Allsubmittalstogether-Final Sagas, Epiphanies, and Anecdotes: Sea Stories of the Class of 1957, U.S. Naval Academy Compiled by Bill Hamel ‘57 Introduction Our Class has published, in the summer of 2007, a wonderful book of memories called The First 50 , edited by Fred Howe. We included in this book a 20-page section entitled “Class History”. Not a real history, it was intended instead to be a collection of stories gathered from our classmates and presented in our historical context. In early 2004 we put out our first call to all hands, to write up and submit stories about their experiences. As we said in our rather unspecific “Guidelines for Class History Inputs”: “So should you or any other classmate wish to submit a personal input to the class history section, presenting interesting anecdotes, adventures, comedies, epiphanies, struggles, achievements, or reactions to the one-list, such inputs are welcome and are solicited. “Basically we are asking for Interesting Stories which we can integrate into a history section which will be informative and enjoyable reading for our classmates and their families.” Your response was gratifying. You sent in many stories, varying widely in tone, nature, size, and age – some 200-odd pages of them. If you have seen The First 50 you know that the Class History section is not very extensive – our bios take up most of the book, as they must and should. Thus we had to leave a lot of stories out, and had to condense/edit many that were used. As a result we were left with a collection of priceless stories, unpublished in our book, which might go nowhere and never see the light of day. This CD is our attempt to preserve and make available all the wonderful stories you have sent in for this project, uncut and unedited. Reader Guide All the stories have been reformatted into this single PDF (Acrobat Reader) document. They are arranged in alphabetical order of the contributors’ surnames. 1 The contributors’ names, large bold-face font, precede the story or stories they contributed. The contributors’ company in the Brigade of 1957 follows his name. To find any word in this document quickly, be it a person’s name, a company, a ship, or whatever – use the Acrobat Reader “Find” function: A “Find” window appears at the top of the window. Enter the word/name/number or whatever you seek. When you have entered the target word/number/name, left-click on the menu pull down arrow next to the window in which you typed your query. Select the menu item “Find Next in Current PDF”. Voilá! You will be there. If the target word appears in the document more than once, just repeat the “Find Next in Current PDF” until you find the one you’re looking for. Alternatively, you can just browse by scrolling through the document. This CD is a read-only, so you will not be able to make any changes to this document. Of course, you can cut and paste any of it into your own document, and you can print any or this entire document on your computer’s printer. Please be aware, however, that this document and these stories are published to you, members of the Class of 1957, USNA, and your families and friends solely for your or their personal use and enjoyment. None of this should be reproduced elsewhere or for any other purpose without the written permission of the Association of the Class of 1957 of the U.S. Naval Academy, or of the individual authors. 2 And Now the Stories Gary Alkire – 9 th Company I considered myself fortunate and honored to enter the Naval Academy. Attendance there had been a goal through high school – the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. Poly provided strong foundations in the sciences, engineering, and the humanities. And, maybe more important, the school instilled study habits and discipline for daily living. Over the years there had been a special relationship between Poly and the Academy; in our time several dozen members of the Brigade were from Poly. Growing up I read everything I could find about the Navy – especially during World War II. When graduation from the Academy came near my preference was to enter the Navy Civil Engineering Corps; the Navy’s preference was Navy Line. I was pulled to engineering because of my experience at Poly combined with summer work with an engineering firm. The Air Force had a need for civil engineers because of many construction requirements generated by the Cold War… So the pull to an engineering profession overtook a call to the Navy. My professional career was greatly influenced by and seemed to involve some of the Cold War … and the sometimes not so Cold War. My first assignment after the Academy in 1957 was at Warren AFB, Wyoming. We rebuilt a historic base, dating back to the Indian Wars of the late 1800’s, to support the first operational intercontinental missile wing in the Air Force. It was great work for a lieutenant learning his way. In France, now 1963, at Toul Rosieres AB, we built the unique facilities for a new reconnaissance airplane, the RF4C, on the way to Europe. The base was one of many NATO had just finished building for Canadian, British, French, and US Air Forces in response to the Iron Curtin. The assignment to Vietnam, in 1970, was different; continuing the work begun by others to build a system of highways for the Vietnamese commerce and military movements. Moving on to England AFB, Louisiana, in 1971; the base changed aircraft twice in the two years that we were there, reflecting the turmoil of the end of the Vietnam War. A wing of new close air support aircraft replaced training of Vietnamese pilots and crew. At the Air Force headquarters in Europe in the mid 1970’s, I oversaw Air Force engineering operations in NATO countries, from Norway in the north to Turkey in the south. It was during this time that the great buildup of readiness 3 construction began, primarily facilities designed to resist bomb damage – aircraft shelters and maintenance facilities. In the early 1980’s, from a base in Ohio, we managed construction funded by foreign nations – Saudi Arabia and Egypt at the time. We built the bases in Saudi Arabia ultimately used by the Allies during the war in Iraq in the early 1990’s. Mixing these assignments with three tours in the Pentagon and several tours at major commands rounded out a busy engineering career. My final Air Force job starting in 1984 and lasting until 1989, was to lead the Air Force Commissary Service, a major grocery chain … completely different and a lot of fun … supporting military personnel and their families with US food products wherever assigned. We operated 150 stores from Korea, through the United States to Turkey. It was a very rewarding experience for both my wife and I. Most of the military programs and bases are gone now that the Cold War has been won; many of the bases closed. Through these assignments it was always clear that it was the people that make the difference. Those relationships provide lasting memories for both Ellen and I. One day our grandchildren, who we surely hope enjoy a more peaceful life, may ask about this career … what did we do … what memories linger? Ellen and I will think for a moment and tell the story of our 1989 visit to Berlin. We will tell our grandchildren of the great world war and the division of nations by the victors who could not agree on how to win the peace because of the differences of how people should be governed. And so Germany was divided between the west that believed in freedom and the east where people were wards of the state. And a wall, the Berlin Wall, was built between the people separating friends and family and ideologies. Our visit occurred by chance the week after the Berlin Wall opened in November 1989 and on that visit we clearly felt the true meaning of freedom … a concept we in this country have tended to take for granted because it is such a basic concept imbedded in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. On that trip in 1989 we heard and understood the sound of freedom in many ways. We left Frankfurt Germany one evening on the American troop train; a train that had traveled from Frankfurt, Germany to West Berlin each evening since the Wall was built. The purpose of the train … and it was one of three; the other being a British and French … was to maintain US right of entry into West Berlin. 4 But the weekend before our visit, the wall had opened and people behind the Iron Curtain were free to visit the West. For many, it was the first time in their life ... a trip for some of only a few feet, for the wall had kept families and friends separate for so many years. Our train took most of the night to travel the 100 miles or so, because we kept being placed on a side track to clear the way for trains filled with East Germans, Polish, and others traveling to the West. I don’t thing we got any sleep that night because we were busy returning the waves and cheers from those on those freedom trains to the west; each window open and full of people celebrating freedom. In West Berlin, we visited the graves of the many that had tried to swim to freedom, or hide under a truck, or dig a tunnel.

  • X-15 Manuscript
    “X-15: WINGS INTO SPACE, Flying the First Reusable Spacecraft” by Michelle Evans University of Nebraska Press, Outward Odyssey series © 2012 In the Footsteps of the X-15 The primary place associated with the X-15 is Edwards AFB, California. However, there are many other locations where you can directly see the areas the rocket planes flew and landed, where men tracked them through the upper atmosphere and beyond, to find the surviving aircraft today, and where you may pay your respects to some of the men who made the world’s first reusable spacecraft possible. This appendix provides information on disposition of the various aircraft, engines, and mockups, as well as a tour itinerary for those interested in following the footsteps of the X-15. Beside making an excellent historic multi-day field trip for a group from scout - ing or as a school project, this tour is perfect for anyone with a bit of adventure and ex - ploration in their soul. The full tour can comfortably take a week or more, depending on how much time is spent at various locations and taking in the surrounding areas. Some sections, such as Palmdale/Lancaster to Cuddeback Dry Lake, then on to the Mike Adams memorial, may be accomplished in a single day for short excursions. 1. DISPOSITION OF ARTIFACTS Three X-15s were built by North American Aviation. The plant was at the southeast cor - ner of Los Angeles International Airport, which is now the location of the airport’s cargo terminal, near the intersection of Imperial Highway and Aviation Boulevard.

The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope.

  • The Way We Were Part 1 By: Donna Ryan
    The Way We Were Part 1 By: Donna Ryan The Early Years – 1954- 1974 Early Years Overview - The idea for the Chapter actually got started in June of 1954, when a group of Convair engineers got together over coffee at the old La Mesa airport. The four were Bjorn Andreasson, Frank Hernandez, Ladislao Pazmany, and Ralph Wilcox. - The group applied for a Chapter Charter which was granted two years later, on October 5, 1956. - Frank Hernandez was Chapter President for the first seven years of the Chapter, ably assisted by Ralph Wilcox as the Vice President. Frank later served as VP as well. The first four first flights of Chapter members occurred in 1955 and 1957. They were: Lloyd Paynter – Corbin; Sam Ursham - Air Chair; Frank Hernandez - Rapier 65; and Waldo Waterman - Aerobile. - A folder in our archives described the October 15-16, 1965 Ramona Fly-in which was sponsored by our chapter. Features: -Flying events: Homebuilts, antiques, replicas, balloon burst competition and spot landing competitions. - John Thorp was the featured speaker. - Aerobatic display provided by John Tucker in a Starduster. - Awards given: Static Display; Safety; Best Workmanship; Balloon Burst; Aircraft Efficiency; Spot Landings. According to an article published in 1997, in 1969 we hosted a fly-In in Ramona that drew 16,000 people. Some Additional Dates, Numbers, Activities June 1954: 7 members. First meeting was held at the old La Mesa Airport. 1958: 34 members. First Fly-in was held at Gillespie Field. 1964: 43 members. Had our first Chapter project: ten PL-2’s were begun by ten Chapter 14 members.

    Members of the USNA Class of 1963 Who Served in the Vietnam War. Compiled by Stephen Coester '63 Supplement to the List of Over Three Hundred Classmates Who Served in Vietnam 1 Phil Adams I was on the USS Boston, Guided Missile Cruiser patrolling the Vietnam Coast in '67, and we got hit above the water line in the bow by a sidewinder missile by our own Air Force. ------------------- Ross Anderson [From Ross’s Deceased Data, USNA63.org]: Upon graduation from the Academy on 5 June 1963, Ross reported for flight training at Pensacola Naval Air Station (NAS) which he completed at the top of his flight class (and often "Student of the Month") in 1964. He then left for his first Southeast Asia Cruise to begin conducting combat missions in Vietnam. Landing on his newly assigned carrier USS Coral Sea (CVA-43) at midnight, by 5 am that morning he was off on his first combat mission. That squadron, VF-154 (the Black Knights) had already lost half of its cadre of pilots. Ross' flying buddy Don Camp describes how Ross would seek out flying opportunities: Upon our return on Oct 31, 1965 to NAS Miramar, the squadron transitioned from the F-8D (Crusader) to the F4B (Phantom II). We left on a second combat cruise and returned about Jan 1967. In March or April of 1967, Ross got himself assigned TAD [temporary additional duty] to NAS North Island as a maintenance test pilot. I found out and jumped on that deal. We flew most all versions of the F8 and the F4 as they came out of overhaul.

  • 120 Introduction Sampling Devices
    San Diego’s Marine Technology Industry By Brock J. Rosenthal Sampling Devices The study of the oceans started as a descriptive science describing and cataloging biological and geological specimens. Many clever mechanical collecting devices were devised to remotely retrieve samples. Initially, by necessity, all were built by the scientists who used them. One of the earliest companies in the U.S. to make sampling equipment for marine scientists was Kahl Scientific Company, sometimes known as Kahlsico. Started in New York City, by Joseph Kahl in 1935, Kahl Scientific began making metrological equipment; they soon catered to requests from customers for field equipment such as water and seafloor samplers.
