Dear James,-----Thanks for all the work you’ve been doing for so many years to make the Haynsworth Association newsletters, and reunions continue to be a leading example of such activities. I get newsletters and reunion notices from a number of the ships and commands in which I’ve served in my 27 years. Among them, yours are leaders. Looking at the July 2015 newsletter prompted me to look at when I last paid dues. To my chagrin it looks like the last time was in 2010. So I’m sending this snail mail so I can enclose a check. I will continue to look forward to the Haynsworth newsletters but will be happy to receive them in digital form only. (Editor’s note: Thank you Bill for the Dues and especially signing up for the digital newsletter!---Jim.) *********************************************************************************************** (Rec’d July 10, 2015 f/ Susan (Kniskern) Lewis, daughter of Capt. Kenneth L. Kniskern Cdr. 64-66, Worcester, MA) Hi, My name is Susan (Kniskern) Lewis. Though forwarding my father’s mail is painfully slow, I received the July 2015 newsletter regarding the Haynsworth, just a short time ago. I just wanted to mention that my father, Kenneth Kniskern who was the commanding officer of the USSHaynsworth at Galveston, TX, passed away peacefully on August 3, 2013 at the age of 87. If you or anyone affiliated with him would like to communicate to anyone of his children, you can write to me at [email protected] -----/s/ Susan Lewis (Editors Note: Those of you who served aboard during the term of Captain Kniskern are encouraged to contact Susan. Thanks. ------Jim). P.S. Responses on next page, (4). USS Haynsworth Newsletter MAIL BAG December 2015/ January 2016 Page 4 Continued from page 3, Re, Captain Kniskern On July 11, 2015 I responded to Susan Lewis.------Dear Susan, Thank you for informing me of the passing of your father, Captain Kniskern. You have the sincere condolence of all the Officers and crew of the USS Haynsworth. Captain Kniskern’s passing will be acknowledged at the Haynsworth’s annual reunion in Septembet at Niagara Falls NY. At our farewell banquet we have an opening ceremony commemorating all of our shipmates who have passed on since last years reunion. Your fathers passing will also be documented in our ‘TAPS’ Book and also in the next issue of the USS Haynsworth’s newsletter around December or January. If you like, I will mail thet issue to you and/or E-mail our E- newsletter. If I may ask, if you have any pictures of your father in uniform (or not) I will try to include it in the newsletter.. In fact, if your father had any pictures from his tim aboard the Haynsworth and you wouldn’t mind sharing with us, they would be appreciated and returned to you. Again, with deep sympathy, we mourn the passing of you father and our Shipmate.----- /s/ Jim Horn, 58-60 USS Haynsworth Newsletter Editor 2 Surrey Court Chambersburg, PA 17201-8756 ********************* Susan responded on July 11, 2015 Hi, I will work on getting some pictures for you.

SEE INSERT TO ORDER CHANCES ($2.00 each) NOW HEAR THIS! NOW HEAR THIS! The 2012 Haynsworth Reunion will be held at Albany New York. September 19 to 23, 2012, at the Crown Plaza Albany NY Last year’s Musical Ship’s Wheel, 2011 Reunion Clock was a huge success and highly desired raffle Clock. Based on the responses received, I selected a similar clock for our 2012 Reunion in Albany New York. This Particular clock called “The Americana” plays 18 tunes: America the beautiful; My Country ‘Tis of Thee; Battle Hymn of the Republic; You’re a Grand Old Flag; When the Saints Go Marching In; She wore a Yellow Ribbon; Amazing Grace; In the Garden; Ave Maria,(Hail Mary); How Great Thou art; Jesus Love Me; What a Friend We Have in Jesus; and 6 Christmas melodies; The First Noel; Jingle Bells; Silent Night; Deck the Halls; Joy to the World; and lastly, We Wish You a Merry Christmas. The shape is OVAL and 21” high by16” wide. The clock also has a light sensor so the music is not played at night.(so it doesn’t wake you up). On the hour, the clock Face opens and reveals a revolving patriotic display. There is an open window at the bottom of the clock revealing a pendulum movement. The frame of the clock is beautifully finished wood. See last year’s winner, Norm Schultz (44-45) inside this issue.

  • US Navy Supply Corps
    SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2017 SUPPOs Supplying the Fight A Message from the Chief of Supply Corps Recognizing the central importance of supply to establishing the Navy, President George Washington laid the foundation for the U.S. Navy Supply Corps in 1775 with the appointment of Tench Francis, a Philadelphia businessman, as the country’s first Purveyor of Public Supplies. Francis provided vital support to the first Navy ships, and started our tradition of selfless service. The Navy’s trusted providers of supplies, our supply officers (SUPPOs) keep operations running smoothly to support the mission. But they can’t do it alone. Working as a team with their skilled and experienced enlisted members, our SUPPOs are experts in our field who know inventory and financial management, food, retail, postal operations, and disbursing management. They are leaders and problem solvers who tackle complex challenges to implement effective and efficient management solutions, ensuring our customers’ needs are met. To be “Ready for Sea,” we must be professionally ready with the skills to operate in all our lines of operation. We also need character readiness, demonstrated by our integrity, accountabili- ty, initiative, and toughness. Lastly, we need to be individually ready; to be fit, healthy, and ready to meet the demands of the fight. This issue provides insights from our SUPPOs’ important work as they meet the unique needs of their various commands. Like the pursuers and paymasters who have gone before, SUPPOs uphold our rich heritage, and embrace their responsibilities to support the warfighter with a servant’s heart. Our SUPPO’s success depends on their character and competence, knowledge of the shore infrastructure, relationships with our professional civilian workforce, and on the enlisted members they lead and serve with.
