the weekly level. The Monroe's three children live in San Diego, Boulder and Vienna, Va., and with four grandchildren there is still reason to travel and visit, but no more moves according to Char and R. R. As manager of government operations for Bechtel National, Inc (BNI) Bob finds the work "challenging and exciting beyond description."

Shipmate, October 1993

Homecoming West, and the NAVY/San Diego State Football game 1994 all rolled into one on the weekend of 3 September 1994 in San Diego, Calif. As Ed emphasizes, "Experience has shown that a large number of Alumni read only their Class Columns and miss much of the other information in Shipmate.

Nevertheless, Navy will play San Diego State University in football in San Diego on 3 September 1994.

Plans are being developed to emphasize the Sea Services to both highlight the game and to capitalize on it. June Week West '94 will be held within this larger framework which will be called Homecoming West.

Ticket applications with a JWW '94 flyer will be mailed by the Alumni Association in May 1994 to all Alumni in the Western Area. Seating will be on a first come basis. A block of 200 rooms has been reserved at the Town and Country Hotel which is about a mile from Jack Murphy San Diego Stadium, where the game will be played. This hotel will be our headquarters for the weekend and the site of a number of JWW activities. Four Classes, '46, '51, '53, and '67 have already indicated that they will hold reunions during this period. The May 1994 issue of Shipmate will contain a Schedule of Events and include reservation forms and other information. Ed Ellis at PO Box 8394, Victorville, Calif. 92392, 619 243-1885, will provide copies directly to those who request them. It will be more than a football game or a June Week West or a Class reunion, it will be a "Happening" with the U.S. Navy image projected around the world. Make your plans early!

Harry Krantzman tells of the July gathering of Washington area Classmates. There were: Bob Bisselle, Kelly Carr, John Cavanaugh, Lew Goldbeck, John Henderson (bragging on his new grandchild bom in February and reporting his retirement from the Navy Federal Credit Union on 1 September), Bill Kiehl, Harry Krantzman, Stan Krohn, Ward Lasley, Jim Lynn, Gayle May, J.

George Nelson, Dick Powell, Tom Rogers, Roy Snyder, Don Stull, and Daryle Tripp. Dick Powell was most happy to be back home after an eventful couple of months on the road. Fran and Dick spent two weeks in England at a Harvard Business School twentieth reunion in Bath. He found foreign Classmates expressing concern over the lack of U.S. leadership and direction in international events with U.S. types worrying about the intra-generational transfer of wealth. The Powells toured Cottswolds, the Roman baths, Salisbury, Stratford-on-Avon and Sarum among others. They stayed at the Naval Club in London and met a recently discovered second cousin in Luton. It tums out that there were probably some horsethieves in the Powell family back in the 15th century.

On the retum to the States, Dick attended the Association of Naval Aviation convention in New Orleans and then on to the Powell beach place in Sandbridge and finally to Long Island, to move Dick's mother out of a big old house and into a two bedroom condo in nearby McLean. Dick leaves us with one piece of advice, "Having completed my study in sociology and life—I can now tell you to start throwing out junk now!"

Bill Martin writes from Hawaii with a new address for Tom Ikeler at 9397 Midnight Pass Road #403, Sarasota, Fla. 34242, to which Tom replies, "I am enjoying retirement, but 1 didn't know I was lost." John Cavanaugh has been going through the process of applying for retirement benefits and he has some observations that might just impact on the whole entitlement game that our elected officials are still trying tofigureout. Your C S . won't try to interpret John's information nor attempt to give any legal advice—I will merely quote John word for word. According to John: Military service from 1940 to 1956 can give you $150 per month credit on Social Security earnings.

This is not reflected on your earnings statement and is only credited when you apply for Social Security and submit proof of service. The four years at Canoe U. counts, and you may have to write to the USNA registrar for proof of service. This time can also be used if necessary to give you 40 quarters of coverage. This was worth $I00/month for me. I'll waive my usualfindersfee if you'll send it to Jim Lynn for the 1950 fund to help buy memorial chairs and flowers etc.

As to just who this might apply to I have no idea, but would appreciate any information of a similar nature on applicability so that at least the Class of '50 can be kept up to date on rights and benefits.

Most remember that Charles A. (Chuck) Orem is the retired President and CEO of Bird Johnson Company. Following retirement Chuck was recruited by Intemational Executive Service Corps (lESC) and he has now completed a tour with lESC in Tomsk, Russia where he served as a volunteer. While in Tomsk he assisted in analyzing prospects for defense conversion and privatization. In his analysis of eight enterprises he made recommendations as to which products could be manufactured to meet a market need at a cost low enough to ensure profitability. lESC is a not-for-profit organization of American business persons devoted to providing managerial and technical assistance to private enterprises in developing countries. Funding for lESC projects is shared by the client receiving assistance and the United States Agency for Intemational Development (USAID). For more information on lESC one can write R. Jerry Hargitt, VP Recruiting, lESC, PO Box #10005, Stamford, Conn. 06904, 203 967-6000.

J. B. Farrell writes from Hawaii to say that the base realignment decisions as they affect our 50th state don't make much sense. According to locals and to people in the know, the movement of VP's to Kaneohe is a real mistake. J. B. sends along an article from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin in which Ron Hays presents his views on what the president might do to

88

improve our state of affairs. On the 12th of July, if the President had asked Ron to play golf, and if he had asked what Ron had on his mind, Ron would have replied—Improve your image as commander-inchief. If you are perceived as a supporter of the military, the problems so widely reported will disappear.

Loyalty and support both up and down the chain of command are expected. Settle the gay issue (done).

Close out the Navy Tailhook scandal. Appoint civilian leadership in the Pentagon (progressing). Remove the uncertainty about the future of the military forces, and never miss an opportunity to tell military people that they are important to the nation and that they are supported by the Commander-in-Chief. As for the Pacific Rim, withdrawal of too many forces will create a vacuum that will quickly damage our vital interests. These then were a few of Ron's thoughts had he been asked to play golf with the President and they most likely echo many of our own thoughts.

George Ruos writes from Longwood, Fla., with the news that as of 10 June he retired from his last job of teaching high school algebra and geometry after 111^2, years. Fran and George celebrated the occasion by driving to San Francisco visiting friends and relatives along the way. They visited with Birch DeWitt and his fiancee in Carlsbad (Carol Olson and Birchard B. DeWitt are now man and wife and hosted a reception to celebrate their marriage at the El Camino Country Club in Oceanside, Calif., on 11 September.) and with Sally and Paul Soteropulos in Mandeville, La. The trip also included a couple of days with Tom Bulger and June and Joe McLernan.

With that much time on the road, George says next time he will fly, and that will be to the Class of '50 45th reunion in San Diego in June of 1995.

Walt Davis reports from Seattle on the events of June Week West '93 in Seattle the end of July. On Friday the 30th attendees had cocktails in the Presidential Suite of the Stouffer Madison Hotel and then proceeded to the Rainier Club for dinner. Afterwards they were able to view the Seafair Torchlight Parade from the porch of the club. It was a truly wonderful evening for all. The Class of '50 was second in the number of attendees and they were: Mary and John Coughlin, John MacKenzie, Judy and Chuck Clark, Janet and George Conatore, Carol Olson and Birch DeWitt, Jeanne and Frank Holcomb, Millie and George Michie, Joanne and Ted Smith, Bobbie and Walt Davis, Maxine and Bud Congdon and Ruth and Maurice Condit. (Picture of JWW Seattle '93 enclosed) There is no report of the San Diego August '50 luncheon gathering in this issue because we were preempted at the Naval Station Club by some higher authority. So we took care of all business on the golf course. There are six regulars on the '50 team— Mark Frudden, John Malloy, Stan Neander, Don Elliott, Wayne Jensen and Bill Grimm.

Pres., Cdr. John W. Hamilton USN (Ret.) Sec'y, William W. Boyes, Jr. 2214 McAuliffe Dr, Rockville, Md. 20851 Another one of our Old Guard bit the dust on 29 July 1993: Harrell (Hal) Willoughby Hall, Jr. It was Sam Latimer who called me up with that bit of bad news and said Hal had died rather abruptly of complete renal failure, with which dialysis could not cope. I then called Hal's old roomie, Bryan Compton, in Demopolis, Ala., and in no time at all we were reminiscing about the troop transport GENERAL BREWSTER, that a whole gaggle of us went out to Korea on, e.g., Hal, Beaker, Al Raithel, Marv

Duke, Norm Busse, your old scribe and some others whose names now escape me. We all read The Caine Mutiny on the way over and Hal and Beaker started a shirt pressing business (laundry service on MSTS vessels was abominable), but they seemed to bum more shirts than seemed worthwhile, so the budding entrepreneurs declared bankruptcy. Hal has been cremated and his ashes will be inurned in the Naval Academy Columbarium by the time you read this.

A whole slew of Classmates called and wrote to tell me Reily Love's beloved wife, Beverly, had finally succumbed on 20 July 1993 to the cancer that had been ravaging her body for years. Bev was a commissioned Marine Officer for seven years before leaving the corps to raise a son and daughter with Reily One who called was Dick Dalla Mura, who reiterated that his Dad is 90, his mother 92, and they are still driving down to Florida every November and back up to New Hampshire in April. Sure wish I had those genes coursing through my body. Dick has bitten the bullet and started construction of the dream house for him and Emily in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. It will have all the amenities to accommodate Emily's M.S. and a large kitchen which Dick finds he is puttering around in more so than ever.

An important discovery was made about six years ago by Sam Ginder, your old scribe, and one or two other inebriated Classmates as they wandered around the Academy grounds one night after a rousing round or two of good cheer. We discovered that the CIR brick has disappeared. You may recall that those initials could roughly be translated as: "Criminentalies, It's Rough." Anyway, the entire Tecumseh Courtyard was re-bricked. The old ones had lasted from 1908 until 1983 and the one 1 bought from the Midshipmen's Store looks like it could have lasted another two hundred years or more. Nevertheless, some lame brain decided to re-do the entire court with larger bricks but nobody has had the guts to walk off seven paces in front of the portside cannon and chisel in another CIR. The next thing you know, they'll be spiking those other Tecumseh Court cannons which used to go off whenever a particular type of female walked in front of them.

Jim Miller, our financial genius from New York City, has recommended that our Class funds be switched out of bond mutual funds and into a gold fund. Jim has lectured and written books on the world wide gold shortage, predicts that the deflationary depression we are now in will tum into hyperinflation as the Government tries to spend the economy out of the depression. Jim is very worried about October 1993, especially if the current equity market booms irrationally through September and everybody says the end of the year will be fantastic.

While visiting a friend and author of several books on UFOs (a mutual interest since 1 had seen how NASA covered them all up) in Lake Monticello, Va., I decided to drop by and visit with a Classmate from my old 23rd Co., Reece Belk. Reece and Linda have acquired a 280 acre spread they have called "Tall Trees Farm." On it they are raising alfalfa and about 80 head of Black Angus, mixed with White Faced Herefords, which is giving Reece a much better than average rate of male prodigy—much preferred in the meat industry Linda is a nurse at U. VA., so 1 missed her but noted that running a cattle farm is not that physically demanding. Recce's protests to the contrary notwithstanding. 1 mean every other day or so Shipmate, October 1993

My old car pool buddy from Pensacola days of yore, Swede Larson, went back to the old country with Carly and took a side trip over to St. Petersburg in the old workers' paradise. Says there are no longer any lines for food, clothing and other essentials, but prices are high and it's 1,100 rubles to the buck. He also mentioned the sun never set in Scandinavia in July but it was still cold.

The mid-reunion set for September 1994 in San Diego has now blossomed into June Week West. The Classes of '46, '53, and '67 have also indicated they'll have mini-reunions. The Naval Academy Athletic Association has a block of 10,000 tickets for the San Diego State game, and could get more if they are needed, at about 25 bucks each. John Tillson and the other "California Casuals" are on top of this, needless to say, and will be doing mailouts and announcements in this column as the time approaches reality, and checks have to be written to tie down motel rooms, boat tour, game tickets, etc.

As might be expected, I received quite a bit of correspondence and phone calls on Ed Guthrie and Billy Bell. Swede Larson had known from his tour on the U.N. Armistice Commission at Panmunjon that the North Koreans had murdered Ed Guthrie, but despite the voluminousfileon Ed, his exact cause of death was unknown. However, an ex-USAF Intelligence Officer had access to other files and provided that information about Ed spitting in the face of a North Korean Officer and consequently being thrown in a hole and deliberately starved to death.

However, Swede was adamant that he knew nothing about Billy Bell. He said there were (and still are) thousands of files on U.S. Military Personnel and by the time Swede came onboard, Billy was just one of thousands who had already automatically been declared KIA in December of 1953 when none of them showed up for repatriation.

Jane Griffith, Billy's widow (if he is in fact deceased) has since remarried but decided after years of widowhood to retain her maiden name. Jane and Harry Heneberger's wife. Belle Gordon Griffith, are sisters, by the way.

But to put it mildly, Billy Bell's widow, Jane, was extremely incensed by the manner in which she and her son, Billy Bell, Jr. had been and still are being treated by DOD. Perhaps mistreated might be a better description. The Bells and Griffiths are essentially being ignored. Jane asked me to see if members of the Class of '51 (Second to None) could also write and put pressure on their two Senators and one Congressman "urging them to get to the bottom of this horrifying situation, a situation that appears to have [our] own government withholding information from family members about the destiny of our servicemen . . . Read Soldiers of Misfortune and weep."

1 would like this to be a clarion call for us to get off our dead duffs and do something—anything—to find Billy Bell, or at least find out about him. The North Koreans have plenty to hide, e.g., torture, starvation, mutilation and murder of helpless POW's from a forgotten forty-year old Police Action that we are all veterans of. But what does DOD, USAF Intelligence, U.N. Armistice Commission, CIA, DIA, NSA, ONI, etc. have to hide? And worse yet, why are they still hiding it?

For now, I'll leave it at that—Walt

he has to count the cows and has to bring in hay for Winter feeding and makes sure the vet gives them all their shots. But, hey, that isn't even a 40-hour work week which Reece had as a Beltway Bandit for several years. They are redecorating the pre-Civil War farmhouse and it is in magnificent condition—a real show place and Reece is rightly proud of it, as 1 am sure Linda is. too, since I can recognize a feminine touch here and there in the decor.

Pres., Louis K. McMillan, Jr. Sec'y Capt. Leigh Ebbert USN (Ret.) 2514 Culpeper Rd., Alexandria, Va. 22308 Among the interesting aspects of writing this column is that I periodically get involved in small projects. One such product is the disposition of the Army blanket that I wrote about in June. Lou McMillan has spoken to Jack Lengyel and who has offered to consider a suitable mounting. In putting together the package, I looked at the '52 Lucky Bag to see what had been written about the 1951 Army-Navy game; "From the moment of the opening kickoff, there was magic in the touch of the Midshipmen, and they could do no wrong. The football that Navy men had come to believe always rebounded the other way suddenly began popping into their arms with unerring accuracy" . . . Navy 42 . . . Army 7. And lo-andbehold there is a picture captioned "To the victors . . . " that has a picture of the blanket being held by Coach Erdelatz (I think!). Not only a great team, a great coach, but an outstanding Brigade.

The July Washington, D.C., luncheon provided an opportunity for talking with one another. Tom Griffin appeared after a long time away. Attending: Jim Troutman, Gamett Bailey, Dick Denfeld, Dick Smith, Hork Dimon, Jim Stone, Frank Hannegan, Al Bress, Jerry Zacharias, Bill Studabaker, Ron Hattin, Lou McMillan, Jim Fischer, Walt Locke, Howard McCollum, Jake Brown, George Lester, Tom Griffin, Bob Reed, Jim Organ, Bob Lancaster, Bill Laux, Jerry Hyndman, Bill Lykes, Art Thompson, Dick Laulor, and Tom Thawley.

Had a letter from Capt. Ed Ellis '46, USN (Ret.) talking about Navy playing San Diego State University in football in San Diego on 3 September 1994. In connection with the game, plans are being developed to emphasize the Sea Services and the maritime industry In addition, June Week West (JWW) '94 will be held within this larger framework, which will be called Homecoming West. Additional information will be forthcoming. It might be an opportunity for some of us to rendezvous with the Southern California contingent.

You will have received the Class President's annual letter by the time you read this. Remember this is the year we elect a new president. Lou's term will be over in May 1994. We expect to have the annual meeting in April.

Let us know what is going on with you.

Pres., VAdm. William E. Ramsey USN (Ret.) Sec'y LCol. David B. Jones USNF (Ret.) 6708 Pageland Lane, Gainesville, Va. 22065 1 received a letter inraid-Julyfrom Debbie Wimer informing me that her dad, our Classmate Raymond Lewis Moonan, had "passed away on approximately 30 May 1993." She and her brother Raymond Brooks Moonan were having troublefindingout how to make arrangements for a military funeral. However, she had just found Bob Lowell's name in some of her dad's papers. They had called Bob and he gave them some helpful advice and also suggested that she inform me so the word could get out to the Class through Shipmate (Thanks, Bob). 1 called her, but she was very busy with a bunch of young kids and said she would call back if she had further problems.

She hasn't called back so I'm assuming that Bob's advice solved her problems. At any rate, we are sad90

dened to learn of Ray's death and send our most sincere sympathy to Debbie, her brother Brooks, and the rest of Ray's family.

A letter from Sally and Darrell Dempster notes that after attending a family reunion in Van Buren, Ark., in June they stopped in Perry, Mo., to visit Shirley and Roy Fishback. Shirley was Sally's roommate at Maryland and she and Roy introduced Sally and Darrell in 1956 and "the rest is history" Roy is now retired from the newspaper business and Shirley is retired from teaching. They are active in sailing on the Mark Twain Lake near Perry and also work at the marina (hope the floods didn't affect them). On the drive back from Missouri Sally and Darrell stopped in Lexington, Va., to see the Lee Chapel at Washington and Lee University. After seeing a picture of Fitzhugh Lee, Darrell remarked to the lady al the gift counter "that there was a Fitzhugh Lee in the Navy."

The lady acknowledged that and remarked that her husband was a Naval Academy graduate. Class of 1953. Her name was Alice Furgerson and her husband is John Furgerson who is an Episcopal Minister in the Lexington area. Small world! Thanks, Sally and Darrell.

Tofinishthe rest of Patti and George Knighton's letter we learn that while George had intended to stay at Boeing forever, common sense got the best of him in a weak moment and he left work on 1 May for a two month vacation (we call it using up our accrued leave George). He officially retired on 1 July. The two months off weren't all fun and games as he spent much of the time taking physicals, getting dental work done, getting medical treatments, vision tests and completing mountains of retirement paperwork, etc. In between and since then, George has been very active with Softball. He pitches on two Softball teams and usually has three games a week. Recently he pitched six games in three days. He admits that "the arm got a little sore in the 6th game." Patti is still taking care of the grandkids for their daughter and says "George retired, not me." Their daughter-in-law Marilyn and two boys will stay with them until it is time to go to Okinawa to join her newly commissioned chaplain husband, so it should be a busy and noisy time at the Knighton's. They are looking forward to the 40th and it will be good to see them again. Thanks, Patti and George.

A postcard from Juneau, Alaska from Margot and Tom Southerland says they are having a good tour with sunny days in Alaska. They took a sensational helicopter flight from Juneau over the mountains, across the glaciers and icefieldsto look for an adult Stellar's Sea Eagle, an Asian species spending time in Alaska for several years. They sweated the search for awhile as no one had looked for or seen the eagle in over a week. However, perseverance paid off for theyfinallyspotted it low in a tree before getting great views of it. Tom says "All birds are equal but this one is truly a class bird." Thanks, Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;bring us some pictures.

Have had some nice visits recently from Dot and Sam Houston and from Laura and Roy Feaga and their granddaughter Jackie. The Houstons live in Cocoa Beach, Fla., and we try and get together once or twice a year. It was fun this time to have them visit us at our cabin where Sam could give me tips on small boat handling. Laura and Roy are living in Houston, Texas but are looking forward to moving back to Alabama sometime soon where they hope to build or buy a lakefront home on Lake Martin near Montgomery.

We also had a very small '53 reunion when Octa and Larry Watson, Audrey and Mike Greeley and Sally and 1 met for two days in Roanoke, Va., for a board meeting for a small farm supply company we are all involved with. We also attended a Southern States Farmers Cooperative Vendor's show where we had a great time looking at the Fall and Winter line and picking up free samples. The first draft of this column was written with a pen from that show. You

pick up things where you can.

On a recent trip to the Midwest to visit relatives and some of our Winter Florida friends, we also got to have a wonderful visit with Carol Prieb, the widow of Chuck Prieb. Chuck was in the 10th Company with me and the four of us were good friends then and even double dated during the Army-Navy game weekend First Class year. We have stayed in Christmas Card communication with an occasional visit over the years, but this was the first time we got to see the lovely farm that Carol and Chuck had built and developed in Douglas, Mich., right near the charming little resort town of Saugatuck. The Priebs, as you might remeraber, bred and raised National and Internationa! Show and Field Trial Champion English Setters. They also had begun breeding and raising harness horses before Chuck became ill. Carol has stopped showing the dogs, although she has four lovely and very friendly setter bitches (always wanted to use that word in Shipmate) dogging her every step, but she has, if anything, become more involved with the horses. Several of their horses have become stakes winners, which is the big time for you non-horse people, and she also has had some good hard knocking winners which are the backbone of any stable. We had a great visit with her, reminiscing, walking the farm, petting the dogs and admiring the young horses. She can't make the 40th as she has a horse conflict but she says she will try and make the 45th.

1 have received letters from the Chairman of the San Diego Chapter's June Week West '94 Committee and from our Jack Davis, both talking about the plans for JWW '94 in San Diego. As mentioned about 7 or 8 columns ago Jack and the rest of the San Diego '53 crowd are and have been planning a 41st West Coast '53 reunion in conjunction with the NavySan Diego State Football game on 3 September 1994.

This planning effort has been merged with the San Diego Chapter's plans for JWW '94 and will take place over the 1 September-4 September 1994 weekend. This is what Jack and his friends have planned for us. Our reunion, as well as JWW, will be headquartered at the Town And Country Hotel in Mission Valley, San Diego which is pretty close to the football stadium. We should arrive on Thursday, 1 September, register, and then attend a Thursday evening Cocktail Party. On Friday there will be golf, tennis and bridge tournaments, tours and maybe a graduation parade at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot or Navy Recruit Center if they are still open, and if there are still some recruits. Friday evening will feature a Class of '53 reception and dinner dance. On Saturday there will be a pre game rally and brunch and then a tailgate at Jack Murphy Stadium followed by the game. That night there will be a reception and dinner dance for all USNA Classes. Chapel in the morning on Sunday followed by ship tours in the afternoon. Monday, which is Labor Day, will feature tours departing for an optional stay in Las Vegas before heading home.

Or, one can stay in the area and visit friends or just plain pack it in and go straight home. Jack has a block of rooms booked for '53 at the Town And Country at $89 per night single or double. You can order football game tickets within the Navy block directly from the Athletic Association next year and Jack suggests that since we should all be 62 or older by the Fall of '94 we should get senior citizenflightcoupons on American Airiines, or any other participating airline that goes to San Diego. He says that is probably the best air deal. This sounds as if it could be a lot of fun and it really is about time that the Easterners head west.

Think about it and let Jack know if you are interested.

They need to start getting some firm idea on possible numbers fairiy soon. Thanks, Jack. Jack's address is John B. Davis, 1718 Visalia Row, Coronado, Calif.

Bruce Ogden sent me a couple of pictures of him that were taken when he was in East Beriin in June.

Shipmate, October 1993

The pictures were taken in a prominent fountain that featured a statue of Neptune that Bruce says was practically identical to the Neptune on our Class crest. He was further amused to discover that one of the four maidens gracing the walls is portrayed with none other than BILL THE GOAT! He wonders if this could be one of our former arch enemy's best kept secrets that was hidden behind the Iron Curtain all those years. He adds "Whatever the historical background may be, it clearly demonstrates that the creator certainly had impeccably good taste." Thanks, Bruce.

Pictures this month include those of Bruce in the fountain, the Dempsters and the Fishbacks, a shot of Sally with the Houstons, a shot of the Raffaeles with the Eddys, a shot of Barbara Armel surrounded by Earl Griggs and Arliss Simmons, a shot of Mickey and Bud Kauderer with Sue Albright, a shot of Laura and Roy Feaga with their granddaughter, and a shot of Chuck Mumford with Don Lawrence.

This is a little short this month because I don't have much news, and besides, you shouldn't need much as you will still be pumped up from the big 40th. 1 will try and see if the editors will give me a delayed deadline for the November issue so 1 can make it a report on the 40th. If they don't you will have to wait until the December issue.

Mumford and Lawrence Don't forget Class luncheons are on thefirstTuesday of each month at 1130 at the Fort McNair Officer's Club. We tailgate in the stadium parking lot behind the Elks Club from 1030 or so on before every home football game. It is an unstructured sort of potluck affair. Sally and 1 or one or two other couples will provide hot dogs and burgers and a grill and everybody else should bring something good—salads, fruits, appetizers, veggies, soups or chili, desserts, etc. Come share and have fun. The annual USNAUSMA '53 luncheon with wives will probably take the place of the December luncheon—more on this later Go Navy! Beat Somebody! Cheers, Dave.

"Ed" Dawson, Jr. 6601 Howie Ct., Camp Springs, Md. 20748 (301) 449-7419; FAX (301) 595-2586 The following announcement was received from Phil Graessle and should have been included in the August issue of Shipmate. I apologize for misplacing it. Phil reports that Classmate David E. Ferguson died in April of this year of pancreatic cancer in La 91

Jolla, Calif. Dave's 24 year naval career included Executive Officer of SHELTON, C O . of both ENERGY and MANLEY. After retirement Dave worked with ARINC Research Corp. in San Diego and later with Metiers Industries in Washington, DC. The Class expresses its condolences to his family and especially to his wife, Lois.

Sadly, another Classmate, Theodore F. Ascherfeld (14 Co.) passed away of a heart attack on 2 July in Santa Rosa, Calif. After retirement in 1974 Ted worked in hydrofoil development in Hawaii. He also served as First Mate in several ships of the Military Sealift Command. He is survived by his former wife, Jeanette and two children, all residing in Paris, France. The Class wishes to express its sorrow to Ted's family for their loss. Thanks to Leo Orsino and Pat Patrick for forwarding the above info.

I took lots of pictures at the annual Class picnic held at Fred Franco's farm in Virginia. 1 will publish them during the coming months. As expected, this year's event was bigger and better than ever. Mark your 1994 calendar so that you will attend with us on the second Saturday in August . . . be there! Maria and Bill Johnson won the long distance award for coming from Australia!

Audrey and Dick Robey send regards to the Class and invite any and all to visit with them in their home in Bethany Beach, Del. One night at sea, the ship's captain saw what looked like the lights of another ship heading toward him. He had his signalman blink to the other ship: "Change your course 20 degrees south." The reply came back: "Change your course 20 degrees north."

The ship's captain answered: "1 am a captain. Change your course solith!" To which the reply was: "Well, 1 am a seaman first class. Change your course north."

This infuriated the captain, so he signaled back: "I say change your course south. I am in a battleship!"

To which the reply came back: "And I say change your course north. 1 am in a lighthouse. . . . Sir\" Chuck Horowitz checks in from New York. He includes a picture taken during the Mobile Riverine Force reunion at the Chattanooga Choo Choo Holiday Inn. He says he's drinking seltzer water because of his medication. The lady on Chuck's left is the wife of his radioman in his squadron, RivRon9, in Vietnam. Chuck says the reunion was the first in 26 years where he got to renew experiences with his comrades who served with him in the rivers, swamps and jungles of the Mekong Delta. Chuck emceed the banquet. There was also a memorial service that brought out deep emotional feelings for all. As tears welled up among the group, many felt it to be a cleansing experience.

The Horowitz's spent their 32nd anniversary with their daughter in the windy city of Chicago. Chuck wants to relocate when he retires from Sperry in the near future and requests anyone to suggest somewhere that is healthy, active, moderately priced with access to a military facility. All of you realtors out there may contact Chuck at 31 Whistler Hill Lane, Huntington, N.Y 11743.

Don Meyer missed the picnic because he was OinC for a Middle Cruise during July and August in the Navy Sailing Ship CHESAPEAKE (NYS-18) assigned to the Hampton Roads area. It's a 53-foot Gulfstar displacing 22 tons. He had two Navy Lt. 's as instructors for 11 Mids from Duke, GWU and Hampton Roads. They have already had some gray-hull time and they will be building character more than anything else. [Good work and good sailing, Don . . . and watch out for those rocks and shoals . . . and lighthouses.]

Arnold Heiting finally has a grandson. His wife says he became ambitious and built a cradle for Brandon Donovan Jones, born 1 July. Enclosed is a picture of him, his daughter Lissa and baby. Thanks to Jo Ann for writing.

Edmund H. Ellis '46 has written me that he is the Chairman of June Week West for next year. Major events and exciting activities are being planned. Navy will be playing San Deigo State on 3 September 1994. For further info contact Capt. Ellis at PO. Box 8394, Victorville, Calif. 92392 (619 243-1885).

Eugene "Booge" Stevenson, M.D. attended the picnic and sent me a snapshot. He says he has run the Marine Corps Marathon three times and has managed to finish despite being the slowest man to ever run the Naval Academy obstacle course. The picture was taken at a party that honored Steve Eisenhauer's induction into the Academic All American Hall of Fame last year.

Bill "Willie Lump-Lump" Hargrave writes that he had an enjoyable Spring watching Navy Lacrosse make the playoffs, ranked 7th and losing to Loyola in the first round. Enclosed is a picture of several members of our old team gathered at home after the ArmyNavy game. Navy came from behind and won the game. Included in the picture is RAdm. Charles Buchanan '26, our Commandant, who played inhome for Navy's great teams in the mid-20's. Present from the 1954 National Championship team were Classmates Willie Hunter, Bill Hoover, Steve "Louie" Jordan and Bill Hargrave. Out of '55 shown are Jack Renard, Eddie Turner, Dave Koonce.

We are looking forward to gathering vintage, that is, "old" as in elderiy, not as in distilled to perfection, lacrosse players at a home game next year . . . Best regards. Lump. [Sec'y note; Bill, if you build it, they will come!. . .in fact you can sign me up and put me on the list as a non-lacrosse playing baseballer who wants to know what this sport that Max Bishop used to call "that crazy Indian game!" is all about. . . is it something like giri's field hockey? . . . Eddie.]

'54 Class Luncheons

At the picnic we had Maryland crabs, roast pig (whole), silver queen com on the cob, hangerbers (sic), hot dogs, salad and cole slaw . . . for those of you that didn't get any, I ate all the shrimp!

When I was a young Ensign aboard a destroyer home ported in Newport, R.I. my XO was a very meticulous person. I was assigned the duty, among many collateral duties, to prepare a special report and analysis of the living conditions and recreational facilities for enlisted personnel on board. After a week of intensive research and investigation I submitted my 12 page written report . . . only to have it returned to me within an hour. The note said it had to be redone. Dutifully I redid it, getting very little sleep for another week. The document again went to the XO's desk, and an hour later it was retumed with memo asserting that he expected better and asked that the work be done again. Frustrated, 1 went back to the drawing board once more. After another week of intensive work I asked that 1 be granted permission to present the report personally to my Executive Officer. When we came face to face I said, "Commander, I've spent another sleepless week. This is the very best 1 can do." It was at this time that I leamed a great lesson in leadership when he responded, "In that case, now I will read it."

Hang in there guys and gals . . . I'll be back with you next month . . . God said it, I believe it, that settles it. . . and don't forget that we're all in this alone! . . . Love to all . . . Eddie.

Shipmate, October 1993

I've got to share this with you . . . that picnic was truly worth the time to travel to get there. If you didn't make it, well, there were stories, really funny, humorous tales about, of course, you and me . . . about instructors, athletic teams and coaches from Ihe past that would caress your heart with nostalgia and belly-laughter. Here I was with my Canon SureShot camera taking pictures, but not "capturing the words," the true inner feelings of the many of you who have so much to input this, your Class column. I do hereby implore each of you that feels so inclined to sincerely participate with printable stories of interest to all of us ex-midshipmachines.

Here's the challenge . . . In 300 words or less, tell me about either: (1) The one person on earth, past or present, that you would like to interview or talk with for an hour. . . and/or (2) The person or persons that you admire most that influenced your military or private lives/career. Please give reasons for your response. Winners are guaranteed to be published in an internationally distributed military journal.

For extra added credit you may select to participate by answering either or both of the following questions: (3a) HISTORY: Describe the history of humanity from its origins to the present day, concentrating especially, but not exclusively on its social, political, economic, religious and philosophical impact on Europe. Asia, America and Africa. Be brief, concise and specific. (3b) SOCIOLOGY: What sociological problems might accompany the end of the world?

Briefly discuss the proof of your theory . . . Good luck!

The Wes Saunders Annual Crab Feast and Cavort-by-the-Severn extravaganza on 10 July was a big hit. This year's crab crack was livened up almost

by The Hunt for Red's Index Finger. Seems Wes nearly lost one while harvesting crabs in preparation for the feast. Joining in the hunt were: John and Debbie Adams, Barry and Sally Bowen, Bob and Betsy Fountain, Geoff and Suzie Gardner, Don and Nancy Kellerman, Bill and Sabra Kennington. Tom and Ursula Kiefaber. George and Dottie Martin. Mai and Roz MacKinnon, Todd and Lucy Meloy, Phil and Terry Monahan, Dick and Joan Morgan, Hank and Lucy Mustin, Anne Parker, Mort and Jackie Rubenstein, Hugh and Lucille Seborg, Dan and Lyn Shields, Gary and Margo Snyder, Ed and BJ Straub, Denny and Margy Sullivan, Fred and Sue Tolleson, Eddie and Carol Turner, Hugh and Peggy Webster, and Bernie and Dottie White.

Received a nice response from Donall Burke who lives in Boca Raton, Fla.: Lei me start off by saying that your individual soliciting of news from '55ers is an excellent idea. The psychology of getting a written solicitation lo individuals is quite different from broadcast requests in Shipmate. In my case, it triggered the Pavlovian response of treating "in basket" items more seriously.

It should encourage more people (such as myself) to gel off their butts (such as mine) and write in. I'll pick up al the "Thirty Years Later" point and follow your guide with the bullets.

—I was promoted IBM Senior Technical Staff Member in '86, and considering that there were only 128 of them at the lime. I felt quite honored. After stints working on telephone and PC networking systems. 1 look the 1989 Golden Handshake from IBM and retired, then returned 2 months later lo work for them as a consultant for another year— PC networking systems again. At that point. I said 'enough" and went into full retirement (but not quite—see below).

93

I have kept my hands in computers with my home system, with the objective of making die thing do work (vs play games). Other activities: taking art courses, emphasizing sketching and pencil painting, teaching boating courses, crewing out on boat deliveries, doing a lot of sailing and racing with friends—all the time suppressing the urge to buy a large boat in South Florida (ah yes, discipline does pay off). Our travel time seems to be on the rise also—Columbia River last year, Europe in October this year.

I went back to work recendy with Fairway Technology Associates, the unit sel up as a result of the IBM/Blockbuster joint venture. Should be fun.

—Unfortunately, I haven't seen too many Classmates. The Palm Beach Chapter at present doesn't have any '55ers, I saw Otto Zipf at the gymnastic reunion a couple of years back—it was really good to see him, I keep in touch with Bob Valium, He has his own business, giving management seminars, —The family is doing well, Nancy continues to be active in music with workshops, church choir, and soloing. She also keeps active in PEO, a women's education organization, Dana, the older son, graduated from Va, Tech, and after a few years of piece-work and contracting, landed a job with Spectral Systems in Seattle, Their specialty is recording studio computerized editing systems. Jon, the younger son, graduated from Emery Aviation in Colorado (yes guys, a civilian aviator). After a 2 year struggle to build time, he landed jobs at Smith Aerial Photography, then Petroleum Helicopters, and is now working for Crescent Airways, flying helicopters on contract to the United Nations in Croatia and Macedonia. Yes, he has been shot at a few times. I have found what it is like to be on the "left behind" side.

—Yes, I would look forward to being visited by Classmates. Very much so. South Florida is a jumpoff point for lots of Caribbean cruises and such. I realize now that I should have put a notice in Shipmate that we could offer an economical (i.e., free) bed and breakfast!

—Yes, I am planning to be at the 40th reunion.

—I think the most important thing USNA gave me was the notion of carrying out an order. In civilian life, this mapped into the willingness to accept a job or project, regardless of seeming complexities or difficulties at the onset, —I don't feel qualified to speak on the military in the last 40 years, since I retired in '68, And I don't intend to relate the "way it was" without knowing "what it's like now," AH hormonic discussions aside.

Class Potpourri Bill Kennington sent in a great shot of sunset at St. Michaels (John Ganey and Tom Kiefaber in foreground) taken during this year's overnight sail from Annapolis—this time on Jim Dunbar's boat.

Candler Crim writes from his law offices in Atlanta requesting that the hospitality suite couch at the 40th Reunion be saved for him. He has nothing new to report since 30 years later—"same old wife, children and dog, none of whom show any indication of ever leaving home." I had the distinct pleasure of swearing in (honorarily) my son John on Induction Day at USNA this Summer. The Class of '97 looks like a truely great one! Don't forget—'55 golf outing on 21 October at Hidden Creek Country Club, Reston, Va., followed by a dinner gathering and awards. Call Ray Hine at 703 556-1852 for reservations. The golf match on 13 August included Ray Hine, Hank Mustin, John Adams, John Raster, Joe Chmelik, Bernie White and Steve Ruth. Joe came in low at 80, while Ray had a 37 on the front nine, but slipped badly to a 82.

Class Trivia 4.6% of our Class made flag rank (34). Less than one-half are from the top 25% of the Class! The largest number of Classmates live in Virginia (139), followed by California (109), Florida (61), Maryland (55), Texas (25) and New York (25), in that order Heads Up! Navy is scheduled to play San Diego State University in football in San Diego on 3 September 1994.

June Week West '94 will be held concurrently, featur-

ing receptions, local tours, ship visits, golf and tennis tournaments, a pre-game rally, a tailgate before and after the game, a dinner dance, brunch and other parties (with a specially arrange finale in Las Vegas). It is anticipated that the Schedule of Events and reservation forms will be in the May '94 issue of Shipmate.

Peterson USN (Ret.) 13007 Clarion Rd., Fort Washington, Md. 20744 Our heartfelt condolences go to Jerry Gibson who lost his wife Arlene recently to cancer. Arlene joined the USAF in 1965 as a nurse and met Jerry who was the chief instructor of the base flying club. She received her private pilot license and several months later ended upflyingto the Bahamas on her honeymoon with Jerry. Arlene was very active in the Lutheran Church and served as Council President of the Herndon Church. A steeple and bell tower will be built at the Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Herndon in memory of her Jerry and theirfivechildren remain in their home at 1513 Brookmeade Place, Vienna, Va. 22180, where mail can reach him. Tom Lynch attended the funeral and sent me the full details as Tom and Jerry were in the 5th Company. Also attending were Joan and Dick Walsh. Tom continues as Vice President for marketing for a construction firm in Charlottesville, Va. All four children have completed college and the three daughters are married so Tom is just working for a few more years as he winds down.

During Commissioning week at USNA, Rog Lyle presented the Class of 1956 award to Midn David Ismay '93 of McLean, Va. Midn Ismay was the recipient of EIGHT awards including a Rhodes Scholarship. Truly an outstanding graduate. Attending the ceremony and P-Rade were Helen (Collier) Martinson and her husband Ralph. Rog and Muriel hopefully convinced them to re-affiliate with the Class and join the group at Homecoming. As this will reach you loyal readers after the event, hopefully you attendees will have already said hello to them. Helen is currently a school principal in Princeton, N.J. The reviewing officer for the parade was our CNO and Acting Secretary of the Navy, Frank Kelso. Landess and Frank had the opportunity to chat with Ralph and Helen after the review.

Peg and 1 had the opportunity to host two Classmates and their wives recently as they were in the Melbourne, Fla., area. Vivian and Ken Costilow were spending several days in Cocoa Beach where Ken was working aboard USNS HAYES in preparation for an InSurv inspection. Ken managed to get away from his fellow workers at AEPCO for a few hours and relax in the vicinity of the pool prior to a trip to Mississippi to visit with their daughter. It was the first real chance to chat with Vivian since we rented their house in San Diego while Ken was in Hawaii as CO of HENRY COUNTY in 1962.

The next week, Lorraine and John Buckley managed to come south for a few days before heading back to Orange Park for a visit with son Patrick prior to his Med deployment. Fishing was not too good except for one small tuna, but the rods have been repaired and John promises to retum when his house at Magnolia Point (Green Cove Springs, Fla.) gets built, which should be this Fall. As a resuh, John will tum over the D.C. area lunch scheduling to Rudy Daus.

The West Coast has requested that I publicize the San Diego State-Navy football game on 3 September Shipmate, October 1993

good offices of Booz etc.; Bill Mickle is helping TRW manage some sort of intel program (I can be excused for being really ignorant of that one); Victor continues to excel in geriatric psychiatry (a growth industry); John is heavily involved with Maxima's management of a Job Corps training site in his old stomping ground of Kentucky; Jim Quinn is still solving problems for CNA; Jim Foresman is solving problems of great complexity for people who have Macintosh computers (as an IBM clod, 1 can lump this with my understanding of Mickle's activity, but 1 was impressed when Jim mentioned that the Macintosh people called him to get the solution to some glitch); Tom is consulting in some fashion for one of the infamous bandits; if you want further news, he and Sara visit Hechingers weekly on weekends and he'll happily elaborate; Bob and Herb are in a more relaxed circumstance; and 1 continue to defend the interests of the eighteen wheelers. I struck up an immediate friendship with Fred's son Northey, who works for the Virginia Power Company. They are nearly as popular as trucks. We swore a pact; 1 won't fuss about my electric bill and he won't mention truck accidents caused by cars on the Capital Beltway. Everyone had a great time, and are universally grateful to Herb and Carolyn for giving us this great opportunity to get together and have fun.

Peerenboom USN (Ret.) 1003 Rachel Lane, Vienna, Va. 22180 Despite this being the "dog days of Summer" and for those of us on the East Coast, this has been one of the worst in memory, we have had a good bit of activity and news. Let me begin with a report of Carolyn and Herb Hoppe's second annual Thirsty Third Outdoor Pool Party and Annual Get-together, which this yearfeattired the best of Mexican cuisine, courtesy of our hosts and guests. We had a great turnout: Herb and Carolyn have a great pool, so many of the guests took up their gracious invitation to bring children and grandchildren. What a treat for all of us who were able to make it! The presence of so many members of the next two generations added a touch that truly made it a special event. Among those mustering in were (in random order of my faulty recollection of "preference numbers for service selection): Herb and Carolyn, our hosts; John and Monica Shewmaker with daughter Pamela and grandson Liam; Bill and Renee Mickle and son Richard; Jim and Joy Foresman; Vic and Elizabeth Vieweg; Fred and Dianne Howe with son Northey and his bride Karen and grandchildren EN.IV and Shannon; Tom and Sara Kirkland; Bob and Bev Foss; newlyweds Jim and Molly Quinn; and yours truly and my better half Betty The formalities of the occasion consisted of a Third Company Toast to Jim and his new bride Molly, and a "formal" portrait of the group by Fred "Karsh of Fredericksburgh" Howe. The following is an imperfect thumbnail sketch of what everyone is up to.

Shipmate. October 1993

Walt Meukow has passed along some of his correspondence from Classmates for me to share with the Class; he's heard from Dick Toner and Larry Bustle. Here are relevant extracts, starting with Larry who writes from far away Turkey: My Turkey assignment has proved lo be very "challenging" and only sometimes "rewarding" to use the buzz word that people use when talking about an assignment that no one else will take. Actually. I volunteered for this job. and Edie and I really wanted to come. We had been stationed in Izmir when I was in the AF. so we had grown to appreciate Turkey. Although the climate and people of Ihe Aegean are very different from Keyseri. it does have its good points, though. 1 am working with Sargent-Fletcher Company, a long time manufacturer of external fuel tanks for fighter aircraft, I am managing director of a co-production program with the Turkish Air Force, wherein we are teaching the Turks how to manufacture two types of tanks and Ihe wing pylon for one of them. It's a real challenge working with the Turks, because they have a completely different outlook on life. In many ways the modernization they are trying lo achieve in their country is butting against many tough culttiral barriers, and it's going to take a long time to overcome some of them. For example, virtually Ihe whole workforce al the depot goes on vacation the whole month of August. I have a production schedule lo meet, and no workers to assemble Ihe tanks!

I appreciate the work you are doing with the Class and for the Washington Group. Please keep me on the mailing list and let me know if there is anything 1 can do from here in Turkey.

Dick Toner's letter gave Walt some excellent feedback on Walt's newsletter (and 1 can say that Walt is anxious for more, especially concrete suggestions of things to do, not to do, and so forth), and included a brief note on his and Joan's activities at the Birchwood Inn; Dick Adams came here two years ago to celebrate his and Nancy's 35th wedding anniversary, and in a little ceremony, he presented me with an oar that is now mounted over one of our doorways in the Inn. The idea behind Ihe presentation was inspired

by Afan- Blue and Gold's line, "whenever two or three shall meet. , , " The blade of the oar now has nearly twenty signatures on itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all guests al Ihe Birchwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and most all of them Classmates, We're looking forward lo adding many more.

In keeping with Dick's great suggestion, let me remind the Class that Ski Week East is being organized

by Rocky and Bill Truxall, and even though I am writing this in mid-August, by the time anyone reads it, we will be well into the Fall. So, get in touch with Bill and get lined up early He's at 703 360-0869.

Speaking of the time warp between columns, let me point out that for some reason or other, the JulyAugust Shipmate (aerial photo of Chapel on cover) juxtaposed the final several paragraphs of our Class column into the Class of '23 space. So, for those of you who aren't in to perusing the entire Class News section, let me recommend that to you. It includes my report on Jon Howe's activities in Somalia and a visit Betty and 1 enjoyed with Charlie Beasley and his dad here in Washington early this Summer. [ed. note: Sorry about that. Here is the errant section for those who read and chuck their magazines.]

In the real News, 1 hope many of us were fortunate to see a nicely done in depth interview on the McNeilLehrer Report on 29 April in which Ambassador Jon Howe was featured. Jon very cleariy articulated the U.N. mission in Somalia, and the report clearly demonstrated what an awesome task Jon has in leading that effort. 1 also received a detailed press briefing sheet from the Joint Public Affairs Office in Somalia, the essentials are reported below: Adm. Jonathan T. Howe. UNOSOM II Special Representative of the Secretary General is gathering essential information needed to meet the challenge to return normalcy to war-torn Somalia by traveling to all corners of this country. "Before UNOSOM II can effectively and efficiently attack this complex task. I feel obliged to understand all aspects of operations throughout Ihe country," Howe said. I need to visit military commanders and their troops working lo rebuild Somalia. 1 need to hear of the obstacles facing the local elders. I need to witness the daily operations of schools, feeding centers, and orphanages, I need lo talk lo the relief workers and observe their procedures for getting food to the hungry and medicine to the sick, I need lo see a local police force in its infant stage and ask what UNOSOM can do to help," Howe has attacked this challenge with what many on his slaff describe as a "vengeance," He credits much of this vengeance to his military experience, "I've been fortunate to have had a variety of positions throughout my military career that have given me the confidence and understanding needed to approach a challenge of this magnitude," said Howe, a 1957 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. "My past experiences have taught me that the only way to truly know how the troops are feeling, of what the situation really is, is to get out and talk to them and see them in action. Second hand information, no matter how detailed or accurate, can not compare with seeing it with my own eyes." The article goes on to describe Jon's daily routine of carrying out this activity, leaving no doubt that he will get this formidable task done, A comment by Dr, Abdul Kadiv Moalin, one of the local District Commissioners sums it up, "We are working to return Somalia to a place where people can wake up each morning without the fear of starvation, sickness, fighting and death hovering over their head. We are doing our best, but we need the strength and power that the U,N. and Adm, Howe has to offer" Our prayers and best wishes are with Jon; he brings iraraense credit to all of us in the Class!

Betty and 1 were fortunate to have had Charlie Beasley and his dad, RAdm, Charles Beasley '27, stop by during their recent visit to Washington for a gathering of the Executives of the Navy League.

Charlie and the Admiral were in fine spirits, and we had a great time reminiscing about earlier times and the doings of Classmates and mutual friends. Charlie has been active in the Navy League in the Bay area for a number of years, as has his father He modestly mentioned having received some awards, but gave no details. It was a great time.

Finally, by the time this hits print, a number of us will have celebrated the First Fortieth, when we gather in Annapolis (at the O'Club, not in T-Court this time) to relive that fateful June twenty-ninth when we shed our hair (at least those of us who had some) and our freedom in exchange for white works and the challenges of USNA. I still remember seeing reflections of us in the chrome coffee pots in the mess

hall and thinking we looked like we belonged in a hospital ward. (The mental one!) By majority vote we decided to allow those who didn't really have a complete Plebe Summer (i.e., those sworn in after 29 June 1953) to celebrate with us. A great time will have been had by all (Future pluperfect subjunctive?).

Finally, hope to see lots of Classmates at the games this Fall. We have a roster of the 27th Company stripers, and 1 am pleased to announce that they seem to have done away with the two and three PO's; everyone is at least a Midshipman Ensign! Perhaps it's time for me to go back and try again.

Pres., Capt. Paul A. Polski USN (Ret.) Sec'y Col. Warren S. Walters USMC (Ret.) 5664 Ravenel Lane, Springfield, Va. 22151 (703) 321-9586 Welcome to October 1993, a month in which the '58ers partake in one of life's checkpoints, the major college reunion. This one is significant for us, as it represents that point in our lives when nearly the entire Class has completed the active duty, uniformed portion of military service started back in the early 1950s. It's no longer a "Where are you stationed now?" or "Are you still in?" greeting that is exchanged, but more along the lines of "Where are you living now?" or "What are you doing these days?".

The pressure of promotion lists is no more, and the quest for the good duty station is far behind. So here we are, similar to many other colleges and universities, gathering as a group of late-50s adventurers, coming to share experiences with those we came to know closely during four intense years at an exceptional educational institution. But enough of this maudlin meandering! We'll be embellishing our dusty memories at REUNION 35 on the weekend of 16 October. And if you are reading this and not planning on attending, and having some second thoughts . . . it's not too late! We can always work a Classmate in to the Greater '58er events!

A pleasant surprise has occurred for the weekend of REUNION 35. The regular Sunday service in the USNA Chapel will be conducted by one of our ordained Classmates, Reverend John A. Chrisman, Jr. (1st Co), Rector of St. George's Episcopal Church in Newport, R.l. It will be the first opportunity for a sizable portion of the class to listen to Father Jack's pulpit style, and it does provide some of us the chance to make up for all those Sundays we spent snoozing with the under-the-chapel-balcony crowd.

The Classmate returns on reunion reservations have provided us with address updates, and in many cases, a catch-up on the activities of many of the '58 crew. For example, Phil Given (6th Co) reports that he retired in January 1993 from PacOrd, where he was the program manager for ship repair combat systems installations. He is now living near the 9th green of Stoneridge Country Club in Poway, Calif., and as you might expect, working on his golf game! On the other side of the country, Clyde Morris (6th Co), reports he is in his third career with Georgia Military College, where he is the Director, Apprentice Programs, and also teaches math, physics, and technical drawing for the Trident Refit facility at the Sub Base, King's Bay, Ga. Clyde uses one of our old USNA texts "Technical Drawing" for his Class, but comments that the edition has changed from the 3rd to the 9th since we last saw it in Melville Hall. And finally we know the reason for keeping our Plebe drawing kits . . . employment in later life! Now, about that slide rule . . .

Another joinee to the retiree ranks, this time from the civil service sector. The retirement of Liles Creighton (14th Co), was announced on the front page of a Springfield, Virginia newspaper, in a story about his retirement from the Department of the Navy. The story focused on Liles' contribution to civic govemment in Fairfax County, where he has lived and participated as a community activist for over 20 years. Liles served 10 years on active duty with the Navy, including a Vietnam tour, then converted over to a civil service position in OpNav. An intelligence specialist, Liles was a Special Plans Coordinator in the Navy Special Warfare Plans and Policies Branch of OpNav-06 by day, and the Chairman of the Fairfax County Land Use Advisory Committee by night. For 20 years in Fairfax County, Liles was involved with the county's Planning Commission, either with the Redevelopment Housing Authority or the Land Use Advisory Committee. His participation in development decisions was lauded by those who worked with him in efforts to control the development of one of the nation's better known counties.

Having lived in Springfield for so long, Liles and his wife, Barbara, will be moving to their retirement home in . . . Annapolis, Maryland! Congratulations on the plaudits, Liles, and welcome to RetWorld.

Another Classmate on the move is Ben Montoya (5th Co), who has departed California and moved a couple of states over to New Mexico, where he has been appointed as the CEO of the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM), the gas and electric company for the state. Ginny and Ben are building a home on the banks of the Rio Grande, with a view of the Sandia Mountains. When we get the address, we'll update the Leech Log for those '58ers crossing the country on Interstate 40. Stay tuned for the further adventures of Ben, the Electric Gas Man! From the 1st Company representative. Bob Slaven, comes information on one of our semi-lost sheep, Kerry Gentry. Kerry had spent the last 7 years in the United Kingdom and Brussels, Belgium, but has now returned. He and Shirley are now residing at 32 Amos Road, Preston, Conn. 06365, where Kerry is now retired, but doing some consulting.

The 1st company gang seems to have produced an abundance of aviation minded junior '58ers. Kerry has a son in the Air Force who is an F-Ul pilot, while Stan Sharp has a son, daughter, and son-in-law who are all Naval Aviators. George Brenner's son is a commercial pilot for one of the USAir commuter links out of La Guardia.

A change of address from George McNulty, who tells that he and Peggy have moved to 17909 Lake Avenue, Lakewood, Ohio 44107; and that he is feeling fine after the bypass surgery.

A note from Ed Studer (20th Co), who is a construction industry project manager with Metro Building Systems Incorporated in Minneapolis. Ed's wife, Miriam, is President of Tradition USA, the sole distributor for Tradition, Limited of London, the largest manufacturer of military miniatures in the world. Ed was well known in the Marine Corps for his collection of military miniatures, but it wasn't suspected that Miriam was greatly involved. Tradition, Ltd. has a series of USMA figurines, but nothing for USNA yet. One could buy little West Point cadets and repaint their dingy gray uniforms into a splendid Navy blue.

From Evergreen, Colo., a short line from Ricky Davidson (4th Co), who is stillflyingfor United Airlines. He has been serving as the chairman of the Accident Survival Committee of the Airline Pilots Association, as well as being an aviation accident investigator. Ricky maintained his association with the Air Force for many years, and ultimately retired from the Air Force Reserve as a Colonel.

Those of you who plan way-out will be interested in the Navy-San Diego State game to be held on 3 September 1994. There will be a June Week West

"Homecoming West" for USNA grads of all Classes in San Diego during that same period. Hotel rooms have been blocked at the Town and Country Hotel near the Jack Murphy Stadium, and the events planned include receptions, local tours, ship visits, golf and tennis tournaments, tailgates before and after the game, a dinner dance, brunch, and individual Class parties, with the potential for a tour stop in Las Vegas. The May issue of Shipmate will provide further details.

Lastly, we must once again say farewell to one of the Class. James A. "Skee" Hagood, (15th Co), passed away on 28 May 1993, in Orange Beach, Ala., after a long illness with cancer. Skee joined our Class via NAPS, having been a Fire Control Technician in submarines. His bright smile and Alabama accent were always evident as he helped the "civilian" kids struggle through Plebe Summer. Upon graduation he was commissioned in the Air Force, from which he subsequently retired as a LCol. After retirement, he returned with his family to his home state. He is survived by his wife, Emilie, of 30500 Ono Boulevard, Orange Beach, Ala. 36561; two married daughters and five grandchildren. Our sympathies to the family on the loss of this fine Classmate.

'58 Trivia: The '58er who gained fame for missing his ship on cruise and surviving a Class "A" when we got back is Our Man in Mexico, Jim Clements. For next month, strain your memory back to those old drawing Classes in Melville Hall. If you crossed over the connecting bridge to the next building, you were standing in what Hall? Hasta Luego!

Butterfield USN (Ret.) 14211 Belt Buckle Ct., Centreville, Va. 22020 Hello 59ers!â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and Happy Fall, which will have begun by the time you see this in print. And by then let's hope Navy has put some points on the board and the football team is off to a winning season. But 59ers will continue to win at Tailgate Time, before and after the games. Get on over to 59er comer, and if you were always poor in navigation, look over the top of the stadium on the home field side, spot the old quonset hut, and look about 150 yards to the right.

Along that back street you should be able to make out the 59er pennant. Get on over there and thank Joe Flynn, Dan Truax, Marty Finerty, and others of the Annapolis contingent who help keep the spirit alive!

It may be hard for me to get over there regularly. I am consulting full time in Indianapolis, and only getting home for a long weekend about 1 in 3.1 feel like I am back to sea duty! However, the job is interesting, and eventually we may be making a move. We like Indy so it would not be a hardship tour for us.

1 want to double check for the Class, if you need to contact Dick Layton, the best number, and it may be a change from one you just received, call the Boston area 617 723-9839. I could say Dick owes us one for making a mistake, but hey, I am not going to knock someone who at least sends me some mail . . . even if it is a divorce notice!

The networking organization out of the Alumni House continues to help and you should thank them for helping others. Two guys you may want to check in with, who were at the Washington area "Wall Climbers" networking breakfast, Steve Young '8 with Legg Mason out of Towson, Md., and Richard Jones '63 of Shearson Lehman in D.C. Both men want to help; they are not out to take your money Shipmate, October 1993

And they can assist in the networking and career counseling.

I hope by now you all will have gotten the overdue info re. George Ballantine's death, and the cancer condition he struggled with. If you want more details, contact Dick Zscheile at 4400 Johaima Road, Aptos, Calif 95003; 408 462-4130.

I will put in a health plug for prostate screening and colonoscopy. Don't put them off when you go over the 50 mark. Take a blood test, and have a thorough rectal exam. And re. the latter, if you have a family history of polyps, do not delay! All us 59ers want to stay around as long as we can, right?

Here's a nice letter from a Classmate who seems healthy as a horse, and always has a cheerful upbeat attitude, Pat Schnauffer: A hardy group of 59ers showed up for the June meeting of the Puget Sound USNA Alumni Chapter, which featured Bill Garrett as the guest speaker The June meeting is always a good one as die new "Plebes" for the upcoming Class are hosted, as well as those midshipmen who are back home on leave before summer cruise, or in some cases going back to USNA for a summer term. Before the evening festivities. Bill, Angus MacDonald, and I had the opportunity to get together and tell a few sea stories, after which we had a nice chat with Angus' boss. Lou Tice, who heads up The Pacific Institute (self improvement consultants). Bill shared some interesting facts on the ways the "old school" is helping the new generation midshipmen reach their academic and personal goals in an effort to retain as many people they can during those four years on the Severn, This is somewhat different than the inspirational leaders during our tenure, company officers such as Capt. J. R, "Bonzo" Perrich USMC, Capt, George 'Treadhead" Patton, Jr USA, and Lt, "Varsity" Vic Vine USN, to name a few friends of 1959 who made our stay "so easy." (Okay guys, send me in your list/addendum. Want to add LCdr, "Candy" Randall and Maj. Al Haig, USA??). The distinguished group present to cheer Bill on included Nancy and Angus MacDonald, Tom Young. Vern Young. Roger Erickson. and Joni and Pat Schnauffer. Bill was pleased not only to address the Alumni and new Plebes-to-be, but also several members of his family who curtendy live out in the great Northwest. Bill gave a great "State of USNA academic programs" and the skinny on the whole scheme of things.

Sandy and Vern Young are still living over in Silverdale. Wash, He hasfinishedhis training contract with die South Korean Navy and is associated with a real estate development firm. Rog Erickson is still gainfully employed with Boeing on the E-6A TACAMO program, and he was joined by his sonin-law Ed Pierson '86 at the meeting, I did not have a chance to talk with Tom Young; however he lives near Seatde and works for an engineeringfirmout in "Microsoft Land," Our next big event out here is SEAFAIR and June Week West, 29 July-1 August.

Angus and I are attempting lo gather as many Classmates as we can for a get-together Will send you an

update (secr'y. note: I know I can count on faithful Northwest reporter Pat!).

Update on the Honor Chair program in Alumni Hall: A total of 20 Honor Chairs have been reserved for the Class of 59 as of 1 May 1993, and 34 remain to be taken. Act now!!

Navy Sports needs your support and your unflagging interest. For NAAA merabership or any info re.

Navy sports, call 410 268-6060, or 1-800-US4NAVY. I got a copy of the following quote from a commencement address the late Arthur Ashe gave at Ohio Wesleyan in May 1991: "True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. . . . It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever costs, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost." That spoke to rae, and I ara sure it will to you, and it puts the meaning of service in proper perspective.

Gretchen Winter was so kind to get me this report in time for a deadline. It provides some detail of the 19th Company's "Frolic in Hawaii," which is the latest pilgrimage some of the 19th make every 2 or 3 years, to interesting or exotic places. The previous one had been 4 July 1991 at the Turners in Door County, W i s e , which was just before John Turner was diagnosed with his condition. John now seems to be doing well but has to rest/keep from getting overtired. Come on up, John! Oh, the next 19th "Fantasy Cruise" is to be in two or three years at the Shield's new ranch in Driggs, Idaho. But now on to the 93 reunion: Reezie and Jim Kelly truly outdid diemselves.

Most of us arrived in Honolulu on 25 May and we split July 4th. Present for '"duty": Suzie and Ferd Shields (Detroit); Fem and Ron Denney (Doyleston, Penna.); Janie and Joe Keeley (Newport Beach); Julie and Fred March (Sierra Vista, Ariz.); Mary Ann and John Turner (Durham, N.C); LuAnn and Charlie Miller (Fairfax); and Gretchen and Dick Winter (Burke, Va). Reezie and Jim hosted dinner parlies at their beautiful home overlooking all of Honolulu on 2 nites, and again hosted a lovely dinner at a private club Jim belongs lo. The Denney, Shields, Turner and March folks stayed at an oceanfront "'grass shack" with luxuries we in Burke can only dream of! Keeley and Winters stayed at Ihe Hale Koa. Millers stayed with Adm. & Mrs. Bamey Kelly (CinCPacFll). Barney made available superlative transportation for a memorable trip out to the Arizona Memorial, Rusty and Larry Vogt joined us for dinner one evening at the Kelly's, just a few days before Larry retired, and Vogts were to begin their new life in Northern Virginia. After several days in Honolulu we flew to the Big Island to visit Kilauea Military Camp and give Ron and Ferd a chance to play golf. It was superb and a great way to unwind in an informal setting and spend lime catching up on all those things good friends like to talk about. Kids and grandkids were much a part of the conversation. The Shields had another grandchild just days before their Hawaii trip. (Gretchen related

the line, "Grandchildren are like popcorn . . . nothing for awhile, and then pop, pop, pop!!) The visit ended with a twilight visit to Pele's volcano . . . a sight to see! John and Mary Ann went on to Maui for more R & R. He is doingfineafter the bone marrow transplant. Aloha. (Thanks for a great report Gretch (and Dick),) Did I miss something? Has Fred March moved from Virginia to Arizona, for good? How about an update from you, Fred, or someone who can cover for you?

Fans, that does it for this "season opener." I trust all your summer excuses will have dried up so I will hear from a few of you. While you have your feet propped up watching a ball game, jot down a few lines . . . and then mail it!! John Rise 'n Shine!

The Plan of the day identified the uniform for our lour of Old Town Albuquerque as "white works chariie or civilian casual," Ted Parsons showed up dressed in his white works. We were surprised and impressed both, that he still owned diem and that they still fit him. Here Gail and Ted Bonifay appear to be getting instruction on open fingered hand-shaking (an Oklahoma custom?) from Buck Bonifay.

Photo #2. More of Ihe tour group. Notice that the locals, Gail and Tom Doherty wore hats, the rest of us, Dick Pariseau, Dave Schnegelberger, and Sandy, were still under instruction.

Photo #3. Some early arrivals at Maria's Mexican Kitchen in Santa Fe: Tom Marti, Dennis Falk, Kathy Falk, and Carole Marti.

Their early arrival was certainly not influenced by the fact that the restaurant boasts a full menu of margaritasâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;32 different varieties. The margaritas were great (every variety I tried at least), the food was wonderful, the company and companionship was unbeatable, and the Mariachi band was . . . missing a couple of musicians.

Another incident from our mid-year reunion in New Mexico: Our first evening dinner the day people were arriving in Albuquerque had begun al 7:30 pm with 17 of us. With ""hellos" and sea stories we were just getting around to dessert and coffee al 11:05 when another Classmate artived and the following conversation occurred: Classmate: I'd like to have some dinner. What do you have left in the kitchen?

Waiter: Gee, I'm sorry, sir, but die kitchen closed at 11 pm.

2nd Classmate: You had better take care of him and get him dinner because, in case they hadn't told you, the people at this table are trained killers.

Waiter: Well, let 2nd Classmate; And, I'm just talking about the women.

Waiter: Yes, sir Let me go get a menu. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;And he did get a complete dinner

Mid-Year #3 Classmate News From Bob Osmon: Saw this article on RAdm. Don Weatherson in my Supply Corps Newsletter, so I thought it would be of use for you, 1 relieved Don twice during my Naval career and I can vouch that he always left a legacy of professionalism and a dynamic personality which was a tough act lo follow. We became good friends and over the years 1 was fortunate enough to cross paths with him from lime to time. He will be sorely missed in the Supply Corps community.

To the best of my knowledge, he is the last Supply Corps officer from our Class on active duty, although Vance Fry is still very active in the Reserve community.

Hope to see you at a game this Fall. Most sincerely, /Oz/ On Don Weatherson: RAdm, Harvey D. Weatherson. SC, USN, completed 33 years of active service and retired on 1 July 1993 after service as the Commanding Officer of the Navy Exchange Service Command, Staten Island, N.Y, He received his Bachelor's Degree from the U,S, Naval Academy and his Master's degree from the University of Kansas, His previous duly stations include: Staff.

Howdy dudes! Happy October to all. By the time you read this, Homecoming '93 will be history and a new slate of Class Officers will be at the helm of YOUR Executive Comraittee, ready to lead the World's Greatest Naval Academy Class (WGNAC) on its continuing trek toward the 21st century. [By the way, did you realize, that during the year 2000, a large number of the Class of '61 (those born in 1939) will attain the age of 61. Just thought you'd like to know.] Back to the Executive Comraittee. Since this is being written in August, the final results of the Class elections are as yet untallied, however, since all but one of the candidates were running unopposed, it's safe to anticipate the results of the election except for the post of Treasurer.

First, on behalf of the entire Class of 1961 our congratulations go to Jack Stevens on his election as Class Prez for the next three years. YEAH!!

HUZZAH! OLE! As most of you already know, Jack's contributions to the Class are legendary; first, as a leader in forming the current Class organization back in the late '70s, and more recently in serving as the Executive Vice President on the Executive Comraittee for the past eight years. Jack now faces the challenge of leading the derelicts who coraprise the Class Executive Comraittee past the age of midlife crisis and into the realra of fund raising. Class reunions, and lower golf scores. Having worked closely with Jack over the years, I'm confident he is up to the task and will show that guy from Arkansas how the job of President should be handled.

The rest of the new Committee, serving for terms of two years, are: Executive Vice President, Mike McMillan; Administrative Vice President, Bill Hartman; Secretary, Jim George; Members at Large, Jerry Smith and Larry Lubbs; and Treasurer, either Don Evans or Bill Straight, whoever gets lucky. Also serving as appointed representatives to the Executive Committee are Bob McLaughlin, the 35th Reunion Coordinator, and moi, your faithful, if somewhat irreverent Class Scribe. Congratulations to all these folks and good luck in taking us through the next few years that will include our big 35th Reunion.

It's nice to have Jim George, who was our Corresponding Secretary for many years, back on the Committee, where he hopes to be able to sell a few more copies of his award winning books.

Finally, a tribute to our just barely ex-prez, Warren Hoppe, for his years of outstanding service as President, 30th Reunion Coordinator, and Class Project Coordinator that saw such memorable achievements as a successful 30th reunion held a year ahead of schedule, and the culmination of a major Class fund raising project to commission and present three paintings to the Naval Academy depicting our combined surface, subsurface, air, and Marine forces in action during the Vietnam conflict. These paintings were presented during our 30th reunion in a formal ceremony inside the main entrance of the new Brigade Activities Center where they will be displayed for thousands of present and future Midshipmen, Alumni, and visitors to remember our contributions to our country and our Navy. Bravo Zulu Warren, on a great job, and welcome to the ranks of the emeriti.

Mail Call At long last, and as advertised in last month's column, from the Lesser Antilles by way of Antigua, my Club Eleven mate, Tim (Pygmy) deGavre, surfaces with a truly entertaining letter: Rumor has it thai the Mighty Onorati has taken up his pen and written a brief note about me in Shipmate. I haven't seen it, since Shipmate doesn't get to this remote outpost of Ihe Caribbean; nevertheless, and knowing my dear friend Wopmo, I categorically deny all he wrote and offer the following to set the record perfectly straight.

It was during the second Great Blizzard of '88 thai I was sitting at my desk in the office of a Beltway Bandit wondering how the hell I was ever going to get home, when visions of the sun-drenched Caribbean, dancing natives, and rum punches caused me to leap from my depths of depression. Taking pen in hand, I prepared the perfect resume (the only thing truthful on it was my name) and sent it off to Computer Sciences Raytheon (a joint venture of CSC and Raytheon) which operates and maintains the Eastern Test Range for the Air Force. Being a very astute company, they immediately saw that I had all the qualifications for the position of Roads and Grounds Foreman at the Antigua Tracking Station. "No way," 1 said; so pulling out all the tricks Stan Hyman taught me in his Pentagon ""Strategies of Career Transition" course, I convinced them that Station Manager at Antigua was my calling. And so 1 am called.

In my welcoming address to the native workforce, I thought I would do as the Mighty Onorati would have done . , , use a wee bit of humor lo win them over. So I told them that I was not just another Station Manager coming here to play tennis and sail all day. No Sir! Nor was I just another Station Manager coming here lo drink rum punches and chase the brown-skinned beauties. No Sir! I had come here to be their KING! The loud cries of "Bazonga, Bazonga" that greeted this announcement filled me with pride, until I later learned that this is the local word for mongoose do-do. So much for the teachings of Onorati.

Four years later, I'm yet to be called ""King" (delusions of grandeur from '"Pygmy"), But it sure has been fun anyway. As Station Manager, I have about 80 U,S, employees to supervise; they operate the radar, telemetry, and comm systems for this satellite tracking station. (Why do those of us who never did understand how electrons going back and forth in a line can be electricity, end up in this kind of business? There's no justice.) Their main work in life is to try 10 beat as much leave and time-off as they can get out of me, I also have about 80 local employees who have a similar purpose; my job is to convince them we need them for work in the laundry, kitchen, maintenance shops, etc. We have a fairly good relationship. They call me Mr Bazonga.

A couple of years ago, 1 met a raven haired lass from England named Bridget, who had responded to my ad in the local paper, ""Seeking young wife who can sail, cook, sew, and owns a sailboat. Send picture of sailboat." The boat wasn't much, but after a few months of chasing Bridget around the island, I proposed; and in a quiet ceremony by the local registrar at her home, Bridget and I were married. Wishing to gel my name in the '61 Record Log. we produced a beautiful blonde-haired daugh-

Shipmate, October 1993

ter. Holly, on 9 December 1991 , , , which I would tfiink makes her the last of the children born to '61, and should qualify me for some kind of prize!

We've purchased a small Eighteenth-century, stone cottage in the Lake District in Northern England where Bridget will go in August lo raise Holly, while I toil and labor under Ihe hot Caribbean sun for as long as CSR's contract with Ihe Air Force lasts. (It expires in October; we're bidding on the new 5-year one.)

That's my last four years in a few, brilliantly written, laced-with-humor, paragraphs. I haven't missed the traffic jams, the blizzards, the masses of people; I have missed the good hardware stores, reliable electricity, and especially the meetings, reunions, and tailgates with my '61 Classmates.

Maybe there could be a gathering of '61ers this Winter on Antigua, say right before the great Blizzard of '94 hits? The rum punches are on me! You'll have to find your own brown-skinned native.

The Reverend Hugh Duncan checks in from Boise, Idaho: Just a short note to send along a newspaper clipping about our Classmate. Joe Marshall. During the past month I have also discovered an interesting bit of information; three Classmates are now Episcopal clergymen. I am at All Saints Episcopal Church here in Boise, The Reverend Bob Partlow and his wife Ruth are both ordained Priests and are CoReclors of Christ Episcopal Church in Springfield, Ohio. The Reverend Gil Wilkes is at Bishop Seabury Episcopal Church in Groton. Conn, When I spoke to Gil recently, he said. ""Maybe we are going 10 be known as Ihe Class that got religion," Thanks for the note Hugh. Methinks Hank Hahn might have a rejoinder to Gil Wilkes' quote, but I'll let him handle that directly, if he dares. The clipping on Joe Marshall, who is the CEO of Idaho Power Company, the state's largest utility, and who recently became chairman of the board for Albertson College, deals with Joe's program to bring the once struggling College to the "critical mass" needed so it can be included among the country's top liberal arts institutions.

Not long after Hugh's note arrived, Joe Marshall also checked in with a letter of his own: I feel badly inasmuch as I read your column in Shipmate religiously with considerable enjoyment, and really never contribute a thing; however, 1 am writing to express enthusiastic support for the proposal for an prints of the Class of 1961 paintings in the lobby of Alumni Hall. [C/S note: See Warren Hoppe's letter in our Class column of the JulyAugust '93 edition of Shipmate] I am committed lo purchasing one copy of each of the three prints.

The only Classmate I have regular contact with is Hugh Duncan. He is the Rector where my wife, Patty, and I are parishioners. He and Beverly are doing well. Not only do we enjoy having them in Boise, but he has also become quite an asset lo our Parish and our community. He even has me working as a Layreader and a member of the Vestry, From Raleigh, N . C , Tom Walter surfaces with a great letter and photo: It's been a while since I last checked in, so I thought I'd give you a little update. I'm still playing stockbroker now working for a regional firm out of Charione, One thing about the market; it's never dull.

Familywise. we've grown by one since my last letter; a granddaughter Katelyn Leigh, bom to son Greg and wife Donna in August 1991. She's obviously her grandparent's delight.

I continue to slay active in Alumni affairs through my role as president of the Triangle Chapter of Ihe Alumni Association. We've developed a strong, active Chapter and we're looking to continue lo grow, but after five years, I've decided that the time has come to pass Ihe leadership on lo new blood al the end of this term. We're fortunate to have a large group of talented people who can make the Chapter grow.

Finally, my real reason for this letter is the enclosed picture, this was taken at our gathering with the Army contingent at last year's Army-Navy get together I wanted you to see what this group of the WGNAC looks like. In case you don't recognize us.

Shipmate, October 1993

'61ers gathering in North Carolina

Smith and Allen at USAFA By way of Houston, Tex Painter sends his greetings: Hi! I'm sitting in the airport waiting toflylo New York for yet another interview. I'm somewhat PO'd because I haven't been able to connect with another good 3-5 year overseas contract. I've had several small contracts in the Houston and Orlando areas, but you have to pay taxes and your own room and board, BUMMER!! I start a new Houston-based contract on 16 August, Hope to see everyone at the homecoming tailgate, and al Ihe Class annual Army-Navy game party in Washington, I tried to gel Neil Block interested in a Navy party in New Orleans for the 2 October NavyTulane game. No joy; he's getting too old, or something. Print my motto, '"Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional," I'll never grow up!

Last, but certainly not least, in this month's mailbox is a veritable tome from Arnie Allen: Well, maybe it's time to write my first input into Shipmate. After all, I've probably waited a sociallyacceptable period of time. Over the last couple of weeks, I have seen a number of Classmates, hence Ihe motivation.

First a brief history. After leaving active duty in 1973. I moved to Albuquerque. N.M., and raised three sons, all of whom have graduated college. My oldest went ROTC at Duke and five years at Naval Reactors. He will enter medical school in August.

The other two work for Gallo Wine, one as a state manager in Wyoming and the other as a district manager in San Francisco. I spent sixteen years in the Naval Reserve, including a tour as a CO of a Comm Unit and the slate coordinator for the Blue & Gold Program for ten years, retiring as a Captain,

After working for a couple of companies, I purchased a small wholesale sales and service battery company in 1978, and after expanding it to three separate operations that functioned over the country, I sold them in 1990, I was asked by die New Mexico Secretary of Taxation and Revenue if 1 wouldn't be interested in becoming her Deputy; since I couldn't even spell ""revenue," I immediately accepted. After six months, I got tired of checking for little round sticks under my car so I started looking around for something lo do when 1 grew up.

In pops the never tiring, ever endiusiastic Neil Block. Since the economy in New Mexico was dead, and very active in Houston, I visited Neil, Well, not only does he take credit for finding me a position, he also credits himself with fixing me up with a new wife (got divorced in 1986), So anyone needing any of the above: quiet, suave Neil's the man.

In any case, I met Andie (Andrea) in Houston, and we were martied in December 1991 in Boulder, Colo., only after I was able lo convince her to sell her home, a successful interior design business, and leave her two grown sons and one maturing dog, to move to Colorado (must be true love).

As a result of my nuclear background, I was offered a position with Halliburton Environmental, which had just received a contract for the initial cleanup work at Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Facility in Colorado. I ran into several Classmates at Rocky Flats: Don Ferrier, Al Holifield, and Arland Kuester. However after a short period of time at the Flats. I remembered why I had left the nuclear power program, and started casting my anchor into other "flats." About four months ago, I was offered a position with OPTIMA Batteries, Inc, in Denver as National Marketing Manager, This company is a manufacturer of a high tech battery that has terrific features, and it is becoming widely accepted, Andie and I just moved into a new home in Golden, Colo,, and would welcome a call from Classmates passing through. Home is 303 384-0184; office is 303 744-5360, On the weekend of 7 July, Toba and Mickey Smith joined us for a couple of days. We played tour guide and between shopping binges, they even saw some sights, Mickey had never seen the Air Force Academy, so we traveled to Colorado Springs for a day. This is a great area lo be a tourist, so much to see and do. When the Smiths left, they went to Los Angeles where Mickey looked up Arnie Kleban, who we had both lost contact with over the years.

Mickey says Arnie hasn't changed any, and he is still swimming competitively. Arnie's numbers are: office 800 421-3395/310 643-5106; home 818 785-1176.

The weekend of 17 July, Andie and I returned to my ole hunting grounds of Groton, Conn., for the decommissioning of GREENLING (SSN-614). I am a plank owner (1964-1968). It was a great chance for Andie to see there really is a submarine force, as well as to meet real Naval Officers. Al Donn had been on the pre-comm crew as well. It was great seeing him after some 25 years. Al retired from the Navy after 20, and did some beltway-banditing for a few years. He has been "re-educated" and now is in the high school teaching circuit. He also recently married (Jane). During the ceremony, I ran into Chris Nichols, an ex-CO of GREENLING. Now that 1 have this note finished, I realize it wasn't that painful, and over the next 32 years, maybe I'll do it again . . .

Finally, a slew of inputs and photos on Virg Hill's Change of Command and Retirement Ceremony on 14 August in Norfolk, Va. Virg and Kim will be heading north to Pennsylvania where Virg will become President of Valley Forge Military Academy and College, 1001 Eagle Road, Wayne, Penna. 19087. Ned Kuhn sent a missive along with several very complementary clippings from the local papers. Ned writes: Virg's retirement is getting more press in Norfolk than Tailhook diese days . . . as he should for his distinguished career. I spent the weekend backpacking on the Appalachian Trail so missed the ceremony. Also just read in the local papers that Paul Moses will be taking over as Commander Norfolk Naval Base so we should be sending you plenty of future photos/articles as the Base Commander is a

My former ship as Supply Officer, SAN DIEGO (AFS-6) was decommissioned on 11 August and turned over to MSC for her second life as T-AFS-6.

Sandy and Ken Craig were also there since their daughter is a good friend of the new Master's wife.

Ken and Sandy look great. He's playing golf as his major avocation and she's an active member in a group responsible for preservation of one of the local historical homes.

Judy and 1 are traveling to Jackson, N.H., in August to spend our 30lh anniversary at a Victorian Inn in the mountains. Hope to enjoy some golf, hiking

and cycling while Judy works on her photography.

Wish 1 could recover some of that leave lost over a career or was still entitled lo 30 days a year vice 10, I have season tickets to Navy football, so hope to attend at least a few games and will look forward to seeing you at the tailgate.

Donna and Warren Hoppe, who attended Virg's retirement ceremony, were kind enough to send a list of Classmates in attendance, as well as a photo of some who attended the post-reception, reception at Kim and Virg's home, the Ohio House. Others attending were; Joan and Don Evans, Bonnie and Arlie Campbell, Beveriy and Stan Roman, Gloria and Jerry Kennedy, Karen and Tom Murray, Dick Ardavany, Ned Wolfe and his wife, Ed Hulse, and Skip McGinley.

Finally, we hear from the only Naval Academy Superintendent our Class will ever have, Virg hiraself: For every dog, there is a day . . . and for every admiral, there is atime.Mine hasfinallycome. On 14 August I will retire in Norfolk, after 32 magnificent years. Kim and I could not have enjoyed anything more than this wonderfully exciting, challenging, oft times frustrating, but never boring career.

Top of our list are the three years at Canoe U, We loved being able to share it with some of the Class.

And best of all, the almost 6000 extraordinary young men and women who passed through USNA during our time, represent a very real and continuing reward.

On 1 September, I will become President, Valley Forge Military Academy and College. It is a great opportunity as well as a huge challenge. We are enormously excited about the job. To be able to once again work with quality young people is a special blessing.

Valley Forge is one of the oldest and most prestigious private military schools in the country. It is located on Ihe Main Line, about 25 miles west of Philadelphia. It is an immensely attractive opportunity. Ifirmlybelieve that our hope for the future lies in our ability to motivate and inspire young people to reach their full potential, especially as future leaders. My goal is to contribute, ever so slightly, to thai end, Kim joins me in sending our best to you and all the members of the WGNAC, I can say, without reservation, that Ihe members of the Class were my most consistent and reliable supporters during my time at USNA. You made us feel special and we will always remember and appreciate the many kind letters, phone calls and personal expressions of support. If you are passing through Valley Forge, please give us a call.

Seen and Heard Around Town First, a note form Arlie Campbell with a section of a message that reads as follows: Representatives from the Navy Experimental Diving Unit and the Panama City Marine Institute formally dedicated Ihe newest Panama City artificial reef 27 July in memory of Captain Chuck (Black Bart) Bartholomew, who died during a dive in Panama City in November 1990.

Stem's wedding A 180-foot supply ship used for offshore diving operations was acquired through a grant with the Florida Department of Natural Resources. The ship was renamed, THE BLACK BART in the Captain's

memory, and sunk in 80 feet of water seven miles offshore as part of the communities artificial reef program.

Capt. Bartholomew was a 1961 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and Webb Institute of Naval Architecture. Throughout his career Black Bart played a vital role in the Navy's diving and salvage program. He had extensive salvage experience in Vietnam, and participated in many salvage projects, such as the CHALLENGER Space Shuttle, United Airlines Flight 811 door search and recovery. Air India search and recovery, and the Navy's effort in helping to clean up the Exxon VALDEZ oil spill, Capt, Bartholomew served as Commanding Officer of the Navy Experimental Diving Unit, and as Director of Ocean Engineering and Supervisor of Salvage in Washington, D,C, Going through my Column Material Folder, I discovered sorae photos sent by Gary Carlson a few raonths back that I negligently forgot to include with Gary's letter. My most humble apologies to those concerned members who posed so diligently for the photos. The group picture of mostly some San Diego, 10th Company WGNACers shows (left to right): Joe Maiden, John French, Ed Oleata, Bob Grubb, Charlie Stackhouse, Bob Kline, J. J. Robinson, Gary Carlson, and kneeling, Steve Mayian.

One 10th Company stalwart who didn't make it to San Diego to be included in the aforeraentioned photo was Cliff Dunning. Not to be outdone, he showed up uninvited to Dave Stem's daughter, Laura's wedding in July, and just to get his mug in the attached photo showing from left to right, Mike McMillan, Bob McLaughlin, Dave Stem, Jim Luper, Jack Stem â&#x20AC;˘85, Bob Kelly, and kneeling, Cliff himself.

Another photo shows RAdm. Jerry Smith presenting the Class of 1961 Prize to Midshipman First Class Altamar Estrada '93 at the Prizes and Awards Ceremony during June Week in May. Shipmate, October 1993

Rod Bubeck, another of my Club 11 mates, called in early August to report a live sighting of Milt Jones. Rod and his wife Mac accompanied Marji Jones and her two daughters on a two week trip to visit Milt in Hong Kong to celebrate the grand opening, on I July, of a new Mobil Oil distribution terminal for which Milt was the head honcho, and of course to do "a little shopping." Rod said that Milt stayed behind to effect a tumover between the U.S. construction team and the local Hong Kong folks, and isn't sure exactly when he will retum, but hopefully it will be sometime before the end of the year.

Upcoming Local Class Events Washington area Class luncheons on Tuesday, 14 September and in December. The annual Washington area Class Christmas party on Saturday, 11 December at a location to be announced.

Parting Shots I received a letter from Capt. Ed Ellis '46, Chairman of June Week West (iWW) for 1994, asking me to put something in the colum so you advanced planning freaks who want to attend can get moving. Navy will play San Diego State on 3 September 1994 and JWW '94 wil be held within the larger framework of Homecoming West emphasizing the Sea Services.

The NAAA will have a block of 10,000 tickets costing $25 each. JWW '94 fliers will be mailed in May 1994 to all Alumni in the Western Area. Seating for the game will be on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition, a block of 200 rooms at $89 per room has been reserved at the Town and Country Hotel which is about one mile from the stadium. This will be headquarters for JWW '94 activities. Several Classes have already indicated that they will hold mini-reunions during this period, so about 100 rooms have already been allocated. Additional rooms can be blocked, but verifiable numbers are needed.

JWW '94 will include receptions, local tours, ship visits, golf and tennis tournaments, a pre-game rally, tailgating before and after the game, a dinner-dance, brunch and, of course. Class parties from Thursday through Sunday with a finale in Las Vegas. A complete schedule of activities and reservation forms will be published in the May issue of Shipmate so keep your eye out for them if you plan to attend. We will probably have a local (San Diego) Class representative, but as of this writing, he has not yet been designated.

The JWW '94 Committee will be trying to get a realistic estimate of the number of Alumni who plan to participate in any or all of the events, so that final planning can take place. If you think you want to attend, mark it on your calendar, send in your response when the material is received, and if you want more information now, call Ed Ellis at 619 243-1885.

Pres., RAdm. Stephen K. Chadwick USN (Ret.) Sec'y, Howard Pinskey RO. Box 3380, Annapolis, Md. 21403 Greetings from Annapolis!!!!

Fall and the '93 football season are in full swing and the city is alive with Midshipmen, tourists and locals.

In Steve Chadwick's letter to Classmates last month, he talked about the establishment of a Remembrance Fund and the need to have all Classmates join the Alumni Association and receive Shipmate.

Your assistance in these worthwhile causes is greatly appreciated.

Change of Command RAdm. William Heine, CEC USNR, took command of Second Naval Construction Brigade on 17 September 1993. The Second Naval Construction Shipmate, October 1993

Brigade is an operational command of the U.S. Navy's United States Atlantic Fleet, and is composed of Naval Construction Force or "Seabee" units. The Brigade includes twelve Naval Mobile Construction Battillions (four active and eight reserve), each consisting of more than 700 Seabees, as well as other specialized units. The Atlantic Fleet's Seabees, a force of approximately 8,000 active and reserve personnel, are engaged in construction projects and training at Navy and Marine Corps installations in the United States, Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America. In addition to routine overseas deployments. Second Naval Construction Brigade Seabees are frequently called upon to participate in disaster relief, peacekeeping support, humanitarian assistance and other contingency operations, such as the recently completed Operation Restore Hope in Somalia. The Second Naval Construction Brigade is headquartered at Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, Norfolk, Va. The Brigade commander serves in a drilling reserve status and is supported by an office in Austin, Texas. Congratulations to Bill.

Summer Picnic The Capital area held its annual Summer picnic on Sunday, 15 August 1993 at the home of Jeannette and Wayne Hickam. Over 40 people attended and a good time, including food and a refreshing swim, was had by all. The photos of the event are much better than words.

Before the Chadwicks moved to Pennsylvania, a Class officers' meeting was held at Steve's house.

Your officers hard at work included Pinskey, Chadwick, Lingley, and Hayes.

Hard. Burke, Pinskey. Dunlop, Lewis, Chadwick, Bourassa, Allison Lewis, June Hard and Marilyn Burke.

Alumni Hall Dedication On 30 July 1993 Classmates of Brad Cuthbert, who was killed in action in Vietnam, dedicated a chair in his memory in the '62 Class section of Alumni Hall. Classmates in the Second Company, led by Don Hard, collected the funds and honored Brad's memory and sacrifice to the country.

June Week West '94 (JWW '94) Navy is going to play San Diego State University in football in San Diego on 3 September 1994. Plans are being developed to emphasize the Sea Services (Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine) and the raaritime industry in San Diego over this weekend to both highlight the game and to capitalize on it. June Week West '94 will be held within this larger framework which will be called Homecoming West. Ticket applications, with a JWW '94 flyer, will be mailed by the Association in May 1994 to all Association raerabers and Alumni in the Western Area. Seating will be on a first come first served basis and an early response should ensure that Alumni and friends desiring to sit together will be able to do so. A block of 200 rooras at $89.00 single or double has been reserved at the Town and Country Hotel which is about a mile from Jack Murphy Stadium, where the game will be played. This hotel will be our headquarters for the weekend and the site of a number of JWW activities. Current planning envisions that JWW will include receptions, local tours, ship visits, golf and tennis tournaments, a pregame rally, a tailgate before and after the game, a dinner dance, brunch and, of course. Class Parties from Thursday through Sunday with afinalein Las Vegas.

(The latter would be in conjunction with the air round trip from the East Coast which will be arranged by the folks at USNAAA. Others have the option of joining for thefinale.)The possibilities are unlimited. We anticipate publishing the Schedule of Events and reservation forms in the May issue of Shipmate and will provide copies directly to those who request them.

The Schedule will be developed and coordinated by the JWW Committee which will be assisted by designated local Class Representatives who will be repsonsible for the scheduling and conduct of Class activities during JWW. More information will be forthcoming in later columns. It's not too late to make preliminary plans now. Call Capt. Edmund Ellis, USN (Ret.) '46 at 619 243-1885 with any suggestions.

That's our Class news for October 1993. Please keep your letters and photos coming in, our Classmates love them.

Pres., LCol. Joel R. Gardner USMC (Ret.) Sec'y, Michael H. Shelley 9915 Natick Rd., Burke, Va. 22015 A combined retirement ceremony was held in Memorial Hall at the Academy on 25 June for five distinguished members of the Class of 1963: Spence Johnson, Denver Key, Meredith Musick, Sandy Stoddard, and Clyde Van Arsdall. Spence has sent an account of the event, and Denver has provided a number of excellent photos.

We had a crowd of about 300 persons in attendance. Among them were about 30 or 40 of our Classmates, many with their wives. I can't remember them all, but included were Bob Harper, Bobby Lagassa, Tommy Reemelin, Jeff Miles, Tom O'Brien, Steve Duncan, Pete Quinton, Norm Shackelton, Bruce Webb, Brev Moore, and Jim Fisher, who gave die invocation and benediction. It was a great turnout.

Five of ourflagofficer Classmates participated in the ceremonies. The sideboys were RAdm.s Dave Oliver, Larry Marsh, Tom Hall, and Jerry Jordan. RAdm. Bill Earner served as master of ceremonies, demonstrating exceptional talent, charm, and wil. Odier dignitaries on hand included VAdm. Jack Baldwin, VAdm. Henry C Mustin, Amb. David Newton, LGen. Phil Shuller USMC (Ret.), RAdm. Bob McNitt '38, MGen. John Fryer, USAE RAdm. Tom Lynch '64, and VAdm. Charlie Minter '37, the featured speaker It was a great day for those of us retiring and, I think, a great day for the Class of 1963 as we marked 30 years of service. It was a ceremony for the entire Class.

As you look at the photos taken that day, you realize that the joint ceremony in Memorial Hall was something truly special. I have obtained a copy of the remarks made during the proceedings by Denver Key on behalf of the five retirees. I'm sure you'll agree with me that Denver made an excellent suraraation applicable to all Naval Academy graduates who conclude a full career of service to our country. Here is a lightly edited version: I am honored lo speak on behalf of thefiveof us.

There are 19 others of the Class who are retiring this week, but they are scattered from Somalia to Hawaii and could not join us for various reasons.

Adm. Minter, it is veryfittingthat you should be our speaker today, for each of us owes part of what we are to you and your inspiring leadership when we were Midshipmen. I can remember one instance when you personally took the time to correct an error in judgement that I had. I'm sure you've forgotten the incident, since there were probably many similar ones, but a little over 30 years ago I was a First Class Midshipman living in room 4426. There were some advantages to living on the fourth deck—the main one being that the Officer of the Watch didn't get up there too often—but there were disadvantages. The main one was that you had to descend and climb sixflightsof stairs lo get a coke or make a phone call. However, in the fourth wing there was an elevator which we were not allowed to use, but which of course we did once in a while when we were especially tired and after we thought the Commandant and his staff had left for the day.

The Commandant's office was on the first deck of the fourth wing, just three decks below my room.

Well, one night I needed to call Alece, my wife lo be, and I was tired, so I look the elevator to the basement. Much to my horror the elevator stopped on thefirstdeck and started to open. But using a technique I'm sure was learned by Midshipmen the first day after the elevator was installed, I used both hands lo prevent the door from opening. After a few seconds, the elevator continued on its way lo the basement. When it opened and I stepped out, there was Capt. Minter coming down the passageway (You were quite fast back then. Admiral!) He asked my name and after a short, one-sided discussion, told me to stop by the next day to see him, which of course I did. During the, again, one-sided conversation that followed, the Commandant told me in some

102

i I Tom Lynch '64, Alece and Denver Key. Charlie Minter '37

Clyde and Sybil Van Arsdall

detail about what happened to young officers who stole the Captain's gig—which I never did again.

I have always remembered that incident. Admiral, because you cared enough to take the time to cortecl my wrong behavior instead of simply putting me on report—which I certainly deserved.

In discussing among thefiveof us what should be said at an occasion like this, we retirees had a wide myriad of thoughts, but there were four that seemed most appropriate. Thefirstwas why we were having this ceremony. After all, it is costing a great many people their valuable time and, in some cases, a considerable amount of money to attend. The answer, I think, has several parts. The obvious part is that it marks the culmination of a career of 30 years for Ihe five of us, something that is becoming more rare in die mobile society we have today and in a Navy that is becoming smaller. It also helps us, the retirees, accept Ihe reality and finality of a major milestone and transition in our lives, in much the same manner thai a wedding or funeral helps the happy couple or grieving spouse accept major transitions in their lives. Another part is that this is truly a milestone for our Class. Thirty-four years ago we all assembled in front of Bancroft Hall to be sworn into the Navy, and it isfiningthat we depart the active Navy at the same place. The Class of 1963 has always been a closeknit Class and this occasion reiterates that. It is a Class that has contributed over $500,000 to help children and widows of our deceased Classmates, 15 of whose names are enshrined permanently in the place of honor just behind me in this hall.

The second thought was why we wanted to be naval officers in thefirstplace. Again there could be several answers, and one that comes to mind is family tradition. However, I believe the real reason for all of us is as simple as the recruiting posters— adventure. What greater adventure could a young man or woman have than doing what over 400 Midshipmen are doing this Summer, a 1,600-mile open ocean trip on a 44-foot sailboat to Bermuda and to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Or what greater adventure could one have than to learn toflyand operate off an aircraft carrier?

The next thought was that the Academy is truly a special place. Though long in tradition, it is constantly changing. Though life here is demanding, and al times plain difficult, it is demanding and difficult for everyone, and as my story about Adm. Minter illustrated, people here from Ihe Superintendent, Commandant, and Academic Dean to the faculty and coaches, to the laundry workers and grass cutters care.

The final thought we discussed that should be highlighted at this ceremony is Ihe critically important part our wives and families played in our careers. Through long separations, and in some cases very long separations, our wives became both mother and father the family accountant and budget maker, the house repairer and the grass mower Our wives and parents restrained voicing their urgent fears about our safety when we went off to war but instead urged us to be careful, and when we came home they were there lo welcome us. Our children grew up without us much of the time, but by our wives and parents picking up die slack they did fine just the same. Quite simply, we could not have had our naval careers without your support and for that we will always be grateful.

Adm. Lynch, we as a Class are ready to pass the honor of being the senior active duty Class on to the Class of 1964. We wish you, your Class, but most of all the Naval Academy, fair winds and following seas.

That's a memorable presentation, Denver. BZ and congratulations to you, Spence, Meredith, Sandy, and Clyde. And aren't those sorae great pictures, folks?

Another of our long-serving Classmates, Micky Mays, retired from the Navy five days later and submitted this report for your attention: This photo was taken al my Change of Command/ Retirement ceremony on 30 June. Left to right are Jerry Harken, Paul Love, myself, Dave Robinson, and Chuck Stone, It was a great day with Dave presiding as the guest speaker, Dave and I met during the first weeks of Plebe Summer as teammates Spencer and Andrea Johnson

Shipmate, October 1993

on Ihe Battalion Boxing team (135 lb, weight class!), so II was special lo have him as part of the ceremony.

In our news from Vacationland department, we present this report from Jack McDonald: My wife. Anne, and I were privileged to have as guests at our Summer cottage at York Beach, Maine, fellow Classmates and Companymates Jon Scott and Bob Harper and their wives. Peggy and Carol, over die July 4th weekend. Here's a snapshot show ing Carol, Peggy, the Harpers' daughter Laura, Bob, and Jon waiting lor me lo get the cooking gnll going. We really enjoyed seeing these good people.

A lot of laughs and sea stories (properly embellished with the passage of time) were die order of the day.

The Harpers had to leave before being able to go sailing on Ihe Scons' 37-foot yacht. Anne and I were luckier. We spent a great day with Peggy and John sailing lo the Isles of Shoals (about 6-8 miles off the New Hampshire coast) and back. Also with us were Chris Donnell and the Scolts' son Michael, Thanks, Jack, for your continuing contributions to our Class column.

I've been advised that preparations are already underway for June Week West 1994, to be held in San Diego over the weekend of September 2 - 4 . The Town and Country Hotel will serve as headquarters.

One of the many highlights of the extended weekend will be the Navy-San Diego State football game at Jack Murphy stadium. Three Classes, '46, '51, and '53 and "67, will hold mini-reunions that weekend. If any of our Southern California Classmates are interested in a similar event for '63, you should contact Capt. Edmund H. Ellis '46. USN (Ret ). the Chairman of June Week West '94. at RO. Box 8394, Victorville, Calif. 92392, 619 243-1885. Stay alert for further details in future issues of Shipmate.

Remember the launching of FITZGERALD (DDG-62) at Bath Iron Works on Saturday, 11 December. We want to have a good turnout of Classraates there to honor Bill Fitzgerald and his faraily, so plan now to join us for this very special occasion. For details contact me by mail (address above) or by phone at my office 202 707-6367 or home 703 250-7411.

Please keep in touch, folks. To be successful, our monthly news exchange must have YOUR participation. Thanks!

QUALITY —'63

64 Induction Day Also retiring in June was Jerry Huss, who sent this note: I retired officially on 30 June, with a ceremony on 17 June at NAS Moffett Field, Calif. My boss, RAdm, Tony Maness '62, Commander Patrol Wings Pacific, did the honors, I've served as his Chief of Staff for the past three years, Cheryl and Carl Buhley, an old friend and shipmate from flight training, were also in attendance. We've moved temporarily lo our home al Tahoe City, Calif,, where I'm in Ihe middle of my job search, Pam and I and the boys (Jasun, 13, and David, 12) would prefer to slay on Ihe West Coast, but we're mobile if die right job comes up somewhere else. Our address is PO, Box 7914, Tahoe City. Calif, 96145; our phone number is (916) 581-3208, After this news of careers coming to a close, I can report proudly that my son Aaron began his naval service on 1 July when he entered the Naval Academy as a member of the Class of 1997.

Pres , RAdm Robert Sutton USN Sec'y, Robert L. Gault c/o Allen Photo Service 2800 Shirlington Rd., Ariington, Va. 22206 FAX (703) 578-1116 The Sutimier doldrums failed to materialize this year as once again we are blessed with another excellent news month. The highlight of the mid-July to mid-August period features none other than our own John Dalton. who was inducted as the nation's 70th Secretary of the Navy on 14 August 1993 In a spectacular ceremony held in Tecumseh Court at the Naval Academy, John Dalton received the oath of office from Adra. Arleigh Burke USN (Ret.) '23. John's wife Margret and at least 100 relatives (seriously) joined a long list of dignitaries including The Honorable William J, Perry, Deputy Secretary of Defense; Adm. Frank B. Kelso, II, USN, CNO '56; General Carl E. Mundy, USMC, Commandant of the Marine Corps; Adm. Burke, and our own RAdm. Thomas C. Lynch. USN. Superintendent, USNA. There were at least as many Class of 1964 Alumni in attendance as John's relatives. We had nearly enough to conduct our 30th reunion, one year early.

John plans to run a tight ship insisting on "professionalism and the highest standards of leadership and personal conduct." With the issues facing today's military, John's task will not be an easy one. Bravo Zulu John and may the best of luck and skill go with

you in your new assignment.

It seems that John was not our only Classmate to make news this month. Our beloved one of a kind, "Toe Your Nose" Joe Satrapa hit the California media. Thanks to the alertness of Rich Dunn, who faxed the following note and article, the legend of Joe Satrapa continues to grow.

Thought you might be interested in the article at; lached below. Is it safe to assume there is only one Jot Satrapa? Perhaps anodier of our Classmates will dig up some more info—or Joe himself if he's still ""doing tankers."

On my own front . . . I am still operating Stephens Marine, Inc in Stockton. Calif We own two mannas which handle a variety of boats numbering about 400, I knew that Canoe U. training had lo be good for something related to boats.

I live in Volcano, Calif., about 60 miles east of Stockton in die Sierra foothills My son Stephen wdl complete college (Mech.

Phone. 209 296-DUNN, FAX 209 296-3869 The article below came with Rich's note. It appeared in The Stockton Record on 17 July 1993: State firefighting plane flies into tree; pilot walks away (AP) SACRAMENTO—A state air tanker hit a tree while fighting a fire lasl week but the pilot made a successful emergency landing and was not injured The 9 July accident happened over a year after Ihe stale's chief pilot was killed when his plane crashed in Calaveras Counly alter hitting a tree After that crash, a review board recommended toughening rules about flying lower than 150 feet over ;rees and suggested improving the system of advising pilots about hazards.

Pilot Joe Satrapa escaped injury in the latest mishap, California Department of Forestry spokeswoman Karen TerrUl said Friday, The 150 foot altitude limit recommended by a special board reviewing Ihe 1992 crash has existed for years, but pilots often feel pressure loflylower to make a good drop on a fire, board members said You know Rich, maybe there is more than one Joe Satrapa Thanks for sharing this news with us Another first time writer joined the ranks this month , , Ken Viafore checked in from Seattle with the following letter

Our Class ethics project continues to be on target with a book on ethics for the junior officer due in the Spring of 1994. Professor Montor and Gordon Clow have worked very hard on our behalf to deliver an excellent guide for future junior officers. If you have not pledged your support for this project. . . please consider it in the near future. We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to really make a difference for many young men and women at USNA. Thanks for all the news again this month . . . see you next edition.

WE'RE ALL TOP DRAWER FROM SIXTY-FOUR!!!!!!!!

Joe Prueher, Ken Viafore and Erik Viafore I have enclosed a picture of Joe Prueher, me, and my son. Ens, Erik Viafore. Joe was the Navy's senior officer at the Rose Festival in Portland, and Erik's ship die ELLIOT (DD-967), was his flagship.

Joe and Suzanne invited Cara and me to be their guests on ELLIOT for die ride up the Columbia River enroute to Pordand. Needless to say we had a great time, thanks to the Prueher's gracious hospitality. It was fun for Erik too, as the Pruehers, for all practical purposes, adopted him during his Plebe and Youngster years, while Joe was Commandant.

I have also enclosed another picttire representing 50% of my 6 man Plebe year roommates, i.e., Bernie Maguire, John Palombi, and me. Cara and I were thrilled to get a call from Bernie and John announcing that they were going to be in Hanford, Wash., on business and would have time to travel to Seattle for a visit. Like a miracle, their schedules remained intact and the weather cooperated, allowing us to have a great day. Actually, we took them out on a high speed boat run to some of the more notable places on Lake Washington, then rettirned to our home to visit. As you well know, Bemie and John are very successfiil consultants to the nuclear power industry. Their visit was particularly opportune as I recently accepted a position in Seattle and John had prior experience in my new area of responsibility.

As to the Viafore's, I resigned my position as McDonnell Douglas' Corporate Vice President of Strategic Business Development in December 1992, left St. Louis, and retumed to Mercer Island (Seattle). I immediately resumed consulting while looking for a challenging opportunity in Seattle or on the West Coast. Last month I concluded two major consulting contracts and accepted a senior executive position with Seatde First National Bank, Seafirst, a.k.a. Bank of America Washington. As the Senior Vice President & Manager for Information Systems and Services for Seafirst I also provide affiliate services to Alaska, Idaho, and Oregon. Needless to say I am excited. We are able to remain in Seatde and I have a great job, super teammates, and an opportunity to make an important contribution to Seafirst, B of A, and the industry.

I hope the foregoing partially makes up for my last 29 years. I will try to do better in the future.

Ken failed to mention that somewhere along the way he managed to pick up his Ph.D. Thank you for the news and photos Ken . . . If you wait another 29 years to write, we'll all be 55 or 60.1 hope to see you at the 30th!

Speaking of our 30th reunion, Tony Taylor proposed an interesting idea at the last Washington Area Luncheon. Tony offered to serve as the clearing house for Classmates in the Washington-BaltimoreAnnapolis area who have room for other Classmates to stay in their homes during the 30th reunion. All interested parties can contact Tony Taylor at home 703 435-4808 or work 703 418-3900. His home address is 1562 Regatta Lane, Reston, Va. 22094.

Our Memorial Scholarship Fund continues to flourish under the leadership of Bernie Maguire.

The fund had a balance of $51,352 on 30 June 1993 and possible grant recipients for the 1993/1994 school year are Alicia Bachinsky, Nicole Bachinsky, Michael Beardsley, Linda Berkowitz, Douglas Johnson, and Kyle Mallas.

B-28 San Diego, Calif. 92122-5734 (619) 453-4317 (H); (619) 573-8820 (O) The first news out of the bag this month is the word from Denny McComb, down in Phoenix, that there will be another Army-Navy weekend at the fabulous Pointe Resort. Those of you who attended in 1991 will be sure to spread the word to all the 65ers of what a great time was had by all. We not only had a terrific party but the boys in blue mopped up the WooPoos in grand style. Denny, Pete Lumiansky, Pat Donnelly and Bob Gosnell all promise to arrange a resounding Navy win to go along with a frightfully, fabulous, fun-filled, frolicsome, festive feast. For details call Denny McComb 602 222-5970 or Pete Lumianski 602 264-1831. There is a 100 room limit (due to renovation work at the Pointe), so sign up early The cost has not been nailed down as of press time for this colurrm but it will be a bit higher than in '91. Plan to arrive in Phoenix Friday, 3 December and leave on Sunday, 5 December Festivities will begin with dinner Friday evening and will continue, more-or-less non-stop, through brunch on Sunday.

Congratulations to Fred "Gus" Gustavson on his recent (9 July) new job as ComSubGru Five. How does a young fellow like Gus get to play with so many toys? His duties are many and varied; too many to relate here (or even to understand). He probably has to write notes on the palm of his hand just to remind himself of all his different hats. Suffice it to say; if it has to do with subs on the West Coast, Gus is involved in a significant way. We're proud of you Gus! From Skip Moore we have the request to try again with a letter that got butchered in the August column (the editors of Shipmate apologize). The letter goes: The purpose of diis letter is to present an idea to you. Many of us have kept in touch over the last twenty-eight years. We have a special bond or a connection, and we are working on a way to formalize it for the good of everyone in the Class. We suggest that we put our minds together for business purposes. We are suggesting the formation of a "USNA Class of 1965 Business Association."

Everyone with whom we have discussed this idea in the Washington, D C , area thinks it has merit and wants to participate. We have to zero in on our goals and establish good methods of communication. This Association can be the source of: personnel recruiting, job openings, consulting services, venture capital, investment partners, business opportunities, information, business adviceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you name it. It should generate referrals, letters of introduction, new business ideas, business cormections, and networking for those looking to retirement, etc.

We have information on how to start a business and we could even use this association to swap boats, houses or vacation homes.

Dennis, Karen, Terri and Dennis McComb

Shipmate, October 1993

Stu and Ann Caldwell's party We see a lot of potential with this. The DC. Area Chapter is offering its services to put this thing together, and we need your help. What are your ideas?

What could you want, need, or use from an association lUce this? We already have a good start on the database. The directory will have four sections (could be more) sorted alphabetically by: 1) Members name, 2) Organization or employer 3) Type of Business, and 4) geographic location. Each member will be able to contact whomever for whatever purpose.

Next, we envision contact with other associations, with the possibility of combining our databases and expanding our contacts. Please call or write to me, and let me hear your ideas. A simple note to say yes, it sounds good, or no, you don't like it, will suffice.

If you have other ideas, tell me. Warm regards, Pete Gness 393 Forest Beach, Annapolis, Md. 21401, 410-757-4796.

A notice to all you Classmates in the D.C. area: The Class of 65 has a luncheon the third Tuesday of every month at the Sheraton National Hotel on Columbia Pike, two blocks from the Navy Annex. Luncheon begins at 1145 and lasts until 1300. [The USNA bulletin board # is 1-800-982-8762.] As you know, there is a flock of '65 folks in the D.C. area, so that's a great place to make contact.

It was good to receive the following letter from Charlie Stephan: It's been an age since I've updated you on what's going on in die Stephan family and since we've had some rather major changes, I thought I better get to it. It will also get me out of the dog house with my father (Class of '34) who says I don't write enough.

After retiring in Hawaii in late '91, Lynn and I retumed to the Washington area to move our son out of our house in Bowie, Md., so we could sell it and for the first time settle down in a place of our own choosing. Following an extensive city search throughout the southeast we settled in Greenville, S.C. We've been here almost a year now and haven't once regretted our move.

I am now doing something I've always wanted to do. With coaxing from Lynn and after some successful marketing ventures, I have put to work my life-long hobby of woodworking and have opened my own woodcrafting business here in Greenville.

The business name is "Hardwood Accents" and the product is primarily hardwood and exotic wood accent items for the desk and dresser with occasional specialty items turned on my lathe or special orders.

It is great to be my own boss even though it may not be a road to riches.

To round out the info, our daughter Deborah graduated from Greensboro College, in Greensboro, N.C, in January of this year and is happily employed there. Our son. Rusty, married a local giri Shipmate, October 1993

from Bowie, Md., last April and now resides in Annapolis while working near DC. A highlight for us at Rusty and Ann's wedding was the attendance of two of my Academy roommates: Dick Harris, now working for Goddard Space Center and Mike Artherholt, working for the Naval Supply Center in Norfolk.

We haven't seen many Classmates or USNA grads in Greenville yet, but if any Classmates are passing dirough this beautiful part of the country, the welcome mat is always out. I did enjoy our monthly Class luncheons in Washington when we lived in Bowie, but, I must admit, Greenville sure beats the beltway and the Washington area. Looking forward to our 30th. BEAT ARMY! Warm regards, Chariie Stephan, 1 Rushden Drive, Greenville, S.C, 29615, 803 268-0521.

Thank you, Charlie for that great letter letting us all know what is going on with you and your family.

Your letter and the one from Pete Gness is a reminder that there are a number of our Classmates "in transition." Either they have landed and would like to spread the word or are searching and would appreciate some help in locating a position. It seems very appropriate that we use this column for those purjwses. I personally endorse what Pete is trying to do and would urge that we get behind it.

This next item is from Zimbabwe, Africa. Fred Berthrong, his wife Candy and their three children, Alex, Sarah and Andrew just retumed from a five week adventure to Zirababwe. Fred and his family were part of a Rotary Club Intemational medical team providing basic raedical services in the "bush country" of northwestem Zimbabwe. The kids worked as medical assistants making dentures, helping the dentist, cleaning instruments and so forth.

Candy did a magnificent job of organizing the medical supplies, before they left the States, in two ocean shipping containers and while in Zimbabwe served as "supply officer" and did the triage work to sort out patients. Fred was the general build it, fix it guy and also was the team cook preparing three meals a day for 20 -I- people. Lasting memories were made for all the Berthrongs. Most of the people to whom the team gave medical care live at the subsistence level; very much as they have lived for cenmries with few, if any, "conveniences" such as running water, electricity or transportation. Fred likes to point out that when you give those people a Tee shirt, you double their wardrobe. Most patients had never been in a dentist chair before or had ever had a basic eye exam. So, when you help give sight or relieve pain it triggers warm and lasting feelings for the people of northwestem Zimbabwe. With Alex and Sarah heading off to col-

lege this year and Andrew a high school junior, the timing for such a trip was perfect. Fred feels that Rotary Club is an excellent vehicle for giving such service because it is recognized around the world and operates completely outside the local govemment.

Arnie McKechnie writes that Steve Fabry left his post as Supply Officer USNA in late August for a new position in NavSup. Arnie is program manager for Telecommunication Systems in Annapolis, where he is involved with a NavSea PMS-380 contract involved with ship transfers to Greece, Taiwan, Brazil and Pakistan (when we were allies w/the latter, he adds).

A recent article in the Annapolis paper tells us that Skip Moyer has settled in Alexandria, Va., where he is president of a management consulting firm. He will become the executive director of the American Boat and Yacht Council effective January 1994. Congramlations Skip!

Steve McDonald writes from Adanta and sends this picture taken at a party at Ann and Stu Caldwell's home. (Seated 1 to r Steve White, B. J. Kellogg, Pete Peterson. Standing (1 to r) Mike Riley, Stti Caldwell, Art Czerwonky, Paul Kellogg, Hank Lewandowski, Steve McDonald and Bob Groce.)

Also at the party but not pictured were Mike Donohoo and C. M. Wood. Steve reports that he has rebuilt his 62 year-old Stearman and is flying it around.

Among the places Steve flies is the annual reunion in Pensacola every Memorial Day weekend. Steve recently visited with Connie and Ken Andrews in Charlotte where he also saw Pam and Mike Epprecht.

It was a pleasure to hear from Skip Storey who lives with Vicki, his beautiful bride of 28 years in Laguna Niguel, Calif. Skip is Academic Coordinator for the Irvine Regional Center of the University of Redlands. Skip mentioned that in early August he saw a documentary on the John Gotti investigation and conviction. It tums out that Classmate Bruce Mouw was in charge of the team that nailed Gotti.

Well done Bruce!

In the "Food-For-Thought" category; Wayne Goodroe suggests that we start considering a Class gift to USNA. With the 150th year of the Academy coming up in 1995, wouldn't it be a good time to contribute a gift of note. Wayne's suggestion is that we give a video presentation of the history of the USNA. Professionally done this would run on the order of $200,000. Think about it!

Thardc you again for the great input to the colunm.

Remember, Classmates, we need your input to make this column worth reading. What a great way to tell the rest of us what you've been doing these last few years.

Johnson, Jr. 30011 Ivy Glenn, Suite #124 Laguna Niguel, Calif. 92677 It's really great to have the Fall weather back here in Annapolis. I hope you are enjoying the change too.

Not a great deal of news this month. I do have some updates and moves to report, so here goes.

Noah Sexton writes that 1993 has been a tough year for he and wife Mary Mary had major abdominal surgery in January for a tumor which proved to be benign. She was then hospitalized in July for a bowel obstruction related to her previous surgery. This too

105

was resolved, and she was released from the hospital the day before Noah went in for triple bypass heart surgery. Noah says that after 23 years of selling pacemakers and attending heart surgery almost daily, it was very interesting to be on the receiving end. I ara happy to report that his surgery went well, and he was supposed to return to his norraal routine the first week in September. Noah's one regret was he had to cancel a scuba diving trip scheduled for the end of July, but he has rescheduled it for January 1994. He and Mary are looking forward to a better year in 1994 on the health front. Next year is shaping up to be a busy one. Their son James will graduate from college, and their daughter Laurie will begin her final year of dental school, as well as get married. Noah asked if there were any other Classmates who have joined the "cracked chest" club. He woud like to hear from you. You can write him at 11 Filmont Drive, New City N.Y. 10956, or cafl him at 914 638-0224.1 knew of only one other, which I passed to Noah.

Thanks for the update Noah, and I join the rest of the Class in praying for your health and happiness in the fijture.

Fred Ameel writes that he is still flying for American Airlines out of New York, and that he and wife Karalee are surviving two teens. Paul Huber has retired. He and Becky have moved to 26450 Moore Farm Lane, Onancock, Va. 23417. Paul is an antique and postal history dealer Neil Brennan decomraissioned TEXAS ( C G N - 3 9 ) , then received orders to the Pentagon as OpNav N836D.

Pres., Cdr. David E. Church USN (Ret.) Sec'y LCol. Jim McNeece USMC (Ret.) 4832 Solomon D r , Annandale, Va. 22003 Well, 1 guess cool weather is just around the corner! Got my Navy football tickets in the mail this week! By the time you read this, we will have beaten Eastem Illinois and Bowling Green and will be teed up for Air Force on 9 October. Dave has started something different this year . . . Theme Tailgates.

The BEAT AIR FORCE theme is French. Then on October 16th, the theme to BEAT COLGATE is Chinese; and on November 20th we'll do an American dieme to BEAT SMU! Finally on December 4th, we'll have what has become the traditional BEAT ARMY party at Alumni House . . . the main dish 106

will be Mule Stew. The deal on the Theme Tailgates is to bring a dish to share, prepared in the manner of the theme of the game. Drinks and munchies will be available in the Class area.

And for you long range planners, the Dark Ages Party will be held again this year. Bet on its being the last Saturday in February . . . the last two years it has been held at the Bethesda O'Club, but that remains a TBD at this point. Mark your calendars and check this space for updates.

Dave Church faxed over some notes last week. I was going to summarize them, but I quote everybody else's stuff, why treat him any different?

Just had Jim Ehmer pass through with his daughter Danielle. She is seriously looking at USNA as her choice for college, so Jim is giving her the unbiased (?) cook's tour of our alma mater.

Pat Beamer came through a day or two ago (mid August), He was in town visiting and needed to stop by die new Visitor's Center to stock up on logo merchandise (being an old supply type, he is probably going to resell it at hisfinaldestination). Pat retired as XO of the Naval Supply Center in Oakland and is headed to Fernandina Beach, Fla., where he will embark on a second career as a teacher. He wants to teach social studies, etc.; they want him to teach math, so he says he will be a math teacher His new address is: 2413 First Avenue, Unit V-4, Fernandina Beach, Fla. 32024. Phone is 904 261-6416.

Also got a tie order from Vernon Wright down in Fort Valle, Ga. He is one of the ring leaders down there making the ubiquitous yellow Blue Bird school buses we see all over the U.S. Ed Kerins called. He's in the process of completing his relocation to the Kansas City environs (reported column before last). He said his new neighborhood was spared Ihe floods, but that Lisa and John Morton had some water in their basement. Ed is looking forward to meeting with the '67 contingent out that way (Ed Walsh, Marc Lonesk, Barry Polara, and possibly Frank Rook down Joplin way).

Sorry I missed Slummers last month. I was crushed (like being sat on by Andre the Giant) by my schedule as Charlotte and I were assigned to accompany the 120-1- Alums and wives on the Alumni sponsored tour lo Alaska. We had to leave at ""0-Dark-Thirty" on 2 August, and the paste-up deadline for the September Shipmate was the 30th of July—Bingo!!, I was dead in the water for outa town affairs.

I just got back from Rotary—a guest of a member was none other than Steve Holl, an old 20th Company-ile, who was in town visiting his in-laws.

Steve is on his way to NATO duty for three years in London, England—send out the ""moochgram." I didn't catch his billet, but I told him to write.

Dave also said he got a letter form Mike Brady.

(Usually, communications between Secretary and Editor are unseen by the everyday reader, but 1 don't know how else to get Mike's letter in! Sorry, Mike— you're sort of a test case to see if he really does read this stuff!) There should also be a picture in here someplace which Dave says he has . . . it's of Tora Kiefaber '55, their scribe, and ray predecessor in this job, Don Eraser. They are at the Plebe Parents' lunch put on by the Alumni Assn. on Induction Day. They both have Plebes. I just received a coraplete list of our Class's new Plebes. In the Class of '97 are: David, son of our Dave and Jane Belew; Karl Eysenbach's son Scott; Don Eraser's daughter Jennifer; Bill Goodwin's daughter Christina; Jon Holzapfel's son Chad; Randy Monson's son Todd; Mike Peterson's son Mark; and Rick Purnell's son Ted. Photos of Mark, Jennifer, and Ted were in the column last month. Any pics of the others out there???

OK, I really mean it this time . . . here's Mike's letter: Before I reminisce, to business!! I must strike quickly before I forget. Is it the memory that goes first? I forget. Saw the plug for the '"Class Crest Ties" in the July-August issue and remembered my desire for one when they were first advertised in conjunction with the twenty-fifth. Must have gotten busy with something and promptly forgot about it

Don Fraser and Tom Kiefaber '55

Ben (20), Matt '93, Jill (standing), Nate (15), Dave and Haley (9II/2) attending Graduation when attendance at the reunion became impossible.

In any event, herewith my check for #20—please send me one of the BLUE ones please.

Every time Shipmate comes, you come immediately to mind. Our paths haven't literally crossed since you were driving electric A-6's off INDEPENDENCE, and I was caring and feeding classy bullets a few decks below. (Mike was the NucWeps Officer).

I have been working for Southern Air Transport ever since retiring in '87. Flying Here's isn't as fancy as some airline jobs, but it keeps me off the streets, a little overweight, and, most importandy, tuitions paid. Barbara's and my eldest (also Barbara) marries at the end of this month. She graduated Mississippi State in 1990. Younger Michael married a year ago and is a 1991 product of NROTC at Auburn. He justfinishedintermediate at Corpus and should get my Wings passed on to him in January or February, Our youngest, Adrienne (see, we CAN be original), is a junior at Mississippi State. Where has the time gone?

I'm sorry Dave missed the last Slummers, too.

Had a good turnout at Army-Navy Country Club. It's great to be guests at the club of all these high ranking Naval officers and distinguished civilians. Our meeting place was moved upstairs frora where we had been hidden away in the basement. Up two flights of stairs, tum right to the end of the hall, turn right again at the employees' head (which has a bathtub, by the way!), straight ahead through the nursery past the stuffed bunnies and there you are. Don't think for a minute I made that set of directions up! Clip them out and use them next time you're in town the last Thursday of the month! Al Burkhart called me up for directions five minutes before 1 left the office; it worked out well, we met in the parking lot and made the search together. Tony Mitchell, Bill Norris, Bob Kelley, Rick Davis, Pat Hanson, Jim Fletcher, Ed Finney, Dick Glasow, Willy Williamson, Roger Charles, Bob Earl, Ken Ptack, and Mike Egnotovich all found it, too. Tony was scheduled to pick up his retirement check the following day 1 never knew it, but he's a D.C. native and will be settling here! Lots of stories of the District in the "good old days." Also got what I believe to be the straight gouge on Tony Principi. I'd heard he was either here in this area or on the West Coast. He's confirmed to be a partner in a law firm in San Diego, but I forgot who told me that.

Jim Aldrich sent a letter and a picture:

Pres., RAdm. (Sel) Kendell M. Pease USN Sec'y, Leo Kuehn 531 Wilson Rd., Annapolis, Md. 21401 Welcome to Fall . . . By the tirae you read this we will be well into another football season and should even have an idea if this year's team can return to the competitive respectability it seems to have lost the past two years. Also, another big homecoming, and 25-year Reunion for us, will have come and gone. I hope it was a tremendous returning for all of you who were able to attend. It's so great to see the familiar (?!!) faces, remeraber together the last tirae seeing one another, and hear and share the stories of all that has happened in between. 1 hope to be able to report on the 25th Year Reunion in next raonth's column or certainly by the December issue. So stay tuned . . .

Mark Treanor wrote to advise that the Treanor crew had recently relocated to his horae state of Vermont. They bought an 1820 federal-style farmhouse in Strafford, Vt. Mark is on the road a lot with his law practice, so they figured as long as he had access to an airport, they could live almost anywhere. The main office of his firm reraains in Fallston, Md. Mark's son, Adara, is the Corapany Commander of the 18th Corapany and Mark looks forward to seeing him leading the Company in the Homecoming P-rade. Daughter, Megan, is a freshman at the University of New Hampshire, just about a two-hour drive from the new horae. Mark and wife, Claire, are kept busy at home with their son, Ethan, three and a half. Ethan will have a new brother or sister to help hira run the horaefront as the Treanors are expecting in November. Mark figures he still has a duty to populate the later Classes at USNA! 1 received a nice note from Ens. William Daly '93, son of Betsy and Tom Daly. Ens. Daly included a picture of father and son taken in Smoke Hall following a ceremonial swearing-in at his graduation. Ens. Daly reports that Tora is doing well in Buffalo, N.Y. where he is president of CJ Tower, Inc., a company owned by McGraw-Hill. Tora is apparently as busy or busier than during his Navy days, but now has the opportunity to take Betsy with him on quite a few of his travels. Ens. Daly is at Newport until April 1994 after which he reports to MOBILE BAY ( C G - 5 3 ) in Yokosuka, Japan

Greetings from Alameda, Calif. Receipt of die July-August Shipmate in today's mail reminded me of a long overdue project . . . sending you the enclosed photo of our Classmates at my January Change of Command. The photo was taken at Ihe NAS Alameda O'Club right after I assumed command of the Naval Aviation Depot. From left to right are Capt. Al Wynn (CO, PWC San Francisco Bay Area), Cdr Mike Farlow. USN (Ret.) (up from San Diego; we were roommates many of our four years at Navy), Capt. Bob Moeller (CO, West Div of NavFac; Bob has since been relieved and is headed to D C ) , yours truly (note the big grin), Cdr Gregg Marshall, USN (Ret.) (now in local aircraft engine repair business), and Capt. Pat Beamer (now retired and heading to the vicinity of Jacksonville.

Fla., to teach school; heaven help those kids!).

Life has been somewhat hectic these past few months. The Base Closure Commission came to visit and later voted to close not only my command, but many of those here in the San Francisco Bay area. I never realized my major command would be die job of going out of business, sending my work to other facilities, and being the out placement agent for 3300 people. But I'm sure many of our Classmates are doing exacdy die same sort of things in these dramatically changing times.

One of our Classmates, Capl. John Payne (CO, CARL VINSON), recently moved into the quarters behind me, following the ship's overhaul in Bremerton and her return to home port in Alameda. I don't gel much of a chance to see him since he's at sea a lot widi work-ups.

The only other info I can think of is that Loretta and I attended the wedding of Al Wynn's daughter lasl Saturday (early August . . . jm). Chris Wynn married Tom Manley in a lovely wedding in the Treasure Island Chapel. We sat with Evan Dill (I think he went by Rich 25 years ago) at the reception dinner Some other stuff found its way to Alumni House.

Jill and Dave Finney wrote that son Matt is TAD to NASA until he starts flight training. Dave, still with NASA, will retum to flying and become the Deputy Chief of Aircraft Operations at the Johnson Space Center in August. Dave sent a picture which includes his dad, Haley, who is 91 !/2 years old and attended his third USNA graduation this Spring. He was there in '64 (for Jay), '67 for Dave, and now in '93 for Matt.

Skip Cannady wrote from Carson City, Nevada that he'd seen Jack Shields when Jack flew to Fallon from China Lake. They had a good visit. Skip said he hoped to be able to attend the San Diego '94 reunion.

Finally, Ike Eisenbach sent a few pictures taken at the 30th 1-Day Picnic in June. Said he figured he'd best get them sent before we're all dead and buried. I didn't think he was THAT late!!!

Hap Carpenter received a nice write-up in the Memphis Commercial Appeal back in the 24 June 1993 edition. Hap was honored by USAF Gen. Ronald Fogleman along with over 800 other Federal Express workers for roles in support of Desert Shield 107

and Desert Storm. Hap, a Federal Express 747 pilot, flew 22 trips to the Middle East during the conflict and was awarded the Aerial Achievement Medal.

The article reported that "typical flights began on the East Coast, and crews would fly to U.S. military bases in Germany, From there, they would proceed to Saudi Arabia or Kuw ait and back," Most of the flights carried cargo, although a few carried troops. Congratulations on the award. Hap. I received a few more survey forms passed on by the Alumni Association A short recapitulation follows: Don Peltier and wife Suzanne are living in Austin where Don is a production supervisor with U.S. Medical Products, Inc, U S . Medical Products is a new company producing state-of-the-art medical implants. Don relates how by living in Texas, and Austin m particular, he is often rerainded of his Plebe year corapany commander, Roger Staubach "65.

Roger was a real inspiration to Don and others even then, Don remembers waking up early on a cold Winter moming and seeing from his fourth deck window, Roger trudging off to morning Mass, leaving footprints in the fresh, new snow in front of Bancroft Hall Sometimes it's the little things that make an impact . . .

Dan Lear is an executive recruiter with Sales Consultants, working and living in the Virginia Beach area. He recently relocated to the area from New Hampshire, and really loves it in Tidewater.

Steve Etter is president and owner of MARTEST, Inc.. a materials testing lab for aerospace/ transportation/medical industries. Steve still enjoys fishing and also recently bought a Cessna 210 turbo so he can get back into flying. Steve's wife Cathy is active in charity work, kids, antiques, and tennis.

Their son Todd is at Princeton and their daughter Brooke is in high school. Steve reports seeing Bob Hollerback who isflyingfor TWA; Mike Crabtree, who is a captain for I)elta; Hal Dantone, a patent attorney for NASA in Houston; and Gerry Motl, now working an environmental project in the Cincinnati area.

Shipmate, October 1993

In the novice writer category Gary Knock took time to send me an update, which I received when I rettirned from a week's TAD in Pensacola. He has been working as an engineer for Westinghouse in Pensacola since 1981. He flew instructor duty with HT-8 out at Whiting every week as a reservist until May when he was promoted out of a pay/flight billet.

He did go out with a flourish, since his lastflightwas to the parking lot of his company as a static display of a TH-57 for the plant's 25th anniversary celebration.

He has spoken with his good friend Chris "Rat" Nelson, who is a nuclear consultant in Bethesda, Md. Gary reminds us that "Fidelity is up and Obedience is down on our bayonet belt buckles. Sir!" He's looking forward to seeing the 25th Company at the 25th reunion.

Lynn Widner sentraea photo of the CG-70 committee taken down in Norfolk with our ship. Can you spot the gray haired men in the picture? (Hint: look for the ones wearing hats.) That was a cheap shot and one I'll regret, sorry guys . . .

Bits and Pieces: Charles Paddock sent me more about Mark Rogers' winning ways. His ship won the Battle E for all Atlantic Fleet AEGIS cruisers, the AAW excellence award and completed a three month drydocking overhaul ahead of schedule and within budget. Carl Wick has completed his doctoral program in computer science, is still at USNA and looking to stay. He reports that Rock Miles is a pilot for NASA. George Galdorisi sent me a change of command notice for his relieving Bud Kraft as Commander PhibRon Seven in San Diego. FHTNC reports that John Nathman is deployed to WestPac and the Persian Gulf in NIMITZ. Also, Bill Helfen recently took over command of HUNLEY (AS-31) in Norfolk.

He reported there after a year at National War College and a tour with the Nuclear Propulsion Examining Board. Finally, when I was undergoing my own indoctrination this Summer I saw Andy Robertson at the Oceana O'Club, he was down there doing TQL training for his Reserve billet. In my Class down at Pensacola, Chuck Lewis was getting ready to take over the NJROTC unit in Fairhope, Ala. He retired after serving as Commander of the Aviation Officer Candidate School in Pensacola. It just doesn't get any better than this folks . . . Ring-a-Ding-Ding.

Those Fleet Home Town News release things are looking pretty good. (Get the picture??)

Larry Groves . . . what can 1 say? Here's a guy who has been so moved by the pleas of his classmates for news that he checks-in from Norway, where he was the first Marine Corps/Allied liaison officer to Commander Allied Forces North Norway, just outside Bodo. He, Yoshia and their two teenagers have recently departed the land of the midnight sun and are now in sunny northern Va., where Larry is now a student at the National War College.

FA-HIT-NIC Dept. Recent captain promotions: Bob McLane at Fighter Weapons School in Miramar, and John Devlin at Weapons Station, Charleston. (Congrats to you both!) Bill Hopper is deployed to WestPac and the Persian Gulf aboard NIMITZ, enforcing no-fly zones, participating in all kinds of exercises and pulling liberty at lots of neat places.

(Good on you. Bill! Hurry home.)

Contributions Dept. The Class was approached in late July by the Hampton Roads Council of the Navy League, who formed a committee to assist in the coordination of various events associated with the com-

The four warfare specialists

raissioning of VELLA GULF (CG-72) at Norfolk

Naval Base on 18 Septeraber 1993. Class support was requested to raise funds to offset various costs of Plankowner formalities associated with the commissioning ceremonies. Regrettably, there was insufficient lead time to solicit individual Classmates contributions through Shipmate. However, the Class Executive Committee decided to provide a contribution on behalf of the Class of 1972 to VELLA GULF.

Your scribe will provide details in next month's column.

Several of us Washington-area weenies have decided to get together for lunch on the second Tuesday of each month at some innocuous location, which is cheap and easily accessable. Any Classmates living in the DC. area, or just passing through, are encouraged to attend. Please give your scribe a call in advance, ((703)769-3696, is my work nuraber . . .and it has voice raail) and I'llraakesure you have a seat.

If this gets to be a popular thing, we may seek more auspicious surroundings (although Jim Klima says no way he's gonna foot the bill).

Mike Zimet has written us from Pittsford, NY.: The occasion of this letter is Ihe result of an impromptu and informal '73 reunion in Buffalo, N Y , this past June, It was a coincidental meeting of four of us that hatched the "great idea" for a letter representing four warfare specialties. Fate would have it that Mike Trent (surface line). Steve Dean (subs).

Joe Krisiak (NFO). and I (Navy Air) were taking a strain for the Naval Reserve where the idea of the century was conceived. We decided that we would seek venmre capital for our new business idea; a company specializing in mid-life crisis therapy for aging American males, 1993findsus a little softer, a little wiser and a little grayer than when we lasl met, Mike Trent is a Senior Systems Engineer for Martin Marietta Corp, (Ocean.

nominated I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."

We get the picture, Dave! He recently finished up a tour as CO, SEAL Team Four in Norfolk. Currently, he is at the Pentagon as Head Naval Special Warfare Branch (N851) of the Expeditionary Warfare Division (N85). When not working, Dave is commuting to Virginia Beach to see his "girlfriend/fiancee," a Navy nurse practitioner at Portsmouth Naval Hospital. See you at the 20th, Dave! Thanks for the news.

Various news from our mail buoy: Bud King wrote from Hanford, Calif., near Fresno, where he is with United Airlines. He just gave up command of the NAS Reserve Unit and is looking for his next billet as an 0-6 (congrats!). Bud corrects me: "Don Clarkson has a son, Bart, which was correct, but he has two daughters, Katie (15) and Lorie (8)." Thanks. Bud saw Dan as he was back in Califomia for a business trip from Japan. Bud included a Reserve Captain List. Thanks, Bud. (Maybe we can get a complete and accurate Captain's list. Active and Reserve at Homecoming. Just a random thought . . . ) George Watt called me from Atlanta to let me know that one of his Plebes was giving him a hard time since 1 left hira off the Navy Reserve Captain List. Apologies, George, and to anyone else that I and other Classmates have overlooked. George is running IBM Consulting in Atlanta. He loves it, and with its own P&L and incentives, is doing great as a global raanagement consulting firm.

Kitty and Gary MacFadden are doing great. It's five years since Gary had cancer. Kelly, Erin and Kitty keep life hopping. Gary coached Kelly's girl's lacrosse team this past Spring. They went undefeated, "in spite of the coach." At their awards picnic, when trophies were handed out, Kelly's comment to parents/kids assembled was that she was "worried it would be too weird having her dad as a coach—but I guess he mrned out OK." John Ashmore, Nova and Tobin McNatt, and Nancy and Chuck Voith and MacFadden's recently completed their annual 4 day/3 night sailboat cruise on the Chesapeake. Gary states, "Each year we retell the same stories, only they get a little better!" Thanks, Gary!

I got a letter from a fellow the other day who had visited a Thrift Store in Milton, Fla. in 1988. Seems he came across a Midshipman combination cap, with khaki cover, and Vic Gazzolo's name inside. Anyway, he sent the cover toraeand I'ra prepared to forward it to Vic. Do you want it Vic? Jack Kutzer left a message for Steve Middleton on the Alumni Assn's BBS "Over the Wall" and Steve forwarded it to me. Seems Jack has been doing some contract work for the Department of Energy in Gaithersburg, Md., until mid-August. Jack lives in Melbourne, Fla., and apparently works as an independent consultant/contractor Jack can be reached at 3128 Lake Washington Road #235, Melbourne, Fla. 32934, 407-259-5091.

According to the Fleet Home Town News Center folks. Bill Mason recently took comraand of WADSWORTH in San Diego; John Meyer just retumed from six months in the Persian Gulf onboard HEWITT, where I presume he is the CO; and Fred Witesman is a LtCol. in the USMC Reserve and recently completed the Reserve Officer National Security Decision Making Course. Fred has been a manager at the Thiokol Corp. in Ogden, Utah for Wi years. As some of you may be aware. Bob Stumpf was "temporarily reassigned" from coraraand of the BLUE ANGELS in mid-May as a result of the Tailhook investigation.

The Government alleges that Bob was derelict in his duties as Commanding Officer of VFA-83 for not preventing certain conduct which occurred at Tailhook.

Bob attended Tailhook to accept the Estocin Award on behalf of his squadron—selected as the top Navy Strike Fighter Squadron for 1991. At this time (midAugust) he is not charged with, nor is there any suggestion that he participated in, any affirmative misconduct. He is alleged culpable by his presumed presence in the vicinity of others' misconduct. According to Bob's attorney, virtually the entire investigation was conducted after Bob's reassignment, underscoring the weakness of the allegations and the precipitousness of the reassignment. Since Bob made clear that he would fight the allegations, at trial if necessary, the Government has been desperately trying to justify relieving him of his duties. Bob has stated to VAdm. Reason, in writing that he committed no misconduct at Tailhook '91 and that he expects to be fully vindicated that he was not derelict in his duties. Bob is represented by Williams & Connolly, the firm which successfully defended Ollie North in 1990. The attorney representing Bob is Charles Gittins '79, and former USMC F-4 Radar Intercept Officer and JAG. A defense fund for Bob has been established to help defray his legal expenses. "The Defense fund for Robert Stumpf, Cdr., USN" is accepting donations made payable to The Stumpf Defense Fund, The First Navy Bank, 180 Taylor Road, NAS Pensacola, Fla. 32508. Trustees for the fund are: Captain Richard L. "Zeke" Cormier, USN (Ret.), CO, BLUE ANGELS, 1954-56, Captain L. Irving Williams, USN (Ret.), A-6 pilot and POW for 6 years in Vietnam, and Richard Sands, Spad and A-4 driver in the late '50's and early '60's. If the fund drive is successful, surplus funds will be donated to other active duty officers who spent their own money for legal services in defense of allegations arising from Tailhook '91. The selection of these individuals will be at the discretion of the trustees. To insure the security of the account, all withdrawals and disbursement of monies to Williams and Connolly or other active duty officers will require the signatures of the three trustees. I have been advised by Bob's attomey that Bob is in no way personally associated with the Defense Fundraentionedabove. It was forraed by the Trustees out of genuine concern that Bob and his family not beraadeto unnecessarily suffer financially as the result of this raatter.

Finally, as a follow up to last month's column. The Annapolis Marriott, which will be our 20th Reunion hotel, will begin accepting reservations for the 20th Reunion weekend on 1 November. Remeraber, he who hesitates sleeps in Ricketts Hall.

Pres., Raymond P. Wassel, Jr. S e c y Cdr. David P. Gray USNR 739 Cedar Run, Waldorf, Md. 20603 Time for your monthly dose of news. 1 survived another Annual Training period up in the land of Fire and Iceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Iceland. My unit supports Commander Iceland Defense Force at NAS Keflavik. 1 spent almost three weeks participating in exercise Northern Viking '93. Since we had about 20 hours of daylight, 1 was able to see a good bit of the fantastic scenery, even though 1 was on 12 hour watches. 1 kept an eye out for other 75ers, but no luck. It was not until I retumed home and was showing a friend frora Ireland an American version of an Irish Pub that I ran into a Classmateâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Pat Gottschalk. Pat was relaxing with Dick Feckler '76. at Ireland's Own after a preseason Redskins garae. Luckily I had a 75 shirt (pays to advertise) on, which raade him stop me. Pat is a lawyer working for Hazel and Thomas in Richmond, Va. Pat and Michele have two children, Sean (6) and Kevin (3).

The only letter I received was frora Bill Daley: After absorbing the high intensity life at USNA for over a year now, I felt it only right that I should finally write a letter to fill you in on some of our Classmates. Let me first say that this is the highest concentration of 75 I've ever seen, save the usual groups at reunions. Of course Ihe difference is that the ones I see on a regular basis are able to speak without aid of a Miller Lite.

Where to begin. Arriving at these hallowed grounds for my assignment as an instructor of Mechanical Engineering, thefirstperson I ran into was none other than that high striper turned race car driver/police avoider Mark Harper. Mark is now a civilian professor of Marine Engineering. having received his Ph.D. from the University of Maryland in die Summer of '91. His office is right across the hall from mine in Rickover Hall and we share a continual conversation on the merits of education at USNA. I keep him honest with running and he does likewise to me with racqetball.

Bill Ferris and Jeff Conley were teaching Weapons, both having since transferred in the early part of '93, Bill is currently assigned to some hush billet in D.C. while Jeff is at Dahlgren, Both still reside in Annapolis. I guess Jeff hasn'tfiguredout dial we should be conserving gas. . . his commutes are killers. I wish I could tell you what Bill does, but he said that if he told me he would then have to shoot me . . . my wife still needs help raising our three children, so I declined the information. Curt Coy recently transferred after serving as the Assistant Supply Officer al USNA. A fellow resident on the Parade Field. Curt has moved his poker ring to D.C. for his next assignment. Fred Cook was assigned to the PE Department and has since transferred to Pensacola as commanding officer of one of the training squadrons there. Mark Harper tells me of Barry McCullough who Iransferted before I arrived.

Barty was a Battalion Officer and moved on to be commanding officer of a KIDD class destroyer Charlie Floyd is assigned lo Ihe Computer Science Department. We see each other on a regular basis as we both are members of the awards board.

He's happy and grey. Norm Tooley teaches Physics and is the Associate Chairman of that Department, I don't see much of Norm, except in passing when he is usually deep in thought about something, A recent arrival is George Melnychenko. who is the Admissions Officer Lei's hope that George doesn't talk to any aspiring candidates or Navy's enrollment will drop dramatically . . . in this era of down sizing dial may be the reason he was sent here. Dennis Sullivan's wife Maureen is assigned to Leadership & Law. Dennis is in CivLant now and works for the Department of Veterans Affairs. We frequently see each other during hockey season as Dennis and I are avid followers of Navy hockey.

Here's an update on those in the area . . . Mike Cecere is stationed at NavSea but works primarily at Shipmate, October 1993

David Taylor across Ihe Severn. Mike and Mark Harper often share war stories . , . they were roommates. I mostly see Mike in McDonalds when we're both corralling our children; not a good time to exchange pleasantries. Then diere's Steve Hubbard with his wife and four children residing in Laurel. At last contact Steve was moving into a new home and was stationed in the D.C. area doing whatever inlels types do now that the Russians are our friends. Although I'm told that Dave Gothard is living in the Columbia area doing recruiting, I've not seen him.

Now for Ihe big gatherings at football games . . . yes this is extremely late but better late than never At the suggestion of Bob Conrad, a mini 36th Co. Reunion was held in September The list of attendees was quite impressive, that is if one is easily impressed. Mark Lunny and his family were there in force. I lost count of how many children Mark has; I'm not entirely sure he can count that high. He was a bundle of energy and a real pleasure to see again. Mark's roomie, John Knight, helped us drain some liquid refreshment. John was soon to depart for points west, far west, Japan as I recall. Steve Von Christierson and hisfianceewere there, Steve spent the day charming all the wives and entertaining all of their children, A person as patient with children as he is should have been martied years ago. I might add that at the time Steve was at the game his future wife was ""just a good friend." It was weeks later that Steve told me of his impending wedding in November '93. Congrats Steve! Vince Spunar and his wife and children were in attendance. What can I say about Vince . . . more on him later. R D (Bob Conrad for the uninformed) was the toast of the tailgate. Ever the gentleman, he impressed all with his smooth talking and knack for putting on a good party, R D called me in the Spring as he was leaving his joint D,C. tour bound for PCO school and ultimately for command of NICKOLSON in Charleston. Good luck Bob, the ship's lucky lo receive such afinecaptain.

Homecoming '92 saw my house full of Classmates and others. Debbie and Mark Klett made the trip from Virginia Beach and sparked the weekend festivities, I knew I was in trouble when Mark asked for beer with his cornflakes. We made a pilgrimage to Cantler's Riverside Inn after the game and Mark led the patrons in Navy Cheers, Bill McGloon was there also. His ship, THOMAS C HART, was visiting the yard that weekend and as such his behavior was better than Mark's. Bill's ship is slated for turnover to foreign military sale/lease in late Summer '93.

Now for the adventures of Vuice Spunar. Vince is working for a nuclear power plant south of Annapolis, a mere 45 minutes from my home. After the football get together, Vince laid low for a bit. Come Spring he resurfaced and took in a P-rade and some home cooked chow at my house. I happened to have several people for dinner in addition to two Youngsters (Class of '95), and Vince entertained them all.

While his style was hardly pc, he nonetheless was a breath of fresh air Vince retumed the following week to take in another P-rade, this one as a surprise for his two girls, who had never seen such a professional display by America's finest.

Craig Rankin assumed command of BALTIMORE in late February, I was unable to attend and the sub was not in port when I next visited Norfolk, but I'm sure that Craig is doing fine. He was one of the host ships for the congressional delegation investigating the impact of possible changes to the DOD policy on gays in the military.

I recently spoke with John Ennis on the phone.

We couldn't arrange a meeting but John is still working for Bell Labs as a Ph.D. in physics and lives in northern New Jersey. He and Mark Harper see each other at Reserve Engineering Duty Officer functions. Chris Mortonson and family were in Annapolis for Thanksgiving where I ran into him al the Chapel. Mort is working for Kemper Securities and calls the Milwaukee area home. Finally, Pat Gooley is stationed in Norfolk, commuting on weekends to his farm in Victoria (approx 70 miles west of Petersburg). This farm has 30 acres and 20 horses.

This has gone on long enough, but a few personal notes. As you've surmised by now I'm living in the Yard and am lucky enough to be billeted in quarters

on die Parade Field. Thefiveminute foot commute to Rickover is quite a change of pace, one I truly enjoy. My wife Chris and I have our hands full with three children, Meghan (10), Patrick (8) and Matthew (5), We sponsor a mob of Midshipmen and their perspective on life keeps us young and smiling.

The current crop of Midshipmen are hard working, smart and share a wonderful excitement about life. I suppose the same can be said of all those thai have gone before Ihcm . . . therein lies the best of the traditions and continuity that the Academy provides to the Navy and nation. That's all for now. If any of you are in the area please give us a call.

Thanks for the great update Bill. It was just what I needed this raonth. I also appreciate the disk you enclosed to save me sorae typing. I did have to work at it a little bit. I use a Macintosh to put the column together I can read just about any word processing file (IBM or MAC) as long as they are on 3.5 inch High Density disks. Your 5.25 threw me for a curve. Luckily a friend at work had an IBM which could read your disk so he loaded it on his machine and sent the file to me via COMPUSERVE. It worked and sure saved a lot of extra typing. So if anyone wants to send a disk 1 will gladly accept them. I also can receive files via COMPUSERVE. My address is 71223,2446.

COMPUSERVE also has an INTERNET gateway so if you have access to INTERNET you can send an E-Mail to me. I am also on the Alumni BBS, "Overthe Wall." The 800 number is in the front of Shipmate. Well that takes care of this month. Hope to see a lot of you at our usual Homecoming Tailgate. Take Care.

Pres., Chuck Gorum Sec'y, Cdr. Tim Traaen USN 4704 Fisherman's Cove Montclair, Va. 22026 (703) 730-2240 (H); 607-0902 (W) Greetings and salutations frora the shores of fabulous Lake Montclair! Received a letter from John Sarao, which was forwarded by Audrey Beth Dilucente (she's been quite a transition player, Dennis, and 1 appreciate the help!). John took the time to relate his experiences during BALTOPS 93 while he was Chief Staff Officer of DesRon 26. His story kind of makes you wonder how some guys get all the good deals!?! In his words: . . . This exercise has been held annually for the past 22 years in the Baltic Sea with some of our NATO allies, including Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands... for thefirsttime ever the following countries participated: providing ships were Finland, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Sweden; providing observers were Estonia and Latvia, The real challenge then became how do we go about operating together? Our staff then drafted and produced a tactical maneuvering book that was very simple and then had it translated into Russian and Polish, Three U,S, ships participated, SAN JACINTO (AEGIS CG), DEYO (DD/Flagship), and DOYLE

(FFG). . . transited to Aarhus, Denmark for a presail brief . . . I had the opportunity to brief to this multi-national audience some of the details of the exercise , . . The whole pre-sail conference went well.

When wefinallywent to sea and met with all the participating ships, it could not have gone any better . . . we were particularly concerned about the Russian ship, since the Russians did not attend the presail. However their KRIVAK class frigate showed up on time and quickly took her assigned station. All ships maneuvered sharply and responded to our orders and plans well. It was an amazing sight to see Danish. Finnish, German, Lithuanian, Polish, Russian. Swedish, and U.S. ships operating together!

I had the opportunity to visit and have lunch on

111

die Russian ship BDITELNIY (Imnopqrst!-sorry, John, couldn't resist-Tim) . . . I attended with my Commodore and the CO, of DEYO, AS I walked onto the ship, met their officers, and then dined and toasted vodka with them, I could not have imagined a couple of years ago that I would be doing anything like that, . . . made a port visit to Karlskrona, Sweden and then participated in the traditional phase of the exercise . . . (U.S. ships) were opposed by German/ Danish fast patrol boats, diesel submarines and various NATO fighter aircraft . . . best warfare training I had ever seen and it was perfect for our Navy's new role in "From the Sea" . , . had the best training for littoral, shallow water warfare.

My family is doing great . . . Betsy plays on a woman's tennis league and helps out at my son's school . . . Krista just tumed 13 and was one of 15 cheerleaders picked from afieldof 90 girls for her school's cheerleader team . . . Mark has tumed 9 and loves baseball... his team had a rough season but he still enjoys playing.

Some Classmate news; Ramm Phillips just recently left Norfolk for the Naval Aviation Depot in San Diego . . .

Steve Rohrssen passed through Norfolk with his reserve unit. He is CO. of his unit; they recently participated in OCEAN VENTURE . . .

Visited Lyal Davidson in his command, ARLEIGH BURKE, just prior to his leaving for deployment with the ROOSEVELT Battle Group. He has a beautiful ship. I had seen him last when we had commissioned CARL VINSON in '82.

I also received a note from Chuck Litz. He decommissioned his squadron, HS-9, on 23 April and is now an aviation CDR detailer at BuPers. Chuck relates that Mark Ruprecht is at OPTEVFor, Ken Beeks is C O . of HSL-44, Steve Gray is at the Naval Safety Center, Bill Hawn is enroute to coraraand from CruDesGru 8 staff and Keith Laser is C O . of HSL-48.

Mike Flentje has been C O . of JEFFERSON CITY (SSN-759) for a year now. He writes: . . . AfterfinishingPost Shakedown Availability (PSA), brought the ship through the Panama Canal to her new homeport of San Diego . . . recently retumed from Hawaii where we served as CinCPacFlt's flagship for the ComSubPac change of command. . . .I've seen many Classmates in San Diego and Hawaii. Bob Holland mentioned most of them in the June issue . . . in response to his potshot at my first PCS move in 15 years-it was well worth two PCS moves in one year to get command of this NEW submarine with all the latest and greatest . . . My RADCON madi tells me diat JEFFERSON CITY'S hull number is 79 numbers higher than Bob's ARCHERFISH (SSN-678) . . . I think it's just sour grapes on Bob's part! Seriously, Bob and I are great friends and former shipmates in BALTIMORE and I am sure everyone knows we are just joking around . . .

Frank Drennan (PORTSMOUTH) and Jed Larsen (PASADENA) are deployed . . . While in Hawaii, saw Dave Thieman (HELENA) and Mike Willy (AsPRO) . . . My old roommate, Mike Crochet (BREMERTON) was deployed, but I had dinner at his house with his wife Nancy . . . she's president of the Submarine Officers Wives Club in Pearl.

If any Classmates living in or passing through the San Diego area wants to see the newest and best submarine in the Pacific Fleet they are welcome to give me a call at 619-553-8993.

You're lucky SSBN-600 isn't around anymore, Mike, because that used to be the best boat in the Pacific Fleet. It was so good they named a new carrier after her!

William Brown writes that he, Paul Wrigley and Tim Theurer (all chaplains serving that BIG comraand-CinCUniverse) have all been selected for LCdr. Bill says that Mark Stevens is a neurological surgeon at Balboa Hospital in San Diego. Rick Carper is by now C O . of OLIVER HAZARD PEARY; his

wife Joan, teaches Economics at USNA. Mike Thurwanger is a PAO in the D C . area. Fred Home is a Battalion Officer at USNA and Joe Buranosky is C O . of MALS-24 in Kaneohe. Bill, Pat Bole and

HS-9 Decommissioning; Ruprecht, Beeks, Gray, Litz, Hawn and Laser (l-r). also is very involved in triathlon events and recently won a major competition in Phoenix, Ariz. Other updates Dan provided: Jim Grayson is at OpNav and handles funding requirements for Navy's test ranges, Bob Pttroka is at NavSea working on the AEGIS Program, John Moore is at SPAWAR as a SEW engineer working with the COPERNICUS Program, Bob Dixon is also at SPAWAR as one of the primary engineers in the OBU Program. YomKipper Nicely was recently in the area doing some reserve duty. He and Evelyn are doing very well in Albuqurque, where Kip is a State Respresentative.

A new conference has been added to the "OverThe-Wall" bulletin board recently. This is a "Real Estate" conference where we can post buy/sell/trade/ wanted to rent/etc. notices when we are told to pull up the tent pegs and move on! This seems like a good way to save on realtors fees if you're so inclined to sell your own property or decrease the risk inherent in renting to someone you know nothing about; I'd say on the whole, USNA grads are fairly good bets as renters. Check it out-the system is only as good as we want to make it!

Well, guys, that's about it for this issue . . . any suggestions for what you'd like to see in the column are most welcome; otherwise, you'll just have to put up with my drivel!! Do more with less and keep charging! Thanks to all of you who took the time to give me some up-to-date gouge. Keep it flowing.

Alexandra, Debra, Allison, Mike and Andrew Flentje (l-r)

Lee Freund attended Joe's change of command.

Steve Chapman assumed command of ANNAPOLIS in March.

Joanne and Dan (the Deadly Black Widow) Galik make their home in Burke, Va. Dan's assigned to the Navy INFOSec Office at SPAWAR. He recently was TAD to an AEGIS Computer Resources Working Group in Philadelphia and ran into Mark Trenor, who is working for Martin Marietta as a program manager for AEGIS. He also told rae that Dave Smith is in charge of research at NRaD in the area of neural networks and decision support systems. Dave

Pres., Maj. Keith Tibbits USMC Sec'y Cdr. Bill Millward USN 5013 Stone Haven Dr., Annandale, Va. 22003 Shipmates, as you can see by the length of this column, we have reached the low water "news" markan armual Summer event! Next raonth the information level should rise.

There is news to report! Sandy and Claude Barron have aimounced the birth of son number three, Alexander Thomas. Alexander was bom 8 July in Honolulu and weighed in at 7 lbs 8.6 oz. We hope Shipmate, October 1993

that everything is well for all concemed!

Phil Wisecup wrote from Coronado where he and Anne are enjoying the Summer months while most of the kids are off visiting the grandparents. Marie (10) and Madeline (8) are in France with Anne's parents and Sarah (6) is in Ohio with Phil's. Unfortunately Nathalie (3), had to stay at home with mom, dad and. . . the chickenpox (lean identify with that!). In addition to enjoying the concerts in the park, he has been wrestling with base closures, ship decommissionings, homeport shifts, and deployment plans-all with the incredibly shrinking budget-while working in Force Plans and Operations at ComNavSurfPac. In his capacity, he has been able to visit Jeff Sapp, CO INGERSOLL, and Sam

Locklear, CO LEFTWICH. He

also reports that Tom Lindner is in the Nl personnel shop at ComNavSurfLant, Mike McVay, lives in Encinitas while maintaining ties with the Naval Reserve. Gar Wright is his neighbor in Coronado, and Dan Thompson is at the Hoover Instittite at Stanford. Phil's number at SurfPac is 619 437-2306.

Thanks for the terrific news!

From Mike Wertz's Public Affairs Officer: Cdr. Mike " T u r b o " Wertz became the 23rd Commanding Officer of VAW-116 in a Change of Command Ceremony held 5 May 1993 at NAS Miramar in San Diego. He has accumulated more than 5,000 flight hours and more than 700 carrier landings. He is married to the former Catherine McCarthy of Chatham, N.Y, and resides in San Diego with wife and their children Megan, Maureen and Kyle.

In continuing our discussion regarding the Class gift, Bruce Campbell forwards die following thoughts: This is a follow-on to the letter I wrote last month about die Class gift. 1 mentioned that I had an idea I diough was pretty interesting, and I've talked it over widi a few people and I think I ought to toss it out to the Class. Nowhere at the Academy is there a memorial for diose who died as Midshipmen. These are individuals who went through the same hardships, challenges, depressions and exalted experiences as we did, but were denied the rewards of lifeafter-Academy dirough accident or illness. It seems fining that we who now can look back and more fully appreciate what it takes to get lo, and through, die Academy come up with some way of remembering those who paid the price but did not get the chance to serve.

This idea has some personal impetus behind it as my brother Reg '73 died at the end of his Second Class year (during June Week) in a freak swimming accident. Reg was far from the ideal midshipman (even fardier than I was!) and he probably wouldn't have made CNO or anything like that. But he was a star of the soccer team (popped in the winning goal against Army one year) and he was really looking forward toflyinghelicopters after graduation. When I showed up the year after he died, I would think of Reg whenever I was chopping down those same halls or braced up at a come-around, remembering that he had told me about these strange customs. He also told me about the friends, football games, and the cool military-related things likeflyingor driving a ship diat you don't do at "normal" colleges. We were really close as kids, but now, knowing how special my Classmate friends are, I know that Reg and I would feel all the more connected due to this shared Naval Academy experience. A memorial to midshipmen who died while at the Academy would be an acknowledgement that, in this same way, we are all connected.

I've talked to some of the officers at the Alumni Association who have also talked it up with Academy officials and there's a lot of interest in this idea.

Though no specific type of memorial has been suggested, this could be a Memorial Hall kind of thing where Classes could pause before graduation to remember their Classmates who would be accompanying them only in their thoughts. A first-cut search has been done on the records and it looks like it should be possible to identify all midshipmen who have died while attending the Naval Academy, It looks like the number is around 200, There is still the weight room idea that we have begun collecting donations for In Ihe light of giving Shipmate, October 1993

something to the Academy specifically for midshipmen to use, I think it's, an awhilly nice thing for us to do. But as far as calling it our "Class gift," I would rather work towards something that would be more generally appreciated and be more of a remembrance of the Class of '77. The Alumni officials are quick to point out that we can always do both, and that certainly is an option, but I come back to the crux of my last letter which is that it's a decision that the whole class should be involved in. I suggest that any of you who care, drop a note to Bill Milward or Owen Thorpe (or me if you like) and voice your opinion. Like I said last time also: we're in no hurry.

There has been a great deal of effort working this project. The dialogue should continue until a resolution is reached.

Until next month, Happy trails . . . Bill.

Pres., Steve Maloney Sec'y, Vince Balderrama 45 Little Fawn Dr., Shelton, Conn. 06484 This column is probably going to shock the heck out of you because it really will be the shortest ever!!!! This time I really mean it. Honest, I'm NOT KIDDING. (1 can hear you all saying, yeah, sure, Vince.) Well, suffice to say that I'm extremely behind the power curve this time. There are stacks of Alumni Updates all about me (which I have to go through, consolidate and get into Shipmate form), paper on top of the stacks of paper I have to do for work, on top of the stacks of paper I have to file, on top of the stacks of paper which are bills 1 have to pay—OOPs, better get to that stack of paper, first . . . Well, there go the lights. 1 better get to that one piece of paper to United lllurainating, NOW! So, in the hopes of not having an empty column in your hands, 1 get on my knees and beg the Almighty One (The Shipmate Editor) to once more look favorably on ray belated fax, and put this humble attempt at a column into this month's edition.

Remember, 'tis better to have something, than nothing at all! Or is it, it's better to look good than feel good, dahling?—Same thing.

So here's all the news for which I have time to write— Saw some of you, talked to a couple of you, drank beer and ate some of your food, got no mail this raonth, and as for me—I'm hanging in there. About the 15 year reunion— Been there. Saw it. DID IT . . . Still recovering from the revelry.

Well, that's it. 1 told you I'd make this quick. Believe rae, a little smelling salts, or breathing into a paper bag will help you in your recovery.

In the next edition, look for Real sightings of Shipmates, loose talk from a few "confidential" sources, "Socks the Cat—A closet Canine?", "Philo T. McGiffin found with Jimmy Hoffa in 4th Floor 7th Wing Medicine Cabinet," "Confessions of a Tailhooker." From our Science Editor—"How to Gauge the Purity of Gouge," and from our Legal Editor— "How to Gauge the Purity of the Gouge." Also look for genuine stories of the Reunion, real photos, real balderdash. As you can guess, verbosity and volume will be the name of the game next raonth! After all, if I can say THIS ranch about NOTHING, in this month's column; think of what 1 can do next raonth when I DO have something on which to write—it'll be kinda like a novella, Kurt Vonnegurt-meets-James Michener-like.

Well, I'm outta here before 1 embarrass myself even more. My signal's Buster (with a capital B).

Launchin', Spot 4.

Pres., Mike Finley Sec'y, Ken Russell 6234 Azalea Dr., Quartz Hill, Calif. 93536 (805) 943-7933 Well, it's another blue, down in the mouth sorta tirae for yours truly The Antelope Valley (yeah, it's a bogus name for the Mojave Desert) is turning into the Fall season with manic depressia winds from hell and for some unexplained reason, it's got me a little melancholy. I'm pretty much over Ling-Ling's death so I think this tirae it's gotta be due to either the Dodgers being twenty and a half garaes out, that Bert and Loni thing or the fact that the last episode of Cheers was rerun only five times this month. I have decided that instead of constantly picking up the tumble weeds around the house, I'm gonna spray paint them white and make a bunch of "desert-scape" snowmen. The plastic pink flamingo on the front lawn is getting too old and faded and needs replacing. All right, enough psycho-coraedy-babble; we've got a news bag to get to and it's time to shift gears, so let's move along smartly, shall we?

Straight from across the pond, Linda and Al Whiting are happy and healthy as Al continues on with his Doctorate in, I think, Astralphysics, Tiny Particle Physics, Lots of Complex Chalkboard Sized Equations Physics, or sorae kind of Black Hole quantum, Heisenberg uncertainty, Hawkings radiation type of deal. Whatever the heck it is, I hope it results in a new "Stop the Wind" in a spray can product. Anyway, back in England, Al has seen some Niners there while doing his ACDUTRAs in London; they are Dick Tobey, Dave Jackson and Mike Weiss. Dick and his wife Jean have two young'ns, Sarah (8) and Matt (6). Al said that they spend time on the river with the Tobeys doing some activity called "punting." Forgive my ignorance, but it sounds like they go through lots of footballs if they spend afternoons kicking them into the river. I reraember Navy doing a whole lot of that also during the Fall of our sophomore year. Doughball reminded rae that he and I have spent raore tirae in the Reserve than we have spent on active duty, so 1 guess the hidden meaning behind that is we're old. Al, thanks for the info and explanations of the Black Holes, but I already knew one heck of a lot about them since the Lancaster Post Office lost the shoes I ordered from Brookes Brothers.

Gary Herbold left an incredible message on the Home Office BBS, "Over The Wall" about his doin's with the Class act folks from 22d Company. 1 copied it straight from the board so here goes; I just got back Sunday from Cape Canaveral to see Dan Bursch. 22d Company go up in the Space Shuttle. Unforttinately they had mechanical problems and they scrubbed the mission, but we had a good reunion anyway. The people attending from 22d were myself. Bob Smout, Mike Muldoon, Mario Bladnell, and Russ Nevitt, all attending without families. Mario travelled the furthest, coming all the way from Frankfurt, W. Germany. On the family side were Ted Branch, Rob Sterling, Michelle Brower Pat Temple, Andy Hagelin, Becky Fremont, all in attendance with a whole bunch of great kids to carry-on some great traditions. We cannot forget the parents who attended!

They include Jackie Branch, Mr and Mrs. Jim Temple, Rob and Marge Sterling, Michelle Brower's folks, the Krauses to include Ellen, and Steve Jones' family. The most important people this weekend were Roni Bursch and Dan's parents as they were in their glory. Our party central was the Radisson in Cape Canaveral, which had an awesome pool. To say the least it was a great weekend despite the fact that many of us will have lo watch thefirstastronaut from our Class go into space on the TV. Congratulations to Uncle Bud. we are all proud of what you have accomplished!

Gary, thanks a bunch and 1 hope by now Dan has ^ had a chance to see the planet from orbit.

John "Wiz" Withers threw his hand up to take the 19th Company rep slot. He and 1 have been conversing via the Bulletin Board and instead of translating, I'll plop down his exact words. You 19th Corapany folks pay attention because John's address is included in his raessage: Hi, Ken! Just a quick note to let you know I'm back on line, I left San Diego early June and drove cross country (fortunately before thefloods)to Pax River, where I've been working for about a month.

Still waiting to complete the house purchase process, and since the BOQ has been closed for 7 months for renovation. I'm in a furnished apartment right outside the gate. Brings back memories of being a freshly graduated Ensign , , . fortunately. I had the wherewithal to ID my computer for an early household goods delivery. Not much else, but the TV, VCR and computer I mean, what else is there?

Working on the NAWCFIEG staff here at Pax, I'll be one of the govt reps for the V-22 when it gets here in September No, no chance to fly it, but the program has so far been very interesting to work with Looks like, if we can ever get it into production, your old service will get a nice airplane USAF is showing some tentative interest, too. Not much to report Enjoyed Gary Herbold's note about Dan Bursch and the shutde. Always great to see Classmates doing well. I'm waiting to close on a house, but for the next several months at least I can be found here: John D. Withers (Wiz), PO. Box II, Patuxent River Md. 20670-0011, H 301 737-0719, W 301 826-1141, DSN 326-1141 (Aulovon) The last time I volunteered for something I was hauling luggage for 3 Swiss generals (including the head one) and flipping over 500 overhead transparencies at a 2-day conference. There's only one way to go after that!!

Talk al you more in the not-so-distant future.

John, thanks for the note and for volunteering Folks, 1 thought you'd get a kick out of John's BBS tagline: "Tuna just doesn't taste the same without tht dolphin."

Mike got a letter from Rusty Lee, but it had mj address on the envelope so 1 took the risk of getting the ten thousand dollar fine and opened it up myself Sure enough, it was Classmate info. Rusty spent Kids, 1 am fresh out of comedy (yeah, sure, we all seven years at the Colorado School of Mines obtainknow what a big surprise that is) so I'll have to leave ing a Master's of Mining and Geological Engineeryou with this yarn: "Everytirae you drive over a dead ing.

Christening of Venetia and Joe Hayden's daughter, Maureen. As many of you may know, Maureen was born very premature, and it has been touch and go for the extent of her little life, including surgery eye issues, and survival. She is a beautiful lady, and it was a real treat to see friends. Classmates, and fellow officers there to lend support She is now growing, cooing, and lighting up the world. We really do belong to a "Fraternity of the Sea," and it is wonderful to see this in practice. Joe has just accepted a position (410) 263-4448 with Molten Metals, up in the Newport, R.I. area. He

The mail bag has been REALLY small this summer. I guess that with all of the requirements to water-ski and get out on the water, everyone was taking it easy on the Class sec . . . well, now is the time to flood the coffers! 1 did receive a letter from Griffin and John Fry in Atlanta. They hosted a mini-reunion at their home which was attended by none other than Bert Nelson and Jay Whitlock. Jay has just departed from submarines and is job searching. Hopefully by the time of this printing that will be a misprint and should read. . . has just accepted a job with . . . ! H e is looking in the South and Florida. Bert is still with Raytheon and living in Las Vegas. He does report that it is so hot (how hot is it?) that when he takes his gimlet outside by the pool in the evening, the glass doesn't even sweat! John and Griffin are still with Alston and Bird where John primarily does patent, trademark, intellectual property, and anti trust work.

On to the HOMETOWN NEWS RELEASES! (1 told you the pickings were slim); Mike Shettle was recently awarded the Navy "E" while serving with VS-30, NAS Cecil Field, Fla.

1 spoke with Tony Verducci recently to coraplete some financial tumover for the Class. He is in Irvine Calif, with the JAG corps. He and his wife Peggy have three children Kara, II, Meghan, 4, and Matthew, 2. All monies have been transitioned to the Alumni Association, and a full report on the status of the Class treasury will follow soon in a President's letter that should be out this fall. Tony had some Class "sightings" . . . Michelle and Mike Rose were blessed with a baby girl, Emily, in mid-May, their first.

Jim Hudson—two days after his wedding (in June), Jim and Laurie began a cross country move!

He's stationed aboard IKE now, Lester Hayward—he and Janis added a second child (Thomas) to their family, Les works in New York City for March & McLennan, he is an insurance broker for utilities with nuclear reactors.

Rich Schott asked me to add "The Colonel" to our mailing list. I have taken thai for action . . .Col. Bill and Linda Clark are living in Waterloo, Neb., and have purchased a 21-room house, soon to be a Bed and Breakfast.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday season. Take care and keep in touch. Congratulations to everyone who recently made 0-4.

And then here is a note from Craig McDonald: Cambodia has lived up to everything I expected of duty in Southeast Asia. Rice paddies and palm trees dominate the mostly flat landscape. Temperatures and humidity are on the rise as the monsoon season draws closer each day. Duty with the United Nations has its ups and downs. Everything operates at a much slower pace than we are use to in the US military. I can not complain though, as my duty with the Mine Clearance Training Unit allows me a great deal offlexibility.My partner and I, Navy Lieutenant Jim Hall, are the Mobile EOD Team. We have been able to travel the country by Landcruiser and Russian Mi-26 helicopter to a number of different and interesting places. To date we have destroyed over 3,000 hazardous munitions left over from a variety of recent and not so recent wars.

There are a total of 46 Americans from DOD assigned lo this mission. Of thatfigurefour are USNA Alumni; not a bad percentage. Our classmate Ed Payne (13) is curtenlly stationed along the Cambodian-Thailand border The biggest coincidence for me was that Ed and I did a WestPac together on FORT FISHER in 1985. Talk about a small world. Ed will finish up his second six month tour this June. The other Alumni here are LCdr. Bob Powers '80 and Capt. Bob Bader '86.

have an entrepreneurial spirit (at least I do) and 1 for one would be interested in hearing from anyone who's got their own business, maybe you can inspire one of our Classmates or even find some assistance from "the fleet" of '83. Good luck Chris, by the way, what kind of business is it, and how is it going, we'd love to know. By the way the Alumni Association is going to be starting a Business Resource Directory; I saw some info on it in the last issue; and don't forget that the BBS (bulletin board system) "Over the Wall" is another good way to network. Well, that's all for now; 1 was waiting for Bill Freitag to call but he raust be on "deployment?" in Bermuda (you P-3 guys have it tough). Stay healthy, see you in Annapolis, and don't forget to write a friend.

Have a great time at the 10 year reunion. If anyone spots the elusive Pete Webb or Todd Vangunten, let me know. Craig.

Thank goodness somebody is trying to stay in touch with their old friends from USNA; thanks Jay. During ray 4 year sentence in Cell Block 29 I raade some of the best friends I have (what does that say about me???), but how often do I write them or even call just to see how they're doing (I do think of you guys, particularly when I'm short on money). Its amazing how much we each get caught up in our own lives and find it hard to stop and write a letter to an old friend. Does anybody write letters anyraore, my phone bill was almost $200 last raonth (not that I called anybody, who knows who ray wife is talking to) and I only write one letter per raonth (you're reading it, and I have a hard tirae writing this one). I ara raaking a personal goal to write at least one letter to one of the guys (OK, maybe a phone call) during the next month.

Fortunately, last month was our 10 year reunion at Homecoming and many relationships were reestablished and we'll try to do better over the next 10 years keeping in touch. Hope everybody had a great time. (Sorry I can't say much more about Homecoming at this time, but it's not till next month.)

FTHN tirae: LCdr. Jim Boorujy is in Alaraeda onboard the cruiser ARKANSAS and Sam Mills is also stationed in the Bay area with a carrier battle group staff. I was just in SF last raonth on vacation, boy that sure is a nice area. Having military bases all over the world is a great benefit. I was able to get some good tourist info (not to mention some discounts) at the SATO office at the Preside (now that is a nice base, hopefully we won't lose it). Al Tanski is also on the West Coast, in Bremerton, Wash, aboard NIMITZ. Al recently eamed a Navy Achievement Medal, I didn't get a copy of the citation, but I heard he was responsible for making sure every single electrical outlet on the ship was operational (he's the Electrical Officer) for an extended period of time (those in my stateroom never worked). Jim Hart must have a friend in the Navy Public Affairs Office, I've received a press release on Jim for the last 4 raonths straight. 1 didn't know you could do so ranch underwater, your deployraent raust be up pretty soon. Oh by the way, it says Jim joined the Navy in 1976, wow, 3 more years and you can retire?! Anybody else been in for such a long time, let us know.

Thank you for the kind words and article contribution and congratulations to you, Gail!

Back in June, Leigh Armistead sent along lots of news and a great picture of our Classmates aboard NIMITZ. Pictured left to right are: Ross Holcomb (CVIC), Sam Bovington (NFO, VA-165), Todd Evans (Pilot, VA-165), Leigh (TAO CDC), Bronson Armstrong (Air Department), Bob Kametz (Air Operations), J. D. Baldwin (Air Operations), and Bill O'Connell (Flag Comms). When Leigh wrote, the ship was in the raidst of it's transit back horae frora an Arabian Gulf deployment. Leigh, aside frora his regular duties, kept incredibly busy with a series of collateral duties including running the Captain's Cup Tennis tournament, participating in Hash House

Harrier runs, organizing Hash House Harrier runs, creating a NIMITZ-AWACS Crossdecking Program, flying with VAW-112 to retain currency, working on finishing his Master's thesis, doing correspendence courses frora the Army War College, standing qualifying watches in a half dozen positions, and determining what must be the most profound reason why woman and homosexuals (what about lepers and ax murderers?) should not be allowed on surface combatants (1 won't spoil it for you—wait for the book).

Leigh also passed along the following information on our other Classmates featured in the NIMITZ photo.

Ross Holcomb completed his Master's of Science degree in National Security Affairs at Monterey and transitioned to the Intelligence community in 1991.

Afterwards, Ross attended the Intelligence School in Virginia Beach, Va., and then transferred to NIMITZ as the Intelligence Operations Officer. Ross reports that none of this was at the expense of keeping his volleyball game in top form. In between sea tours, Ross played for the All-Navy team and All-Armed Forces Team in international competition in China (1985), Italy (1990), and Colorado Springs (1991).

Ross has also had some success in semi-professional two-on-two beach tournaments—last year he and partner Olympian Allen Allen won the Seaside Open.

Sam Bovington spent three years in surface line in San Deigo, then went to Pensacola, then on to "four years of bliss" as a B/N out of NAS Whidbey Island.

Sara and Teri Lynn are the happy parents of Megan (7) and Sara (2). This is Sara's first input to Shipmate and he sends along greetings to all his 8th Corapany buddies. Bob Kametz arrived on NIMITZ mid-cruise for a disassociated sea tour. Bob's first tour was with VA-36 as a B/N aboard ROOSEVELT. For shore duty.

Bob cross-trained in F-14s and worked in aircraft research and development as NAWC Warminster, Penna. While stationed there. Bob raet and married the former Lori Pangrass. J. D. Baldwin arrived on NIMITZ last March frora instructor duty at USNA. J. D. and Sue have been raarried for four years and, while stationed in Annapolis, became the happy parents of Gretchen and Jay. Finally, Mary and Bronson Armstrong were raarried in Sacramento, Calif., where Bronson also earned his NFO Wings. Bronson's first tour was in VP-44 (now decoraraissioned) in Brunswick, Maine. From there it was on to Postgraduate School at Monterey where he earned a Master's of Science degree in Applied Science (ASW). Mary Bronson, and children Zachary, Talbot, and Lauren currently live in Washington State.

Congrattilations to all of our Classmates who came out on the Lieutenant Commander list. My dear friend Brian Goodrow sent me a copy of the message (highlighted to indicate where my name was conspicuously absent). Here are a few names that I recognized; Andy Hale, Lantz Ellis, Tony Onorati, Dave Vanderschoot (Reserve), and Scott Vogelsang (Reserve)—1 appologize to those of you that I

Feast or famine in this biz' sometimes! Not much in this raonth. Kelly and Mike Amedick had their first little girl, Jordan Bethany, last May. They're by now out of Newport and in Norfolk, where Mike's the CHENG onboard SCOTT (DDG-995). They have, by

the way, taken advantage of the lowest interest rates in six million years and are buying in Chesapeake.

While at Dept. Head School, Mike ran into Mike Giaoque, Glen Miller, Dan Redmond, Andy Shuma, Pat Morrissey, and Brian Solo.

Saw Henry Silva last month. He's moved in with VAW-121 and will be having fun with us on board GEORGE WASHINGTON. Also ran into Phil Munaco

at Strike U. in Fallon, Nevada. He's doing well; working the "cell," he remindsraeof Hal Holbrook in the action blockbuster, Midway. He says Rich '87 and Paige (Kohli) Hoffman are looking forward to twins (YIKES!!) right about now. Good luck, you guys. Phil's lookin' for a boat job 'bout this tirae next year.

On the Seven Seas, John Worman recently got ahead of an Air Medal flying around Northern Iraq for three raonths during Provide Comfort. Kurtis Lang just reported to the MarDet at the Field Artillery School in Fort Sill, Okla. Dave Jones got back off an Arabian Gulf cruise a few months ago on board HEWITT; 1 think they were in on the TEAM fun. Dan Gruta got his NAM a few months back for teaching the International Surface Warfare Officer's course at AraPhib School at San Diego.

Hey, for all you guys out there buying quake insurance, Navy's going to beat up on San Diego State on 3 September 1994.

Mike, Kelly, and Jordan Amedick That's about it. For my summer vacation, I moved to 4009 Fallsway Court (the rest stays the same). It was more painful than cruise (even if you move only 2.4 miles down the road) and I added Mr. Banker onto my all-time "YOU ARE SCUM AND I'M NOT" list.

Pres., Capt. Owen Duke USMC East Coast Sec'y, Lt. Jim Matheson USN Sec'y Lt. Tim Wolf USN RO. Box 87, Annapolis, Md. 21404 Washington, D.C. Welcorae to another edition of a current affair.

Seems like it has been a pretty busy summer for a large number of '87 grads transferring to new assignments or transitioning to the civilian world, with a significant group waiting on VSI/SSB authorization (if Congress passes the legislation and the Navy uses it that is.) Well, on with the show.

1 first wanted to highlight two items in VAdm. Lawrence's Capitol Hill section of the July-August Shipmate. Matt Ludwig piloted a SH-60 off MOBILE BAY, which rescued one of two aviators who had ejected from their F-14, 80 miles southeast of Yokosuka, Japan a few months back. And David A. Johnson was awarded the Inaugural Dr. Colleen S. Smiley-Owendoff Memorial Teaching Excellence Award as the most outstanding instructor at the Naval Acaderay in the field of Professional Developraent.

Dave teaches in the SeaNav Department in Luce Hall and is pursuing a M.G.A. at Univ. of Maryland.

Wife Dorothy is studying for her nursing degree.

They say hi to all, especially Doug Shutz.

A special thanks goes to Mr. Ron Waddell '67, for his kind and gracious obituary for Glen Campbell in the July-August Shipmate as well.

WTio says old news isn't good news. On 15 May, Laurie and Eric Parker tied the knot in Charleston, where Eric had been Flag Lt. to RAdm. Pearson at MineWarCom. The Parker's are currently in Newport, where he is attending SWO Department Head School. '87 attendees included Art Pruett, Derrick Smith, Kathy Allen, and Chris Wilson.

Shipmate, October 1993

Continuing on that marriage note, Christine and Geoff Hoffer got "hitched" at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco on 17 July. Christine works for Alaska Airlines. Pat Curtin and Kathy Allen were among the attendees. The best man, Pat, is stationed atVP-30in Jax. Lisa and Robert Dietz were raarried in Toronto this past July. After corapleting his PEP tour, he'll be off to the Caraegie-Mellon Business School starting this fall.

To avoid any previous confusion, Lee Miller is still in the Navy while working at the Departraent of Justice advising the much taller Attorney General on counter-drug matters.

Rumor has it that Jim Leiio and Bill Angeloni may join the ever growing list of former bachelors taking the dive. Say it isn't so! Jim and Bill, help me out and confirm or deny this info. Or at least send pictures. I'm starting a collective Class wedding album for the 25 year reunion!

Well, along with the marriages and engagements comes the baby news thing. This month I pass along the happy announcement of the birth of Carter Ellis Harwood to Bart Harwood and his wife. The Harwood's are residing in Summerville, S. Carolina.

Walt Sechreist and Tim Wolf graduated with M.A.'s in National Security Studies from Georgetown University in August. Though not quite ready to take Tony Lake's job as National Security Advisor to the President, hopefully the extra piece of paper from Georgetown will pay off in the near future.

Yeah, I could be President now, that's the ticket. That Hoya alumni thing. A nuraber of other Classmates completed the NSS program shortly after graduation.

Like USNA, it's a good place to be from.

And now a word from our sponsors at Fleet Home

terms of celebrating this event.

Here's a heads up for everyone, so please take note. Capt. Ed Ellis '46, Coordinator for June Week West 1994 has asked the following be promulgated.

In conjunction with the Navy-San Diego State football game in San Diego on 3 September 1994, there will be a "Homecoming West" weekend. As with all big events, more info will follow in the Spring, but he needs help with planning and estimates for the SoCal shindig. If you think you have the slightest interest in attending the weekend gala which raay include time in Las Vegas and may need hotel accommodations in San Diego please let me know at 703-486-1760, and I'll forward to Capt. Ellis. If anyone would like to coordinate '87 activities for the weekend, please let me know as well and maybe we'll just have another excuse to party together. Also, one more date(s) to put on your long-range calendar is the weekend of 16-19 October 1997 for Homecoraing and our 10year reunion. We're all going to stay at the Sup's House, so bring a sleeping bag and a toothbrush.

Overflow will be at Owen's house. (Just kidding Mr. Duke).

I've been queried to file a Fish and Dunph report so as soon as they get out of jail I'll let you know what happened. If only I could keep a straight face when I write this stuff. I guess no news from P-cola is no news. Like Morrison says, "This is the end . . ."

Thank you for all your patience—I've got quite a few letters here that I've been waiting for time to copy. They were originally done on an old computer and I couldn't convert the languages. Sorae of the news raay be old; but I don't want to leave anyone out so here I go: First off 1 have sorae sad news to report that I'm not sure ever made it to Shipmate: Tristram Farmer was killed in an E-2 crash in the Caribbean last year.

The next letter is over a year old due to mail delays and 1 apologize to Max Mejia, it's been typed twice already: Greetings from the Pearl of the Orient. Here's an update on the two members of USNA-88's Manila chapter After graduation in 1988, Joseph Abaya and I attended graduate school, Joseph went to Cornell to earn his Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and I went to the Fletcher School in the Boston area to earn an MA. in Law and Diplomacy.

We retumed to the Philippines in 1990 to report for duty in our Navy. Joseph was assigned aboard the presidential yacht BRP ANG PANGULO where he now serves as Presidential Service Officer and Gunnery Officer I was assignedfirstto the destroyer escort BRP RAJAH HUMABON and subsequendy to the

search and rescue ship BRP TIRAD PASS where I now serve as First Lieutenant and Gunnery Officer Joseph and I are also assigned billets concurrent with our shipboard duties, he as Naval Aide to the President and I as Hag Lieutenant to the Commandant of the Philippine Coast Guard.

The Philippine chapter of the USNA and the West Point Society hold an annual get-together to watch the Army Navy game. Since we don't get live coverage in Manila, we watch it on videotape die morning after the game is held stateside. Enclosed is a photo of some of the ecstatic alum who cheered for Navy.

Wendi Foumier, wife of Michael Fournier, wrote to say diat she and Michael had a baby boy Michael Craven who was born on 4 July, weighing seven pounds, 10 ounces. Congratulations!!

Another slightly late letter and beautiful picture from Mrs. Harold Yeldell. She writes: "I know it's impossible to believe but the "Heartbreaker" has been Hooked! Yes, Harold Yeldell and I were married 1 August 1992 in Jackson, Mississippi. The wedding was rescheduled a few months early due to a change in the boat's schedule. Harold has been stationed on USS STURGEON, a fast attack sub stationed in Charleston. Many thanks to all Harold's Classraates who sent kind encouraging words and best wishes we really appreciate it." Thank you Shauna and Happy Anniversary!!

I'll go ahead and quote right from Mike Carlton's wife, Beth; "For the last three and a half years Mark Carlton has stayed busy in Kingsville. After receiving his wings of gold in April 1990, he became the last SERGRAD in VT-22. Speaking as his wife, our life down here in south Texas has been good (except that all four wedding anniversaries have been spent here!) I was able to finish college and have the time for a baby. Our son, David Robert, was born on 4 Deceraber 1990. As for Mark, he's been getting plenty of flight tirae; a few hours short of 1000 in the A-4 alone. We've received orders to Lemoore in early August where he'll begin training on the F-18. A great part about these orders is that Mark's old roommate, Paul Dolan, and his wife Janice will be heading our way two months later for his training. Also 1 received baby announcements from several other Classraates: Pam and Scott Davis had a girl, Montanna Rae in March 1992. Terri and Rob McLauchlan had a baby boy R. Conner in late April 1992. That should catch me up! Thaidcs. Beth" Thank you and I hope you're enjoying LeeMore.

A quick letter and picture frora Don Bates and his wife Marianne from their 28 March 1992 wedding at the Chapel at MCAS Tustin. Don says that Marianne is a true Californian raised in Costa Mesa. Dan Conley attended their wedding and the reception at the MCAS El Toro O Club. Don spent two years at Camp Pendleton with the School of Infantry and is currently stadying Operations Analysis at the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey. John Schulte is also there with the same curriculum. If you're in Monterey, look Don up at: 150 A Hawthorne St., Monterey, Calif 93940.

Another year old letter from Scott Evans—I really didn't think 1 took this much time off! I didn't throw anything away so you'll all have to read old news for a while. Sorry!

I guess it's been over two years since I last wrote and so much has happened . . . I got martied in March of '90, deployed for nine months to Okinawa, the PI, and Saudi Arabia from July 1990 for April 1991, became a father on 30 May 1992 and now am on my way to Parris Island after a three year tour with the 2D Bn, lOth Marines, My son's name is Hayden Scott Evans and he was eight pounds—I'm sure my wife Donna loved that. Harry Demiris is his godfadier In fact, Harry is coming to visit and trying to get into the Navy Funded Law Program.

By now, Harry should be a Daddy too—his wife Eileen was due last Christmas. I went down to Parris Island last weekend and Mary and Ty Yanvary invited me over They're both great and their little girl is growing fast (almost two now). Ty is widi the Fox Company 2D Bn.

Those in 12th Company may remember Steve Rutherford '90; he's with SEAL Team 5 and he wrote a postcard from Montana (?) to say: "Thought I'd drop a note from the snake eating side of the family informing you of the recent departure from the Navy of Dave Kaufman. After four years of practicing anti-medical techniques on people, hefinallydecided to try life on the other side of the line. This Septeraber, he will be attending Harvard Medical School where he plans to concentrate on sports raedicine. From your old Plebe Steve" Thanks for the update! More SEAL news: Jim Darcy was married to the former Miss Diane Ramsey on 12 December 1991 and is with SEAL TEAM 3 in Coronado along with Jeff Cassidy. Jim can be found at: 676 J Avenue, Coronado, Calif. 92118.

That's all 1 have room for now; but I promise there'll be raore in a raore timely manner. I've got a new job as Protocol Officer at CinCPacFlt in Hawaii so I'm a little bit busier; but happy to be out of the BOQ business. Thanks again for all your letters and your patience. KTJ

Al Ziegler is somewhere doing something for awhile so I guess I'll write this article. 1 don't have any letters from anyone so I'll pass on the rumors I'm aware of.

In wedding news, Robert Pryce Jones raarried Sabina Woe (Air Force '89) in the Chapel on 24 July.

I understand he is a P-3 NFO and will soon report to somewhere in Oklahoraa. John Byington, who is currentiy flying SH-2s, was in attendance. Donald D'Andrea and Belynda Honloon were married on 17 July in Montgoraery, Ala. Congratulations to all!

As far as kids go, my and Adrianne's daughter, Samantha, is about 1 year old now and doing fine. 1 haven't heard from Dan Bishop, but he and his wife Amy should have a child about 6 months old now. I heard Dean Ebert and his wife Betty are expecting very soon. I think Dean is in Whidbey Island going through the EA-6B RAG. Here is a good rumorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Tony Ohl is getting out in January. What the Heck!? Is he thefirstone out? Who does he know? Anyway, if it is true Tony, Good Luck and keep us posted.

Baron Reinhold is with VP-22, going all over the place. He and his wife Jamie are doing fine. Wait a minute! I do have a letter after all. It is 6 months old but the only one 1 have. Baron writes from Okinawa: . . . I was walking out in town and Frank Johnston walksrightby me. I hit him in the shoulder as he walked by and he mrned around a little starded. I grew a mustache so it look him a second to recognize me. He is on a 6 month pump out here.

We stood around and swapped lies for awhile . . .

Thanks for the letter Baron. However, I must caution you about startling Frank. You know how he is Gust kidding, Frank).

In other news, Chris Straw isflyingSH-60s out of Jacksonville. Efrem Venters is out in Califomia doing die same. Lynne Chapman just finished SERE school and isflyingH-53s at the RAG in Norfolk. She will leave for Italy in the near future. Sandy Nagy is on her way to NPG school in Monterrey.

Now for the Kingsville update. Congratulations to the following folks who earned their Wings of Gold recently: Mike Devaux, Scott Prinz, F/A-18s, Jax; Terry Clark, Steve Yeager, Jerry Wallace, F-14s, Oceana; Jeff Renwick, EA-6Bs, Whidbey. Good Job Guys!

Marc Schiepe, Andre Stroud, Dave Lowe, Will Suggs, and Tony Carvalho are all getting ready to bring their A-4s to the boat. They should all earn their Wings soon.

Russ and Rich McCormack, James Boswell, Paul Cannon and C. J. Brady are in the middle of the A-4 program down here.

Wade Reinthaler, Scott Anderson, and I went to the boat in July and qualified. Hopefully we will be Winged by the tirae you read this. Anyway, while out in Jax I ran into Mike Wallace, Lisa Kirkpatrick, and Brad Blackwelder. All appear to be doing well.

Wade had to shut down on the ship and when he went below he ran into Everette Rochon. I'ra not sure what Everette is doing but whatever it is he's doing it on KENNEDY. If I ran into you at Jacksonville and did not mention it here I'm sorry. Chances are, if 1 was celebrating a qualification when I talked to you, I don't remember it too well. Moving on . . .

Spencer Crispell has reported to the RAG in Norfolk and his wife Pam (Nolton), who is here in Kingsville, will soon join him there. Kara (Flatley) Brophy is the supply officer in Kingsville. Her husband Rich '91 is doing the jet thing down here. John Carriglitto and Daron Fullwood, where are you?

I know this article is way aviation heavy but these are the only folks I see. If you want to see more of you and your's in print then swamp Zig with letters. If I have any info wrong, then sorry!

Now onto some Class business. First I want to thank everyone who has donated money to the Alumni Association on the latest fund drive. This past fiscal year we donated $689.00 to the Class Restricted Fund, $1220.00 to the Alumni Assn. and $525.00 to other miscellaneous projects. Other than flowers for Andy Morrell's funeral, the Class has not spent a nickel. A quick note about donations; If you want your money to go for the Class project then you must say "Class Restricted Fund" on your check. If you do not, then we as a Class do not get the money.

What is the Class project? I don't know . . . yet.

There are several possibilities in the works. Before anything is done we will vote for one of few things that the Academy, the Alumni Assn., and us all agree need to be done. The price tag could be anywhere frora $10,000 to $30,000 when it is all said and done.

You will get a letter soraetime this Fall asking you to vote for one project or another, or none at all, and whatever project has the most votes wins. Whatever the project ends up being I would like to have it corapleted in time for the 5 year reunion. Please donate generously.

Our Class of '90 reunion is now only two years off.

We need to start thinking about what we want to do.

If anyone is stationed in the Annapolis area now or anticipating going in that direction in the next year or so please give me a call at 512 595-1348.

Well, that's all I've got for now. Take Care. Bob

The annual North Texas Service Academies Alumni Softball Toumament (say that three times fast) was held on 30 July. Rick Miller "68 hosted the event at NAS Dallas. Dan Weaver '72 put together a roster that would have made Coach Duff proud. The first game pitted Navy against Air Force in 100 degree heat. Navy jumped out in front with five runs in the first inning and coasted to a 12 to 8 victory. In the second game. Air Force and Array battled back and forth, but Army scored twice in the bottom of the seventh to win 11 to 10. The championship game was played in slightly cooler weather but Navy's bats heated up. Navy took home the winner's trophy (for the first time in thirteen years) by beating Array 18 to 2! Navy's lineup included: Dick Cecil '64, Rick Miller '68, Dan Weaver '72, Wiley Voorhees '73, Greg Stachelczy '74, Bill Garrett '75, Phil Bensit '78, Edward Powell '83, Randy Pierce '84, Rob Olsen '84, Mark Stevens '85, and Scott Ordich '86.

We desperately need your help. Ken Smith '72 has stepped down after many years of service as Chapter Secretary. The secretary's primary duty is to publish the monthly newsletter. If you would be willing to serve, please call us or let us know at the meeting.

Come on out and bring a fellow Alumnus with you.

Until next tirae.

PITTSBURGH William E. Otto 4105 Tartan Court Murraysville, Pa. On 18 July 1993, Navy prevailed over Army in the 1993 Pittsburgh Array Navy Inter-service Competition (PANIC). This family picnic featured interservice competition in Softball, volleyball and horseshoes. Navy prevailed by shutting-out the Cadets in Softball and winning a squeaker in horseshoes.

In Softball, Gayle "Stretch" Thompson '61 played first, while Bill "Good Hands" Rauscher '86 held down the hot corner at third. Ed "Lean & Mean" Renda '84 played second base while Bill "Backstop" Otto '71 took short stop. Outfielders were Tim "One More Base" Carey '83, Bob "Bad Back" Bowden '68, who put out a number of hitters onflyballs, Ron Machens '63, and Tom Shumaker '86 (on a sumraer sabbatical from law school). Jay Fal provided outstanding fielding and hitting support substituting for his father, Jim "Grenade Shield" Fal '68. Jim sacrificed his body once too often diving for spectacular plays in a meaningless exhibition game. Coach Jeff "Bear" Davis '44, after thoroughly preparing his team, took a hands-off coaching approach. The final score was 5-0, Navy.

After a too-brief respite. Army and Navy met on the sand volleyball court. The teams were evenly matched in the eariy part of the first garae until Jay Fal (still subbing for his poor, ailing father) took administrative leave. At that point, undermanned Navy put up a valiant fight. Joe "Keep it in the Brown 124

Smff Mazza '68 joined Renda, Thompson, Otto, and Machens. Despite close scores in the best two of three series, Army prevailed and the competition broke for dinner.

With the daylight (and the players) waning. Navy took the field for horseshoes. Never before has the game of horseshoes so closely resembled a contact sport. With a team of Mazza, Thorapson, Machens, Shumaker and Otto in an unconventional format, Array led with a two point advantage late in the competition, with Army throwing first. The cause looked lost when the Army thrower scored a three point ringer. Amazing all, including himself, Tom "Clutch" Shumaker also scored a ringer, nullifying Array's apparent win. On the following throws. Army could not score, and Ron "Bring 'Era Horae" Machens sealed Array's fate.

Thus Navy was victorious in thefirstPANIC. In an attempt to retrieve some of its pride, the Army team suggested bonus points be given to the team with the highest number of surviving participants Monday moming. Navy vetoed, claiming that they had played so hard there might not be any Navy players alive the following day.

The Pittsburgh Chapter meets regularly at the Engineer's Club in downtown Pittsburgh on the second Thursday of every month. All hands are welcome.

Call Bill Otto for directions and reservations.

SAN DIEGO/CORONADO Mike Midgley 13295 Kibbings Rd. San Diego, Calif. 92130 (619) 792-9196 The Chapter was honored to have RAdm. S. F. Gallo, Deputy Chief of Naval Personnel, speak at our July luncheon. RAdm. Gallo talked about the drawdown in the Navy and its effect on both active duty and Reserve personnel. In his brief, he touched upon such topics as early retirement and current officer and enlisted retention. As many might expect, a result of this drawdown will be significant numbers of Alumni getting out sooner than they might have anticipated.

It will now be even more of a priority to help our fellow Alurrmi by getting involved in the national and local chapter job networking programs designed to make this difficult transition for many officers easier.

LOOKING FORWARD . . . The local chapter will be sponsoring a San Diego Padres baseball game and Tailgater on 11 Septeraber 1993 starting at 1630 (game at 1905). We have secured some great seats and are looking forward to having as many Alumni as possible attend. Don't let the Padre's performance discourage you. We will create our own fun and excitement, even if we have to stay in the parking lot during the game!! The cost is $13 per person and includes the ticket and all food, beer, and sodas. Get your reservations into Mike Midgley at 619-792-9196 as soon as possible.

NEW MEMBERS . . . We have gained over 100 new meraberships in the last two raonths and they keep growing! If you are interested in becoraing a member please call Roger Ramsey, at 692-0121, for membership inforraation. He can also be contacted by phone for luncheon reservations to pay at the door.

ST. LOUIS Chris Craig 6 Garrettsen Dr. Belleville, Illinois 62223 As the Summer of 1993 comes to a close, it can be said to be a successful one for the St. Louis Chapter as we grow stronger in membership and have had some really great activities. Golf outings started last Shipmate, October 1993

year continue at The Players Club in St. Louis. The four man scramble format was so successful, thanks to Jim Checkett '64, Dick Padberg '54, and Ken Leach '81, that another has been scheduled in September In June we also inaugurated a wild night of Krazy Bowling at the Magdalen Bowling Lanes that was such a good time and pure fun that it may become an annual event. July gave us more than plentiful rains and much unneeded flooding in some areas, but our annual float trip with optional overnight camping proved memorable for those who endured the ride at Bass' River Resort near Steelville. Our annual summer picnic was held in August at Bob '71 and Lynn Pearce's lovely home. Many special thanks to Bob and Lynn for all their wonderful efforts to make things comfortable on an especially hot dogday of summer.

U. S. Naval Academy Grandfather Clock

W

e take great pride in offering the United States Naval Academy Grandfather Clock. This beautifully designed commemorative clock symbolizes the image of excellence, tradition, and history we have established at the United States Naval Academy.

Recognized the world over for expert craftsmanship, the master clockmakers of Ridgeway have created this extraordinary clock..

Special attention is given to the brass lyre pendulum which depicts the Academy Seal in deeply etched bas relief; a striking enhancement to an already magnificent clock. Indeed, the clock makes a classic statement of quality about the owner.

Each cabinet is handmade of the finest hardwoods and veneers in a process that requires over 700 separate steps and the towering clock measures an imposing 83"H x 23"W x 13"D. Finished in brilliant Windsor Cherry, the clock is also enriched with one of the most advanced West German timing mechanisms. Exceptionally accurate, such movements are found only in the world's finest clocks.

Enchanting Westminster chimes peal every quarter hour and gong on the hour.

If you prefer, the clock will operate in a silent mode with equal accuracy.

Beveled glass in the locking pendulum door and the glass dial door and sides add to the clock's timeless and handsome design.

You are invited to take advantage of a convenient monthly payment plan with no downpayment or finance charges.

Reservations may be placed by using the order form. Credit card orders may be placed by dialing toll free 1-800-346-2884. The original issue price is $899.00. Include $82.00 for insured shipping and freight charges.

Satisfaction is guaranteed or you may retum your clock within fifteen days for exchange or refund. Whether selected for your personal use or as an expressive, distinctive gift, the United States Naval Academy Grandfather Clock is certain to become an heirloom, cherished for generations.
