  • USS Iowa – Prologue
    USS Iowa – Prologue Let me tell you about BB-61, The USS Iowa, since it‘s a part of what happened: USS Iowa (BB-61), the lead ship of the Iowa class battleship, was the fourth United States Navy ship, and the second commissioned one, to be named in honor of the state of Iowa. Iowa's keel was laid down on 27Jun40 at the New York Navy Yard. Nicknamed "The Big Stick," the battleship was launched on 27Aug42 sponsored by Ilo Wallace, and commissioned on 22Feb43 with Capt. John L. McCrea in command. On 24Feb43, Iowa put to sea for shakedown in Chesapeake Bay and along the Atlantic coast. She got underway on 27Aug for Naval Station Argentia, Newfoundland, to neutralize the threat of German battleship Tirpitz, which was reportedly operating in Norwegian waters. In the fall, Iowa carried President Franklin D. Roosevelt to Casablanca, French Morocco, on the first leg of the journey to the Tehran Conference in November. After the conference, the ship returned the president to the United States. As flagship of Battleship Division 7, Iowa departed the United States 2Jan44 for the Pacific Theater and the ship's combat debut in the campaign for the Marshall Islands. From 29Jan to3Feb, she supported carrier air strikes made by Rear Adm. Fredrick C. Sherman's task group against Kwajalein and Eniwetok Atolls. Iowa's next assignment was to support air strikes against the Japanese naval base at Truk, Caroline Islands. In company with other ships, Iowa was detached from the support group 16Feb44 to conduct an anti-shipping sweep around Truk to destroy enemy naval vessels escaping to the north.

  • They're Gone a Decade, but Vince Lloyd's, Red Mottlow's Voices Remind of Eternal Friendships
    They’re gone a decade, but Vince Lloyd’s, Red Mottlow’s voices remind of eternal friendships By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, February 19, 2013 Both great men are gone nearly 10 years. But I still consider them my friends, present tense, because I still hear their distinctive voices loud and clear, whether in memories of being on the air, offering wise counsel or only skimming the top of their encyclopedia of stories and ex- periences. I’ve got to keep their memory alive, because gen- erations who never heard them or knew them de- serve the benefit of their output as men and all- time sportscasters. Vince Lloyd and Red Mottlow had great influence on me growing up. As I got to know them closely as their senior-citizen days ap- proached and progressed, my only regret – a big Red Mottlow pounding away at his type- one -- is not getting more decades with them in writer with some of his broadcast corporeal form. awards on the wall behind him. Longtime baseball announcer Lloyd should be a recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award, honoring a great voice of the game. Pioneering radio sports reporter Mottlow should have gotten his shot on the air at WGN. Subtracting these goals doesn’t take a shred away from their lifetime achievements. There was Lloyd’s rich baritone, hardly cracking when he bellowed “Holy Mackeral!” for a Cubs homer, intersecting with Mottlow’s staccato, rapid-fire “Red Mottlow, WCFL Sports” on mid-20th Century 50,000-watt Chicago-originated frequencies. There were kind, encouraging words amid the most political of businesses – sports media -- where negativity and a childish caste system still rule.

  • Shift from WGN Recalls Old Comfort Zone for Fans, Station, Cubs
    Shift from WGN recalls old comfort zone for fans, station, Cubs By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, June 9th, 2014 Wowww! Let’s go, batter up, we’re taking the afternoon off….It’s a beautiful day for a ballgame, for a ballgame today. The fans are out to get a ticket or two, from Walla Walla, Washington to Kalamazoo… Everything changes – even the most comfy things that fit to a tee. Familiarity and memories of childhood soundtracks of summer is why we’re all wrung out with the news the Cubs’ radio rights have shift- ed to WBBM-Radio from their 57-season home 60 kc down the dial at WGN. The news wasn’t unexpected. WGN re- opened its Cubs contract – not the other way around – before this season because it was losing its financial shirt, unable to re- coup enough ad revenue to cover produc- tion costs when the baseball ratings had gone in the dumper. A move like this be- came inevitable – just the timing was in question – after Tribune Co. sold the Cubs to the cash-hungry Ricketts family, which is saddled with a heavy debt service man- dated by corporate shark Sam Zell as the structure of the sale. Lou Boudreau (top) and Jack Quinlan in WGN- As long as Tribune Co. -- which acquired Radio's first season with the Cubs radio rights in the embryonic WGN in 1924 -- had um- 1958. brella ownership of the Cubs and WGN TV -radio properties, change was going to be far off in the future.

    Testimony Regarding the Renewal of the Sikes Act of 1960, as amended Dan Meyer, General Counsel Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (“PEER”) Before the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Fisheries Conservation, Wildlife and Oceans Legislative Hearing Thursday, April 10th, 2003 (10:00 AM; Room 1324) H.R. 1497, a bill to reauthorize Title I of the Sikes Act. Under P. L. 105-85, the Department of Defense is required to complete a comprehensive Integrated Natural Resource Management Plan (INRMP) for each of its installations. Enacted in 1960, this law has been extended a number of times with the current authorization of appropriations expiring on September 30, 2003. On March 27, 2003, Chairman Richard Pombo introduced the Sikes Act Reauthorization Act of 2003. This measure will extend until September 30, 2008, the authorization of appropriations for Title I of the Sikes Act that involves all of the components of wildlife conservation on military lands. The authorization is extended at its current level that provides up to $1.5 million each year to the Department of Defense and $3 million to the Department of the Interior. PEER thanks the Chair and Members of the Subcommittee for the opportunity to testify at this important juncture in federal environmental and merit system law. 2 Twin Components of the Common Defense: National and Environmental Security Good morning. I am Dan Meyer, General Counsel at Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (“PEER”). I am wearing my Southwest Asia Service lapel pin today in support of our forces: the soldiers, sailors, aircrews and marines that will return from the current war¾we hope¾to a clean and safe environment in which they can raise their families and heal their wounds, physical and psychological.

  • Deserving of Ford Frick Award, Vince Lloyd an Enduring Voice of Summer by George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, January 3Rd, 2013
    Deserving of Ford Frick Award, Vince Lloyd an enduring voice of summer By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, January 3rd, 2013 (First in a series of articles running throughout 2014 on the great personalities and events that marked Wrigley Field’s 100 years of opera- tion.)

Fergie Jenkins had to wait until Greg Mad- dux's career ended to see the Cubs uniform No. 31 they both wore retired. Achievers of a half century ago, such as 22-game winner Dick Ellsworth and 96-RBI producer George Altman, haven’t even been invited back to the Cubs Convention. And, sadly, Ron Santo only garnered Hall of Fame status posthumously, the Veterans Committee voters almost shamed to voting him in a year after diabetes complications finally nailed the beloved “This Old Cub.” The latter route unfortunately will need to be traveled again for the great Vince Lloyd to be considered for the Ford C.
