INSPIRATION and INNOVATION A MUSEUM’S VISION INTREPID SEA, AIR & SPACE MUSEUM HIGHLIGHTS REPORT MAY 1, 2015 – DECEMBER 31, 2016
MESSAGE FROM
THE PRESIDENT At the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, we feel a profound obligation—both duty and privilege—to inspire the next generation of thinkers, leaders and innovators. When Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher founded the Museum 35 years ago, they understood the potential for this proud warrior to galvanize young minds and hearts with equal force. Their vision is manifest every day, on every deck, in countless moments: in the joyful expressions of the young STEM stars graduating from GOALS (Greater Opportunities Advancing Leadership and Science) for Girls; in the fierce determination of children with autism experiencing a maker camp designed for their needs; and in the wide-eyed reaction of Canadian students on a virtual tour. Such moments are anything but fleeting. Those of us who devote so much of our time to the Museum do so in large part because we understand the staying power of the connections forged within its hull. Consider Audrey Lee, a GOALS for Girls graduate. Since completing the program, Audrey has returned to the Museum for the past four summers to fill many roles: intern, mentor and educator. And she keeps her shipboard lessons top of mind in all of her endeavors: When she’s not investigating novel solutions to gastrointestinal disorders as an Egleston Scholar at Columbia University’s Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, Audrey is participating in 1000 Girls, 1000 Futures, a mentoring program led by the New York Academy of Sciences Global STEM Alliance. We couldn’t have been prouder when she recently spoke about her experiences at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting, hosted right here on Intrepid. We are as focused on previous generations as we are on these bright young minds. We take pride in our work with seniors with dementia, who engage in programs that spark conversation and reflection. We are honored to provide veterans of our country’s armed services with creative workshops that help them process combat wounds that don’t necessarily leave physical scars. This unusual alchemy—reverence for the past, focus on the future—makes the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum a unique cultural and educational institution. None of this, of course, would be possible without the contributions of our generous benefactors. Your commitment—coupled with the efforts of our innovative and tireless staff—is what enables us to impart this inspiration and realize the vision of our founders.

COMING IN FOR A LANDING:
Northrop T-38 Talon After years of checking the General Service Administration’s online auctions, Curator of Aviation Eric Boehm finally spotted it: a Northrop T-38 Talon—and not just any Talon. Number 913 was one of four chase planes that flew alongside NASA’s space shuttle Enterprise in 1977 during the Approach and Landing Tests. These tests proved to Congress and the American public that shuttles could do what they were designed to do: land safely. Finding this piece of the space shuttle program’s history was a coup for the Museum. Number 913 was missing its engines, cockpit and the leading edges of its wings, but thanks to a $35,000 contribution from Museum trustee Charles de Gunzburg, the Museum’s restoration team brought the Talon back to its original appearance. It is now displayed on the flight deck, reunited with its orbiter.
5 INSPIRATION AND INNOVATION
"When I retired after 40 years as a CPA, I wanted to do something completely different. I found it volunteering at the Museum. The arrival of the Talon, the first acquisition in my tenure here, was tremendously exciting for me. I was struck by the contrast between the massive gray carrier and the sleek white chase plane. I tried to capture that contrast and the emotion of the day in this photo." –Thomas Fisher, Museum Volunteer

Old Spaces, New Stories TWO RECENT EXHIBITIONS REVEAL EVEN MORE ABOUT THE SHIP AND THE EXPERIENCE OF SERVICE.
After stepping through the tight doorway, the first thing many visitors encounter is a voice: “We were under attack for about a half an hour. Finally, the skipper got us into the clouds, and at that point the guy above me came down on top of me, so I had to go down to avoid him.” This is the squadron ready room. Rows of military-style lounge chairs face a wooden pedestal with a clipboard and an aircraft instrumentation packet. Helmets and other gear hang on the walls. The room of inanimate objects comes to life as the voice of World War II pilot Ben St. John continues: “In the meantime guys had been back about a half an hour and were trying to figure out what happened to me. They were sitting in the ready room and heard me land. No question about it—a big old airplane coming down on the deck.”

The idea is to get people’s voices heard. We learn things talking to crew members that we could never know otherwise.
Before the Museum closed for renovation in 2006, the focal point of the Museum had been the traditional exhibitions on the hangar deck. During the refurbishment, the curators were intent on showcasing the newly restored spaces where the ship’s 3,000 crew members lived and worked. “We wanted to tell the story of the crew as a community of people who came together to operate this aircraft carrier,” says Williams. “But we wanted to highlight that experience in their own words.”
This exhibit reflects a 360-degree approach to storytelling and the Museum’s ongoing quest to provide deeper understanding of Intrepid. It also reaffirms the Museum’s commitment —Jessica Williams, Curator of to two precious resources: the ship and those As they developed City at Sea, curators History and Collections who served on it. This commitment fuels two knew that firsthand recollections would be of the Museum’s latest exhibitions, City at Sea: invaluable material.

As visitors weave through the deck, they hear audio accounts of radarmen and high-level officers.
Focus on Firsthand Accounts Some crew members manned Intrepid during its three tours of duty in Vietnam. On the Line: Intrepid and the Vietnam War, which opened in October 2015 to mark the 40th anniversary of the end of the conflict, explores this era of the ship’s service in depth. The exhibition again marries the ship’s spaces and the memories of its crew to paint a richer picture.

32 INDEPTH INTERVIEWS in 2016
135 ORAL HISTORIES PRESERVED TO DATE
“We talked a lot about what the exhibition should do,” says Williams. “We didn’t want to tell the entire story of the Vietnam War because that’s not our story. Instead, we focused on what it meant to be an aircraft carrier during that period and touched on some bigger-picture questions.” The exhibition begins with a scene-setting overview of why the United States entered the war. It quickly zooms in to explore various aspects of the bombing missions flown by the ship’s pilots over North and South Vietnam. “The days were long, hot and very stressful,” Williams says. Missing in action, prisoners of war, antiwar protests— each get a fair look in the exhibition. Intrepid pilot Lt. Wilson Denver “Denny” Key was shot down in 1967

and imprisoned until 1973. A case displays his prison uniform, and next to it a kiosk plays a recording of Key telling his story. He describes the food he ate in captivity, the torture he suffered and his safe homecoming. Among the artifacts in the exhibition is a diary shared by four junior pilots who lived together in a stateroom they nicknamed “Triple Stix” (its compartment number was 0111). The roommates wrote about shaving their mustaches and hosting parties, and they thought about how the residents of their bomb-scarred target area could “stand the perennial harassment.” The exhibition includes snippets of oral histories from three of the pilots as well.
Stories Continue The gathering of voices remains a Museum priority—City at Sea and On the Line clearly demonstrate their value. A $50,000 donation from trustee James L. Nederlander has enabled staff to
travel where the stories are. Last year, members of Williams’s team flew to Texas to interview a World War II pilot and his wife and to South Carolina to conduct a marathon of interviews during a reunion of Growler crew members. Those recordings and others collected will be featured in a new permanent exhibition—opening in 2018—devoted to the submarine.
City at Sea: USS Intrepid has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Celebrating 50 Years of Excellence. On the Line: Intrepid and the Vietnam War was generously supported by Travis Patton and Jeff Seese, the Litwin Foundation, the Rose M. Badgeley Residuary Charitable Trust, the Ambrose Monell Foundation, the May and Samuel Rudin Foundation and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

Epic Sounds A UNIQUE PERFORMANCE PROVIDES A FITTING OVERTURE FOR THE MUSEUM’S EXHIBITION ON THE VIETNAM WAR. Strings, gongs, the clatter of metal and glass—these are some of the sounds featured in George Crumb’s iconic Black Angels: Thirteen Images from the Dark Land, a composition inspired by the Vietnam War. On an October night, the world-renowned Kronos Quartet performed the piece on Intrepid’s hangar deck, and this time the creaking of the swaying ship added a haunting new element to the arrangement. The aircraft carrier—which did three tours of duty in Vietnam— was an ideal setting for a piece written in response to the war. Violinist David Harrington founded his boundary-breaking quartet after hearing the avant-garde Black Angels on the radio in 1973.
11 INSPIRATION AND INNOVATION
“I’ve been waiting 40 years for this,” Harrington told the audience. The performance served to enhance the Museum’s exhibition On the Line: Intrepid and the Vietnam War, a site-specific exploration of the war through the lens of the ship’s history. Following the 40-minute piece, WNYC radio host John Schaefer facilitated a discussion among members of the quartet and Steven Bruns, a George Crumb scholar. They discussed art’s unique ability to reflect on history, and Bruns presented items from his massive archive of Crumb artifacts, including a decades-old letter written by Harrington to the composer, thanking him for writing Black Angels.

Former Crew Member Highlight: Aaron Reznick Former marine Aaron Reznick served on Intrepid in 1960 as an aircraft mechanic/avionics technician and nuclear weapons technician. His next tour of duty on the carrier was decades later, after he completed a full career on dry land as an information technology specialist. In retirement, he reupped with Intrepid, volunteering there as an exhibit explainer. Before long, he was doing what he knew best: helping the IT team get the Museum’s infrastructure back online after Superstorm Sandy. These days, he gives a minimum of two days a week to the department, mentoring junior staffers, acting as continuity manager, and developing training programs and guides that will help others cope with a host of usual technology issues. Aaron oversaw the installation of the wireless network that allowed the Museum to expand its virtual tour offerings. He was also involved in installing new technologies for the exhibition Drones: Is the Sky the Limit? And because a volunteer’s work is never done, he supports the technology needs of the ship’s former crew members association. When he does find himself with some free time, Aaron visits the flight and hangar decks, wearing a lanyard with a photo of his younger uniformed self from 1960. When visitors approach, he’s happy to explain what it felt like to help launch aircraft. “The Museum brings an important perspective to people,” says Aaron. “The past is important and directs the future.”

13 INSPIRATION AND INNOVATION
A Fixed-Up Fixer-Upper THE MUSEUM’S NEW AIRCRAFT RESTORATION HANGAR OFFERS THE COLLECTION, AND THOSE WHO CARE FOR IT, SHELTER FROM THE STORM.
Last December, a record-breaking rainfall battered Intrepid’s flight deck. A deluge like that could have been a major impediment to work for the aircraft restoration team. But inside the gleaming Aircraft Restoration Hangar, all was warm and dry, and paint removal from the A-1 Skyraider continued without pause. The 5,000-square-foot structural steel building, located at the far end of the flight deck, is a significant upgrade from the tent that had housed the operation for the past 10 years. The Aircraft Restoration Hangar was a longtime dream of Curator of Aviation Eric Boehm and Museum management, who saw the facility as crucial to the care of the aircraft collection. The upgrade has already reaped dividends, allowing the team to start essential restoration work on the Skyraider in the middle of winter. The Museum has 24 planes on display outdoors. Keeping them in fighting shape requires constant vigilance. Rain and snow shower them with damaging pollutants that accelerate the natural deterioration process. Defending the fleet against these ravages is a small, dedicated staff and an indispensable group of volunteers, all of whom are trained to identify damaging corrosion and make necessary repairs to preserve the aircraft. Many of them also engineer replacements for missing or damaged parts. Doing such hands-on work under a tent presented several challenges. Foremost was exposure to the elements. Moisture coated the planes and tools and made it difficult to accomplish tasks. The new, more protected facility provides greater comfort for staff and allows them to use an assortment of tools that maintain a cleaner and safer environment. For starters, the paint-removal sanders are now attached to vacuums that collect environmentally harmful particles.
“This upgrade not only improves accessibility to the planes and safeguards them from the elements as we work—it’s also healthier for our team and keeps the atmosphere clean,” says Manager of Restoration Peter Torraca. Once funding is secured for phase two of construction, the Museum will add a second-floor classroom overlooking the restoration floor, opening up new opportunities for education programs. “The thousands of kids we bring through here will be able to see what our team is doing and get a firsthand look at the intersection of history and art,” Susan MarenoffZausner told guests at the hangar’s unveiling last December. In the meantime, visitors can watch the restoration work through ground-floor windows. Guides will bring tour groups inside, and the restoration team will answer Diagram of A-1 Skyraider questions. Museum visitors will witness the transformation of the Skyraider, which for years resided on a grass field at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia. It needs a fair amount of refurbishment—two new wing tips, a coat of paint and other preservation work inside and out—before it returns to the flight deck. There, visitors will learn about the Skyraider's connection to its current home. During the Vietnam War, a Skyraider flying from Intrepid shot down a powerful MiG-17 jet fighter—an impressive feat for a piston-engine plane designed during World War II. Restored to its former glory, the Museum’s Skyraider will exemplify the resilience and perseverance that so defined its history. The project is made possible in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs with the support of the City Council and the Office of the Mayor.

Growing Wings behind Bars
Incarcerated teens who study at East River Academy, the alternative high school on Rikers Island, can’t visit the ship, so the Museum comes to them. Through a partnership with the New York City Department of Correction (DOC), the Museum offers a five-session program called Math in Motion that teaches students computing and design principles. Students who finish the course receive a certificate of completion, which they can present to a judge to show they are learning new skills and exploring new opportunities.
Students engage in a virtual meeting with their mentors from Parque Explora in Medellín, Colombia.
The program culminated with final presentations by the students, who shared their innovative solutions with members of their community. In preparation, Museum educators coached students on public speaking and interviewing techniques.
“Kids who had never left their neighborhood experienced a new culture,” says Tom Barry, the Museum’s senior manager of community engagement. “This was the first time the Museum undertook an international exchange project. It really fit with our strategic plan to ‘go beyond the steel.’”
This year, educator Megan Bednarz adapted the program to better suit life on Rikers Island. Math in Motion began in 2015 as an after-

school program, which meant that participating students often missed dinner. Bednarz provided snacks until she could reorient the schedule to fit the prison’s regular school hours. Appreciating that their needs were being considered, students began signing up in greater numbers. Those who do learn 3D design and modeling principles using diagrams of the Museum’s aircraft. After studying existing prints, they diagram top and side views of new designs on paper before translating them into a 3D rendering program. Bednarz brings the files back to the Museum, where she prints out the models. Students can see their work, but DOC restrictions don’t permit them to keep it, so students designate a friend or family member to receive their creation in the mail.

When the program works best, deeper lessons are gained as well. “I learned how not to give up,” wrote one former student. “I learned how to learn something new, and how to go for great.”

as the first step on a career ladder that will bring diverse talent into STEM fields, museums and cultural institutions,” says Lynda Kennedy, vice president of education and evaluation. “It also helps us welcome a wider audience and connect them with history and science. When families visit and their kids see a science demonstration by a near-peer who looks like them, it sets a precedent.”
The Museum’s training extends beyond teens. It also teaches educators how to take advantage of the Museum’s resources—its exhibits, oral histories, primary sources and collection of artifacts. The institution is approved by the New York City Department of Education to offer educators p-credit courses and other professional development necessary to keep up their credentials. In 2016, the Museum taught more than 400 in-class and after-school teachers how to bring science and history to life in the classroom. Professional development opportunities included a summer institute exploring the —Lynda Kennedy, Vietnam War from the perspective Vice President of Education and Evaluation of those who served on the ship—an outgrowth of the exhibition On the Line: Intrepid and the Vietnam War.
When families visit and their kids see a science demonstration by a near-peer who looks like them, it sets a precedent.
The Museum consciously reaches out to underserved audiences. The underrepresentation of women and minorities in STEM fields is often attributed to the lack of a “pipeline”—relevant opportunities along the learning path that build interest and experience. The Museum has pursued this pipeline problem for years, and its initiatives are starting to bear fruit.
Audrey Lee is an alumna of the Museum’s GOALS for Girls (Greater Opportunities Advancing Leadership and Science), a STEM education program for rising ninth and tenth grade girls. After completing GOALS, she became a paid intern at the Museum and a mentee at the New York Academy of Sciences. Last year, she took just enough time away from her freshman course load at Columbia University’s Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science to speak at the Clinton Global Initiative. GOALS for Girls, now 10 years old, is just one part of the pipeline. The Museum provides ongoing programming and mentorship for alumnae. The Youth Leadership Institute @ Intrepid (YLI), a co-ed program, offers 30 high school juniors experiences focused on leadership, self-efficacy, and college and career readiness. After GOALS and YLI, students are invited to apply for a paid internship with the Education Department. The internship opens up the next step in the pipeline—paid junior educator positions in the Museum’s Education Department. These Intrepid Teens provide public demonstrations on weekends and during school breaks, lead public activities on the pier, assist at summer camps and learn to work with special needs audiences. “We see these positions

Out of This World In 2015, the Museum hosted I2S2C—the Intrepid International Space Station Challenge. Student teams designed and proposed experiments, and one winning experiment was sent to the International Space Station, to be conducted in microgravity. In 2016, astronauts performed research with chrysanthemum seeds for the students at P.S./I.S. 30 in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Preliminary results indicate that the seeds germinate at approximately the same rate in microgravity as on terra firma. The findings align with what the Museum’s educators already know: there is an opportunity to learn and thrive anywhere, from sea to outer space.

All Aboard THE ALL ACCESS MAKER CAMP GIVES KIDS WITH DISABILITIES A HANDS-ON LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
Children with disabilities have few choices for camps, let alone affordable ones. There is a shortage of targeted programs and qualified staff to lead them. The Museum offers a safe, low-cost opportunity for students with developmental disabilities to learn and play. Three separate weeklong sessions of the All Access Maker Camp convene during the New York City public school spring and summer breaks. Students ages 8–14 explore aircraft, see the space shuttle, assemble model boats from foil and clay and design their own 3D-printed technological marvels. The camps, offered for the first time in 2016, are an outgrowth of the Museum’s other inclusive initiatives. For example, the Museum

hosts Early Morning Openings specifically for those with sensory sensitivities. “We wanted these children to have a deeper experience at the Museum,” says Lynda Kennedy, vice president of education and evaluation. Feedback from parents indicated that there was a great need for day camp options. Like the Museum’s other camps, the All Access Maker Camp helps children build critical problem-solving skills and pursue scientific inquiry. Trained educators and other support staff—including teenagers specially trained to work with children with disabilities— focus on what campers can accomplish, rather than their limitations. The curriculum goes beyond rote STEM teaching. Campers don’t just learn how electrical currents work but also how to use

that knowledge to address real-world problems. By concentrating on the historical context behind the creation of Cold War stealth technologies or the aircraft carrier Intrepid, for example, the camp empowers atypical learners to see themselves as problem-solvers for a new century of engineering challenges. The programs incorporate accessibility supports like daily checklists and visual instructions. And as the campers are guided through designing electronic machines or restoring real aircraft with professional-grade tools, they are offered ample sensory breaks, one-on-one check-ins and the occasional steam-releasing impromptu dance party. Every session focuses as much on honing social skills as engineering skills. Campers are encouraged to interact with each other and with campers from the Museum’s traditional camps. For parents, the week reveals different sides of their children. “The program brought out my son’s creative, scientific curiosity about things,” one parent remarked. Another noted how her son was uncharacteristically eager to impart what he had 3D BOATS PRINTED learned: “He used words EACH UNIQUELY DESIGNED BY like ‘propeller’ and showed AN ALL ACCESS MAKER CAMPER us how it worked. We had never had a conversation like that before.” After an end-of-camp showcase spotlighting campers’ engineering feats, families took home a package of resources that would allow them to work on similar projects, designed to keep the interest—and the conversation—going.

But the camps leave a lasting impression on their own. Several parents noticed a boost in self-confidence and social engagement. “He doesn’t usually get to do new things that we don’t already know about,” a parent wrote in a thank-you note. Another parent saw her child display more caring behavior toward her friends. And one boy held on to the experience in a different way: he insisted on sleeping in his camp shirt.

The Museum Musters the Troops A NEW THREE-PRONGED INITIATIVE CREATES A HOME BASE FOR LOCAL VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
On a crisp Sunday afternoon, former astronaut Karol “Bo” Bobko heads up a mission: a tour of the ship’s spaces. His guests are no strangers to the surroundings. They are military veterans, joined by their families, and they are visiting under the auspices of a new Museum initiative that seeks to foster community among current and former service members in the tristate area. Intrepid is a floating symbol of U.S. military history for those in the New York region. The Museum’s exhibits, events and ceremonies honor that history, and now it offers programs specifically for the men and women who made that history. The programs are a response to a dearth of similarly directed services. Although New York City is home to nearly 250,000 veterans and the Fort Hamilton army base, many former service members admit to feelings of isolation. As one veteran explained on a recent visit to the Museum, “My family is basically on an island. We don’t know many military families.”
While Military Family Programs give veterans a chance to share experiences with their families, Intrepid After Hours is designed to help veterans explore their memories and feelings in a more intimate and inward way. During private tours, art programs, writing workshops and catered dinners, service men and women are encouraged to express themselves. After an acting class with the theater company Bedlam, one veteran noted that the program “exceeded all my expectations.” He asked about joining Bedlam himself.

The Museum recognized the need for community-building opportunities, and given its longstanding relationships with veterans associations, it was in a unique position to create them. The Veterans Access Initiative officially launched last year. The threepronged effort includes Military Family Programs, Intrepid After Hours and Vet Video Chats. The tour with Bobko was part of a Military Family Program. Each three-hour event includes kid-friendly activities, a guided tour and—maybe most importantly—time for participants to connect with other veterans and their own families. Participants have learned how planes fly and how to maintain a 42,000-ton ship. But not all

the teaching comes from the Museum itself. As one parent wrote, “It allowed me to share my deployed experiences with my kids in a way that they wouldn’t understand with words alone.” In a survey of those who have taken advantage of the program, all said they looked forward to doing it again.
The third part of the Veterans Access Initiative debuts this year. Vet Video Chats, which offer online tours and remotely accessed programs, bring the same community-building opportunities to veterans who are unable to leave their homes or hospital beds.
To maximize the potential of these programs, every member of the Museum who contributes to them has been trained by the NYU Langone Military Family Clinic on post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. And to ensure the programs are useful and accessible to all, the Museum has collaborated with relevant local and national organizations, including the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the United War Veterans Council, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America and the CUNY Office of Veterans Affairs.

16 EVENTS FOR VETERANS HOSTED BY THE MUSEUM IN 2016
Transitioning from military to civilian life is a challenge, and the Veterans Access Initiative will evolve to meet the unique needs of more veterans. Next year, it will expand to include programming for veterans experiencing homelessness, designed in collaboration with the Department of Homeless Services. The Museum’s programs for veterans are generously supported by Broadridge Financial Services, Brown & Brown Insurance, CBRE, Clune Construction Company, Colliers International, Cushman & Wakefield, eBay, Stanley and Karen Hubbard, Jones Lang LaSalle, Bruce and Wendy Mosler, Professional Physical Therapy, Thomson Reuters, Sidley Austin LLP, Structure Tone, Turner Construction Company, and David and Rosemary Turner. Programs are supported in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
ALL IN The Veterans Access Initiative was made possible by a team of fundraisers who turned the Museum’s Michael Tyler Fisher Center for Education into a two-floor casino for one night. Bets for Vets, a fundraising event spearheaded by Helen Turner, daughter of trustee David Turner, generated more than $190,000. “I’ve seen videos of how the programs affect veterans,” said Ms. Turner. “It’s wonderful to be able to help the people who have given up almost everything to defend this nation.”

INTREPID SEA, AIR & SPACE MUSEUM 22
New Arrivals THE MUSEUM ADDED 3,245 ARTIFACTS TO ITS COLLECTION THIS YEAR. HERE ARE A FEW HIGHLIGHTS:
Japanese kamikaze planes targeted Intrepid five times during World War II. Crew members kept pieces of the wreckage as mementos. This fragment is from an attack on November 25, 1944. It was donated by the family of Norman Nunn, an aviation ordnanceman. Collection of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. Gift of the Nunn family. 2016.83.01
This Navy Survival, Escape and Evasion Kit (SEEK-2) belonged to Gregory Harris, a pilot on board Intrepid in the early 1970s. The SEEK-2, which attached to a pilot’s flotation vest, included antiseptic ointment, antidiarrheal tablets, salt pills, liquid soap and other necessary gear. Collection of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. 2016.38.05a-w
The Museum has a trove of World War II–era images of Intrepid, but this is one of the only ones shot in color. This slide is part of a collection donated by former crew member Jere Austin. His slides also include images taken in Japan after the surrender. Collection of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. Gift of Jere Austin. P2016.10.20
Photographer’s mates documented life and work aboard the ship. The work of Robert Salmanowitz captured the days of the ship’s service in the Mediterranean in 1955 and 1956. The donation, a gift of Salmanowitz’s family, includes this scrapbook (complete with labels). Collection of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. Gift of the family of Robert Salmanowitz Sr. 2016.43.01a-b
These cuff links, bearing the insignia of the submarine Growler, were donated by Allen Odette, who served on the vessel from 1961 to 1963. Odette’s donation will be featured in a new permanent exhibition dedicated to Growler, set to open in the summer of 2018. Collection of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. 2016.71.03a-b 23 INSPIRATION AND INNOVATION
Donor Highlight: Bruce and Kathryn Beal When Bruce and Kathryn Beal first moved to New York City, they couldn’t help but notice the massive ship docked by the West Side Highway. Nearly 20 years later, they are among its most ardent patrons. Each of them had a grandfather who served—Alexander Beal, a Navy captain, fought in the Pacific and was wounded in a kamikaze attack, and Ray Fauss trained as a B-17 pilot. "We have great admiration for our military. We believe it's important to understand its history and the role it has played in the success of our country. The Museum helps people do that, and it encourages respect for those who serve and for the engineering and strategic advances that help them protect us.”
Photography by 4 Eyes Photography
The Museum does all those things a little better now that the Beals’ five-year, $500,000 gift is reaching its conclusion. Of all the programs their generous donation supports, the STEM education initiatives are closest to Kathryn’s heart. “Programs like GOALS for Girls give young women the confidence to go forward and understand what opportunities are available in science and engineering,” says Kathryn, a Memorial Sloan Kettering radiation oncologist. “Growing up, I was told I could do anything, so I never thought about careers or academic tracks in terms of male versus female. Encouraging women to have a greater presence in engineering, science and medicine will only strengthen those fields.” A few years back, the Museum sent the Beals on a unique overnight cruise—on one of the Navy's amphibious assault ships as it traveled to New York City for Fleet Week. The pair flew on a Black Hawk helicopter, slept in officers’ quarters and spent time with those serving on board. “What most impressed us was how orderly it was—the engineering, mechanical and logistical aspects of the ship—and the great respect people had for each other.” Of course, it’s the Museum’s day-to-day programming and exhibitions that she wants her fellow New Yorkers to experience. She knows that once passersby heed Intrepid's siren call, they will be hooked in the same way she was.
Volunteer Highlight: Peggy Donovan If it’s Monday, then you’ll find Peggy Donovan standing by the Museum’s main entrance, greeting visitors and answering questions. She wants everyone to love the Museum as deeply as she does, so she’s also likely to be offering tips on the best way to experience the ship and its exhibits.

After retiring from the corporate world, Peggy sought out volunteer work. “I was told the Intrepid Museum is a great place for volunteers,” she says. “Five years later, I’m still here.” And her involvement has only deepened—Peggy is also a member of the Anchor Society, a community of supporters who play a significant role in sustaining the Museum's programs and collection of historical artifacts. For Peggy, what makes the Museum stand out is the way employees—the president included—treat visitors and volunteers alike. She cites the communal excitement that erupts when former crew members—or even their families—come aboard.
Peggy is also impressed with the way the Museum fosters interest in math and science, particularly among teenage girls. A self-proclaimed nerd, she describes feeling pressured to hide her interests in STEM at the single-sex high school she attended. “I love Kids Week and Girls in Science and Engineering Day. It’s wonderful to see teenagers—especially teenage girls—have fun while engaging in science." THE INTREPID SEA, AIR & SPACE MUSEUM 24
A May Soirée The annual Salute to Freedom gala celebrates innovation and inspiration— and the leaders who champion these values alongside the Museum. Recent honorees included Vice President Joe Biden; Capt. Scott J. Kelly, who completed a yearlong mission on the International Space Station; and Adm. William H. McRaven, the former head of the U.S. Special Operations Command and architect of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. The recent galas also recognized two business leaders who have made significant contributions in their fields and their communities: Ursula M. Burns, who began her career as a mechanical engineering intern at Xerox and is now the company’s chief executive officer and chairman, and Scott Rechler, chairman and chief executive officer of RXR Realty. The Museum honored these leaders, pioneers and innovators alongside the ship’s former crew members and all service members, past and present. Salute to Freedom, held during Fleet Week, supports the Museum’s education programs, which reach 30,000 young people each year, and helps underwrite new exhibitions exploring history, science and service.

Creating a Buzz A LARGE EXHIBITION ABOUT SMALL FLYING MACHINES DEBUTED IN 2017
Flying Machine Design from Cirque du Soleil's Paramour © 2016, Cirque du Soleil, Photo by Richard Termine
Some of the earliest drones were launched off Intrepid’s flight deck for target practice during World War II. After the gunners took their shots, a parachute deployed so that the crew could recover the drone and use it again. These drones—essentially souped-up model airplanes—were designed by Reginald Denny, a one-time silent movie actor. (Denny’s factory produced more than drones: Marilyn Monroe was employed—and discovered—there, assembling these flying machines. A photographer taking publicity stills for the U.S. Army convinced her to become a model.)
“We want this exhibition to shed light on what will play an increasingly greater role in our lives.”
The exhibition highlights various military and civilian applications. OPEN THROUGH DECEMBER 3, 2017 Artifacts tell stories of drones that deliver blood to remote parts of Africa, chase hurricanes and coax lampshades to fly in Cirque du Soleil performances. Displayed alongside the earliest military prototypes is a recreational drone used in a racing league and a transport drone that will one day provide final-mile DIFFERENCE IN WEIGHT BETWEEN THE SMALLEST AND LARGEST DRONE delivery for Amazon.

Sample scans of ship spaces produced by SHoP Architects.
Another Dimension of Intrepid Although they are a source of much curiosity, their tight quarters make it impossible for visitors to enter Intrepid’s engine rooms. But a new grant will soon allow for “entry” into those facilities— and the ship’s other inaccessible areas. The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation awarded the Intrepid Museum $250,000 for its “Bringing History to Life” initiative, an effort to create three-dimensional scans of the entire ship. These architectural drawings will be precious tools for the Museum's innovative storytelling and will expand educational possibilities,
enabling forays into augmented and virtual reality. As part of the initiative, New York City’s visionary SHoP Architects is advising the Museum on 3D technologies. It produced the sample scan of the crew berthing and torpedo handling, shown here. Scanning is expected to be completed this year. The project is made possible in part by public funds from the Environmental Protection Fund through the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, with the support of the New York City Regional Economic Development Council.

A Meeting of the Minds
This past November, the New York City Department of Education’s Division of Family and Community Engagement (FACE) honored the Museum with a Community Partnership and Appreciation Award for its outreach to local public schools. Yolanda Torres, executive superintendent of FACE, presented the award to Lynda Kennedy, the Museum’s vice president of education and evaluation. Also pictured is Alexis Marion, vice president of institutional advancement.
The Museum welcomed more than one hundred colleagues from around the globe to the Smithsonian’s Mutual Concerns of Air and Space Museums Conference in April—the first time the biannual conference was held in New York City. The three-day event, which was co-hosted by the Cradle of Aviation, provided a professional forum on fundraising, education, archiving and exhibiting, specifically for the air and space crowd. Museum President Susan Marenoff-Zausner gave the opening address. Michael Massimino, former astronaut and senior advisor at the Museum, was the keynote speaker, and Museum staff participated in panels. INTREPID SEA, AIR & SPACE MUSEUM 29 28

Ronald Rodriguez and Gina Pacheco at the Members Open House.
Member Highlight: Ronald Rodriguez How’s this for #relationshipgoals? Your fanboy husband gets a gift membership to the Intrepid Museum that includes tickets to the opening night of Star Trek: The Starfleet Academy
Experience (which just happens to fall on his birthday). That’s what Gina Pacheco gave to Ronald Rodriguez on June 30, 2016. After meeting Mr. Sulu—none other than George Takei—at the opening, the couple of 23 years began exploring other parts of the Museum. They’ve taken all the tours and attended several member breakfasts and an open house. “They make you feel at home,” says Ronald, noting how solicitous the staff is of Gina, who uses a wheelchair. The Queens residents have enjoyed learning about the history of the ship and crew. Many of their friends and family members were in the military. Ronald actually had his heart set on becoming an aircraft pilot until poor vision put him on another career path. “You hear the stories of lives lost and the heroism, and you gain an appreciation of the sacrifices involved in our freedom,” says Ronald. “It’s always moving.”
INTREPID SEA, AIR & SPACE MUSEUM 32
Staff Highlight: Adolph Walton Adolph Walton came to the United States from Jamaica in search of a better life, and he built one working at the Intrepid Museum. In 1982, a year after his arrival, a friend told him about a parttime gig as a security guard at a new museum. With six kids and a wife to support, Adolph, who was employed by a bank during the day, happily accepted a second job working the weekend midnight shift at the Museum. The neighborhood and the Museum have changed dramatically since those early days when crime was high and there wasn’t yet a guard station. Before long, Adolph joined the team fulltime, keeping watch on the flight deck and exterior grounds. For the past five years, he has been stationed at the parking lot. Along the way, he has become something of an expert on American military history and World War II. “The Museum has become a part of me,” he says. “I am a people person, and this museum is about people—it’s a family.” Adolph was on hand during the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks— when the aircraft carrier became a makeshift headquarters for investigators—and during the worst of Superstorm Sandy. He has also seen his fair share of dignitaries, including Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump. But it’s the littlest visitors that make him happiest. “It’s a very educational center for kids. Knowing all these facts, I can really sell the Museum. I encourage the people in my [Brooklyn] neighborhood to visit,” Adolph says. “Over the years, it has come a long way, and it’s a splendid museum.”
