PHOTO ID REQUIRED for Ellis Island & Navy Lakehurst Tours Saturday, September 18th—Hidenburg Crash Site/Museum Tour Cathedral of the Air—USS Stoddard Memorial Service (Lunch on your own) The Hindenburg disaster took place on Thursday, May 6, 1937, as the German passen- ger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed as it was attempting to dock with its mooring mast at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, which is located adjacent to the borough of Lakehurst, New Jersey. Of the 97 people on board, 35 people died in addition to one fatality on the ground. The disaster was the subject of spectacular newsreel coverage, photographs, and Herbert Morrison's recorded radio eyewitness report from the land- ing field, which was broadcast the next day. The actual cause of the fire remains unknown, although a variety of theories have been put forward for both the cause of ignition and the initial fuel for the ensuing fire. The accident served to shat- ter public confidence in the giant, passenger-carrying rigid airship, and marked the end of the airship era. The Cathedral of the Air was conceived in the late 1920s by a member of the American Legion, Gill Robb Wilson of Trenton, with ground broken in 1932 for a memorial to the self-sacrifice and devoted service of aviators. This cathedral was built entirely by the AMERICAN LEGION. There were no federal subsidies or grants, and the labor was mostly by volunteers. Eighteen stained-glass win- dows have been installed through the years commemorating the history of flight in fact and in myth -- from the mighty horse Pegasus and the wax wings of Icarus, to one window honoring Dr. Hugo Eckener, the German pioneer of lighter-than-air aviation. The windows dazzle the eyes. The spec- trum of colors falls on the pews and nondenominational worshippers amid the subdued sounds of prayer.

USS Stoddard Alumni Newsletter—April 2010 Page 3 Commanding Officers—Revised April 2010 After the list of Commanding Officers USS Stoddard DD-566 was published in the January Newsletter, several shipmates pointed out that some CDR Horace ―Iron Mike‖ Myers Apr 15 1944 –Dec 1944 names were missing and others were in the CDR George Paul Unmacht Dec 1944 - Feb 18, 1946 wrong order. The source was the CDR Orville (Ollie) Liebschner Feb 18, 1946– June 10, 1946 NavSource, an online web site devoted to LCDR William James Hurst June 10, 1946-July 8, 1946 US Navy Ships including the ship’s Cap- ( Decommissioned Jul 8 1946 - Mar 9 1951 ) tains. I have since checked several sources CDR Eli Thomas Reich Mar 9, 1951 – Apr.17, 1952 and found what I think is the correct order CDR John Baumeister Jr. Apr 17, 1952-1954 and dates. This information has been given CDR John Blount Nelson 1954 - 1955 to NavSource and they are correcting their CDR Jacob Vincent Heimark Sep 1955 - Jan 1957 records.

    Remembering Pearl Harbor This year marks the 79th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. It is estimated there are fewer than 20 survivors still alive in 2020. The attack killed 2,403 service members and wounded 1,178 more. Six U.S. ships were sunk. Additionally, 169 U.S. Navy and Army Air Corps planes were destroyed. Civilians were also in danger. There were 34 men* from St. Louis, St. Louis County and St. Charles County killed in action. Nineteen of them were on the USS Arizona. There were two from St. Charles County killed in action. In all, 64* men were killed from Missouri. On December 6, 1941 we know of six St. Charles County residents stationed at Pearl Harbor during the attack. It is likely there were more. They were: • Frederick W. Baue, USS Chew, Destroyer • Ray Bohnenkamp USS Schley, Destroyer • James Cregan, USS Argonne, Supply Ship • Noble Burnice Harris USS Arizona, Battleship • George McElfresh, USS Reigel, Destroyer Tender • Joseph Gillespie Smartt, USNR PBY Pilot, Kaneohe Station Sadly, two would not survive the attack. In all, about 34 St. Louisans were killed at Pearl Harbor. St. Charles County Survivors Tell Their Stories Frederick W. Baue of St Charles was born 14-OCT 1915. He served aboard the USS Chew, an old destroyer, docked near “battleship row” next to the USS Allen. As Fred recalled, “I was downstairs eating breakfast, I got up topside about 5 or 10 minutes after it started. The Oklahoma was already going down.” Fred, a torpedoman, said “You can’t shoot torpedoes at airplanes, so I wound up on a machine gun.
